Billionaires

5.0

Aaron Thorne never thought his life would fall apart so dramatically. Aaron, a man of modest perseverance and caretaker by profession, has always valued the honour of hard labour. But in Aurelia, a city split along wealth and prestige lines, hard effort is meaningless when everything around you is worshipping luxury and power. Aaron is given a standard cleaning task at the lavish Aurelia Grand Hotel, a glistening castle high in The Heights, the playground of the affluent, on a hot summer day. Sweat-soaked and carrying a mop, he enters the big dinner hall and is met with contempt rather than appreciation. There is a lot of laughing in the hall, champagne glasses clinking, and scathing jeering directed at him. To Aaron's surprise, his wife's closest friend, Vanessa Crestwell, a socialite with a poisonous grin, is at the centre of the jeering. Aaron braces himself as the taunts intensify, unwilling to allow them to undermine his self-respect. However, Aaron understands that this is more than just a job-it's a public ambush-when a glass of wine spill is put on him and a harsh joke about his inadequacy as a spouse pierces his heart. Vanessa has other ideas, but Aaron intends to go peacefully and bear the disgrace in silence. She points him in the direction of a room that she says has to be cleaned immediately. Aaron walks into the room-and freezes-determined to complete the mission and get out of this nightmare. He finds his wife, Lily, in the embrace of Damian Rowe, a wealthy and charming guy who is everything Aaron is not, indoors in romantic, gloomy lighting. Aaron's life falls apart as he sees Damian's lips glued to Lily's. Aaron leaves without saying a word, feeling humiliated, deceived, and furious, but his silence is not a sign of surrender. Rumours about the caretaker who ventured into their world are circulating while the celebration continues, and Vanessa takes pleasure in the drama she has produced. However, they are unaware of Aaron's secret. When he left his family's heritage behind, he buried that past deep. a collection of abilities that, if used freely, might reverse the actions of those who have made fun of and denigrated him. Aaron starts to strategize his next move while the rich elites of Aurelia enjoy their champagne and revel in their seeming dominance. Even though his hands are rough from years of washing, they have the power to create-and destroy. And he won't just restore his dignity when he retaliates. He will reveal the sinister truths that lie underneath Aurelia's glitzy exterior, revelations that have the potential to destroy Damian, Vanessa, and everyone who has ever denigrated him. Because Aaron Thorne is not who people believe him to be. Furthermore, it will be too late by the time they acknowledge their error. Will Aaron's retaliation prove his salvation, or will it ruin the very things he is attempting to preserve?
