Chapter: CHAPTER 200 (EPILOGUE)Roman stepped back into the house and he found a figure sitting on the couch waiting for him. He clenched his jaws as he walked into the room. He was eager to see who had interrupted his grieving session. He had been to let all the pain out. The guilt he felt for watching his mother die and also not being there for his parents while they were alone hit him hard. He just needed that space but he wasn’t going to get that now. As he came closer, the figure sat at the couch with a tea cup in their hand. Roman squinted his eyes as he tried to recognize who it was. The figure finally turned around and faced Roman. Roman was immediately shocked by what he saw. “Nuo?” He called in surprise. Nuo Feng, who was dressed in her customary robes, rose from the couch and smiled at him. Roman was in disbelief. The last time had seen her was when he had visited Shanghai. That was because he had been hurt badly in a confrontation with Viper Don’s men which had left him paralyzed. But

Chapter: CHAPTER 199“There you go,” Ben said, handing him a bouquet. Roman gave him a weak smile and got the bouquet of yellow roses from him. “Thank you, Ben.”Ben nodded. “If you need anything. Just call me.”Roman nodded and Ben turned around leaving him. He was now alone in the graveyard of his parents all dressed in a black suit. With the bouquet in his hands, he stepped forward and stood before the headstone of both his parents. With a smile, he picked out one of the yellow roses and placed it on his mother’s grave.“Hello, mum. I’m back,” he said with a smile. He moved to the next headstone and dropped another flower on it. This was his father’s. Roman clenched his jaws as he stared at his father’s headstone. He could feel the guilt consume him as he looked at it. It was hard for him because he couldn’t remember what his father looked like, nor did he have any memory of who his father was. The only reason he remembered him was the pictures in their old house, and the video of him leaving th

Chapter: CHAPTER 198Roman stretched on the bed as he woke up before opening his eyes. He looked around and realized that the morning sunlight had washed into the room, illuminating the bed on which he lay. Last night was amazing. After winning the award for the entrepreneur of the year, he had come back to the suite with Florence where they had sex. Just as she was about to climax, she said the magic words. I love you. Roman didn’t know what to say back then, but he felt he had an obligation to say what he felt about yet too. And he was going to tell her when they had breakfast. He turned to the other side of the bed to meet her only to find it empty. This startled him. He rose from the bed and looked around the room. There was no trace left of her being her last night. That was awkward for him. Roman rose from the bed stark naked and walked towards the bathroom. He opened the door and stepped into it. He found water droplets on the floor which meant that she had been here awhile ago. He reached

Chapter: CHAPTER 197Roman Lacroix opened the door of his suite and stepped inside. On the other hand was his award which he couldn’t quite wrap his head around how he had won it. He had been stunned when his name was mentioned. After making a speech, he received the award which made him feel better. That was two awards he had won now, but who was counting? He wondered if the universe was finally paying him back from all the torture he had undergone at the hands of Viper Don. But that didn’t matter much to him. If that was the case, then he would gladly accept it. The door of the suite was closed and he turned around to see Florence coming in with her purse in her hand. She still looked amazing, and he was surprised that he hadn’t noticed that until now. She was amazing in her black dress which exposed her cleavage. Roman found it hard to look away. Florence noticed Roman looking at her and she couldn’t help but smirk. They had decided to spend the night in suits and travel back to New York the

Chapter: CHAPTER 196“Roman! You won’t believe this!” Ben said as he closed the door. Roman who was sitting on the couch with a glass of scotch in his hand turned to Ben who had an envelope in his hand. He wondered what he could do there. “What is it?” Roman asked. “I think it is for you,” Ben replied, handing over the envelope to him. Roman, confused, got the envelope and immediately tore the seal. He reached into the envelope and brought out a letter from it. After reading for a few moments, he was left in awe. Ben noticed the change in Roman’s facial expression which made him more curious about what could be in the letter. “What is it?” Roman read the letter one more time before turning to him. “It’s an invitation,” he said. “To where?” Ben asked. Roman turned back to the letter. “It says here, Dear Roman Lacroix, amazed by the works you have carried out in your hometown, Brooklyn. We are delighted to invite you to the prestigious annual Entrepreneur Awards night. We will b

Chapter: CHAPTER 195Roman walked through the hallway of the precinct as he headed towards the other entrance. He had contemplated this for days, and he had finally come to a decision—he was going to get the key to the city. He deserved it. Oliver had made him realize this. After saving his life on multiple occasions, he realized that there were a lot of things that he had done that went unnoticed. He had been able to take three powerful men down with Viper Don being the strongest. It hadn’t been easy, but he had done it. The last mission made him feel that he could do anything if he put his mind to it. Saving Susan from the mighty drug lord, Frederic El Mataso, made him realize that there was more to his capabilities than he knew. Eric and Adam were waiting nervously just as the mayor went to the podium to give a speech. They were still inside the building waiting to be summoned. It was a big day for them, but that didn’t stop Eric from wearing his trademark black leather jacket. Adam on the other ha

Sinclair's Lost Heir[The Rise Of The Betrayed Son-in-law]
Five years. That’s how long Ethan Carter dedicated his life to the Hale family’s empire, believing loyalty would earn him respect. Instead, he was framed for theft and infidelity—cast out like trash to justify his contracted wife’s divorce. His ex-wife, Vanessa Hale, a national screen goddess, painted him as a scumbag, turning fans and street mobs against him.
Homeless, disgraced, and beaten, Ethan thought his suffering had reached its peak—until he uncovered the darkest secret of the Hale family. His father-in-law and brother-in-law were criminals masquerading as elites, their hands dipped in underground dealings. But before he could dig out enough evidence to expose them, masked men ambushed him, leaving him broken and bleeding in an alleyway.
As death seemed inevitable, a mysterious woman saved him. Little did he know, she was Olivia Roberts, daughter to Tim Roberts, William Sinclair’s best friend. William Sinclair is the richest and most respected man in all if New York and beyond, he is the owner of the largest conglomerate in all of New York, and even more shocking… Ethan was his long-lost grandson.
With a new identity, a limitless empire at his fingertips, and a searing thirst for revenge, Ethan returns—not as the discarded son-in-law but as a king ready to take back everything stolen from him.
The game had changed, and this time, he made the rules.

