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: Trouble in paradise."You don’t get to decide this on your own, Dimitri!"Havana’s voice was raw, shaking with emotion as she stood in the middle of Dimitri’s bedroom, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, her entire body trembling from the argument that had been building between them for the last ten minutes.Dimitri, still half-dressed from his shower, ran a frustrated hand through his damp hair. He exhaled sharply, trying to keep his voice level. "Havana, stop this. You’re not thinking straight."She let out a bitter laugh, her eyes burning with fury. "Oh, I’m thinking perfectly fine. I want a baby, Dimitri! I want our baby back!"His jaw clenched. The room felt suffocating. "We lost the baby, Havana. You can’t just replace that loss by forcing another one into existence."Havana’s breath hitched, the pain in her chest unbearable. "Is that what you think this is about? Replacing them?" Her voice cracked. "You’re heartless."Dimitri took a step toward her, his

Chapter: Playing a game of cat and mouse."You’ve been acting strange since the board meeting, Nikolai."Olga’s voice was deceptively soft as she stepped into his office, her silk dress clinging perfectly to her figure. Too perfect. Too practiced.Nikolai didn’t look up.Seated at his massive desk, he swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching the amber liquid catch the light. His expression was unreadable, but inside? His mind was a storm.Ever since Dimitri walked into that boardroom, something hadn’t sat right.It wasn’t just the boy’s presence. It was the way he carried himself. The way he spoke.The way he reminded Nikolai of himself.His grip on the glass tightened.He had believed for years that Dimitri was Levan’s bastard.That’s what Ava and Olga had told him.That’s what he had been convinced to accept.But if that were true…why did the boy look nothing like Levan?Why did every instinct in his body scream at him that he was wrong?Olga sighed, breaking the silence."You’re thinking about him again," she observed.N

Chapter: the war within.“She’s gone.”Havana’s voice was barely above a whisper, but it cut through Dimitri like a blade.She sat on the hospital bed, her body wrapped in a loose sweater, but her eyes told the real story….red, swollen, empty.The weight of her grief was suffocating.When Dimitri walked in with Celeste, Klaw, and Vladimir, she lifted her gaze, and the moment she saw him….she broke.A choked sob tore from her throat, and before he could say a word, she launched herself at him, burying her face into his chest.“I’m sorry…” she gasped, clinging to him like she was afraid he’d disappear too.“I lost our baby…”Her voice cracked, her shoulders trembling violently as she wept into his shirt.Dimitri’s arms locked around her, his jaw tight, his fingers running slowly through her dark hair.He said nothing.What was there to say?That he was sorry? That it wasn’t her fault? That the universe had already decided this for them?So he let her cry.Let her drown him in her sorrow.After what felt like an

Chapter: counter attack? let's chase.“Nobody moves.”The sharp, authoritative voice cut through the tension like a blade.The double doors to the boardroom swung open, and three men in dark suits stepped inside, their badges flashing under the fluorescent lights.FBI.A thick silence fell over the room.The lead agent, a tall man with piercing blue eyes, stepped forward. His badge gleamed under the light. “Special Agent Calloway, FBI. We’re reopening the case of Levan Apollo’s death.” His gaze swept across the table. “We need full cooperation from every single one of you.”A murmur rippled through the board members.Quinn’s brows shot up. “Reopening? What the hell does that mean?”Calloway’s expression remained cold. “It means we believe there’s more to his death than what was originally reported.” He slid a folder onto the table. “And we’re also investigating several illegal dealings linked to Apollo Empire.”Ava stiffened. "What illegal dealings?"Calloway didn’t blink. "Drug trafficking. Sex trafficking. Organ harvest

Chapter: Let the showdown begin"I call the shots here. None of you has any right to oppose me."Quinn leaned back in his chair, exuding arrogance as he scanned the room. The board members sat around the long table, their faces a mix of disbelief and frustration."Are you blind?!" one of the senior members, an older man with graying hair, slammed his fist on the table. "We are going under red! The company is bleeding, and you sit here like a damn king on a crumbling throne!"Quinn smirked, adjusting the cuffs of his tailored suit. "And what? You think whining about it is going to change anything?"A murmur of anger rippled through the board."None of our business?!" Another board member, a woman in her fifties with sharp eyes, stood. "We’ve put money, energy, time….years and years of hard work into this company, and you dare say it’s none of our business?"Quinn scoffed, tapping his fingers on the table. "You all got your dividends, didn’t you? If you’re so worried, maybe you should’ve invested somewhere else.""Arr

Chapter: The ultimate sin."Where the fuck is Havana?"Dimitri's voice was hoarse but sharp as his eyes snapped open, the sterile scent of antiseptic and bleach invading his senses. The steady beep of the heart monitor filled the silent hospital room, but the moment he moved, a sharp ache shot through his ribs.Klaw, sitting in the chair next to his bed, barely glanced up from his phone. "You're welcome, asshole."Dimitri ignored him, his mind still racing from the last thing he remembered….Havana, sobbing on the phone, the car swerving, the violent crash….fuck.Vladimir Markov stood near the window, arms crossed, his expression unreadable as he turned to face Dimitri. "You're lucky you're alive."Dimitri scoffed, pushing himself up despite the protest of his muscles. "Luck had nothing to do with it." He turned back to Klaw, his voice still rough. "Where is she?"Klaw sighed, setting his phone down. "Celeste got to her in time. Havana’s stable. But she lost the baby."Dimitri stilled.For a moment, the room fel
