But reclaiming his legacy isn’t a triumph; it’s a war. Betrayed by his foster brother, despised by his ex-wife, and underestimated by enemies lurking in the shadows, Silas must navigate a treacherous world of wealth, power, and revenge. As alliances shift and secrets unravel, he discovers that ascending to the throne comes with a price—and a battle he never expected. Will he rise above the chaos, or will his enemies bury him under the weight of his past?

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.