Chapter: CHAPTER 33Ethan’s POV “Ethan, you need to sit for this.”I froze just as I reached for my phone on the coffee table. Jordan never used that tone unless it was big. Life-altering big.“Talk to me,” I said, pacing to the window as my fingers tightened around the phone. “What did you find?”“Your hunch was dead-on. Nathan’s not just behind the pills I traced. He’s personally supplying a private circle of elite clients with high-grade narcotics. Cocaine. Fentanyl. Shipped through a chain of fake wellness brands—all tied back to an upscale club downtown. ‘Lavish Red.’ Ring a bell?”I exhaled. “Of course it would be a club. How poetic of him.”“There’s more,” Davis said, voice sharper now. “He’s planning a personal drop-off. Tonight. Midnight. A private VIP lounge. I’ve intercepted texts—he’ll be there with the stuff.”“You’re sure?”“Do I ever call unless I’m sure?”I couldn’t help the grin tugging at the corner of my lips. “No. You don’t.”“Address is 322 Bellerose Street. I’ve already got camera

Chapter: CHAPTER 32Ethan’s POV“You want me to what?” Lionel’s voice crackled through the speakerphone, laced with disbelief.“Bid the stock prices low, Lionel. As low as legally possible,” I said, leaning back into the leather of my chair, fingers drumming on the glass table. “Push them so far into a corner they’ll have no option but to sell.”“Christ, Ethan, they’re already gasping for breath. You want to drown them while they’re still conscious?”“Yes.”He exhaled, a breath that told me he was still trying to wrap his head around it. “You do know Richard Hale isn’t the type to let things go quietly, right? If they find out you’re the one buying...”“They won’t,” I cut him off. “That’s why I have you. I’m just a ghost in the shadows, until it is time.”“And what exactly do you gain from pissing them off this bad?” he asked, a little chuckle in his voice.“You mean besides satisfaction?” I said. “The look on Nathan’s face when he realizes the very companies they sold to survive would eventually belong

Chapter: CHAPTER 31Ethan’s POV The sky was a perfect shade of blue, the kind that made everything feel like it was going according to plan.The countryside estate was beautiful, and for a moment, it almost felt like I could leave all the chaos behind. The property was vast rolling green hills stretching as far as the eye could see. It was everything I needed: it was perfect for a retreat, just far enough from the city to offer peace but close enough to make any business dealings possible. "Mr. Sinclair, we are here." The driver’s voice broke me from my thoughts. I nodded, checking my watch. I stepped out of the car, adjusting my suit jacket, and surveyed the estate. The property was in pristine condition, with freshly mowed lawns and towering trees surrounding a beautiful colonial style house. My grandfather’s birthday was coming up soon, I wanted to give him a befiting present for his birthday and retirement. "Everything looks good," I muttered to myself, walking toward the agent who had been show

Chapter: CHAPTER 30Ethan’s POV “You bought what?” Jordan’s voice cracked through the encrypted line like a whip when I told him that I had bought all the shares put up for sale by Hale subsidiaries. I grinned into the phone, leaned back in my leather chair at the Sinclair estate study. “Every last share they threw to the market. Through a private broker in Dubai. The entire subsidiary is mine now.”“You’re playing God now, huh?” he muttered. “You do realize the Hales are going to freak when they find out they just sold a piece of their empire to their worst nightmare?”I chuckled, low and slow. “That’s the idea.”“You’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. But what the hell are you planning to do with this new toy?”“Use it, Jordan. Every locked door they thought I couldn’t open, I now have the keys. Internal communications, supply chains, financial records—everything.”“Damn. You really pulled this off.”“I told you,” I said, opening a secure email I just received from the broker. “Patience, power, and a p

Sunlight streamed through the expansive windows, casting long shadows over the polished mahogany table where Hale Pharmaceuticals' future hung in the balance.My father, sat at the helm, his expression a mask of controlled fury. To his right, my brother Nathan shifted uncomfortably, his usual bravado noticeably absent.

The recent scandal had shaken their confidence, and the cracks in our foundation were beginning to show.Mr. Langley, a senior shareholder with a penchant for bluntness, broke the silence.

Chapter: CHAPTER 28Ethan's POV “Ethan, you might want to sit down for this,” Jordan’s voice crackled through the speakerphone. “It’s bad. And getting worse.” I didn’t sit. I leaned forward against my desk at the Sinclair estate’s study, pen still in hand, documents scattered like puzzle pieces before me. “How bad?” “Hale Pharmaceuticals is on the verge of collapse. Full-blown financial hemorrhage. Their investors are rattled, and word’s starting to leak.” I paused. My grip on the pen tightened. “How the hell did this happen so fast?” “Pride, mostly,” Jordan said, almost laughing. “You're aware that the Hales had earlier sought a merger with Sinclair Biotech right? That was the reason they had found their way to the Sinclair’s annual gala.” “I remember. They must have scoffed at the idea the second they found out I’d be running Sinclair after him.” I sat back slowly, a small smile playing on my lips. “Richard myst have thought that proceeding with the merger would have been humiliating to them I su
