Kaiden Toliver's life is shattered when he is accused of involving the company in fraudulent activities. Vowing revenge, Kaiden returns five years later, wealthy and determined to destroy those who wronged him. He takes over Macaulay Industries, but his rise to power sparks the wrath of Caleb Montenegro, who seeks to reclaim the fortune Kaiden inherited. As alliances form and enemies close in, Kaiden must outmaneuver them all to stay on top. Will he emerge victorious, or will his quest for revenge consume him?

Chapter 1 Opening Losses

"You're firing me?" Kaiden Toliver asked.

He was in total disbelief as he gazed at the man dressed in a navy blue suit standing before him. It was his father-in-law, Elias Macaulay who had a grim look on his face as he stared at him.

"Didn't you get that?" He demanded.

Kaiden was confused. Why would he fire him all of a sudden?

Elias' blonde hair shone in the morning sun that washed into the office. His ocean blue eyes gazed at hi

as they pierced through his soul. His nostrils flared up in rage, and that made Kaiden know immediately that he wasn't kidding.

"I don't, sir."

Elias shook his head in disbelief. He pushed the blue file that was in front of him towards him.

"Open it."

Kaiden obeyed and got hold of the file, flipping through it. As he gazed at what was in it, his eyes lit up in shock. There were documents in there which stated that he had embezzled the company's funds. Kaiden was perplexed at this. He dropped the file and gazed at Elias who was now standing by the glass wall with his back to him.

"I don't understand," Kaiden confessed.

"You think I'm stupid?" Elias asked as he turned to face him.

Kaiden cranked an eyebrow at him.

"No? I'm just questioning the legitimacy of these documents. It says here that I..."

"Are you questioning the evidence that is out there? After everything I've done for you, Kaiden. This is the way you can repay me?" Elias asked now with his hands placed on the desk and with his eyes fixed on him.

Kaiden gulped hard.

"There must be some sort of misunderstanding," Kaiden tried to explain. "I would never do such a thing to you."

Elias chuckled and shook his head slowly.

"You think I'm that gullible, Kaiden?" He asked. "I always knew that this would happen someday. I should never have let you marry my daughter. What am I going to tell her?"

Kaiden's heart skipped a beat as his mind came across his wife, Uriah. What was she doing to think of him when this got to her? Surely she was going to believe that he would steal from them? There was no point in stealing funds from the company when he was already content with what he had; being married to her.

There had to be some mistake in this. But Kaiden knew that this wasn't going to be enough to convince Elias. Elias had always disliked him from the first day that Uriah had introduced him to the family. He had always hated that she had married someone so average like him. How did Kaiden know this? Elias had said it to his face countless times. There was no way that he would skip an opportunity to get rid of him like this.

There was no question that someone inside the company did this to him. He had been framed, but would Elias believe him? Not a change in the world.

Kaiden clenched his jaws as he looked up at Elias who was now back at the glass wall. The morning sun washed into the room bathing the office with its golden light and also illuminating Elias' gold blond hair.

"Do you really think I would steal from you? I work hard for this company every single day. I wouldn't dare."

Elias shook his head with a soft chuckle before turning to him.

"I know you, Kaiden. You're useless. My daughter literally made you the man you are today," Elias said, turning to him. "Why wouldn't you be enticed about the idea of stealing something from the company? I mean, you thought that nobody would notice because you work in the finance department."

"I wouldn't dare!" Kaiden said, slamming his fist on the wooden deck. "I wouldn't."

"But you did, Kaiden. The evidence is right there."

Kaiden, all dressed in a black suit, tried to control his emotions but they weren't working. He was getting angry that Elias wouldn't listen to him for one second.

After everything he went through in his hands, was this how it was going to end? There was no coming back from this. He was going to get fired.

"The only thing you can do right now is accept the truth, Kaiden. You stole from me."

