Millionth Dollar

In the year 2099, the world stands on the brink of a technological revolution. Maxwell Harrison Carter, a brilliant yet enigmatic tech prodigy, unveils Aetheria—a boundless virtual world powered by cutting-edge VR technology and neural interface systems. But Aetheria is more than just a game; it’s a new reality, a digital empire where power, wealth, and influence transcend borders. Backed by the mysterious Business Domination System (BDS), Maxwell isn't just playing to win—he’s playing to dominate. With missions guiding his path, rewards fueling his empire, and an unshakable vision driving him forward, he begins building a legacy that blurs the line between reality and the virtual realm. As governments, corporations, and shadowy factions move to seize control of Aetheria, Maxwell must navigate corporate espionage, cyber warfare, and political manipulation. With his loyal team by his side—Adrian, Mia, Isabella, Dr. Lin Mei, and Ethan—he pushes the limits of technology, strategy, and ambition. But power comes with a price, and not everyone wants to see Maxwell succeed. With billions of lives, trillions of dollars, and the future of two worlds hanging in the balance, Maxwell must make ruthless decisions to protect his vision and outmaneuver every rival. The question remains: Can one man truly build an empire that bridges the real and the virtual? Aetheria: Rise of the Digital Empire is an epic tale of ambition, technology, and the relentless pursuit of power in a world where the line between game and reality no longer exists. "This isn't just a game. It's the future. And I will control it." — Maxwell Harrison Carter

Connor McDonald lieferte in seinem Nebenjob Lebensmittel aus. Eines Tages musste er Essen in ein Hotel liefern, das als Sex-Hotel berüchtigt war. Als sich die Zimmertür öffnete, traute er seinen Augen nicht. Seine Freundin war halbnackt und kuschelte mit einem reichen Jungen aus ihrer Klasse. "Nun, da du es herausgefunden hast, ist es wohl an der Zeit, dass du es erfährst", spottete der reiche Junge. "Deine Freundin ist jetzt mit mir zusammen. "Connor, gib mich auf. Du bist ein Waisenkind und hast kein Geld. Selbst wenn du für den Rest deines Lebens Essen lieferst, kannst du nicht mit ihm konkurrieren. Du bist nicht gut genug für mich. Lass uns Schluss machen", sagte seine Freundin. Connor war völlig verblüfft und fragte sich, warum Gott arme Menschen daran hindert, eine normale Beziehung zu führen. Gerade als er sich in seinem Schmerz suhlte, klingelte plötzlich sein Telefon. Er erhielt eine interessante Textnachricht. ["Sie haben 1.000.000.000,00 Dollar auf Ihrem Konto erhalten." "Was zum Teufel?" rief Connor aus. "Wer zum Teufel hat mir gerade 1 Milliarde Dollar überwiesen?"

Von ihrer Stiefmutter versteigert und verkauft, wurde sie ein Verkaufsobjekt. Er stürzte sich brutal auf sie und zwang sie, den Vertrag zu unterschreiben. "Frau, ich habe dir alles gegeben, was du brauchst. Warum bist du immer noch nicht zufrieden?", fragte er und kniff ihr ins Kinn. Sie versuchte, sich loszureißen, und weigerte sich, ihm in die Augen zu sehen. Als ihre Identität aufgedeckt wurde und sie die Erbin einer angesehenen Familie wurde, wurde ihr klar, dass sie immer noch ein Vogel in seinem Käfig war. Sie fiel tiefer und tiefer... Erst am Ende verstand sie, dass sie längst die Königin seines Reiches geworden war...

"M... Marissa! Sind das meine Kinder?" Rafaels Augen wichen nicht von den niedlichen Gesichtern der Kinder. "Nein, Rafael. Das sind sie nicht", sagte Marissa mit einem gespielten Lächeln, "Es sind nicht deine. Weißt du noch?", sie klimperte dramatisch mit den Wimpern, "Wir waren nie verheiratet!" Marissa Aarons ältere Schwester Valerie Aaron hat ihren blinden Freund an ihrem Hochzeitstag sitzen lassen und ist abgehauen. Um ihr Gesicht zu wahren, flehte Marissas Familie sie an, Raphael Sinclair zu heiraten. Die Ironie dabei? Sie durfte ihrem blinden Ehemann nicht sagen, dass sie nicht Valerie, sondern Merissa Aaron war. Am Tag von Raphaels erfolgreicher Augenoperation erfuhr Marissa, dass Valerie zurück war, um ihren rechtmäßigen Platz als Sinclaires Schwiegertochter einzunehmen. Marissa versuchte ihrem Mann zu erklären, dass sie diejenige war, die mit ihm verheiratet war, aber er glaubte ihr nicht. Anstatt ihn weiter zu überzeugen, beschloss die untröstliche Merissa, die Stadt zu verlassen, ohne ihm ihr Geheimnis zu verraten. Raphael Sinclair war die klassische Definition von umwerfend schön und der einzige Erbe der Sinclair-Industriegruppe. Was würde er tun, wenn er erfuhr, dass die Frau, die ihm die ganze Zeit ihre Liebe und ihren Körper angeboten hatte, nicht Valerie, sondern ihre jüngere Schwester Marissa Aaron war? Wie würde er reagieren, wenn er erfährt, dass er der Vater der Babys ist, die Marissa in ihrem Bauch trägt? Würde er Marissa nachgehen und sie zurückgewinnen? Und die Millionen-Dollar-Frage! Würde Marissa ihm jemals verzeihen und ihn wieder lieben können?
