They are everywhere in society: in hospitals, offices, mosques, churches, and clubs. Known as the "ODD," they are the biggest players in town-billionaires with immense influence. They control beggars, hoodlums, and markets. Their presence is intimidating; they can kill or manipulate, and their implications are far-reaching. Highly intelligent, they get whatever they want and hold the reins of the country. They blend in with the common people, concealing their true identities so that only those of their rank recognize them. You might find them in the marketplace, appearing unkempt, as they still need to meet their daily needs. They have tasks to fulfill when necessary. The foremost rule of this group is to keep their identities secret; exposure could endanger their entire families. One of the billionaire heirs, Johnson, had his identity revealed, which is perilous and potentially suicidal. Did others come to help him, or was Johnson left to fend for himself? It seems he is an orphan.

ODD GUYS WITH REVENGE Chapter 1 The Chase Begins

Johnson tightened his grip on the steering wheel of his sports car as he glanced at the rearview mirror again. The black SUV was still there, following his every move. At first, he hadn't thought much of it-black SUVs were a dime a dozen in the city, often carrying business executives or tourists. But after several turns and detours, the vehicle's persistence was undeniable.

He was being followed.

The realization hit him like a cold slap. As the 24-year-old heir to his family's billion-dollar empire, Johnson was no stranger to danger. He had been warned countless times by his father and their security team about the risks his name and fortune carried. Kidnapping, blackmail, even assassination-these weren't just abstract threats. They were part of his reality.

He took a deep breath and decided to test the SUV's resolve. Johnson abruptly switched lanes and turned onto a quieter street, one that led away from the bustling main roads. The SUV followed, maintaining a safe but telling distance.

"Damn it," Johnson muttered under his breath, his mind racing. He mentally retraced his steps for the day. Had he unknowingly offended someone? Was this about business? Or was it something darker-an attack on his family?

Accelerating slightly, Johnson turned down another street, weaving through traffic as his heartbeat quickened. The SUV mimicked his every move. He glanced at the two men in the front seats-both wearing dark suits and sunglasses, their faces cold and unreadable.

Adrenaline surged through his veins. This is real. He needed to act.

Johnson reached for his phone and dialed his father head of security, Malcolm. The line rang once, twice, before Malcolm picked up.

"Mr. Johnson?" came the calm, professional voice.

"I'm being followed," Johnson said, his voice clipped. "Black SUV. Two men inside. I've been taking random turns, but they're still on me."

"Where are you now?" Malcolm asked.

Johnson rattled off his location, keeping an eye on the SUV. "What do I do?"

"Stay on main roads," Malcolm instructed. "We're tracking your car's GPS. Head toward a populated area. We'll intercept you."

Despite the reassurance, a sliver of doubt gnawed at Johnson. The SUV wasn't slowing down, and every instinct in his body screamed that he was in immediate danger. He took another sharp turn, this time onto a quieter street lined with warehouses and abandoned buildings. It was a gamble-fewer people meant fewer witnesses, but it also meant less traffic to slow down his pursuers.

The SUV sped up, closing the distance. Johnson's hands tightened on the wheel as his pulse thundered in his ears. He could see the glint of something metallic in the passenger's hand-a gun.

He pressed down on the accelerator, his car roaring as it surged forward. The SUV gave chase, its engine growling like a predator closing in on its prey. The quiet streets became a blur as Johnson weaved through narrow lanes, his sharp reflexes keeping him just ahead of the pursuers.

But the SUV was relentless. It gained on him, inch by inch, until it was almost bumper-to-bumper with his car. Johnson could hear the faint sound of shouting from inside the vehicle, though he couldn't make out the words. He took another hard turn, his tires screeching against the pavement as he narrowly avoided clipping a parked truck.

---

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He remembered an old construction site a few blocks away-a sprawling area filled with half-finished buildings and equipment. It was risky, but it might give him the advantage he needed to lose them.

Johnson took a sharp right, heading toward the site. The SUV hesitated for a moment before following. Johnson's heart pounded as he neared the construction zone. He knew the layout from previous visits, a remnant of his family's involvement in the project. If he could navigate the site faster than them, he might be able to escape.

The unfinished roads and scattered debris made for a dangerous terrain. Johnson's car skidded as he turned into the site, narrowly missing a pile of steel beams. The SUV followed, its bulk making it harder to maneuver through the tight spaces. Johnson used this to his advantage, zigzagging through obstacles and forcing the larger vehicle to slow down.

He reached a dead-end where a large crane loomed overhead. There was no time to reverse. He slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, his legs carrying him toward a staircase leading up one of the skeletal buildings.

The SUV screeched to a halt, and the two men jumped out, guns in hand. Johnson's heart pounded as he climbed the stairs two at a time, his breath ragged. He could hear the men shouting behind him, their heavy footsteps echoing through the structure.

Reaching the third floor, Johnson ducked behind a stack of cement bags. He needed a plan-and fast. He scanned the area, spotting a wooden plank leading to another section of the building. It was narrow and unstable, but it was his only option.

He stepped onto the plank, his arms outstretched for balance as it creaked under his weight. Below him, the men appeared on the floor he'd just left, their sharp eyes scanning for any sign of movement. One of them pointed toward the plank, shouting something inaudible.

Johnson quickened his pace, his heart hammering as the plank swayed. He reached the other side just as one of the men stepped onto the plank behind him. Without thinking, Johnson grabbed a nearby pipe and swung it toward the plank, dislodging it. The man yelped as the plank fell, leaving him stranded on the other side.

The second man, however, was smarter. He took another route, his footsteps drawing closer. Johnson bolted, weaving through the maze of scaffolding and unfinished walls. He could see an exit ahead-a series of ladders leading down to the ground.

The chase spilled out into an alleyway behind the construction site. Johnson's legs burned as he sprinted, his body running on pure adrenaline. He could hear the men behind him, their voices growing louder. Just as he rounded a corner, he spotted salvation-two police officers patrolling the street.

"Help!" he shouted, waving his arms. "They're after me!"

The officers turned, their hands instinctively moving to their holsters. The men in suits slowed their pursuit, their faces impassive as they melted back into the shadows. Johnson stumbled toward the officers, gasping for breath.

"They had guns," he panted. "They were chasing me."

---

Within minutes, more police arrived, along with Johnson's security team. Malcolm stepped out of an armored vehicle, his face a mask of concern.

"Are you hurt?" he asked, gripping Johnson's shoulder.

"No," Johnson said, though his voice trembled. "But who were they? Why were they after me?"

Malcolm's expression darkened. "We don't know yet, but we'll find out. For now, we need to get you somewhere safe."

As the security team escorted Johnson away, he couldn't shake the feeling of unease. The men in suits weren't ordinary criminals-they had moved with precision and purpose. This was planned, targeted.

Sitting in the back of the armored car, Johnson stared out the window, his mind racing. Someone was after him, and they wouldn't stop until they got what they wanted. But who were they working for? And what was their endgame?

The answers eluded him, but one thing was clear: the game had changed. And Johnson would have to be ready for whatever came next.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