Kaiden closed his eyes and thought about it for a few moments. If he accepted it, there was a possibility he would go to prison. And if he didn't, he would still face the same fate. The only thing that he could do now was tell the truth.

"I didn't do it, sir. I would never steal from you."

Elias came back to the desk and shook his head. He took a seat and placed his hands on the desk.

"I'm disappointed in you, Kaiden. I have always been disappointed since the day my daughter married you, but you have gone too far. You leave me with no choice."

"Just let me prove to you that I'm innocent," Kaiden said.

"There's nothing to prove Kaiden."

Kaiden clenched his jaws as he heard that. There was no going back from here. He was getting fired, but he still had his dignity intact. He wasn't to accept the fault for something he never did. Elias may not have framed him, but Kaiden was certain he knew who had done it.

"I'll get my things then," Kaiden said, rising from the chair.

"That won't be necessary."

And with that, the door opened and two security guards stepped into the office with two boxes containing all of his stuff.

Kaiden got it from them and turned to Elias.

"This isn't over," he said.

Elias chuckled and leaned back on his desk.

"It is already over, Kaiden and I won. Now leave my office, before I call security."

Kaiden clenched his jaws and looked at all his stuff in the boxes.

He turned back to Elias one more time before stepping out of the office.

Elias picked up his phone and dialed a number. The line only rang once.

"Hello?"

"It is done," Elias said.

"He's gone."

Fired by his own father-in-law, David Lennox, after being falsely accused of embezzling company funds, Romeo Carson's life falls apart in a single week. His wife, Sophie, divorces him and kicks him out of their home. Desperate and defeated, Romeo seeks refuge with his best friend, Jonathan Piroe, in Seattle. Upon arriving in Seattle, a seemingly insignificant stop at a store changes everything. Urged by a cashier to buy a lottery ticket, Romeo reluctantly agrees, not realizing this small act will turn his life around. Six days later, he discovers he's the winner, and overnight, he becomes a multimillionaire. But with newfound wealth comes a burning desire for revenge. Three years later, Romeo returns to San Diego with a master plan. He secretly buys a stake in Lennox Industries and makes a shocking appearance at one of the Lennox family's lavish parties. To their surprise, he reveals himself as their new business partner. Romeo's path crosses with Roxanne Wilson, a woman in deep trouble with a dangerous Japanese mafia leader, Kishimoto Hatake. With Romeo's help, Roxanne retrieves her daughter and, in gratitude, becomes his loyal attorney. With Jonathan and his immense wealth by his side, Romeo orchestrates a hostile takeover of David's company. He ruthlessly blackmails the shareholders, seizing control and leaving David and Sophie devastated as their empire crumbles. But Romeo's rise to power doesn't go unnoticed. Fiona Lawrence, a sharp detective from San Diego, is hot on his trail, suspecting his involvement in a mafia-related murder. Meanwhile, Romeo faces a new threat from within his latest business venture, an automobile company. Connor Braedon, a major shareholder, is plotting with others to bring Romeo down. Tamara Colton, another shareholder, tips off Romeo about the brewing conspiracy, giving him just enough time to thwart their plans. With enemies closing in from all sides, Romeo is determined to stay ahead of the game and ensure his rivals never get the upper hand. BLURB: Romeo Carson had it all-until betrayal shattered his life. Accused of embezzlement by his own father-in-law, fired, divorced, and left with nothing, Romeo's world crumbles. But a twist of fate and a lucky lottery ticket transform him into a multimillionaire, fueling his thirst for revenge. Three years later, Romeo returns to San Diego with a secret stake in Lennox Industries and a daring plan to take down the family that wronged him. As he battles ruthless enemies, including a cunning detective and vengeful shareholders, Romeo's rise to power is as dangerous as it is thrilling. With new allies by his side and a dark conspiracy unfolding, Romeo must outsmart his foes before they can destroy everything he's built. In a high-stakes game of power, money, and revenge, Romeo Carson won't rest until he's claimed victory-or lost it all.
