The Disguised Girl: Captivating The Billionaire King
Dasia's twin brother, Gerald, was an e-sports prodigy, the rising star of the Glory team.
But during a crucial moment, he was framed by his own teammates. They orchestrated a trap that completely destroyed his reputation and left his right hand brutally crushed.
Instead of getting him medical help, the club threw him out into the freezing rain, bleeding and disgraced. The manager labeled him useless trash and slapped him with a five-million-dollar termination fee to bleed him dry. Stripped of his pro status, the wealthy bullies at his prep school relentlessly targeted him, mocking his crippled hand and beating him down.
Dasia watched her twin brother cry in his room, his life and dreams shattered by the people he trusted. A violent, suffocating rage boiled in her chest. How could they smile while crushing his hand? Why should the victim be treated like a rotting piece of garbage while the perpetrators get rich and celebrated?
She didn't shed a single tear. She stood in front of the mirror, took a pair of scissors, and ruthlessly hacked off her waist-length hair. She wrapped her chest in coarse medical bandages until her ribs screamed, and pulled on his oversized black hoodie.
"Everything you took from him, I am going to take back with interest."
The girl in the mirror was gone. She was Gerald now. She secretly passed the brutal online tryouts for Glory's biggest rival, the elite Blackflame team, and signed their official contract. The revenge had officially begun.

Dasia looked at the poster by her boots. The corner of her mouth twitched under the mask.
She bent down. Her long fingers pinched the edge of the glossy paper. She lifted it off the filthy floor.
Fifty feet away, Alex glanced over his shoulder. He saw Dasia holding the poster. A smug, victorious sneer stretched across his face.
"Look at that," Alex said loudly, making sure Carlton heard him. "I told you he was just a psycho fan. Acting tough, and now he's picking up your trash like a good little dog."
Carlton stopped walking. He turned his head slightly. His blue eyes locked onto Dasia through the thinning crowd.
Felix groaned from the bench. "Are you crazy? Drop that!"
Dasia didn't look at Felix. She didn't look at Carlton.
Her hands moved in a blur. She crushed the thick, expensive poster into a tight, jagged ball. The sound of tearing paper echoed sharply.
She raised her arm. With a flick of her wrist, she launched the paper ball through the air.
It sailed over the heads of two passing commuters and dropped perfectly into the center of a hazardous waste bin three meters away.
"Trash belongs in the trash," Dasia said. Her tone was flat, stating a simple fact.
Alex's face flushed a violent, angry red. He looked like he had been slapped across the face.
Carlton's grip on his silver lighter tightened until his knuckles turned white. The disgust in his eyes ignited into a predatory, burning anger.
Dasia shoved her hands back into her pockets. She turned her back on the King of e-sports and walked toward the exit doors.
Felix shrieked, scrambling off the bench and sprinting after her.
The taxi ride to the Upper East Side was a nightmare.
Felix screamed until his voice gave out. He slammed his hands against the back of the driver's seat, accusing Dasia of destroying her brother's life and his own career. "And why the hell are we going to this preppy high school? !" Felix shrieked. "You are a disgraced pro now! You should be hiding!" Dasia kept her eyes on the window. She had made a promise to Gerald. She would finish his senior year and secure the diploma he had worked so hard for, maintaining his cover no matter how much she loathed the place.
Dasia pulled a pair of cheap wired earphones from her pocket. She shoved them into her ears and cranked the volume on her phone to the maximum.
Heavy metal guitars screamed against her eardrums. She closed her eyes.
The image of her twin brother, Gerald, flashed behind her eyelids. She saw his hands covered in blood, his face pale as his team threw him out into the rain.
Her hands, hidden inside her sleeves, curled into tight fists. Her fingernails dug into her palms until the skin broke. The sharp pain grounded her, keeping the violent rage from boiling over.
Thirty minutes later, the taxi jerked to a stop outside a massive wrought-iron gate.
Dasia ripped the earphones out. She pushed the door open. The bright afternoon sun made her squint.
Felix rolled down the window. "Listen to me! This prep school is full of rich kids. Keep your head down. Do not cause trouble!"
Dasia slammed the door shut in his face. She adjusted the strap of her keyboard bag and walked onto the campus.
The hallways of the prep school were crowded. The moment Dasia stepped inside, the chatter died down.
Students stared at the dark, brooding boy in the oversized hoodie. A group of bullies who used to shove Gerald into lockers froze, intimidated by the cold, murderous aura radiating from her. They stepped aside, clearing a path.
Dasia found Gerald's locker. She spun the combination dial from memory. Click. The metal door swung open.
"Holy crap! Gerald? Is that you, bro?"
A loud, obnoxious voice echoed behind her.
Dasia turned her head. A boy with bleached blonde hair stood there, his jaw hanging open. Cody Brogan. Gerald's only friend in this hellhole.
Cody circled her, his eyes wide. He reached out to touch her chopped hair.
Dasia shot him a look so cold his hand snapped back to his side.
"Did you go dark after getting kicked off the team?" Cody whispered, vibrating with excitement. "Because it looks badass. Good timing, too. We have a massive fight in the parking lot after school."
Dasia shoved a textbook into the locker and slammed the door shut. The metal banged loudly.
She looked at Cody. A dark, bloodthirsty smile curved her lips.
"A fight?" Dasia said softly. "Perfect."

