Controlling

Adrian Veyron is a man pushed to the absolute brink. He was a promising young man whose life was derailed when a corrupt partner ruined his family, leaving his father dead and his mother severely ill. He managed to build a small, struggling logistics company from scratch and married Elena Sterling, a daughter of old money. Instead of a sanctuary, the marriage became a living hell; his elite in-laws treated him like dirt and a glorified punching bag due to his lack of wealth. Everything changed the night Adrian was brutally beaten and thrown out of his father-in-law's gala. On his way home, he used his last pennies to save a dying beggar from thugs. That beggar was the legendary founder of The Dominion, a massive shadow syndicate controlling the global economy. Adrian instantly inherited this ultimate empire—but with a lethal catch: out of 109 global conglomerates, 108 have been seized by nine traitorous factions who now want the new heir dead.
