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: The President's DownfallAmber POV My phone vibrated again. Another message from Jason. The secretary warned me that military personnel were being sent after us. I swallowed. Did you tell him they're already outside the castle? Yes. Did you tell him we're out? No. I smiled despite myself. My husband. Always thinking ahead. Good. Jason continued. He doesn't know how many officers are still obeying the president. Some commanders have refused his orders, but others are following them without questioning their legality. I showed Emory the message. He read it carefully. "That's what I was afraid of." "What?" "If the military is divided, the president could try to consolidate control before anyone organizes an effective response." I considered that. "And if he succeeds?" "Then the situation becomes much more dangerous." I looked at the monitors again. One of the soldiers was standing near the main gate, looking toward the castle. I turned on the lights in the western hallway. He appeared t

Chapter: A Dangerous GameAmber POV The soldiers were still surrounding the castle. They had been there for more than half an hour, and as far as I could tell, they had accomplished absolutely nothing. No demands, no attempts to enter, not even a polite knock at the gate. I supposed that when you arrived with an entire military unit, knocking was considered optional. I looked down at Jason's message again. We're out. Everyone is safe. Those words had brought me more relief than I could describe. For several minutes after receiving them, I had been able to breathe normally again. But relief was not the same as peace. My family had escaped the castle, yet they were still in Sum Country, making their way toward a boat that would hopefully take them beyond the president's reach. Until they crossed that border, I wouldn't feel safe. I wanted to call Jason. I wanted to hear Alice's voice, ask Alex whether he was behaving himself, and make sure Rose was managing with the twins. More than anything, I wanted

Chapter: A Mother's FuryAmber POV I stared at the wall. Then I laughed. Not because it was funny. Because the accusation was so absurd that I genuinely didn't know how else to react. "Terrorism?" "Yes." "Me?" "Unfortunately." I rubbed my forehead. "Christian, I've spent the last several hours trying not to get murdered. When exactly was I supposed to find the time to become a terrorist?" "I imagine the president isn't particularly concerned with the details." "Clearly." Christian sighed. "The situation is more serious than you realize. According to my sources, the president has been issuing orders directly to military units, bypassing the usual channels. Some officers are cooperating with him." My amusement vanished. "Christian, there are soldiers surrounding my family's castle." Silence. "What?" "Military vehicles. Armed personnel. They've blocked the roads, and nobody has contacted Jason to explain why they're there." "Are you certain?" "My daughter just recorded them." I could hear m

Chapter: SurroundedAmber POVI stared at my phone for several seconds after Jasmine ended the call.An entire military force was surrounding the castle.My husband, our children, and Jason's grandparents were trapped inside, and I was sitting in a military facility miles away, unable to do anything about it.For a moment, I couldn't move.I wanted to be there. I wanted to hold my children, to see for myself that they were all right, to stand beside Jason and help him get everyone to safety. Instead, I was staring at a phone, waiting for someone else to tell me what was happening to my own family.I hated it.I hated being so far away. I hated not knowing whether the soldiers would decide to storm the castle before Jason could get everyone out. Most of all, I hated the man responsible for putting them in danger.The president had gone too far.Whatever disagreement he had with us, whatever political ambitions or personal grievances he was trying to satisfy, there was absolutely no justification for send

Chapter: SurroundedAmber POVFor several seconds, nobody said a word.The soldiers around me were still staring at my phone, apparently trying to process the fact that my six-year-old son had casually announced he knew where one of the country's most wanted men was hiding.Emory looked as though he had a thousand questions.So did I.Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to ask any of them.A door slammed open on the other side of the video call.I flinched."Jason!"Jasmine's voice rang through the speakers, sharp and urgent.She appeared behind him, moving so quickly that I barely had time to register her expression before she leaned down and whispered something into his ear.Whatever she said made Jason's face change instantly.The surprise disappeared.His jaw tightened, and his eyes turned cold."Now?" he asked.Jasmine nodded."Now."That was all it took.Jason straightened, scooping Alex into one arm and Alice into the other."Daddy?" Alice squeaked, startled by the sudden movement."Hold on to

Chapter: The Children's TabletsAmber POVOne of the soldiers standing near Emory muttered something under his breath."Must be nice to have money. Even the kids get to learn ridiculously expensive shit."Unfortunately for him, Alex heard every word.He tilted his head, studying the soldier with the same serious expression he usually wore when someone said something that didn't make sense to him."Learning things is more expensive when you're an adult," he explained matter-of-factly. "Adults don't have as much time to learn because they have to work, and their time costs money. Children have more time, so it's better to learn things when you're little."The soldier blinked.I stared at the screen.Well.He wasn't exactly wrong.But hearing a six-year-old explain the economics of education as though he were discussing the weather was rather disturbing.Especially when he sounded like a miniature businessman evaluating the profitability of childhood.I opened my mouth, then closed it again.What was I even supposed to

