Professor

In the parking lot of Ifewood University, students were trickling in and out of the Mozambique hostel for female students.  James Keenan, a charismatic postgraduate student of business known as a "Campus Bad Boy," was infamous through his undergraduate days as a con man, sly, and a member of the university cult, The Eagles.  His piercing eyes rove up and down the road as he tries to select his pick for the night. The Eagles were throwing a party on the outskirts of town tonight.  Most students had returned home as school was officially on summer break.  James sat in Shane's car with Gabriel, Austin, and Shane, all members of the same cult, smoking, and each man nursing his own thoughts about the party tonight. Beatrice Kenan was coming back from the library, dressed in a simple yellow tank top, blue jeans, and denim canvas. Her bag was strapped to her shoulder, and her mind was in turmoil. She wondered, How on earth could she fail the simplest of her courses? Professor Bam must definitely be a certified bastard to have failed her. How is she ever going to pass this course without succumbing to his threats and advances? Just as she thought of picking up her phone from her bag to call her friend Yvonne, she came into James's vision. Who is she?  Definitely the one.  As far as James was concerned, the night was set for the Eagles. None of them could have imagined what destiny planned for the future, as love, betrayal, and deception set the pace in this love triangle.

For two years, Adrian West has been the most laughed at man in the Feng family. They call him useless, jobless and a dreamer. Nobody knows that every night, he is secretly chasing the greatest treasure in history: the lost vault of the Song Dynasty. His grandfather, a famous professor, was called a liar and died for this secret. Adrian will do anything to prove the old man was right. On the night his mother in law throws divorce papers at him, a cracked piece of "junk" jade lands at his feet. Hidden inside is the last clue he has searched for his whole life. But the Han family, the same family that destroyed his grandfather, has been watching him all along. They steal the jade, threaten the Feng family, and force Adrian into a deadly race. Now Adrian must trust the one person he has lied to for two years: his wife, Helen. Cold and proud, she is slowly discovering that her "useless" husband is braver, smarter and kinder than anyone knew. Together they must solve ancient puzzles, escape traps, and find out who they can really trust, even inside their own family. But the vault will not open for greed. It will open only for the one who loves what lies inside more than what lies beyond. When the Hans take the people Adrian loves, he must choose between the treasure his family died for and the family he has come to love.

Being a loser in his in-laws' household, Vero is constantly looked down upon because they believe that a son-in-law like him could never become successful. With no known family background and having grown up in an orphanage, he is mocked and despised by everyone around him. At the office, he is often taken advantage of and even bullied for being too honest and innocent. Everything changes the day Vero catches his wife making out with her boss in their bed. Heartbroken and pushed beyond the limits of his endurance, Vero decides to end his life. However, that very incident unexpectedly activates a mysterious system that has been linked to him all along. The system was created by a mad scientist determined to change the fate of his descendants—Vero's own grandfather. A brilliant professor who once collaborated with some of the world's greatest scientists, he developed a technology far ahead of its time. Unfortunately, before the system could be fully activated, his laboratory was raided by people seeking to steal his technology. Left with no other choice, the old scientist implanted the System Chip into the body of his grandson, Vero. Now, with the system finally activated, Vero's destiny is about to change forever. The system inside Vero's body will only activate when he falls into extreme despair and his desperation level exceeds 80 percent. A system capable of turning an ordinary man into a billionaire overnight.

Nathaniel "Nate" Cole once designed skylines. Now he guards one at night, a security badge instead of a license, after his partner Preston Vale framed him for a bribe he never took and stole both his practice and his name. Working nights in the Meridian, the Atlanta tower Vale built from Nate's own blueprints, Nate discovers a floor that officially doesn't exist: a concrete corridor carved with binding runes, sealed behind a steel door that knows his name. Vale finally confesses the truth. The tower isn't just a building. It's a cage, built over a century-old tomb, designed with ancient containment architecture to hold something that has been quietly waking for eighteen months, feeding on the fear of every tenant who has died, vanished, or fled since the day it opened. The entity behind the door, the Hollow Word, has been shaping Nate's life far longer than eighteen months. It orchestrated the bribery charge that ruined him, steered him back to the one building only he can unlock, and now holds his younger brother Eli as leverage, offering Nate power, vindication, and revenge against everyone who ever wronged him, in exchange for one thing: help it walk free. With his brother's life on the line, a retired professor's fragments of the closure ritual, and a partner who refuses to let him go in alone, Nate must descend through the tower's hidden maze toward the tomb beneath its foundation. What waits there rewrites everything he believed about his own bloodline and why the Meridian chose him from the very beginning. Closing the door will cost him something he can never get back. Refusing costs everyone else absolutely everything he has left.
