A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother
Amber built an empire she was never allowed to claim.
Brilliant, strategic, and fiercely loyal, Amber was the mind behind a billion-dollar real estate empire—the woman who identified undervalued properties, structured acquisitions, and designed expansion projects that reshaped skylines. But when betrayal strikes, she’s fired, humiliated, and discarded by the man she helped rise to the top.
She walks away with nothing but her intelligence, her dignity… and the projects that were always hers.
What her ex-fiancé never expects is his powerful half-brother.
A billionaire real estate magnate in his own right, controlled, private, and raising two adopted children on his own, he offers Amber something unexpected: a contractual marriage. No romance. No lies. Just mutual benefit. A public wife to stabilize his corporate image—and a strategic partner who understands the business better than anyone.
Amber accepts.
She takes her real estate projects with her—developments she sourced, designed, and negotiated from the ground up—and brings them into her new husband’s company. Entire portfolios shift overnight. Investments follow her. For the first time, her name is on the contracts, her voice dominates boardrooms, and her success is undeniable.
As Amber rises, the real estate empire she once built in silence begins to crumble. Deals collapse without her leadership. Bad investments surface. And the company her ex-fiancé claimed as his own crashes spectacularly—while Amber thrives, wealthier and more powerful than ever.
But what begins as a business arrangement slowly becomes something far more dangerous.
Because power is intoxicating. Trust is fragile. And love was never part of the contract.

Chapter: A Pretty FlowerJason POVApparently, Jasmine had run out of patience.I should have expected it. Leaving an eighteen-year-old who had recently been shot outside a suspicious hotel room with nothing to do except listen to other people talk had probably been optimistic from the beginning. Noah had been keeping me updated, and for several hours they had done exactly what Mr. Stait wanted: observe, listen, collect information and avoid confrontation.Then my phone vibrated.The message was from Jasmine.Don't yell.I stared at those two words and immediately knew I was going to yell.Another message arrived before I could respond.I found something.There was a photograph attached beneath it.At first, I didn't understand what I was looking at. It was a hotel room photographed from an angle that suggested Jasmine had taken the picture quickly. Part of the bed was visible, along with several bottles, discarded glasses and the kind of mess I expected from a room occupied by men who had apparently spent ho

Chapter: The Third ToxinJason POVPamela and Marcus arrived several hours later with Clara and the baby.They didn't come to the hospital. Mr. Stait had already decided that bringing Clara anywhere near Amber's room would be an unnecessary risk. Instead, they went directly to the castle, where security could control every entrance and Clara could disappear behind walls that had protected my family for generations.Marcus called long enough to tell us they'd arrived safely."She's exhausted," he said. "The baby slept most of the drive, thankfully. Mrs.Sun is having rooms prepared for them now.""How is Clara?""Scared. Trying not to show it."I understood that better than I wanted to."Has she heard from Adrian?""No."That single word carried more weight than anything else he could have said."Stay with her.""We will."I ended the call and looked toward Amber.Emory had been in and out of her room constantly since her condition turned critical. She hadn't deteriorated further, which everyone insisted was go

Chapter: The Asher Family Is DoneJason POVHours later, my phone rang. The second I saw Marcus's name on the screen, I answered and put him on speaker so Mr. Asher and Mr. Stait could hear. "Do you have them?""Yes. Clara and the baby are with us. We just left the building."Mr. Asher exhaled beside me, some of the tension finally leaving his face. It didn't last. I heard Pamela say something sharply in the background, too low for me to understand, and Marcus suddenly went quiet."What?" I demanded, already knowing from the change in his silence that something was wrong."Our rear team just contacted us," Marcus said. Mr. Stait immediately moved closer to the phone as Marcus continued. "Several men entered Clara and Adrian's building right after we pulled away.""How many?" Mr. Stait asked."At least six. Dark clothing, faces covered."The room fell silent. Mr. Asher pushed himself to his feet while Mr. Stait's expression hardened, his attention completely focused on the call."How long after they left?" Mr. Asher de

