REVENGE OF THE ILLEGITIMATE HEIR
Dimitri Apollo, the illegitimate son of the influential Levan Apollo, was never destined to claim the throne of the Apollo Empire. But when his stepbrother Quinn—a reckless, pleasure-seeking heir—ignites a scandal that shakes their dynasty to its core, chaos takes hold. Framed for their father's brutal murder, Dimitri becomes the perfect scapegoat in a scheme orchestrated by his calculating stepmother. Condemned to seven years in prison, Dimitri loses everything he held dear.
Behind bars, however, Dimitri discovers allies in the most unexpected places—a brilliant tech expert, a master thief, a fearless tracker, an incisive data analyst, a charismatic salesman, and a former dancer with lethal precision. Together, they forge a pact: to reclaim the Apollo Empire and bring justice to those who ruined Dimitri’s life.
Seven years of meticulous planning. Seven years of unyielding resolve. Now a free man, Dimitri steps into a world that has moved forward without him. The empire he once knew lies in ruins, and his adversaries have only grown stronger. But Dimitri is no longer the marginalized son. With his loyal team by his side, he is determined to seize what was stolen—by any means necessary.
The throne was never his birthright. Now, it’s his for the taking.

Chapter: The key to chaos.“You need to get to Rome,” Celeste’s voice came through the line, low and urgent.Dimitri frowned, gripping the phone tighter. “Rome?”“There’s a small church… Santa Maria della Luce. Find a priest named Father Vittorio,” Celeste continued, her voice slightly shaky. “He might know about it.”Dimitri’s pulse quickened. “The key?”Celeste inhaled sharply. “I think it’s there. But listen to me, you don’t have much time. I overheard Ava speaking with Tobias. They suspect you’re getting close.”Dimitri exhaled slowly, rubbing his temple. “How sure are you about this?”Celeste hesitated. “Dimitri, I wouldn’t be risking my life to tell you this if I wasn’t sure.”His stomach tightened. She had a point.“Then I leave tonight,” he confirmed. “Are you safe?”A pause. “For now.”Dimitri didn’t like that answer. “Celeste….”A rustling noise interrupted her, followed by a sharp gasp.Then the call went dead.Dimitri’s blood ran cold.“Celeste?” He checked the screen….Call Ended.A second later, he

Chapter: No more games??“You’re telling me who she left with?” Tobias’s voice was dangerously low, his fingers tightening around the whiskey glass.The man across from him hesitated, swallowing hard before speaking. “Dimitri Apollo.”The glass shattered in Tobias’s hand. He barely flinched.For a moment, silence filled the dimly lit study, save for the slow trickle of whiskey dripping onto the mahogany desk. His jaw tightened, his breathing steady but sharp.The man shifted uncomfortably. “She…she left the club with him last night. Spent the night at his villa.”Tobias closed his eyes briefly, his temper a slow-burning fire. When he opened them, there was only ice.“Leave,” he ordered.The man practically sprinted out.Tobias pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, dabbing at the blood from the tiny cuts on his palm. Then, slowly, he reached for his phone.The call barely rang before Quinn answered.“What do you want, Tobias?” Quinn’s lazy drawl grated on his nerves.“Your brother,” Tobias said, voice lethal,

Chapter: A dangerous seduction.“Leaving already?” Dimitri’s smooth voice stopped Havana in her tracks as she grabbed her clutch from the bar.Havana turned, her emerald-green eyes narrowing slightly as she recognized him. “And who are you to care if I do?” she shot back, her tone playful yet guarded.Dimitri stepped closer, his tailored suit catching the dim light of the club. “Someone who knows a woman like you doesn’t belong surrounded by vultures.” He glanced at the men eyeing her from the shadows. “Let me guess. they’ve all been circling you tonight, hoping for a piece of your attention?”Havana tilted her head, a small smirk playing on her lips. “And what makes you different? You seem like the same type.”Dimitri chuckled, his confidence unwavering. “Oh, I’m nothing like them. I don’t circle. I take.”Havana raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. “Is that supposed to impress me?”“No,” Dimitri said, his voice dropping slightly as he leaned in. “It’s supposed to interest you.”For a moment, Havana held his

Chapter: Danger is the only game worth playing.Quinn stormed into the grand Apollo mansion, his tie loosened and face red with fury. Ava followed closely behind, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. “I cannot believe the board would even dare question us like that!” Quinn ranted, throwing his briefcase onto a nearby chair. “Do they forget who’s in charge?”“They’re vultures,” Ava replied coldly, brushing invisible dust off her tailored blazer. “We need to act quickly before they gain more ground.”“I’ll deal with them tomorrow,” Quinn muttered, heading toward the living room. But as they entered, both froze in their tracks.Dimitri was sitting calmly on their father’s old leather armchair, impeccably dressed in a sharp black suit. A confident smirk played on his lips as he swirled a glass of brandy in his hand. Behind him stood Klaw, his imposing figure making the air in the room feel heavier.“What the….” Quinn blurted, his face paling.“Surprised to see me, brother?” Dimitri’s voice was smooth but carried an edge

Chapter: First strike,Half somebody.The gates of the prison creaked open, and Dimitri stepped out into the world he hadn’t seen in seven long years. Beside him, Klaw, Marcelo, Zarina, Emery, Dylan, and the salesman followed, each wearing expressions ranging from cautious optimism to cold determination. The sun was bright, almost mocking, as if daring them to face what awaited outside.Dimitri’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He glanced down at the screen and saw Celeste’s name flashing.He answered quickly. “Celeste?”Her voice was tense, almost trembling. “Dimitri, listen to me. Quinn’s hired men—they’re waiting for you on the main road leading out of the prison. They’re armed and ready to kill you.”Dimitri’s jaw tightened, his hand clenching the phone. “What?”“They’ve been instructed to make it look like an accident. You have to take the back route….the service road. It’s narrow and unpaved, but it’s your only shot. I can’t stall them for long,” she warned.Dimitri turned to Klaw and the others. “Change of plans. We’re

Chapter: A rude Awakening.“You’ve got that look again,” Klaw said, leaning against the bars of Dimitri’s cell, a sly grin spreading across his scarred face. “The one that says you’re about to burn the whole world down.”Dimitri, sitting cross-legged on the cot, didn’t look up. His hands toyed with a crumpled piece of paper, the remnants of Marcelo’s latest findings. “Not the world,” he muttered. “Just theirs.”Klaw’s grin widened. “That’s the spirit. Seven years, huh? Feels like we’ve been waiting a lifetime for this.”Dimitri finally glanced up, his sharp green eyes meeting Klaw’s piercing gaze. “You think they’ve forgotten about me?”“They haven’t forgotten,” Klaw said, pushing off the bars. “They’re just hoping you did.”Dimitri chuckled darkly. “They’re in for a rude awakening.”---Apollo Empire Headquarters – Boardroom“I’m not asking for miracles, Quinn!” an older board member shouted, his fists slamming the polished oak table. “I’m asking for leadership, which this company clearly lacks!”Quinn Apollo
