Can't Fake The Feeling

For twenty-five years, Benedict Vandross gave everything to the Ashcroft family. He sacrificed his dreams to build their billion-dollar empire, worked tirelessly to protect their legacy, and loved them as if they were his own. Yet to them, he was only the quiet young man who never complained, never refused, and never asked for anything in return. Then the family's "long-lost heir" finally comes home. Overnight, Benedict is cast aside. The father he admired no longer looks his way. The mother who unknowingly cherished him is told to forget him. The sister he protected turns against him. Even the woman who promised to spend her life with him chooses the newly returned heir instead. Humiliated, betrayed, and left with nothing, Benedict walks away without a single word. But the Ashcroft family has made one fatal mistake. The son they abandoned was never an outsider. He is the only one who carries the true Ashcroft blood. As old secrets buried for decades begin to surface, a ruthless conspiracy threatens to destroy the empire from within. The "heir" they welcomed may be nothing more than a carefully placed pawn, while the son they threw away becomes the only man capable of saving everything they hold dear. When the truth is finally revealed, will regret be enough to mend a family that buried its own heir? Or will the man they never valued choose to let their empire fall? Sometimes the greatest betrayal isn't losing your family-- it's discovering they never knew who you truly were.

When my daughter, Lila Haye, was declared brain-dead, my wife, Emma Hayes, urged me to consent to organ donation. Consumed by sorrow and struggling to cope, I uncovered a devastating secret: Blake Thompson, Lila’s attending physician, was Emma’s ex-lover. They had lied about Lila’s true state to coerce me into signing the consent form, intending to save Blake’s own daughter, Sophia. The sight of Emma lovingly holding Sophia while appearing like a perfect family shattered me. In a rage, I confronted them, only to be pushed from a building, resulting in my death. However, I was mysteriously given another chance, finding myself back on the day of the consent signing. As I gazed at Lila lying in the hospital bed, I vowed silently that this time, I would ensure both Emma and Blake faced the consequences for their betrayal.

Harry Klein grew up as the disgrace of the Klein family—the bastard son of a daughter who ran away years ago. Raised like a servant and mocked by everyone, he endured endless humiliation while his relatives treated him as less than human. On the day of the Beast-Taming Awakening Ceremony, the family publicly disowns him. “Your mother ran away and left behind garbage,” his cousin John sneers. “Someone like you will probably awaken a cockroach.” The crowd laughs. Even Elder Margaret coldly declares that Harry no longer belongs to the Klein family. But when Harry touches the ancient summoning crystal, the sky erupts with blinding light. A terrifying figure descends beside him—an angel with dark, radiant wings and overwhelming power. Professor Walsh trembles in shock. The beast Harry awakened is not ordinary. It is a Forbidden Angel. The same relatives who mocked him moments ago stand frozen in disbelief. John stammers, “That’s impossible… Trash like him can’t control a forbidden beast!” For eighteen years, Harry endured their insults—especially the shame they placed on his runaway mother. Now, with the Forbidden Angel at his side, he vows to uncover the truth behind her disappearance. And when he does, the family that humiliated him will face the revenge of the bastard they cast aside.

He spent three years on his knees. He was never meant to be there. Three years ago, Kael woke up in an alley with no memories and no name. A wealthy family took him in, married him to the daughter they'd given up on, and turned him into their live-in servant—the one who apologizes when vases break and doesn't fight back when fists fly. Then something inside him starts to wake up. Hunters begin appearing. Beautiful, inhuman things that speak a name he doesn't recognize, and when they say it, something in him answers. Memories start bleeding through—memories of power, of judgment, of being something far more than human. Kael wasn't a nobody who lost his past. He was a god. The one who held other gods accountable. And when he got too close to their secrets, they ripped away his power, erased his mind, and buried him in a mortal body to suffer and forget. Now he's remembering. But every time he reaches for what he used to be, he loses a piece of the life he built here—his memories, his emotions, his connection to the wife who stayed. His brother, a god of war, is coming to finish the job. Seven days until he arrives. Kael can become what he was and lose everything human about himself, or stay who he is and die.