Chapter: 3 DaysJason POVAmber's numbers had finally stopped falling, but nobody was willing to use the word stable again.Neither was I.Emory remained with the critical-care team, working through every result as it came in while I sat beside Amber's bed with my hand wrapped around hers. Her condition was still critical, and every few minutes my eyes moved automatically from her face to the monitors, as if I could somehow keep the numbers where they belonged simply by watching them.Mr. Asher hadn't left either. His phone had barely stopped ringing since he'd discovered that his sister had contacted relatives to announce that her branch no longer wanted to be considered part of the Asher family.We already knew Adrian was missing, nobody could reach him. His phone wasn't connecting, he hadn't responded to company communications, and no one could establish his current location. Mr. Stait's people were already tracing his movements.The problem was Clara.We had tried calling her repeatedly, but she

Chapter: Slipping through my fingersJason POVMr. Asher lasted less than five minutes after Mr. Stait finished speaking about Jasmine before deciding he was done waiting."If members of my family are involved, I want to know which ones."Mr. Stait looked up from his phone. "My people are already investigating.""And they'll continue investigating," Mr. Asher replied. "But they're investigating a criminal conspiracy. I'm investigating my family."There was enough difference between those two things that Mr. Stait didn't argue.Mr. Asher stepped into the hallway with his phone already in his hand. I stayed beside Amber, listening to his voice through the partially open door as he started making calls. He didn't begin with accusations. He asked questions about family gatherings, recent conversations, Adrian's relatives and anyone who had suddenly changed plans after Amber was hospitalized.It didn't take long before the answers became strange.Mr. Asher returned almost half an hour later, looking older than he had when he

Chapter: The ones who raised herJason POVwhen Mr. Stait checked his phone again, I finally understood the expression on his face.I'd seen it before.Not on him.On myself.It was the same sick mixture of anger and fear I'd felt when Amber collapsed. The same helpless fury I'd felt when the doctors took her through doors I couldn't follow her through. It wasn't irritation because Jasmine had ignored orders. It wasn't even the anger of a commander whose injured soldier had disappeared during an active investigation.It was personal.I thought back to the waiting room when Iris had handed me Jasmine's letter. Mr. Stait hadn't reacted like a superior discovering that one of his people had gone off mission. He'd immediately started pulling cameras, tracing routes and issuing orders with a kind of controlled urgency I recognized now because I'd spent the last several hours feeling it myself.He'd been scared.Noah had just told me Jasmine was safe, yet Mr. Stait was still checking his phone as though he needed constant

Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King
“I built his empire with my blood and my money. He rewarded me by taking my cousin to our bed.”
For years, I was the invisible Alpha of the Sandwell Pack. While Maxwell claimed his "duties" kept him from me, I was the one balancing the ledgers, securing the borders, and investing my private millions to turn his dying territory into a gold mine.
On my 18th birthday, I finally found out what those "duties" were.
I found my fated mate, Maxwell, in the arms of my cousin, Amelie. they mocked me for being a "useful fool," an unpaid servant who funded their luxury while they shared a bed.
When I exposed their lies to the Pack, they didn’t offer me justice. They chose Amelie’s fake tears and exiled me on the spot.
I didn't steal a cent of their wealth—I left the accounts exactly as I found them: pathetic and empty.
Five years later, the girl they threw away is the woman who owns the world.
A royal decree from the Dragon King forces all Alphas into the elite Alpha Academy. I return not as a victim, but as a billionaire mogul. Maxwell is there, too—not to beg for my forgiveness, but to hunt me down. He’s humiliated, bankrupt, and determined to make me pay for exposing his "perfect" reputation to the world.
But I’m not the defenseless girl he remembers, and I’m not alone. I’ve caught the eye of Sol, the Dragon Prince, a man who finds my power intoxicating.
Maxwell wants my blood for the lies I uncovered. The pack wants my fortune to save their skins. But the Dragon Prince? He’s ready to burn anyone who dares to touch his Queen.

