She was said to be on par with Ascendants, the best players in the city. But the one who joined the team was her twin brother. Because his skills turned out to be poor, her twin brother was bullied until he asked her to replace him. When she joins the team to take revenge on the people who hurt her twin brother, she has to deal with teammates who suspect that she is not her real partner, a mysterious enemy, and a longtime best friend who likes her.

Chapter 1 01

Excellent.

Can we play together once more?

Don't dream! This boss is a soloist, am I correct?

Vesper disregarded her teammates' messages. Following her victory in the match, she closed her game account. She took a candy bar and ate it, then set her phone down on the nightstand.

Her brother Chyper opened the door to their room at the same moment. "Dinner is ready!"

"Alright," Vesper answered.

Vesper and her brother headed into the dining room.

Twins, Vesper, and Chyper. Vesper was born first and was therefore regarded as Chyper's older sister, even though they were separated by only a few minutes. However, their father died when they were five years old. Their mother then chose to accompany her spouse after getting remarried a few years later. It was left to Vesper and Chyper with their uncle and aunt. They still reside with their uncle and aunt.

Chyper questioned, "Did you win it all?"

"Obviously. "I never lose," Vesper retorted.

Their uncle Erash questioned, "You've graduated from school; don't you have any plans to work?"

Silently, Vesper and Chyper exchanged glances.

Chyper declared, "I intend to apply to Phantom Nexus."

Erash exclaimed, "What a unique company."

"Not a company but a team of professional online game players," Vesper replied.

"What, you're simply jumping in like that, not even trying to find a good job? The expense of living is rising, so you people ought to get work," their aunt Narnia remarked.

"You're correct. We don't constantly work, therefore we can't keep you alive," Erash remarked.

"Take it easy, Auntie. I'll make a ton of money playing internet games professionally. I'll give you some of that money," Chyper remarked.

"That's the way it should be because we have to pay a lot of money for your living expenses because your mom left you here." Narnia remarked, "Your mother hardly ever gave you any money."

Vesper and Chyper exchanged a gaze.

"Our mother, with whom we are still in contact, says that she frequently sends money to auntie on our behalf. Though we are aware that we reside here, we are occasionally advised to ask for the money," Vesper remarked.

Narnia answered, "That means your mother is lying to you."

Vesper gave Chyper another silent glance. Only one son was born to Narnia and Erash. His age was now twenty-six. He moved out of town for employment when he was twenty years old, and he hasn't been back until recently. Their uncle had informed Vesper and Chyper that their son had not sent them any money in the previous few years. They made numerous attempts to get in touch with him but never received a response.

"I frequently informed my mother about my aunt and uncle's condition, so she also wanted to provide financial support to my aunt." I informed her that the amount of money supplied to us would not be sufficient. But because her husband isn't all that great, my mother is also struggling there. As her children, shouldn't we be aware of her condition?" inquired Vesper.

"Yes, my child." Erash remarked, "You did a good thing understanding your mother's condition."

"No! Why did your mother decide to stay with him and leave the two of you here till you grew up, knowing full well that he is bad? Narnia remarked sharply, "If she had any intelligence, she would have worked in a high-paying job her entire life rather than becoming entangled in a cult romance merely to sate her lust."

Chyper and Vesper did not speak again.

"Let us not carry on the discussion!" Complete the meal!" Erash gave the command.

Vesper and Chyper returned to their room after their meal. Before bed, as usual, they had a conversation. However, they chose to check their email initially. Who knew they had received a response from Phantom Nexus about member recruitment? They were both startled at first. They perused until they came upon the line. Congratulations! Your application to join the Phantom Nexus has been approved. You have the road to triumph in front of you. Never be afraid to take a step!

They read the information below.

Vesper and Chyper joyfully danced. Erash and his wife looked at each other because Chyper was singing so loudly. Aunt Narnia asked her husband to see how two nephews were doing.

Uncle Erash opened the door to two nephew's room.

Uncle Erash yelled, "Don't shout; it's late."

"Oh, we apologize, Uncle. We're content-"

Chyper went over to his uncle. "I was admitted to the Phantom Nexus, uncle. I got selected from thousands of applicants. Isn't that fantastic?"

Erash was silent for a while. "Can you really make money?"

"I work here. Working does, of course, pay well," Chyper retorted.

"It's like a physical sport, maybe, but he only uses his hands and brain to think of strategies to win his matches," Vesper replied.

"Grateful for Chyper. I'm delighted for you." Erash stroked Chyper's head and murmured, "I hope you succeed."

"Thank you, uncle."

Erash gave a nod, then told them to go to bed and leave their chamber.

Chyper questioned, "Uncle Erash is nice, isn't he?"

"Why would such a nice person get a partner like Aunt Narnia?" Vesper inquired.

"Stop acting that way. We would never have discovered Uncle Erash if it weren't for Aunt Narnia. The sister of our mother is Aunt Narnia. Uncle Erash is merely her spouse, Chyper remarked.

"Ignore that. Vesper remarked, "We ought to consider how you can battle similarly to the other Phantom Nexus members." Next month you have to move into the dormitory."

"Since I'm new, there's no way I'll be deployed to fight right away, right?" replied Chyper.

"I'm not sure about that because I think they recruited you because you were the best player," Vesper replied.

"It's you who consistently participates, not me. Chyper remarked, "I damaged our win rate."

"I told you from the start that if you want to choose that path, then practice until you can use all the roles!" Vesper replied.

"Not only do they not switch roles. It's you who constantly switches," Chyper remarked.

"So what now?"

"I'll compel to play support. I feel rather certain about that. It's not that difficult, really. Some of the matches we've watched so frequently don't seem to be any better than the ones we've actually played. Indeed, it appears to be simpler to perform there, or perhaps there is a setup," Chyper remarked.

"I don't know either because I've never played a match like that," Vesper replied. "I've been to a lot of yearly tournaments, but there's no set-up."

"Since it's live, of course there isn't, Chyper remarked. "Never mind, I'm going to bed!"

Vesper doesn't go straight to sleep. She started with an MMORPG. She had a husband named Jasper in this game. Every night they played together.

Vesper: I apologize for the wait.

Jasper: It's alright. What kind of day did you have?

Vesper: It was excellent. Finally, one of my family members found a job.

Jasper: Thankfully. I'm overwhelmed for you.

Vesper: I'm at a loss for what to do now.

Jasper: What?

Vesper: I should be working too.

Jasper: If only we were close in real life, you wouldn't have to worry about money anymore because I already have a lot of money. I already have a car, a house, even a private jet.

Vesper found it hard to believe but the game items and equipment that Jasper owned were all limited and very expensive even though she couldn't afford to buy them but her husband easily gave them to her.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
