“Simon, are you gonna remain seated and not make yourself useful today? At least, even if you can’t help the Katherine family financially, at least stop being a useless person,” Addy sneered, giving Simon a bad look over.She’s Addy Katherine, Simon’s wife, Ash’s elder sister, and the Katherine family’s eldest granddaughter.Today is the 75th birthday of the Katherine family matriarch. The walls were decorated in peach, and the top people in society were invited to the birthday celebration. It’s such an elegant and sophisticated event.Many of these guests were mostly at this event to mock Simon, as everyone in high society knew about Simon.Simon is a live-in son-in-law of the Katherine family. Aside from the fact that he has no money, Simon has no position or dignity in the Katherine family.“What Addy said is true,” Mrs. Katherine said, looking at Simon with a condescending gaze.“Simon, you have been in the Katherine family for a year now due to the benevolence of my late husband,

The Grandiose Hotel glimmered like a monument to wealth and status. Its glass façade reflected the skyline like a mirror—clean, cold, and unbothered. Luxury cars lined the front entrance, and bellhops in white gloves flitted between guests like well-trained dancers. Inside, the lobby was all marble and murmurs—fountains whispering, jazz playing low, the perfume of old money lingering in the air.Simon stepped out of his matte black SUV with the quiet confidence of a man who’d earned every inch of his success. No entourage. No need for theatrics. Just a tailored charcoal blazer, black trousers, leather duffel in hand. He walked with purpose, but not urgency—each step echoing across the polished stone like it belonged there.He had a reservation. Penthouse suite. Paid in full. Arranged weeks in advance.But Manager Thornton didn’t see any of that.Thornton stood behind the check-in counter like a gatekeeper to some sacred temple—immaculately dressed, thin-rimmed glasses perched on a nar

Later that day, Simon sat at the head of the long glass conference table, the city skyline stretching behind him like a kingdom under his control. But tonight, it wasn’t control he was interested in. It was revenge.The room was dim, the only source of light coming from the glow of multiple laptop screens and the sleek, high-tech dashboard displayed on the massive wall monitor. His team—handpicked, ruthless, and the best in their fields—were locked in, fingers flying across keyboards, scanning through data, tracking digital footprints.The source of the attack had to be found. And it had to be done fast.Rachel stood at his right, arms crossed. “We’ve confirmed the tabloid was paid to run the story.”Simon raised an eyebrow. “Paid?”She nodded, pulling up a financial record on her tablet. “A large anonymous deposit hit their accounts three weeks ago. Offshore. Routed through multiple shell companies.”Simon’s lips curved into a small smirk. “Someone’s playing dirty.”Rachel sighed. “T

Simon Heathrow had built his mornings around discipline. No distractions before 7 AM. No unnecessary noise. Just a strong espresso, a workout, and time to strategize for the day ahead. But that morning, something was off. The silence of his penthouse felt too heavy, like a storm waiting to break. Then his phone buzzed. Once. Twice. Then non-stop. At first, he ignored it, brushing off the urgency as just another business deal needing his approval. But when the vibrations continued, stacking one notification over another, he reached for the device with a slight frown. Simon barely had time to unlock his screen before the first headline burned into his vision: “EXCLUSIVE: Billionaire Simon Heathrow’s Shocking Double Life—Fraud, Scandals, and Secret Affairs” His brows lifted, the words almost amusing in their audacity. Fraud? Scandals? Affairs? The hell was this? Another notification appeared. Then another. “Simon, what is going on?” — A well-respected invest

Ash leaned back in her leather chair, the glow of her laptop screen illuminating the smirk playing on her lips. Outside, the cityscape of their new home stretched endlessly, a world away from the place where Simon had humiliated her. But distance wasn’t enough—she wanted more. She wanted revenge.The tabloid's editor sat across from her, sweating under the weight of the offer she had just presented. He was a wiry man with sunken eyes, his desperation barely concealed beneath a thin layer of professionalism. The publication he ran was on its last legs—circulation had plummeted, lawsuits were stacking up, and advertisers were fleeing.But now? Now, he had a lifeline. A golden opportunity.“You’re telling me,” he said, voice low, calculating, “you want us to run an exposé on Simon Heathrow?”Ash swirled the wine in her glass, enjoying his hesitation. “Not just any exposé, Jonathan. I want something that will bury him. A full-blown scandal. Something so devastating, so irrefutable, that t