Chapter: Belong to the voidAella POV.Something changed in his expression."Sol."My husband glanced toward him. "What?"Chaos stared at the blood before looking at Elias. "I need yours."Sol didn't hesitate.That surprised me more than it probably should have. Apparently, being married to me had permanently destroyed his sense of self-preservation."How much?" Sol asked.Chaos smiled. "Not much."Sol extended his hand, but I grabbed his wrist. "Could someone explain before we start exchanging blood during a battle?"Order's eyes widened slightly.He understood."Binding."Chaos nodded. "Elias knows the Void. He knows its pathways, its weaknesses, its old laws. He spent centuries learning how my power worked."His gaze shifted toward Sol. "But he doesn't know Sol."Elias's expression changed.Barely.But I saw it.Chaos did too.His smile widened. "Oh."Elias attacked.Order intercepted him before he reached us, their powers colliding violently across the cavern."Now would be excellent!" Order shouted.Sol dra

Chapter: BalanceAella POVThe portal opened directly into the heart of the Void, and I stepped through first, expecting to find another army waiting for us. Sol came immediately behind me, followed by Chaos, Order, and Hunter, but the cavern was empty. At least, it looked empty.The lake was perfectly still. The glowing stone at its center pulsed steadily, brighter than when Althea had first brought me here, and every beat sent silver light across the cavern walls. Nothing stood between us and the core. There were no mutants, no shadows, no signs that anyone had entered.Chaos frowned as he studied the cavern. "He isn't here."Order's amber eyes swept across the chamber. "Nothing has breached this place.""But we felt something," I said, staring at the core."We felt him searching for it," Chaos corrected quietly.Sol went still beside me, and I understood at the same moment he did. "Another distraction."Hunter cursed, and I spun toward the portal, but it collapsed before I could reach it. The entir

Chaos came through first, Order immediately behind him, followed by Sol and me with Riot in his arms and Althea against my chest.And then Xander appeared beside us.I stared at my son as the tiny portal behind him closed. "How— Xander!"He smiled at me, completely pleased with himself. Apparently, my infant son had decided that being left somewhere safe was merely a suggestion now that he knew how to create portals.I didn't have time to deal with it.The Academy was under attack.The beautiful island we had spent weeks transforming into a home for the students was surrounded by darkness. The Sanctuary's sky had changed. The beautiful streams of magic that normally danced through the air were colliding violently with waves of black energy.Monsters were everywhere.They weren't inside the Academy. Not yet. They were attacking the space surrounding it. Mutants clawed against the barriers while creatures I had never seen before threw t

Chapter: BrothersAella POVBrothers.Order and Chaos were brothers.I stared between them as that single piece of information rearranged nearly everything I knew about both men."Brothers," I repeated.Chaos glanced at me."Yes."I pointed between him and the enormous golden statue that apparently contained his brother."That explains so much."Sol nodded beside me."An uncomfortable amount, actually."Chaos looked offended."I don't know what that's supposed to mean."The entire underground Academy trembled again before Sol could answer.The golden statue began to glow.Riot, still perched proudly on its shoulder, squealed."Riot!"Sol immediately reached for our son.This time, thankfully, Riot allowed himself to be removed.The moment Sol had him safely against his chest, the golden statue changed.It shrank.Slowly at first.The massive structure contracted as streams of golden light spiraled around it.Twenty feet.Fifteen.Ten.Five.Until there was no statue anymore.There was a man.He stepped

Chapter: The Other HalfAella POVApparently, we were going downstairs again.Only this time, Althea wasn't the only child determined to come with us.The moment I picked her up, she reached for Riot.Not Xander.Riot.At first, I thought she simply wanted her brother.That wasn't unusual. The three of them were almost always together.But when Sol tried to take Riot back to the nursery, Althea grabbed his little hand with both of hers and refused to let go."Althea," I said gently. "Riot can stay upstairs."She glared at me.Actually glared.Riot, completely unaware that he was apparently essential to whatever ancient mystery awaited us, laughed and tried to grab his sister's hair.Chaos crouched in front of them."Little Queen, does Riot need to come?"Althea nodded.Immediately.Sol sighed."Of course he does."He picked Riot up."I don't suppose you'd like to tell us why?"Althea stared at him.Sol stared back.Nothing."Wonderful conversation."Chaos laughed.So our strange little expedition consisted o
