A love twisting story chronicling Gray Muller, a young billionaire with great achievement As he found himself in love with two secret sisters having in mind to marry both of them. But his parents disagree and revealed to him their long standing family legacy which must be strictly obeyed: Monogamy. Gray muller found a new strategy by the help of his mother in searching for his true lover among the sisters.

Chapter 1 Emily at NovaTech

Gray Muller sat deep in thought, resting on his swivel chair as he rolled gently from side to side in his office. His mind raced with strategies to uphold NovaTech's sterling reputation-two years as the city's top-rated company was no small feat, and he was determined to keep it that way. A pen twirled absentmindedly in his fingers, his focus shifting from idea to idea.

A soft knock at the door broke his concentration.

"Come in," he said, sitting up straight to greet the visitor.

Rachel, one of his staff, stepped in. "Good day, sir. An applicant named Emily is here to see you. Should I let her in?"

Gray gave a simple nod, his expression unreadable.

Moments later, a young woman entered the office, clutching a neatly folded letter in her hands. Gray's eyes met hers, and for a moment, he paused.

"She's beautiful... though she seemed a little inexperienced", he thought, his gaze lingering as she approached.

"Good day, sir. I'm Emily John, the applicant. Here's my letter of application," she said confidently, extending the envelope.

Gray took it slowly, impressed by her poise. She hadn't even been interviewed yet, but something about her confidence struck him.

"I'll review your application shortly," he replied with authority, leaning back in his chair. "I trust your contact details are included?"

"Yes, sir. Thank you for considering my request," Emily said with a hopeful smile before turning to leave. Her stride was calm but assertive.

Gray's eyes followed her as she walked away, an involuntary smile tugging at the corner of his lips as the door closed behind her.

Gray's POV

Once Emily was gone, I blinked twice, snapping back to the moment as I glanced at her letter. Her handwriting was neat, her words articulate, and her insights into software development impressive. I nodded as I read-she had potential.

She could bring real value to NovaTech, I thought, setting the letter carefully on my desk. But as I leaned back again, her confident smile replayed in my mind. I tried to shake it off, rubbing my face. Focus, Gray.

I stood and decided to make my usual rounds-especially to check in on Lyra, my most trusted marketer.

Gray strode confidently into the marketing department. His tuxedo was sharp, his curls neatly trimmed, his presence instantly commanding attention. The staff greeted him in chorus.

He turned his attention to Lyra, who barely glanced up, too focused on her computer screen-but the sparkle in her eyes gave her away.

"Lyra, any progress since our last talk?" Gray asked, his tone softer than usual, making several staff members glance at each other knowingly.

"Yes, sir. I made a significant sale this morning," she replied proudly.

Gray nodded, pleased. "Well done."

He returned to his office and picked up the phone, dialing the number on Emily's application.

"Hello, Emily John. This is Gray Muller, CEO of NovaTech. I've reviewed your letter, and I'm pleased to inform you that your application has been approved. We look forward to welcoming you to the software development team tomorrow. Congratulations."

He ended the call, placing the phone gently back on its cradle. He was known for being strict, even ruthless-but when it came to Lyra, his staff had seen another side of him. Some envied her, others were simply curious. She was the only female employee who made the stoic CEO smile with ease.

Emily's Thoughts

I nearly jumped with excitement when the call ended. I got in! NovaTech!

The very name inspired awe in the city. Their record-breaking innovations and quality services made them a dream employer. I was ecstatic. I rushed to my wardrobe, picking out my best outfit-something sharp but simple, perfect for a first day at work.

Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough.

My love for software started in childhood. I used to take apart gadgets just to see how they worked. I taught myself programming, built apps, and even tried a startup once.

My strength lies in precision-I don't like loose ends. That drive sometimes makes me seem aloof or distant, but it's only because I give everything my full focus. People often misunderstand intensity, but I believe it's what makes excellence possible.

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."