Kingston exhaled sharply and rolled his shoulders back, forcing his expression into something resembling indifference.“Alright, so the guy lifts,” he muttered, forcing out a dry chuckle. “Doesn’t mean anything.”Derek scoffed, shaking his head. “Doesn’t mean anything? Dude, did you see that? That wasn’t just lifting. That was Navarro-level lifting.”Kingston’s stomach twisted at the name.Navarro.The world-class athlete. The legend.Simon wasn’t just training with a pro—he was training with the pro.And that wasn’t something money alone could buy.Derek crossed his arms. “When the hell did Simon even start training? Last I checked, the guy wasn’t exactly living in luxury.”Jordan nodded. “Yeah, man. Something’s up.”Kingston swallowed back his frustration, but it was boiling over.He needed to know.How had Simon changed so much?And, more importantly—how had he kept it hidden from them for so long?Just then, a low murmur rippled through the gym.Kingston turned, his frown deepenin

Kingston refused to believe it.Simon might have gotten lucky—a sponsorship, an inheritance, a favor from someone powerful.That was the only explanation.And Kingston was going to prove it.He forced a smirk and called out, “You’ve really stepped it up, huh, Simon?”Simon finished his last rep, then turned to face them.His face was calm. Measured. Like he already knew what Kingston was trying to do.“I have.”His voice was even. Unshaken.Kingston crossed his arms, raising a brow. “What, finally got some extra cash? Who’s funding this little glow-up?”Derek and Jordan exchanged glances, sensing the tension.Simon, however, just tilted his head slightly. “And why does that matter to you?”Kingston felt his smirk falter for a split second.Simon’s response wasn’t defensive. It wasn’t angry.It was genuinely indifferent.Like he couldn’t care less what Kingston thought.That—that was new.Jordan cleared his throat, trying to lighten the mood. “Man, we’re just surprised. Last time we sa

Kingston and his gang made their way into the private training area.The private training area was sleek and cutting-edge—a space reserved for the wealthiest members who had their own personal trainers. It was quieter than the main gym, designed for those who actually took fitness seriously instead of just posing for social media.And there, standing in front of a mirror-lined weight rack, was Simon.He wasn’t posing.He wasn’t scrolling through his phone.He was training.Kingston barely recognized him.This wasn’t the skinny, exhausted guy that was Ash’s husband, begging for a weekly allowance and jobless fellow.This Simon was built.His form was precise, his muscles flexing as he moved from one exercise to the next with calculated efficiency. No wasted movements. No unnecessary breaks.Like a man who had done this a thousand times before.And then, as if sensing them, Simon turned.For the first time that day, their eyes met.There was no surprise on Simon’s face. No awkward hesit

The Aurum Elite Sports Club wasn’t just a gym—it was a sanctuary for the ultra-wealthy. It was where CEOs, celebrities, and heirs to billion-dollar fortunes came to sculpt their bodies while subtly reminding everyone else that they belonged to a different world.Even the air smelled expensive—a blend of fresh eucalyptus, imported leather, and the faintest trace of arrogance.In the private lounge, a group of young men lounged in plush chairs, dressed in custom club robes embroidered with their initials. They weren’t here to train. They were here to be seen.At the center of the group was Kingston, one of Ash’s friends when she was still rich, a trust-fund golden boy with a jawline sharp enough to cut glass and an ego even sharper. He leaned back, swirling a protein shake like it was a glass of aged whiskey."Man," Jordan sighed, stretching lazily. "I love this place. You don’t even have to lift a weight, and people still respect you."Kingston smirked. "That’s because they know we be
