A Kingdom of two kings
In the shining skyscrapers of Manhattan’s multi-million dollar executive suites, two rulers dominate the entertainment industry yet not without conflict, cleverness, and fierce allure.
Ace Rotherwell, merciless CEO and media tycoon, does not offer apologies, express emotions, or provide second chances. Particularly not for Noah Sinclair, the fugitive heir transformed into a pop culture figure who disappeared after their hidden relationship nearly set the company and their emotions ablaze.
Now, Noah has returned… fiercer, more daring, and prepared to take back what he left behind: his legacy, his influence and possibly, Ace.
Plunged into a chaotic office setup devised by PR, the duo must “co-lead” Sinclair Studios to salvage its deteriorating reputation. However, boardroom gatherings transform into sharp exchanges, late-night planning discussions evolve into playful confrontations, and every exchange of looks sizzles with mounting tension.
One possesses a crown forged from dominance.
The other dons celebrity as protection.
Beneath the opulence and joy, there exists a past too complex to dismiss… and a connection too volatile to withstand.
Amidst plotting aides, viral controversies, and old scars that remain fresh, Ace and Noah need to determine:
Will they battle for their realm united
…or allow it to disintegrate once more?

The person accountable for it was a mess hair hidden under a hoodie, sunglasses on, and his lips tightly pressed."Did you catch it?"

Yet within the CEO's exclusive suite, authority was rapidly diminishing.Ace walked back and forth, his silk shirt partially undone, his body still humming from their intense confrontation. The atmosphere was thick with desire, aspiration, and past injuries. He could still sense Julian's lips on his neck, that sting of vengeance hidden as longing.He gazed at the bar cart situated in the corner. Whisky? Tequila?

Chapter: Chapter 3.Paper Cuts and Authority ConflictsThe office atmosphere was thick with tension and not the kind of that which HR could fix.Ace Rotherwell stamps himself against the shaded window of the executive suite, his teeth clenched and his stance stiffed, as if he would rather remove Noah than work alongside him. The city skyline stormed in the distance, but his eyes were restless."You changed the direction of the campaign without my own permission," he said, his voice was soft and heart taken.Noah, reclining on the leather sofa as though it was his own, grinned while consuming a grape. "Revised: I improved it." The original suggestion was duller than your dating adventures.“But that's the truth,” Noah replied softly, his voice shaking with a remix of guilt and shame. "I intended to despise you." I attempted, God. “Yet I felt your absence in each city, each bed, every promotional tour.”Ace’s lips lingered above his, near enough to savor the recollection. “Then why on earth did you return?”Noah's fingers wrapped around Ac

Chapter: Chapter 1. Return of the king 8:17 a.m. — Sinclair Empire Headquarters, Manhattan Ace Rotherwell faced the floor-to-ceiling mirror in his corner office on the 82nd floor, with the city extending behind him like a quiet army under his control. He wasn’t appreciating his own appearance Ace avoided vanity. He performed accuracy. Tom Ford suit in black tailored style. Navy silk tie tied with flawless military precision. Jawline sharp enough to slice through glass. Expression? Empty as a signed NDA. He viewed his wristwatch. The town meeting began in 13 minutes. Sufficient time to get ready for the corporate spectacle... and for the specter from his history. Noah Sinclair had returned. And not merely "returned to town" returned to his firm, returned to his office, returned to his existence. Ace's fingers tensed on the armrest of his seat. Two weeks prior, he had noticed the headlines: "Runaway Heir Comes Back to Sinclair Studios." "Is the Empire on the Verge of Reawakening?" Public relations maneuvering. Sound.