Chapter: 14- The Grand CollapseThe entire crowd turned instantly, moving en masse toward the source of the noise. Noah wrapped a strong arm firmly around my waist to keep me close, his grip possessive and steady. Together, we walked side-by-side toward the commotion.Recognizing the hallway layout on my watch, my eyes narrowed. The crowd was converging right outside Room 402—the exact suite where I was supposed to be lying unconscious.Sofia’s shrill voice cut over the murmurs of the gathering crowd. "Jasmine! Oh, God, Jasmine! Think of your fiancé! Think of the family name! You have to take responsibility for this!"Noah and I stepped up to the front line of onlookers just as Sofia finished her dramatic, rehearsed outburst. I looked past her and into the open doorway, answering her in a calm, crisp voice that carried effortlessly over the whispers."Well, yes, Sofia, I do have a fiancé," I said smoothly. "I've been out on the balcony with Noah this entire time. What happened? Is everything alright?"Madam Marsh ar

Chapter: 13- In Plain SightNoah stood before me on the secluded balcony, his forehead glistening with a fine sheen of cold sweat. His pupils were blown wide, his breathing shallow and erratic, a dark, turbulent storm brewing behind his uncharacteristically unfocused eyes.I still had Nathan's auto-injector nestled safely inside the hidden lining of my clutch, primed with a second dose of counter-agent. Yet my hands froze. Blind-injecting a high-grade neutralizing compound without identifying the precise chemical compound coursing through his bloodstream was a tactical risk I couldn't take; an adverse drug interaction could induce immediate autonomic shock.I was still reeling from the sheer impossibility of his presence—here, miles away from the strict isolation of his training base—when Noah closed the distance. His arms wrapped around me with crushing force, locking around my waist like heated iron bands as his forehead dropped heavily against the curve of my neck.My heart hammered violently against my ribs.

Chapter: 12- Playing the GameI had been drugged.Thank God Nathan had anticipated every dirt-slicked play in their book and handed me the counter-agent before I even set foot in this place. I didn't lose a second. Reaching into the discreet, reinforced seam of my dress, I injected the neutralizing compound as smoothly and imperceptibly as humanly possible.Still, I had to play the part. I let my shoulders sag a fraction and allowed my eyelids to droop, projecting the subtle, heavy exhaustion of someone fighting a sudden wave of fatigue. I didn't know the exact timeframe for the counter-agent to completely clear the toxin, so keeping up the dazed facade was my only leverage.I turned toward Madam Marsh, keeping my voice soft and slightly slurred. "I'm going to step away to the ladies' room for a moment."My head was spinning—half from the remaining chemical residual, half from the sheer concentration required not to let my footing slip or ruin my posture in front of the surrounding vultures.As I moved away, my fi

Chapter: 11- Tailored for WarThis was not the first time I had seen Alexander behave this way, and my brain automatically dragged me back to the last time he had escorted me to buy a dress. Trauma made my mouth work well before my logic could catch up."Alexander? I already have a dress. There's really no need to go with me."Victor and Francis were chuckling behind their hands; Nathan just gave me a look of pure, unadulterated pity.Alexander simply arched an eyebrow, his jaw set in that unyielding, commanding line he used when he was in full tactical-commander mode. "Take it as punishment for not telling me you bought a house, missy. Is that where the returns from your investments went? Which company paid out?"I opened my mouth to answer, but he held up a single, flat palm, his eyes widening. "Nope. Not happening. We are going shopping right now. You too, Sterling. You're with us."Sebastian and I didn't stand a chance. Alexander clamped a hand over each of our shoulders, steering us through the front door lik

Chapter: Tactical Counter-StrikeI had to force a long, deep breath into my lungs, locking the panic away to concentrate on the immediate threat right in front of me. The temperature in the living room seemed to drop five degrees as Alexander stood up straight, brushing off the mantle. The relaxed demeanor he usually wore around us vanished instantly, replaced by the sharp, formidable presence of a man born into the highest echelons of old-money aristocracy. Sebastian’s eyes tracked Alexander’s movement, widening in sudden, total shock. Taking in Alexander’s refined posture, icy composure, and the unmistakable air of command, Sebastian’s jaw practically slackened. "You're... Alexander Stratton," Sebastian breathed, his voice dropping into stunned, reverent awe. "The middle Stratton son..." He blinked rapidly, looking back and forth between Alexander and me, his mind clearly struggling to stitch the reality together. "You... you live here? With Jasmine?"

Chapter: The Marsh EmpireBefore the icy dread in my stomach could take root, the sharp, throat-rumbling purr of a custom dual-exhaust engine vibrated through the porch steps. A matte-black military transport truck pulled onto the gravel, parking directly behind Sebastian’s vehicle.Even through the morning fog and heavy tension, my eyes briefly darted past the massive transport to Sebastian's car.It was a sleek, crimson-red Mazda MX-5 Miata convertible—compact, low-profile, and impeccably styled. It was the exact kind of high-response, light-chassis roadster I had admired for years, and a tiny part of my vehicle-loving brain fell in love with it at first glance.The reinforced doors of the military transport slammed open, shattering my brief distraction. Two tall, muscular figures stepped out into the crisp air, hefting tactical duffel bags over their shoulders.Alexander and Francis had finally come home.They took one look at the scene—Sebastian trembling against the side of his Miata, Victor with his hand

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.

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

"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.

They were attacking the space surrounding it. Mutants clawed against the barriers while creatures I had never seen before threw t

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
