I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was.

As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

[DISCONTINUED] Warning: This story isn’t for the faint of heart. The main character is shameless, crude, and unapologetically ruthless. If you want a clean-cut hero who plays by the rules, this isn’t your tale. But if you crave raw power, dark humor, and the rise of a forgotten legacy—buckle up. Blake Orpheus never knew who he truly was. Raised in hardship and instinct, he had no idea his bloodline was anything but ordinary—until the truth was ripped from the shadows. He is the son of Erebos, the Primordial God of Darkness. That revelation wasn’t salvation. It was a curse. In a world ruled by Great Houses, divine cultivators, and ancient politics, Blake becomes a target. His ancestral House—Orpheus—was erased from history by those who feared its power. But Blake carries that legacy, and the darkness within him is awakening. Thrown into a deadly game, Blake must navigate a society where power defines worth and survival is never guaranteed. Cultivators rise through brutal combat, mastery of ancient techniques, and divine inheritance. But within this world, betrayal is currency, and legacy is a double-edged sword. Blake’s journey isn’t a solo one. The sealing of the Shadow Realm—the Orpheus homeland—scattered his people across the realms. Some formed secret Great Houses, fighting to survive while hunted by enemies thirsty for their fall. Together with these allies, Blake begins his climb—not for glory, but to unseal his shattered homeworld, reclaim his throne, and reunite with his family. But every step forward is met with resistance. Rivals want him dead. Ancient forces seek to erase his bloodline. And power, once gained, is never without consequence. To survive, Blake must embrace his dark heritage, grow stronger, smarter, and more ruthless than those who hunt him. He fights dirty. He talks back. He’s fiercely loyal and utterly unrelenting. This isn’t a tale of saints. It’s the rise of a shadow-born legend who will burn the world down before he bows to it. The world tried to forget the name Orpheus. Blake will make them remember.
