The Abandoned Empress

Vincent Finn was convicted for a misdemeanor committed by his wife, Amber Reed who was also a rookie lawyer at Peak Law Firm like himself. He kept her secret and took the fall because she was carrying their child and his mother-in-law begged him to save her daughter. He lost everything! His dignity and name soiled forever! He was doomed and they all abandoned him totally. He returned a year later and walked in on his wife in bed with the law firm’s superior lawyer, Bernard Harris. Both his mother-in-law and wife shunned him, rubbing in his face his own gullible choice and served him a divorce. Amber had even aborted the pregnancy she had for him back then. What no one saw coming was his discovery while in prison. Peak Law firm was actually his inheritance. He returned to the law firm as a mere desk staff hiding his identity to destroy them from within, exposing all their illegal dealings and reforming the company using his newly acquired power. Will he be able to exert his revenge on them without blowing his cover? Will he conquer the destructiveness that lies around the secrets of Peak Law Firm?

Alex Carter charged into burning buildings for a living, but nothing scorched deeper than watching his wife walk out of the smoke with another man—leaving him behind to die. One hospital room later, he learned the truth: the woman he had loved, protected, and nearly died for was holding another man’s hand, spending millions on his comfort while Alex bled alone. Divorce was quiet. His disappearance was silent. The world thought the firefighter vanished… But he was only rising. Nobody knew Alex was heir to a global financial dynasty worth more than nations—money measured not in millions, not in billions, but quintillions.

I’m just the king that climbed out of the ashes.” Now the woman who abandoned him kneels at the gates of his empire, the man she chose crumbling under the weight of Alex’s return. She left a firefighter. She will crawl before a Quintillionaire King.
