LOGIN"Sign it, and you'll get the protection you need. But remember, to the world, we are strangers." In her past life, Liora was the neglected daughter who died in a staged accident, orchestrated by her stepmother and the man she thought she loved. Reborn on the night of her tragedy, she realizes that the only person who can help her crush her enemies is the 'Devil of the City' Mavric Thorne. A cold-blooded billionaire who is rumored to hate women. It was supposed to be a business deal. A marriage of convenience hidden behind closed doors. But why does the man who 'hates women' keep pinning her against the wall, whispering that he’ll never let her go? When the world mocks Liora for being a "poor, abandoned orphan," they have no idea that the most powerful man in the country is currently at home, kneeling to put her slippers on.
View MoreThe Final Harbour New York’s dawn had spilled fully across the Long Island horizon, bursting with brilliant, unfiltered light. Warm morning sunlight streamed in unobstructed through the tall, floor‑to‑ceiling glass walls. It cast a massive, golden shimmer over the surface of the sea, which lay completely calm now, its waters still and ripple‑free. The remnants of the mechanical storms, the chaos of corporate warfare, and the sabotage at the harbour inlet last night were now officially nothing more than a clean page in their history. Inside the private suite, once again wrapped in absolute peace and rigid luxury, the strong cries of their newborn son slowly softened into a small, utterly contented murmur, held safe within his parents’ arms. This final, total purification has been accomplished perfectly leaving not a single legal loophole or space for survival for our enemies. Liora Thorne leaned back with effortless grace against the stack of soft wool pillows on the mas
Dawn of a New DynastyThe pulsing yellow lights on the cyber wall panels slowly faded into total darkness, replacing the cross‑continental digital tension with a heavy, rigid silence as dawn began to break.Beyond the massive glass walls overlooking Long Island, the morning sun spilled brilliantly across the eastern horizon, sweeping away the last traces of the storm that had raged fiercely through the night and battered the coastline.Yet, inside the villa’s private sanctuary, the atmosphere shifted abruptly into something far more gripping a rhythm entirely different, and far more heart‑pounding.This sharp, searing pain could not have chosen a worse moment, Liora Thorne thought, her fingers clutching tightly at the sleeve of Mavric’s sturdy linen shirt. Beads of cold sweat began to gather at her temples, her face turning deathly pale. Every past trauma, every ounce of physical exhaustion, and the relentless strain of managing capital conspiracies all night long have combined to t
The Sole Authority of Wall StreetThe yellow indicator lights along the cyber control panels lining the private chamber walls flashed with an increasingly rapid rhythm.Transmitting rigid emergency signals that warned of a high‑level bureaucratic intervention penetrating the company’s legal defenses.Beyond the large glass windows, the dawn of New York began to spread faintly across the Long Island horizon, casting a cold, silvery‑grey reflection upon the ocean surface waters only now starting to settle after the fury of the previous night’s storm.They planted a bureaucratic bomb right within our own domestic legal system. Liora Thorne thought, her grip tightening around the edge of her military‑grade tablet until the veins on her wrist stood taut and visible. Using the influence of Manhattan’s chief justice to sign an order for a total asset freeze is a rigid, swift, and highly structured legal maneuver. Marcus’s old faction knows full well they have already been defeated physica
Counterstrike Across Two ContinentsThe stock market graphs on the large monitor screen in the corner of the private chamber kept flashing bright red. Market capitalization index figures plummeted sharply within seconds, sending very real financial panic flowing all the way from the Asian hemisphere to the eastern shores of Long Island.Liora Thorne stood tall at the center of the room. Her beautiful eyes tracked the movement of those shadow capital flows with cold, precise calculation.You think vast wealth can bend the rules of our customs laws, Liora thought, drawing a long breath and suppressing the tightness that began pressing against her chest from physical exhaustion. Attacking our subsidiaries on the Asian exchange before dawn even breaks in New York is the most foolish misstep you could have made. You have deliberately exposed the identities of every shell account you have hidden under federal surveillance radar all these years. The child growing inside me has given me
Breaking Through BoundariesThe mechanical wail of the alarm from the lower harbor cut through the silence over Long Island. The sound rose to a shrill pitch, shattering the rhythm of the crashing waves growing increasingly wild offshore. Mavric Thorne moved swiftly toward the foot of the bed, his
Execution of Physical Takeover of the Upstream Plant and Expulsion of Regional Division Heads from the Competing FactionThe atmosphere at the upstream textile manufacturing complex on the outskirts of London had been rigid, tense, and heavy with pressure ever since dawn broke. Several tactical ve

Storm Behind the Silk CurtainDawn broke over Valerius Island in breathtaking shades of violet and gold, yet this natural calm was nowhere to be found inside the operational command centre in the east wing of the main villa.
