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

Before driving off, Ian decided that he needed to speak to his mother. He felt like there was something he needed to discuss with her.

He checked the time and was happy to see that it wasn't too late in the night. She would probably still be awake, washing the dishes or doing some house chores.

Ian dialed her number and waited for her to pick up.

She seemed to be quite busy since it took a few rings before his mom finally picked up the phone and Ian heard her happy yet tired voice.

"So my independent and successful son decided to call." Constance Lim greeted him over the phone.

"Hey mom, sorry I haven't called or been over for a while, things have been, ummmm tough and hectic." Ian said.
