Amara Georgia Musk, the 20-year-old granddaughter of the powerful tycoon Elton Musk, has returned to T City after years of being hidden away overseas. Labeled as "the retard" by her own family and sent away to protect the Musk legacy, no one expected her return much less her claim to the empire her late parents left behind. Amara, the daughter of a renowned traditional doctor and a wealthy businessman, carries a secret strength beneath her quiet and misunderstood exterior.
But not everyone is pleased with her return.
Her cunning adopted uncle, and his ambitious family will do anything to stop her from taking back her rightful place even if it means ending her life. To them, Amara is nothing more than a brainless obstacle standing in the way of power and wealth.
Across the city, Zogo Walton, the ruthless 30-year-old CEO and infamous underworld mafia boss, is racing against time. His beloved mother is slowly dying from a rare, mysterious poison, and not even the best doctors can help her.

"Whoever can save his mother will be rewarded with unimaginable wealth."
When fate throws Amara and Zogo into each other's world, secrets begin to unravel. For Amara it is not who the world thinks she is.

Chapter: Chapter 90: Only For YouAfter a moment, Amara turned around to face him. Her expression was calm, but there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes.“Why are you here?” she asked gently. “It is still office hours. You have your own company to run, your own schedule to keep. Shouldn’t you be busy somewhere else right now?”Zogo only looked at her with that same quiet, steady gaze, a faint smile touching the corner of his lips. He stood up slowly from the chair and began to walk around the office, his eyes scanning every corner, every piece of furniture, and every document arranged neatly on the shelves. This was Don Victor’s office, the old man had not contacted him directly since he had gone into hiding in the countryside, but Zogo knew well enough that Victor called Amara almost every night, checking on her, guiding her, and making sure she was safe.Amara watched him walk around, and asked again, her tone a little more curious this time. “I thought you had important meetings lined up for today. Did you cancel

Chapter: Chapter 89: Plans and Quiet Moments“As for why it was kept hidden,” she continued, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, “what do you think would have happened if people found out that I…the one you all called a fool and confused, the granddaughter of Don Victor, had married Zogo Walton? It would have happened before I was even ready, before I had properly taken my place in this company. Every greedy person, every opportunist, every vulture would have come running not to help me, but to use this marriage to ask for favors, to demand shares, and to grab power. And you two would have been the first to twist this into something ugly, wouldn’t you?”Damian opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out at first. When he finally found his voice, it sounded rough and unsteady.“But… this is impossible! How could Father agree to something like this without asking the rest of the family? Without even telling us? It goes against all our traditions…”“Tradition?” Amara spoke softly, but there was a sharp edge to her words. “My g

Chapter: Chapter 88: The Alliance No One Saw ComingHusband?The word hung in the heavy silence like a thunderclap, sharp and deafening.Edgar and Damian froze in their seats as if struck by a bolt of lightning. Their eyes stretched wide, their jaws went slack, and for a long moment, neither of them could draw a proper breath. They stared first at Zogo Walton, their minds refusing to accept what they had just heard, then whipped their heads around so fast their necks ached, turning their full, disbelieving gaze toward Amara.Zogo Walton… Amara’s husband?How could this be possible? When had it happened? How could such a monumental event have taken place without a single whisper reaching their ears? For years, they had kept close watch over her movements, believing she lived a quiet, isolated life in the countryside, far removed from the high society and business circles of the capital. Meanwhile, Zogo Walton was a man who moved among the highest ranks of power, traveling across continents, building an empire that few could even approac

Chapter: Chapter 87: He Will Not Let Them Hurt HerZogo noticed every little detail: the faint blush spreading across Amara’s cheeks, the deep red that crept all the way to the tips of her ears, and the way she quickly lowered her head, burying herself behind the documents as if she could hide her fluster between the pages. To anyone else in the room, she might have looked perfectly calm and composed, but not to him. He saw it all clearly, and strangely enough, he found it utterly adorable.A soft, knowing smile touched his eyes, though he wisely chose not to say a word about it. He knew if he teased her now, she would only grow even more embarrassed, and he rather liked seeing this shy, unguarded side of her.Truthfully, Zogo did not fully understand himself either. Ever since the day they first met, something inside him had shifted, and a side of him he never even knew existed had begun to emerge freely and naturally, without any effort or pretense. With everyone else, he remained exactly the man the whole business world knew: cold,

Chapter: Chapter 86: The Husband They Never Knew ExistedZogo moved with a natural, effortless authority, his stride long and confident, as if this company, this room, and everything inside it already belonged to him. Behind him followed Brook and Finn, their expressions serious and alert, guarding his steps. Zogo did not stop or pause to greet anyone, nor did he acknowledge the stunned faces of the two older men seated at the table.He walked straight toward the head of the table, right to where Amara sat, and without hesitation, he pulled out the empty chair beside her and sat down right next to her, as if he had every right to be there.Edgar and Damian were frozen in their seats, their eyes wide with confusion, shock, and a sudden, rising fear.They knew Zogo Walton very well. For years, they had tried countless times to approach him, to invite him to events, to meetings, to dinners, hoping to build a connection with one of the most powerful, influential men in the country.

