Billionaire
Sara married to Lucas. In order to support her husband, Sara is willing to live simply and work as an ordinary clerk at her family's shopping center, without receiving a penny from her family's inheritance. She became the backbone of the household, providing for Lucas and his family, believing that her love and sacrifice would be rewarded.
However, those sacrifices turned into wounds when Sara learned that Lucas was having an affair with a woman who had been considered his business partner. To make matters worse, the business she had helped build became a tool for Lucas to betray her. Not wanting to be victimized any longer, Sara decided to stand up. She returned to her family and used all her resources to destroy Lucas. With her intelligence, she slowly took over the business that she had helped grow, leaving Lucas pressed and losing ground. Sara utilized her father's connections to pressure Lucas' investors to withdraw their support. She also manipulated distribution channels, making it difficult for Lucas's company to secure raw material supplies.
However, Lucas is not a man to give up easily. He tried to turn things around by threatening Sara with a secret document that could destroy Sara's family's reputation. Sara is faced with a dilemma: let Lucas off the hook to protect her family, or keep bringing him down despite having to face huge consequences.
At the end of the story, Sara finds a way to get rid of Lucas without destroying her family. She works with the authorities to frame Lucas, proving that he has committed tax evasion and financial manipulation in the company he manages. Lucas is eventually arrested, and his business is completely destroyed. However, before he was completely defeated, Lucas made one last threat: that he would come back and take revenge.

Chapter: Eighty FourBy July, the Midwest heat had settled over Lake Michigan, softening the sharp city edges into a warm, shimmering haze. The annual Smith-König Foundation Gala wasn't held in the cold, cavernous ballrooms of a downtown hotel. Instead, we opened the manicured grounds of the North Point estate. Strings of warm fairy lights stretched between the high pine boughs down to the water’s edge, illuminating dozens of white linen tables, live acoustic jazz, and hundreds of guests ranging from city planners and local trade apprentices to international investors. I stood on the elevated stone patio wearing a sleeveless emerald silk gown, my dark hair pinned back in an elegant twist. The silver signet ring rested against my right hand, while the platinum band gleamed under the soft terrace lighting. A quiet step approached from behind, and the faint, familiar scent of cedar and amber wrapped around me. Matthias slid his arm around my waist, pulling me back against his chest. He looked devast

Chapter: Eighty FiveThe late August heat began to break just as the sun dipped behind the western tree line, casting long, violet shadows across the manicured lawns of the estate. Inside the main villa, the quiet was absolute—a soothing contrast to the whirlwind of the past few months. In the kitchen, the scent of freshly brewed dark roast coffee filled the air. Natty sat at the island counter, a tablet propped open in front of her as she reviewed the initial floor plans for the new regional art center. She looked up as I entered, her face breaking into a bright, easy smile. "The permits cleared town council this morning," Natty said, turning the screen slightly toward me. "No delays, no last-minute challenges. It’s completely clean." I leaned against the counter, taking a warm mug from her. "You made quick work of that." "We’ve done this enough times now, Sara," Natty replied, her tone warm with a deep, familiar affection. "When the foundation is solid, things fall into place." She was right.

Chapter: Eighty SixThe late-summer sun began its slow descent into the western horizon, painting the sky above the open bay in vast, sweeping streaks of amber, rose, and deep indigo. The Iron Sovereign lay resting at anchor in the quiet cove, dropping its berth far out of sight from any municipal coastline or commercial shipping lane. The water around the hull was so smooth and glassy it mirrored the changing colors of the evening sky without a single ripple. Down in the main cabin, the warm amber glow of recessed lamps illuminated polished teak paneling and high linen upholstery. The high-strung, endless chatter of market feeds was absent; the wide media screens remained dark, reflecting only the calm interior of the ship. I sat at the small built-in desk near the aft window, running a fountain pen over a leather journal. For the first time since taking over the Chairmanship, I wasn't auditing offshore transfers or preparing emergency press statements. I was simply writing down project goals f

Chapter: Eighty ThreeThe morning sun broke over the lake in brilliant sheets of pale amber, burning away the lingering spring mist along the North Point shore.Inside the glass-walled sunroom of the main house, the air was warm and quiet, carrying the faint, sweet scent of blooming white jasmine from the terrace pots. The space was filled with natural timber furniture, soft cream linen, and low bookshelves crowded with architectural volumes, legal histories, and leather-bound notebooks.I sat at the corner table with my legs drawn up under a soft knit cardigan, a fresh cup of Earl Grey tea steaming beside a thick, bound ledger with completely blank cream pages.For years, every notebook I owned had been filled with urgent directives—debts to settle, corporate proxies to counter, legal loopholes to patch, and survival strategies mapped out line by line. Holding a pen over a page with nothing that needed to be solved was a quiet, almost disorienting luxury.A heavy, familiar step sounded on the hardwoo

Chapter: Eighty TwoThe deep winter snows of January had given way to the gentle, thawing rains of early spring. Across the city, the frozen ground was softening, making way for new foundations, new growth, and long-awaited beginnings. I sat at the wide mahogany desk in my corner office on the 80th floor of Smith-König Tower. The morning rain streaked softly across the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, blurring the gray Chicago skyline into a serene, watercolor backdrop. Spread out across the desk were not corporate balance sheets or legal briefs, but a set of preliminary architectural sketches for the Westside Women’s Shelter and Career Center. A quiet knock sounded at the door before Natty walked in, wearing a sleek navy blazer and carrying two warm lattes. She set one down on my desk, her eyes immediately falling on the open blueprints. "The board approved the land acquisition for the second facility this morning," Natty said, a triumphant smile lighting up her face as she sat in one of the lea

Chapter: Eighty OneFirst snow arrived over Lake Michigan on the evening of the winter solstice, turning the grounds of North Point into a silent wilderness of white and shadow. Heavy, lazy flakes drifted past the towering glass windows of the library, dusting the pine boughs and granite bluffs until the horizon dissolved into a seamless expanse of pearl and slate.Inside, the great stone fireplace crackled with a steady, roaring fire of seasoned oak, casting long, amber light across the high beam ceilings and dark leather armchairs.I sat curled sideways on the plush velvet sofa, my legs tucked beneath a heavy knit throw, reviewing the final annual report for the Westside Foundation. On the coffee table beside me sat a pair of reading glasses, a empty porcelain cup of chamomile tea, and the antique silver signet ring resting beside my platinum band—a quiet reminder of every milestone we had crossed to reach this room.The heavy timber door opened smoothly, and Matthias stepped inside.He had just c
