Single Dad

At twenty-eight, Adrian Cole returns to New York after being expelled from his family at eighteen. Once the heir to Cole Meridian, he was accused of stealing millions and lost everything. Now a hidden CEO, he receives an offer to investigate his father's death and accepts because the truth can restore his name. Adrian is intelligent, controlled, and decisive. He gives himself one deadline: uncover the truth before the people behind Richard's death discover his identity. His secret power makes him the perfect weapon against the family empire. The rules are clear: 1. No unnecessary trust. 2. No revealing his full power. 3. Never fall in love. But the contract is lying: Adrian's hidden clause makes emotional attachment a weakness his enemies can exploit. He protects Elena Cross, his business ally, while Marcus fights to keep Cole Meridian and a rival searches for Richard's records. Adrian follows the missing inheritance, Archive 17, and Grant Strategic Holdings, but every discovery exposes another person connected to his father's death. Adrian must choose between revenge and the truth. Marcus frames Adrian for corporate fraud. Adrian declares, "You took my name once. You won't take it again." Adrian takes control of Cole Meridian, but Samuel Reed returns with proof that Richard's death was only part of a larger operation. The fallout exposes Marcus's crimes and removes his control. The Circle's connection to Richard finally becomes public. Elena helps Adrian rebuild the company without controlling his decisions. Months later, Adrian stands in his father's restored office with the recovered records beside him. His name is finally cleared, but one sealed file carries a single warning: "London."

For three agonizing years, Marcus Chen endured the daily humiliation of being the Williams family's useless son-in-law. Mocked by his wife's relatives and treated as a live-in servant, he swallowed every insult while his beautiful wife, Emma, grew cold and distant, ashamed of their marriage. His breaking point came at Emma's birthday party, where his cheap gift was scorned and his brother-in-law, Daniel, publicly announced Emma's engagement to a wealthy rival. As Marcus stood broken and covered in champagne, Emma delivered the final, crushing blow: "I'm sorry, Marcus," she whispered. "But Daniel's right. You're... you're just not enough. You'll never be enough." But the forces that sought to destroy him made a fatal mistake. Stumbling into the cold night, Marcus was nearly killed in a staged accident, a final act of cruelty that instead triggered an ancient power. The **Legacy Inheritance System** roared to life, revealing his true identity as the lost heir to the trillion-dollar Chen Empire, a conglomerate thought destroyed twenty years ago. The system's first command was clear: **[SYSTEM ACTIVATED: HEIR RECOVERY PROTOCOL INITIATED]**. From a scorned waiter to the master of a hidden fortune, Marcus is reborn with a single, burning purpose: to reclaim everything that was stolen from him. Now, Marcus Chen is no longer the man they humiliated. Each system mission unlocks new abilities, exposes hidden enemies, and brings him closer to the truth behind his family's downfall. He will rise from the ashes of his past, an unstoppable force ready to crush the powerful elite who once laughed at his pain. Will he succeed in reclaiming his empire and proving his worth to the woman who abandoned him? Or will the conspiracy that destroyed the Chen family finish what they started? Dive into this tale of revenge, redemption, and the ultimate system-powered comeback.

Blake glanced at everyone in the room. Despite how they just treated him, he went down on his knees to beg them, throwing the shame and the hurtful feeling he was having at that moment through the window. “Please help me, my sister is dying. Even if you don't pay me for being a substitute husband on the wedding day like you promised, I will pay back every single penny” he pleaded. Maria kicked him hard on his stomach, making him stumble on the ground. “Were you assuming that I would give you a ten million you didn't work for? Are you stupid or pretending to be stupid?” she fired. Maria used Blake to save her face that day, a year ago. He was just the perfect person she needed, he was a cleaner, and it also felt like he needed money. Promising him money was the only thing that got him married to her. He is just a wretched pauper, she would never give her money to someone like Blake. “How do you intend to pay back if we lend you the money? From your part-time jobs?” she taunted. “Is leeching off us not enough? Now, you want more?” Mrs Jones added, bursting into a cynical laughter. “What have you done for us? You couldn't afford your tuition fees and dropped out because of that, what should I expect from someone of your caliber?” At that moment, Blake knew that they would not help him no matter what. Standing up with a shallow sigh, he peeked at them and shook his head. What was he thinking? **** Just when he thought life has ended, Blake found out that he was the owner of a company worth trillions of dollars. Will he seek revenge or hide his identity from his In-Laws?

"Please. Try her office line again. Tell her I don't have much time left." Ethan Cole died holding a phone that never rang back, his body eaten hollow by cancer while his wife stood in a chapel two hours away, marrying the man she actually wanted.

And somewhere behind him, a name from his old life is waiting to surface, one he thought he'd buried deep enough to never answer for. He died once for loving the wrong woman. What is he willing to become so it never happens again?

Picture this. You go on vacation. Meet this chill, beautiful woman. She loves you, you love her — everything feels perfect. You get married. Two years in, you’re madly in love — the kind where you’re telling her things you haven’t told your shadow. Then one night… You hear sounds in the house.

He asked for a divorce right away. His wife thought she finally won. Finally figured out how to make Charles realize he’s been nothing but a cockroach in her coffee all these years.

“You aren't destined to be rich. Stay poor, wear rags, and find women of your own caliber.” Those were the parting words of Jayden's girlfriend when she dumped him for a wealthy man. He had always noticed her shifting behavior, her expensive new outfits, and her sudden obsession with appearance—but what could a nobody like him do? He was just an ordinary worker grinding day and night at a local bakery. He had literally gone hungry just to please her, only to be cast aside like trash. Devastated and broken, Jayden returned to his empty room. Then, his phone buzzed. A single message changed everything. A bank credit with nine zeros. Before he could even process the impossible sum, a phone call came from a stranger—the Vice President of the world-renowned Apexium Conglomerate. But this wasn't a random stroke of luck; it was deliberate. It was a chilling realization that he was being watched, and that outsiders knew the dark secrets of his past better than he did. The call revealed a shocking truth that turned his ordinary life upside down: he was the sole heir to an untouchable empire. To claim his legacy and survive the corporate leeches waiting to end his life, Jayden must drop his simple existence and split his life into three ruthless identities: A life in the morning as an ordinary baker using his old life to quietly investigate, infiltrate, and gather evidence against his enemies. Life in the afternoon as the powerful, untouchable CEO exuding absolute confidence and authority in the boardroom. A life at night as a brutalized student pushing his body to the absolute limit, training in lethal martial arts under a ruthless master to survive the shadows. The game has changed. They underestimated him. Let's find out how wrong they were.