Chapter: Chapter 85: Zogo Walton’s Uninvited ArrivalAmara’s smile widened, cold and sharp, cutting through his excuses like a blade. She leaned back in the large CEO’s chair, looking at him as one would look at a child caught stealing candy: amused, disappointed, and entirely in control.“Is that so, Uncle?” she asked, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. “You told them I was unstable, unfit, and incapable… all because you were worried about my health? You whispered to them that I was too young, too naive, too confused… and you did that out of the goodness of your heart? Tell me… did you also mention to them how you visited every single director’s office one by one, long before this meeting? Did you tell them how you promised them higher positions, bigger shares, and full authority… if only they would stand against hand and me the company over to you?”Damian went completely still. His face drained of all color until he looked like a ghost.Edgar stiffened in his seat, his jaw tightening so hard the muscles stood out. His calm, ruthl

Kathalina Ruiz never believed in fairy tales. Her mother's dying wish bound her to enigmatic CEO Thirdie Stone in an arranged marriage she accepted out of duty, not romance. Yet somewhere between quiet nights and fragile smiles, Kathalina fell deeply for her distant husband only to keep her love locked away, too afraid it would never be returned.
For three years, their marriage balanced on politeness and silence. Then one stormy afternoon shattered it all. Kathalina walked into Thirdie's office and found another woman-half-naked-sitting on his lap. Without demanding an explanation, she signed the divorce papers he placed before her, his gaze as cold as the ink that sealed their separation. What she never knew was that Thirdie's betrayal was a lie... a desperate act to protect her from the dangerous threats circling his empire.
Heartbroken and grieving, Kathalina fled abroad. From the ashes of her pain, she rebuilt herself into a celebrated jewelry designer, admired for her elegance and independence. But fate had other plans. Years later, her mother's lawyer makes a revelation she has inherited a vast fortune and controlling shares in Stone Corporation. The life and the man she tried to escape are waiting for her return.
Back in the city where it all began, Kathalina comes face-to-face with Thirdie once more. Old wounds resurface, secrets linger in every shadow, and danger draws closer than ever.

Chapter: Chapter 123: Thirdie’s WrathHearing those insulting words speaking ill of Thirdie, twisting their relationship, and treating her as nothing more than a temporary toy was more than Kathalina could endure. Her face burned with anger and disgust.“Mr. Rome, it sounds far more like you are the one who treats women as disposable toys to be used and cast aside whenever you please,” she shot back sharply, her tone cold and cutting. “But my husband is nothing like that. And even if he were, that would be our private matter, certainly not something for others to meddle in or judge. That is enough! I have heard all I want to hear from you!”She snapped the words out clearly, then turned at once, ready to walk toward the exit and call security to have him removed from the restricted area immediately.But before she could take two steps, Jade lunged forward. He seized her wrist in a tight, painful grip, spun her around roughly, and shoved her back hard against the wall, trapping her there with his body.“Let go of me! Get y

You’re a successful woman now, a famous designer. You need powerful friends like us. Agnes might have her ways, but we are influential people. We can help you go even higher, you know. We can open doors for you that others can’t. Why act so proud? You were nothing once, just like the rest of us…..”“I was never nothing,” Kathalina interrupted fiercely, her voice rising slightly, her eyes blazing with anger. “And I certainly do not need help and friendship from people like you. Everything I have, I built with my own two hands, through hard work, suffering, and honesty. I do not need people who lie, cheat, and hurt others to succeed. I know exactly the kind of person you are, Jade Rome, and I want you to understand this clearly. I despise everything you stand for. I despise the way you tre

Thank you, thank you so much.”Kathalina smiled and nodded. “I will be heading back to Manila tomorrow morning, but as soon as I settle in and arrange everything at the office, I will call you immediately. We will set the date for your contract signing and go over your schedule, both as my assistant and as our exclusive model.”Hana nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement.“Yes, Miss! Actually, I’ll be coming back tomorrow morning as well. I have to return with the other models including Miss Xyla. We belong to the same agency, so we’re traveling together this time. She’s such a nice girl and really easy to approach. Even though she’s an international model, she’s so down to earth.”Hana admired Xyla deeply.

