Todoroki Brother

BEAUTY and the Unconquered Beast Five years ago, Evren Valcero was the shame of his family. The illegitimate son of the powerful Valcero Clan, Evren was mocked, humiliated, and treated as a useless heir. When his own brother committed a crime, the Valceros sacrificed Evren to protect their family name. He was sent to Blackhaven —an isolated island prison reserved for the world's most dangerous criminals. Everyone believed he would never come back. They were wrong. Five years later, Evren walks out of Blackhaven alive. But the weak and broken man who entered the prison is gone. Inside Blackhaven, Evren learned things no ordinary man should know. Under the guidance of a mysterious old master, he mastered combat, strategy, medicine, business, and the art of reading people. And somewhere along the way, the underworld gave him a name.

Her uncle wants her destroyed, her cousins want her reputation ruined, and her own relatives are waiting for the perfect opportunity to take everything from her. To both families, the marriage is nothing more than a convenient arrangement. A useless man for a troublesome woman. Neither side realizes what they are bringing together. When a suspicious car crash nearly kills Vireya, Evren saves her without hesitation. Then the real games begin. Someone is trying to destroy Vireya. Someone is watching Evren.

Matthew stood there, trying to keep his emotions in check. "I did everything I could for you, Rachel. I sacrificed so much—" She cut him off with a bitter laugh. "Sacrificed? Please, you barely managed to keep up with my lifestyle. I had men lined up, rich, powerful men, who would’ve given me the world. And I turned them down for you. What a joke." Matthew’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. "I loved you, Rachel. I thought we were building a life together." Rachel smirked as she zipped up her designer bag. "Love doesn’t pay the bills, Matthew. Love doesn’t buy the things I want. And frankly, you just couldn’t keep up. So, I’m moving on—to someone who can." As she headed toward the door, she paused to deliver one final blow. "You’ll never be more than what you are right now—a pathetic, broke man with nothing to offer. Enjoy your sad little life, Matthew. I know I will." Matthew Donovan has always been underestimated.

But when a bomb explodes at a high-profile party meant to announce his return, Matthew realizes that his journey to reclaim his family's legacy is fraught with danger. With secrets unfolding and enemies lurking in the shadows, Matthew must navigate treacherous waters to protect what is his and uncover the truth behind the attack.

“Don’t make a scene, Marcus.” Quinn’s eyes, always so cold, flicked over him as if he were an unwanted stain. “A Saintess can’t be sullied by a man like you. Keep your distance.” For three years, Marcus Steel was a ghost in his own marriage. His wife, worshipped for her holy power, never let him near—not even a touch, not a night together. Yet every gathering, she let Alexander—her so-called ‘brother,’ his former best friend—rest his head in her lap, her hand stroking his hair, their laughter intimate and careless for the world to see. “Does it ever bother you?” Marcus whispered one night, desperation thick in his voice. “That you give him what you never gave me?” Sophia only smiled, distant as ever. “Alexander needs me. You… you’re just my duty.” When the earthquake shattered the banquet hall, Marcus reached for her through the falling debris. “Quinn! Please! Just take my hand—help me!” But her golden barrier was already around Alexander. She didn’t even look at Marcus as he screamed, “I’m your husband! Don’t leave me—” “I can’t save everyone,” she said, voice like ice. “Alex is injured. I promised to protect him.” As rubble crushed his body and hope faded, something ancient awoke in Marcus. Flames danced in his blood, power surging from the pain, the betrayal. From the ashes of humiliation and heartbreak, a dragon roared to life. Marcus Steel is dead. The Dragon King rises—and the Saintess will beg for mercy she never showed. DRAGON BOOK PART 2- PRIESTESS'S WORTHLESS HUSBAND IS A DRAGON COMMANDER

Leo Hamilton spent three years at Harwick University hiding in plain sight—enduring manufactured poverty, three jobs, and a transactional relationship with his girlfriend, Maya. When Maya frames him for academic theft to protect her own social standing, she unwittingly triggers a 1987 "hostile intent clause" buried deep within the Hamilton Global Foundation Trust. In a single afternoon, twelve digits of dormant, generational wealth unlock, transforming the campus’s most invisible student into its most powerful sovereign. But the money is just the opening salvo in an impending urban war. Across the city, Damien Cross—Leo’s brilliant, illegitimate half-brother raised in deliberate obscurity—has been waiting for this exact moment. Backed by Douglas Farr’s predatory private equity firm, Hartwell Capital, Damien intends to legally and financially annihilate the legitimate heir to claim the family name. Damien’s ultimate weapon is Selene Voss, a lethally effective social infiltrator trained to dismantle Leo’s alliances from within. The corporate chessboard fractures when Selene discovers a horrific boundary Damien crossed: the cold-blooded murder of a city official. Realizing she is merely an expendable instrument to a monster, Selene defects, delivering raw intelligence to Leo not out of a moral awakening, but for survival. Equipped with her data, Leo must wage a calculated war on four fronts simultaneously: a corrupt university administration, a private equity conspiracy, a government ministry primed to absorb his inheritance, and a ruthless brother who uses murder as a business strategy. Leo doesn't fight the trap; he renders it radioactive. Through glacial patience and architectural intelligence, he deploys precise legal instruments, media leverage, and forensic audits to dismantle the conspiracy. Ultimately, the shadow heir is legally neutralized, and Leo steps out of the wreckage to claim his throne.

Ethan Moore spent ten years being the perfect husband. He worked sixteen hour shifts so his wife Claire could carry designer bags. He paid off his mother in law's credit card debt four times. He covered his brother in law's DUI lawyers, his daughter's private school tuition, and every vacation, every spa trip, every brunch bill that his family racked up without ever once saying thank you. And when he lay dying in a hospital bed with three cracked ribs and a punctured lung, not one of them held his hand. "I called the insurance company this morning. The payout is $750,000, but with the accidental clause, it bumps to 1.2 million." His wife crossed her legs and scrolled through her phone without looking at him once. "What about the stock options from his company? Those vest on death, don't they?" His mother in law leaned against the doorframe with her arms folded. And then his daughter, the girl he carried on his shoulders at county fairs, the girl he stayed up with during thunderstorms, looked up from her phone and said the words that stopped his heart. "You know he's not even my real dad, right? I just want to know if I still get stuff. I really need a new phone." He woke up three years in the past with every memory of his deathbed burned into his brain and a system that returned every dollar he spent tenfold. The man who once apologized to a waiter for sending back cold soup now buys $400,000 suits without blinking. The man who skipped his own father's funeral because his wife said they couldn't afford the flight now carries $20 million in his back pocket. The pushover is dead. And the people who killed him don't even know he's coming.

Then the apocalypse begins. Cities fall. Civilization collapses. The dead rise. The people who once mocked, betrayed, and abandoned him come crawling back. "Xavier... I was wrong. Please... give me one more chance." "Brother Xavier... spare me! I'll do anything! Please don't leave me outside!"

Now Xavier lives by one unbreakable rule: "Those who betrayed me can face the apocalypse on their own." In this lifetime, he will save only those worth saving. Will Xavier change humanity's fate or simply watch those who betrayed him perish one by one? When the apocalypse begins, who will survive... and who will beg at Xavier Lancaster's gates?
