The Boy Beneath
Hidden beneath the marble halls and shimmering chandeliers of one of the world’s wealthiest families lies a secret so dark, it was never meant to see the light.
At only twelve years old, a nameless boy lives imprisoned in the depths of a luxurious estate—a child genius whose uncanny ability to predict financial markets transformed a once-poor family into a global empire. Fed only bread, water, and stacks of financial documents, the boy knows nothing of the outside world, only numbers, fear, and silence. To the world, the family is respectable. To him, they are captors.
Enter Cain—an elite undercover agent known for her flawless track record and unshakable resolve. On her final mission before retirement, she infiltrates the family posing as a maid, tasked with exposing a rumored financial crime. But what she discovers is far worse than she imagined.
As Cain unravels the twisted truth and forms a fragile bond with the forgotten prodigy, she must make a choice: complete her mission, or save a boy whose mind is both miracle and curse.
A slow-burn psychological thriller laced with dark drama and moral ambiguity, The Basement Oracle explores the cost of exploitation, the shadow of genius, and what it means to be truly free.
