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 decided to drive them to the bar rather than to let John drive for them. He didn't want to hurt John's feelings that he wasn't invited and Ian didn't want to impose on Seth to ask him to invite John either.

"You ready?" Ian asked as he knocked on Camilla's door.

"Yep." Camilla said as she stepped out in a from fitting black dress.

"You look, umm. . ." Ian was at a loss for words. For some reason, from the moment he met Camilla he didn't see her as a woman, just as someone like a sister.

"Close your mouth, you aren't my type." Camilla teased as she walked to the elevator, swaying her hips.

"You look like a girl, pretty." Ian said as he cleared his throat and pressed the elevator button.

"You're crazy, I've always been a girl." Camilla said as she rolled her eyes and got into the elevator.

"I know." Ian said with a laugh. "And trust me, you're not my type either."
