Chapter 1 The Devil's son

The rumors swirled through Las Vegas like a desert sandstorm, threatening to engulf Richard's reputation in a cloud of doubt. The city was in an uproar.

Gossip and rumors spread like wildfire, fueling a frenzy of speculation and whispers behind closed doors.

Everyone was talking about the anonymous news spreading around Las Vegas like roaring fire.

The gossip was centered on Richard Hernandez; the owner of the most luxurious hotel in the whole of Las Vegas. Glamour Empire Hotel is famous for having the best luxury resort and a luxury casino that host celebrities, wealthy vacationers, award shows, fashion shows, movie premieres, a famous nightclub and so many more.

The hotel has always been praised for its luxurious facilities, but now it's been ridiculed with lots of hateful comments and speeches, because the handsome and powerful Richard Hernandez was rumored to be gay.

The scandal had reached a boiling point as everyone in Las Vegas seemed to know the rumors - that Richard was in a secret gay relationship.

Every citizen, including all Tv stations in Las Vegas were talking about it, and since Las Vegas was a country known for world-class entertainment, it went very viral.

The room was silently dark, but a man was being beaten up brutally by some men, while Richard sat down watching as the men descended on the innocent man.

Richard's face holds no emotions, in fact he was dissatisfied by how the men were handling the innocent man.

A snap of his finger, signaled the men to stop with the beating. They didn't need to be informed before the wounded man was dragged to where Richard was sitting like a king.

His cold hands went to the man's jaw, his gray eyes piercing angrily at him.

"Your broadcasting company was the one who started the rumors about me right?" His baritone voice asked, and his eyes darkened with very single words.

"Yes it was, and I am sorry. My broadcasting company was at the verge of bankruptcy and I needed to do something about it"

"By tarnishing my reputation? Do you even know who I am?" Richard asked. The way he spoke was enough to make even the strongest man pee on his pants.

"I'm sorry Mr. Richard"

"Who was the person that sent the fake news to you? If you tell me, I might reconsider not chopping your head off" He glared.

"Forgive me Mr. Richard, but I have no idea who the person is. It was anonymously sent to my company, we just uploaded it on the internet" The chin-bearded man said.

"You think that I'm going to buy your lies? I ask you for the last time, who sent the message to you"

"I'm speaking the truth, Mr. Richard. It was sent anonymously" The man cried. He has had rumors about how dangerous of a man Richard is.

If he wasn't blinded by the thought of boasting his company when the anonymous email was sent to him, he won't be in the realm of the devil's son right now.

Richard stood to his feet, just a move of his eyebrows, his men got his message and they resume with the brutal beating.

The man was screaming for help, but it didn't move Richard.

Kristin heaved a sigh after coming out from a building. She has just arrived in Las Vegas, looking for a cheap house to rent, but she couldn't get a house that met up with the amount she can afford.

"Why are houses in Vegas so expensive? I need to start working as soon as possible to take care of my parents in Glenwood, they can't continue farming" Kristin whines.

"Should I find a rich tycoon and get married to him?" Kristin, chuckled at her own words. Her stomach rumbled and she knew it was time to eat, she hasn't eaten since she landed in Las Vegas.

Kristin looked for the perfect spot to sit, and when she found one, she smiled and rushed to sit down. She opened her luggage and brought out the homemade rice cakes her mom prepared for her before she embarked on her journey to Vegas.

"Mmmm, mom's cooking is always the best" Kristin uttered dancing with her head. She wasn't the type of person that gets shy and that's why she was comfortably eating on the roadside despite how the people passing by were looking at her.

"Why are they all staring at me? Haven't they seen someone eating before?" Kristin muttered to herself, enjoying her delicious rice cakes.

"Do you want some rice cakes?" Kristin asked when a lady won't stop looking at her. She even went ahead and made a pose when another lady attempted to take a picture of her and post it online.

•I doubt if she is from Vegas•

•She is definitely not from Vegas. No one in Las Vegas eats outside•

Kristin kept beaming a smile at them even when they were gossiping about her, she kept doing so, until she was the only one left in the roadside, still enjoying her meal.

"It's no big deal in Glenwood when you eat by the roadside, so why is it such a big deal here?" When she was done eating to her satisfaction, she began zipping up her luggage and in the process of doing so, someone stole her bag containing all the money she has.

"You thief! Come back here!!!" Kristin screamed going after the thief, leaving her luggage.

"You're so dead, if I get my hands on you!" The thief was a good runner, but despite his talent, Kristin didn't stopped chasing after him.

Her whole life savings were inside the bag, the thief stole from her.

^

Richard came out of the building, after he instructed his men not to restrain from beating up the man until he speaks.

He was about entering his black Royce car, when a notification from his phone prevented him from opening the car door.

He slide up his phone, his gray eyes reading through the message sent to him.

Meanwhile, Kristin was still on the run, looking for the theft that stole her bag, and she found Richard backing her.

She'd take notice of the clothes the theft was wearing, and this man backing her, was putting on the same black hoodie like the thief.

Kristin sparked immediately.

"You good for nothing thief!" She spats. She rushed to him, jumps and lands a thunderous slap on the back of Richard's head.

"What the heck!"

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

I'm a moaning mess as Antonio slams into me from behind. His hips hit me hard, and each deep thrust sends shockwaves through my body. My breasts bounce with every movement, my eyes roll back, and I moan his name without control. The pleasure he gives me is overwhelming-I can't hold it in. I feel my walls tighten around his thick length. The pressure builds fast, and then- I explode around him, my orgasm tearing through me. He groans loud and deep as he releases inside me, his hot seed spilling into me in thick pulses. Just when I think he's done, his grip shifts. He turns me over and lays me flat on the bed. His dark eyes stare into mine for a moment, filled with raw hunger. I glance down- He's still hard. Before I can react, he grabs my wrists, pins me down, and pushes himself inside me again. He fills me completely. My hips rise on instinct, meeting his rhythm. Our bodies move together, locked in a wild, uncontrollable dance. "You're fucking sweet," he groans, his voice rough and breathless. "I can't get enough of you... not after that night, Sol," he growls, slamming into me harder. The force of his words and his thrusts make my body shake. "Come for me," he commands, his voice low and full of heat. And just like that, my body trembles. Waves of pleasure crash over me. I cry out, shaking with the force of my orgasm. "Mine," he growls again, louder this time. His voice is feral, wild, like a beast claiming what belongs to him. The sound sends a shiver down my spine. *** Solene was betrayed, humiliated, and erased by Rowan Brook, the man she once called husband, Solene is left with nothing but her name and a burning hunger for revenge. She turns to the one man powerful enough to destroy the Brooks family from within: Rowan's estranged and dangerous uncle, Antonio Rodriguez. He's ruthless. A playboy who never sleeps with the same woman twice. But when Solene walks into his world, he doesn't just break the rules, he creates new ones just for her. What begins as a calculated game quickly spirals into obsession, power plays, and secrets too deadly to stay buried. Because Solene isn't just anyone's ex... she's the woman they should've never underestimated. Can she survive the price of revenge? Or will her heart become the next casualty? And when the truth comes out, will Antonio still choose her... or destroy her?
