Single Father

Blurb Humble and wild power is inherited. Survival is earned. Love? That’s just collateral damage. In a world where dominance is defined by bloodlines and digital warfare, four criminal empires reign supreme—each ruthless, unchallenged, and bound by a single code: protect the legacy at all costs. From the frozen alleys of St. Petersburg to the scorched sands of the Nevada Desert, from the opulent vineyards of Tuscany to the blood-soaked hills of Sinaloa, four underworld kings stand on the brink of war. Mikhail Volkov—the Russian ghost who commands an empire built on intelligence and silence. Antonio Moretti—the Italian strategist whose charm masks a heart of steel. Carlos Hernandez—the cartel lord with a code of fire and loyalty. Jack Sullivan—the American tactician who turns chaos into profit. Each has a daughter—brilliant, defiant, and bred for battle in a world that sees them as bargaining chips. Forced into strategic marriages meant to secure alliances, these women become more than pawns—they become the spark that threatens to ignite a global mafia war. As secrets unravel, alliances fracture, and hidden enemies rise, these kings will face their greatest threats—not from rivals, but from within their own blood. Can an empire built on control withstand daughters raised to be wild? 200000 words. 167 chapters of raw emotion, deadly twists, forbidden romance, and high-stakes betrayal await in Humble and Wild. In the shadows of power, even the humblest heart can change the world—or burn it down.

My name is Tobe, and I am just a poor boy from the Mainland slums. In our city, a massive concrete wall separates the poor people from the rich elites who live on the Island. The rich have everything: wealth, high-tech weapons, and powerful magic guilds. We have nothing but dirt and rifts, dangerous tears in reality that let monsters crawl into our streets. To keep my fourteen-year-old sister, Amarachi, safe, I worked myself to the bone. But the Island elites do not care about people like us. They tricked me. They used my family, took our blood, and left us to die so they could unlock a dark, legendary power called the Calamity Core. But I did not die. Instead, I woke up with a blue digital screen floating in front of my eyes. The system gave me a unique power that no other hunter has: Sovereign Necromancy. With every monster I kill, and with every corrupt elite I strike down, I can command their souls to stand up and fight for me. Every shadow I touch becomes my loyal soldier. Now, the rich elites are hunting us down to steal the core inside my sister's chest. But Amarachi is not a helpless child anymore, and I am no longer a weak boy from the slums. With an army of shadows at my back, I am breaking through their walls. I will protect my sister, destroy their corrupt guilds, and make every single billionaire pay for what they did to us.

She stole his mother Eleanor’s final masterpiece—a painting called “The Unbroken”—burned the original, and claimed the work as her own, building an art empire on the lie.

Ten years later, Dominic returns to Ashford City—no longer the helpless boy who fled, but the legendary Shadow King, the covert operative who single-handedly turned the tide of the Karethwyn War.

When he crashes Vivienne’s exclusive art gala—held in the penthouse built atop his mother’s destroyed studio, Dominic doesn’t just seek revenge. He seeks to reclaim everything stolen: his mother’s name, his sister’s freedom, and the truth buried under a decade of lies. But his return collides with Celeste Monroe, the woman he once saved, now trapped in an arranged marriage to Vivienne’s cowardly son Tristan. As old loyalties resurface and enemies close in, Dominic must decide: will he become the monster Vivienne created, or will he prove his mother’s belief—that some things remain unbroken, no matter how the world tries to shatter them?
