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.

Chapter 8
The mist from the fountain drifted across the plaza, chilling the air.
Dasia stood in the shadow of an oak tree, staring at the man on the steps.
The black trench coat. The broad shoulders. The suffocating aura of arrogance.
"Hell no," Dasia muttered under her breath. She grabbed the edge of her hood and yanked it down, hiding her eyes in the shadows.
Landon didn't notice her reaction. He let go of her hoodie and sprinted across the plaza like a missile.
"Carlton! I'm here!" Landon's high-pitched voice echoed over the sound of the falling water.
On the steps, Carlton Gordon looked up. A flash of irritation crossed his handsome face. He shoved his phone into his pocket and walked down the marble stairs.
As Landon crashed into his legs, Carlton put a large hand flat against the boy's forehead, stopping him from wiping his snotty nose on the expensive wool coat.
"I told the driver to get coffee, and you vanish?" Carlton's voice was a low, dangerous rumble. "The old man is about to blow up my phone. Are you trying to give him a heart attack?"
Landon pouted, rubbing his nose. "I got lost! And some bad guys tried to beat me up!"
The irritation in Carlton's eyes vanished, replaced instantly by a lethal, freezing intensity. His posture shifted from lazy to predatory.
"Who?" Carlton demanded, his voice dropping an octave.
Landon turned around and pointed proudly at the shadows under the tree. "That big brother saved me! He beat up ten guys!"
Carlton's eyes tracked Landon's finger. His gaze cut across the plaza and locked onto the figure standing in the shade.
He recognized the cheap black hoodie immediately. He recognized the aggressive stance, the hands shoved deep into the pockets.
Carlton's pupils contracted. A dark, twisted smile slowly spread across his face.
He stepped away from Landon and walked toward Dasia. His leather shoes clicked against the stone pavement, slow and deliberate.
Dasia didn't move. She watched him approach, her heart beating a slow, angry rhythm.
Carlton stopped exactly three feet away. He looked down at her, his blue eyes filled with absolute, toxic contempt.
"You really went all out," Carlton sneered. His voice dripped with poison. "The little stunt at the train station wasn't enough? So you followed me to my school and used my little brother to get my attention?"
Dasia didn't even blink.
"If your paranoia is this severe," Dasia said, her raspy voice cutting through the air like a rusty blade, "I suggest you check yourself into a psych ward."
Carlton's jaw clenched. The muscles in his neck jumped. "You think I'm stupid? You stalked me here. You orchestrated this whole 'hero' act. It's pathetic."
"What you believe," Dasia said, turning her body away from him, "is none of my damn business."
She took a step to leave.
Suddenly, Landon darted around Carlton and threw his arms around Dasia's leg, anchoring her to the spot.
"Don't go!" Landon yelled. "You didn't tell me your name! I want to play games with you!"
Dasia stiffened. She tried to pry the boy's fingers off her jeans, but she was afraid of hurting him.
Carlton watched his brother cling to the stalker. His face darkened with fury. He reached out to snatch Landon by the collar.
Landon ducked under his brother's arm. He unzipped his small backpack, pulled out a thick black marker, and grabbed Dasia's hand.
Before Dasia could pull away, Landon uncapped the marker and scribbled a string of numbers across the back of her pale hand.
"That's Carlton's phone number!" Landon announced proudly. "You have to add us! We'll carry you in ranked!"
Dasia stared at the wet black ink staining her skin. She looked up at Carlton. His face was a mask of pure, unadulterated rage.
The corner of Dasia's mouth twitched. She ripped her hand away from Landon, turned on her heel, and walked away without looking back.

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.

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.