Chapter: Chapter 120: The Gift of Opportunity“What kind of work can I actually do for you? I don’t know anything about fashion design. All I really know how to do is wear clothes and walk down a runway. I’m afraid I might not be capable enough, and I don’t want to disappoint you or let you down.”Kathalina smiled gently and shook her head. “That is perfectly all right. Everyone starts somewhere, and no one is born knowing how to do everything. You learn as you go.”She leaned forward slightly, her expression open and encouraging.“Tell me something… What other skills or talents do you have? And what is your educational background? Don’t be afraid to be honest; I won’t judge you. I only want to understand you better.”At this, Hana’s face fell completely, sadness washing over her features. She looked away, her voice dropping to a whisper. “I… I only finished high school. I grew up in an orphanage. I never knew my parents.

Even though there was such a vast difference in their social standing and circumstances, she felt surprisingly at ease and comfortable in her presence. There was a gentle warmth and quiet reassurance in Kathalina’s manner that felt rare and genuine, making Hana feel safe enough to set aside her usual reserve and speak from the heart. “To be honest…” she began softly, her voice trembling slightly with hesitation and vulnerability, “my manager told me earlier that they will only call me if there is new work available.” She lowered her gaze, staring at the floor as a shadow of sadness crossed her face. “But I have no idea when that will be. It could be next week, or next month… or perhaps it might never come at all.”She knew all too well how harsh and competitive the modeling industry was.

Lyra is the anonymous founder of GALAXY, a covert hacker syndicate responsible for dismantling criminal empires from behind glowing screens.

Chapter: Chapter 80: The Real Game Begins“What do we do now, Liam? If Lyra has the real ring… what does she plan to do next?”Beatrice was growing more frantic by the second. The thought turned in her mind: If Lyra had the ring, that woman would surely be celebrating but if it turned out the ring was gone and she had nothing to show for it, Richard would never forgive her. He would be furious, and the punishment would be far worse than any loss of money.Her voice rose, shaking with fear.“It’s not just about the money anymore! If Richard finds out we lost the ring and sold a fake, he will blame me completely. He warned me not to touch it and now it’s gone. He won’t care about excuses he will make me pay for this, one way or another!”Liam stopped walking, his back rigid, and looked down the long corridor toward the far end of the ship. A cold, bitter smile touched his lips, though it held no warmth. He turned his gaze to Beatrice, his eyes sharp and cruel. He wanted nothing more than to snap at her right now, but he held bac

Chapter: Chapter 79: The Deception UncoveredBeatrice gasped, stumbling back a step as if she had been struck. “What? That’s impossible! I kept it locked inside my personal safe for years! I took it out myself and handed it directly to the staff to prepare for the auction. How could it not be real?”Even she could barely believe it herself. She knew how tight the security on this ship was; guards were posted at every corridor, every entrance, and every deck, with surveillance cameras watching almost every corner. There was no way anyone could have gotten close enough to swap it without being seen… or so she had thought.“How could this have happened?” she whispered, her voice shaking with fear and disbelief. “Security here is so tight that there are guards everywhere and checks at every door. Who would dare do this? And how did they do it without anyone noticing?”Liam stared at the ring resting in his palm. It looked beautiful and flawless to anyone else’s eyes, but he knew it was nothing more than an expertly made copy. Beatri

He had known Liam for many years, ever since Liam began expanding his business interests overseas; their paths had crossed often enough to make them familiar acquaintances. Yet they had never been close friends, and Mr. Daley could not understand what could bring Liam to his private suite at this late hour, especially accompanied by a woman he did not recognize.“May I help you, Mr. Liam?” he asked calmly, his tone courteous but carrying a subtle edge of caution. “And who is the lady standing behind you? I believe we have not been formally introduced.”Liam offered a thin, practiced smile, the kind he used for business meetings, warm enough to put others at ease but revealing nothing of his true thoughts. Beneath that surface, however, his eyes remained cold, sharp, and searching, scanning the room as if already looking for something out of place.“Mr. Daley, it has indeed been a while,” he repl

Ever since Laurin died, all her things had been kept safe inside the Moreno family home: her clothes, her books, her jewelry. Beatrice herself had taken possession of that ring years ago, hiding it away in her private safe. She had admired it countless times, even tried wearing it once, but Richard had caught her and flown into a terrifying rage. He had slapped her so hard she nearly fell, his eyes blazing with anger as he shouted. “Don’t ever touch anything that belonged to Laurin!” Since then, the ring had been hidden away.
