They lost everything, their money, their fame, their influence, but this will not be the end.

Ian Lim was born the heir to one of the nation’s richest and most powerful families, but that title was now long gone. 

After betrayal, illness, and sheer bad luck plagued his family, Ian lost everything. When one misfortune after another hit the Lim family the golden prince became the fallen prince, from servants attending to his every need he was now a servant himself.

As the true colors of the people around him came to the surface, Ian swore revenge. One day, like a phoenix, he would have the Lim family rise back up again. And everyone that ever looked down at him, would get their just deserts.

“Why are you doing this?” The imposing man in front of him asked. Ian could feel the power and authority radiating from him, he was clearly someone important. “You didn’t have to save her, and you are clearly drinking for a reason, so why help?”

“Does it matter?” Ian hissed, he wasn’t in the mood to bow down to some rich man. He had enough on his plate today to care.

He was surprised when the man suddenly laughed. Ian was expecting this man to have him thrown out, not to be amused by what he had just said.

“I like you.” The intimidating figure finally spoke. Ian couldn’t help but look up at him in curiosity, most powerful men didn’t like being talked back to. “Marco, get his details. I see a future for this one.”

For some reason Ian knew at that moment that his life would change, that he would no longer need to settle for rich kid’s scraps. Something about this man’s words seemed like a promise to help.

In a world where the poor just get poorer, and the rich get richer, can Ian go against the tide and rise again? 

Can he fight the disgrace and shame his family faced when they were thrown out and shunned?

Can the disgraced heir rise again and take back what was taken from him?

Rise of the Disgraced Heir

Ian knew that he had to stay focused today. He couldn't let his argument with Jas cloud his mind.

Today he needed to push his personal problems to the back of his mind and work as he was expected to.

"You could have taken the day off." Camilla told Ian as they waited outside in his car. "We all would have understood."

"I wouldn't have forgiven myself if I placed my personal problems ahead of my job." Ian said with a frown. "It's not even a big deal. After you and Seth left my place I was able to calm down and think things through."

"So how are you feeling?" Camilla asked as she gave him a worried glance.

"I won't lie and tell you I'm back to how I was before I spoke to Jas." Ian sighed as he checked the audio coming from Manuel's mic. "But I am better than I was last night."

The phone on the dashboard suddenly vibrated, prompting Ian to pick it up and read the message.
