The Fall of a King
Ethan Cross had built an empire of crime—drugs, weapons, and assassinations. The police feared him, politicians obeyed him, and even his enemies respected him. But in a world where everyone either feared or wanted to use him, one girl changed everything.
Her name was Sophia Carter. She wasn't a politician, a cop, or a business partner. She was different. Unlike everyone else, she looked him in the eye without fear.
For the first time, Ethan felt something real. Love.
Because of her, he did the unthinkable—he left everything behind. He shut down his illegal businesses, gave up his criminal empire, and used all his money to build a legitimate company. A fresh start.
But the past never forgets.
His enemies saw him as weak. They attacked his company, his employees, his life. Every time he tried to escape his past, it pulled him back. One by one, his old partners turned against him. The same politicians and police who once feared him now hunted him down.
The empire he built was crumbling. His enemies wanted revenge. His former allies wanted his money. And the police finally saw a chance to take him down.
But Ethan wasn't just going to sit and watch. If they wanted war… he would give them one.
