If We Had 5 More Minutes

John Whitaker had nothing but his name—just a plain, useless name in a world ruled by money, influence, and cold-hearted power. He was the unwanted son-in-law of the Prestwick dynasty; an empire worth hundreds of billions. His marriage to Eleanor Prestwick was a shameful secret, something the Prestwick family pretended never happened, and whenever they had to acknowledge it, they reminded everyone that John was the charity case Eleanor brought home from a job internship in a poor neighborhood out of pity. They called him a parasite. They treated him like a stray dog that refused to leave. They spat on his dignity, sneered at his dreams, and sneered even louder when his mother was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. When he begged for help on his knees, in tears, in public; they laughed. John almost lost his will to live. But fate has a way of rewarding the broken. That very night, when he had no place to sleep, and his mother was on the brink of death in a public hospital ward stinking of poverty and pain, a letter arrived. An inheritance. John Whitaker was not who he thought he was. He was the sole blood heir to the late Howard Ravenshore, the secretive trillionaire who had disappeared from the global stage ten years ago. A man with holdings in every continent, silent power over more than forty governments, and a fortune beyond imagination. His assets were masked under shell companies, shadow trusts, and ghost accounts—untouchable, invisible, unstoppable. And now all of it belonged to John. In an instant, the man who once begged for pennies became the richest human being alive.

For years, Mikael Winston let the world believe he was nothing. He played the fool so his family would have one less person to fight over the inheritance. He buried his name, his pride, and everything he was capable of becoming just to keep the peace. Then, when fire tore through a burning building, he risked his life to save a woman— and paid for it with his face. The woman he saved married him anyway. At least, that was what he believed. One week was all it took for her to reveal the truth. She had gotten what she wanted: a fifty-million-dollar contract signed by his hands, her fortune secured, and no intention of staying married to the scarred man she'd once pretended to love. There had never been a real marriage. No vows that counted. No future together. Just humiliation. And somehow, through a cruel twist of fate, Mikael was legally bound to another woman instead—a young maid with nothing but a scholarship, a kind heart, and nowhere else to go. Like him, she had been discarded by the people who were supposed to value her. They laughed at them both. They should have been more careful about who they were laughing at. Because Mikael Winston was never the useless man they thought he was. The heir they buried had finally come home. He built Vivienne's fortune with his own two hands. Now, he'll tear it down the same way. Piece by piece. Deal by deal. Until her empire is nothing but ruins—and the only name anyone remembers is Mikael Winston.
