LOGINBillionaire Adrian Calloway had everything—power, success, and a woman he loved. But when Elena Carter, the only woman he ever trusted, seemingly betrayed him, his world shattered. Now, years later, he returns with a plan: force her into a contract job, make her pay for her sins, and then cast her aside. But as he tightens his grip, cracks appear in his revenge plot. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers a sinister truth—Elena never betrayed him. The real culprit? His best friend, Lucas Bennett, who forged evidence to keep them apart. Fueled by guilt, passion, and unresolved emotions, Adrian finds himself at a crossroads with more frenemies unveiling. Will he seek redemption or lose the only woman who ever truly loved him?
View MoreThe sky was painted in strokes of gold and rose, the sun melting into the horizon like a slow exhale after a long, storied breath. Waves rolled onto the beach with a rhythm both ancient and tender, brushing over the shore as if to say, You made it. You’re still here.Adrain sat on a weathered wooden bench, his feet bare in the cool sand, the wind tugging lightly at the hem of his linen shirt. Beside him, Elena leaned against his shoulder, her hand nestled comfortably in his, the warmth between their palms long familiar.At her feet, little Aria crouched, humming softly as she arranged seashells in a winding spiral pattern. The tide inched closer, but she remained focused, brow furrowed, lips parted in quiet concentration.The sun hadn’t just set.It had descended like a curtain at the end of a long play—a story filled with fire and betrayal, loss and healing, collapse and rise. And now, here they were. Whole. Unshaken. At peace.Adrain glanced down at Elena.Her eyes were on the horiz
It started with one envelope.A sleek, cream-colored invitation from a global business ethics council, embossed with gold lettering and sealed in a red wax stamp. Elena opened it while Adrain sat across the table, feeding tiny spoonfuls of pear puree to Aria, who was much more interested in flinging the spoon onto the floor.She read it aloud, her voice soft and filled with wonder.“They want to honor you. A lifetime award for ethical leadership—‘for shaping the culture of global enterprise by proving that kindness, clarity, and conscience can lead empires just as well as dominance ever did.’”Adrain looked up, blinking. He reached across the table and took the card gently from her hands, reading it again for himself, as if seeing his own name among those words would make it feel real.“Isn’t that… something?” he murmured.Elena smiled. “It’s only the beginning.”She was right.Within weeks, more letters arrived.Invitations. Honors. Requests to speak. From New York to Nairobi, Seoul
It was a crisp Monday morning when Adrain stepped in front of a podium again—not to pitch, not to defend, not to lead a merger or face down a hostile board. This time, he had only one intention: to open a door.The announcement had been teased quietly the week before. A soft ripple across social feeds and newsletters:“Adrain will speak live at 10:00 a.m.—an invitation, not a comeback.”There was no need for glitz. No PR campaign. No countdown graphics or buzzwords. Just a simple, black-and-white headline.Adrain will be airing live at 10:00AM.It's an invitation and no one knew what to expect, but, they were eager to hear from him or know what he wants to say. Adrain has always been a centre of attention.Still, by 9:45 a.m., the livestream had nearly a million viewers.Inside the auditorium—spare, elegant, filled with clean light—journalists, young professionals, industry veterans, and many more gathered in silence. The air was charged, but reverent. Everyone knew something was diff
As the sky darkened into an inky velvet blue, strings of paper lanterns blinked to life overhead, casting a soft, honeyed glow across the courtyard. The tables had been cleared, plates stacked, glasses refilled. Music pulsed gently in the background—something warm and old, with rhythm enough to move to but tenderness enough to sway hearts.Sophie was laughing with a circle of younger team members near the makeshift dance floor. Elena twirled with Aria once again, the toddler’s giggles rising higher than the violins and piano. The investigator and Nathan were deep in a mildly competitive card game on a blanket in the corner, and someone from HR had just started organizing a trivia game using company lore as the theme.It was then that Adrain stood up once again, this time from beside a small display table that had been kept under wraps until now. A velvet cloth still covered what rested on it.He clinked his glass softly, and a hush fell over the courtyard like a gentle breeze.“Alrigh