A family-arranged marriage forced these two complete opposites into the same life.
On their wedding night, Julian openly made out with a young model at a nightclub.
For the first time, Clara cast aside her propriety, slapping him and demanding a divorce on the spot.
But before the next day was over, their families had forced them to remarry.
This time, Julian managed to stay faithful for a month before he cheated again.
Clara filed for divorce once more, cutting ties with him completely.
However, that very same day, it was revealed that Clara was not the real daughter of the Sterling family, and she was thrown out.
At her lowest point, Julian found her and solemnly promised to protect her from then on.
They remarried again, and from that day forward, the scandals surrounding Julian ceased.
Everyone said Clara was lucky. Even her best friend insisted that Julian had truly settled down, and Clara believed it.
Until she saw him in a hospital corridor, holding her best friend's hand, his voice strained with deep emotion, "I never liked her. You're the one I've always loved!"
It turned out all of his tenderness had been a lie.
This time, she walked away and never looked back.
And the man who had once treated her as disposable only realized after she was gone that he had long since drowned in her quiet love, unable to escape.

I was an intern nurse working exhausting shifts, yet my mother constantly forced me into blind dates with wealthy, arrogant men to secure our family's social standing.
During a terrifying hospital lockdown, an assassin disguised as a doctor held a scalpel to my throat. I was almost killed, but a high-ranking military colonel threw his own body down a flight of concrete stairs to shield me.
I survived with cuts and bruises, but when I went home, my mother didn't care about my near-death experience. She was only furious that I had rushed out on my blind date with Preston, a rich financial analyst.
She forced me to meet him to apologize. When Preston grabbed my arm, bruised me, and mocked my attack as a pathetic lie, my mother still took his side.
"Men get angry," she told me coldly. "It's your job not to provoke them. You will beg for his forgiveness, or you are no longer welcome in this house."
I had narrowly escaped an assassin, yet my own family was willing to feed me to a monster just for a fat paycheck and neighborhood gossip.
My heart went completely dead.
So, when the intimidating Colonel appeared, offering me maximum military protection through a sudden marriage, I didn't hesitate.
I walked back into my parents' house and calmly slapped a crisp marriage certificate onto the coffee table.
"I won't be apologizing to Preston. I got married today."

Clara came home from a fourteen-hour board meeting to the sound of a piercing scream in the playroom.
When she rushed in, she found her husband, Chadwick, kneeling on the floor in a panic.
But he wasn't looking at their five-year-old son, Leo, who had a massive bleeding welt on his forehead.
Instead, Chadwick was trembling as he held the nanny's daughter, Autumn, who barely had a microscopic scratch.
"She needs ice. And antibacterial ointment," Chadwick snapped, carrying the nanny's daughter away and leaving his bleeding son behind.
From that moment, the nightmare only escalated.
Chadwick ordered Clara to cook a three-hour meal for the nanny's kid, threw away Leo's favorite toys because Autumn sneezed, and even secretly took the nanny and her daughter on Leo's promised Disney trip.
The final humiliation came at the Met Gala.
Right before their sponsor speech, Chadwick received a frantic call from the nanny claiming Autumn was having a panic attack.
He abandoned Clara in front of hundreds of flashing cameras, sprinting out of the ballroom.
Clara stood completely alone, the humiliation eating through her veins like acid.
She couldn't understand how a father could call the nanny's kid his "little princess" while watching his own son cry.
Why was he treating his own flesh and blood like garbage just to play savior to another woman's child?
Suddenly, the blinding camera flashes were blocked by a massive shadow.
Erasmo Chase, the heir to New York's largest financial dynasty, stepped out of the darkness and shielded her.
"A man like that is unworthy of your grief, Ms. Best," he whispered, pressing a silk handkerchief into her trembling hand.
Looking at the sharp profile of the powerful man beside her, Clara's shock hardened into a lethal, cold fury.
She was going to dump her family's shares, crash the board, and make Chadwick lose absolutely everything.

The mangled car teetered on the cliff's edge, my leg crushed, gasoline fumes thick in the air. My husband, Holden, stood safe on the highway, directing the rescue – but not for me. He was saving her, the woman in the passenger seat, leaving me and our unborn child to the ocean below.
I woke trapped in the crushed Maybach, leg pinned. The cliff loomed; the driver's seat was empty.
Holden, safe outside, directed paramedics past me to Giana, his "most valuable asset," ordering her rescue first.
I watched him comfort Giana, oblivious, as the car slid. My baby barely viable. Holden offered a black card for silence; Giana gloated.
Ten years of devotion, a cruel lie. Rage fueled me: how could he abandon his wife and child?
I swore a venomous oath: never again an accessory. I flicked his card away, shielded my pregnancy, and promised my baby escape.
