Best Friend

On the day Jamie lost his mother to cancer, he also lost his only accommodation and his girlfriend. Years of torture, humiliation and servitude from his stepfather and stepbrothers, Jamie was nothing more than a miserable bastard to the Reynolds, one they so desperately needed to do away with. His mother’s death was their perfect opportunity as his stepfather evicted him from his house, abused him and his dead mother publicly, and ordered the doctor to sell her corpse to organ harvesters. His stepbrothers made a spectacle of him and his dead mother, treating them as though they were worse than animals. And to crown their hall of humiliation, they took his girlfriend and cost him his job. With everything lost, there was nothing to live for anymore. Jamie owed the hospital over $100,000 and his boss over the same amount. His life was at risk, his existence was meaningless, and everything was set against him… Except for a sudden alert of $10,000,000,000 and a call from the world’s richest and most powerful man, claiming to be his grandfather. Jamie wasn’t a bastard after all; he had a family—a rich and powerful family at that—and he was their rightful heir. With a net worth of tens of trillions of dollars and the power to shut down the world with the snap of his finger… What fate awaits all those who did him wrong? What end has he destined for those who mocked his dead mother and her dignity? What was in the heart of the trillionaire for those who made his life hell and paraded their measly change over him? Revenge is best served cold…Or whatever temperature the Rich and Powerful Jamie Ashford wants!

"Please. Try her office line again. Tell her I don't have much time left." Ethan Cole died holding a phone that never rang back, his body eaten hollow by cancer while his wife stood in a chapel two hours away, marrying the man she actually wanted. It was the most devastating period, dying while holding his phone and dialing a number of the woman you married and she couldn't even pick the call until he gave up on the bed. But sometimes fate always render a second chance so that we can live the life we should've seek and lived in the first chance. He wakes up on the same morning, two years earlier, young again, healthy again, and remembering every single thing she let happen to him. This time there's no cake. No begging. No breakfast waiting for a woman who never said thank you once in two years. Ethan signs the divorce papers himself and leaves them on the table for Sophia Morgan to find. She built her whole marriage on a lie and a lover her family never approved of, and she never planned on her lived in husband waking up smarter than her. Her father calls him useless. Her cousin calls him nothing. Ethan calls it quits, saves the one friend he buried last time, and starts taking back everything he gave away for free. But Sophia isn't finished owning him. And somewhere behind him, a name from his old life is waiting to surface, one he thought he'd buried deep enough to never answer for. He died once for loving the wrong woman. What is he willing to become so it never happens again?

He watched his family die through a crack in the kitchen wall. At seventeen, Miguel Ramirez learned that survival and innocence never leave the same room together. By sunrise, he buried his parents, his sister, and the boy he used to be. He crossed the border into America with fake papers, borrowed hope, and one promise carved into his bones: one day, he would find the man responsible. Twenty-five years later, Miguel is no longer the boy who hid. He is Michael Reyes, billionaire developer, political donor, husband, father, one of LA's most respected men. But behind the tailored suits and charity galas, he is El Fantasma: the ghost, the invisible architect of an empire powerful enough to move money, governments, and men without leaving fingerprints. Then, at a gala in London, he sees him. Julian Vane. The man who stood in his childhood home and gave the order that destroyed his family is alive, smiling beside ministers and central bank officials like murder was just another investment. Miguel should kill him. Instead, he starts digging and finds something worse than revenge. The massacre in Chiapas wasn't random. His entire life was designed. His rise inside the criminal empire known as The Circle was engineered before he crossed the border. His closest friend, Diego, wasn't sent to save him, he was sent to deliver him. And the man who built him into a weapon was not just his mentor. He was his father. Now Miguel is hunted by the network that made him, betrayed by everyone he trusted, and forced to ask whether the life he built was ever truly his,especially with Elena Vega, sent to watch him, who stayed because she chose him. He survived his enemies. He may not survive his family.

What?!?" Pia exclaimed. “What's within?” Saying, "Oh my God! Is that a finger that has been chopped?’ Cassandra uttered, "I'm not sure!” "What the fuck does that even mean?!?" exclaimed Pia. Cassandra says, "What?!?" Please don't look at me that way. Furthermore, I have no idea what that even means!’ Pia commented, "This is embarrassing," and Cassia responded, "Okay, I'm going to call the police right away." "No!" exclaimed Pia. Oh no, please don't! “ Cassiandra uttered, "Are you serious at this moment? Cass, that is one fucking chopped finger! Furthermore, we have no idea whose finger it is!” "I'm sure that whoever sent this wouldn't really like it if we ever called the police about this," Pia said. "I also think that they might be keeping an eye on us right now." Cassandra was already breathing heavily as she was scared and doesn't know what to do. She panicked while Pia remained calm and silent as she tries to calm her friend down. Fear flashed through Cassandra's mind as she and Pia stood next to her car, their nerves still raw from the uncomfortable meeting. "Then, what do we do now?" Cassandra's eyes darted across the surroundings while her voice wavered with anxiety. With her own heart rate accelerating due to adrenaline, Pia tried to calm their agitated minds. "Maybe we'll try to calm down first..." However, Cassandra's mind was already racing, a flash of insight emerging in her. "But wait, the letter!" Pia looked in astonishment, taken aback by Cassandra's apparent eagerness. "What?" Words flew out of Cassandra's mouth, a trace of panic in her tone. "H-Haven't that box come with a letter?" Pia's face wrinkled as she considered what Cassandra had said, realizing what had happened.
