In a world where magic is the ultimate corporate currency, one man's ability to bend probability could either save the city—or burn it to the ground. When billionaire CEO Alex Thompson survives an impossible car crash, he awakens with a dangerous gift: the power to manipulate probability itself. In the neon-drenched streets of New Eden, where corporate empires are built on ancient magic and reality bends to those who control it, Alex's newfound abilities make him the most valuable—and hunted—man alive. But when he discovers his trusted assistant Maya is actually a witch sent to monitor him, everything shatters. She was his warden, not his ally. Now, as a malevolent cabal called the Architects emerges to exploit his powers and collapse all probability into one predetermined fate, Alex faces an impossible choice: trust the woman who betrayed him to save humanity's free will, or embrace absolute control and become the monster everyone fears. In a deadly game where trust is illusion and control is corruption, Alex must learn the hardest lesson of all—true power isn't bending fate to your will. It's having the courage to let go. The fate of New Eden hangs in the balance. And the probability of survival? Impossible to calculate.

A mistake. A stain on the family name. *** Those were the labels Adrian Cross grew up with. His mother slipped into a coma the day he decided to leave it all behind. Though she had always placed his stepbrother above him, Adrian stayed for her. Enduring the elites’ humiliation and his father’s cruelty, Adrian gave up his secret identity to fulfil his filial duty. Then he was thrust into a bride selection deal, earning the elites’ uproar. Badly beaten, Adrian accidentally rescued a game company mogul who willed his company to him. Reeling from everything, Adrian raced to his mother’s side and found she was awake. His two years of effort reduced to scorn, Adrian’s resolve to finally cut ties with the Cross family was stronger than ever. His status-conscious family had no intention of letting that happen, though. They thought they had him right where they needed him, but Adrian levelled up the game. The Phantom is back. The Spider Network reactivated. As the elites scramble to know and recruit the same man they sneer at, everything they thought they controlled begin to unravel, and beside him, a phoenix stands to burn their world to ashes.

“I’m not here to stay her bestie, Aiden. I came back to New York to marry her.” Wesley slips a card from his pocket, holding it out like it’s radioactive. “This is me being generous.

Not at the money—he could buy a hundred of those cards without blinking—but at the audacity. Because if Wesley knew who he really was… He’d be the one begging to disappear. **** By day, Aiden is the fool.

In a dark room filled with shadows and smoke, he gives orders—orders that no billionaire, no politician, no enemy dares question. They call him sir. But to his wife’s family? He’s still just the broke son-in-law. They don’t know the game they’re playing. Yet.
