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

"Ready?" Seth asked as he found Ian leaning against his own car in the parking lot.

"He's been anxious since lunch." Camilla pointed out as she joined them. She, unlike Ian, had been waiting in the air conditioned lounge nearby.

"My men have already prepared them and we will talk to the Juans in my office." Seth told Ian.

Ian simply nodded as he made his way to the car's driver's side and got in.

Seth looked at Camilla who simply shrugged in response before getting into the back seat of the car.

"I forgot to mention." Ian said as he started the car. "Marco and I got the government to let Manuel and his father see his sister and mother one last time before they are sent away."

"Don't they still have to stand trial?" Seth asked.

"They do, but there is a chance that the mother and daughter will not want to see either of them once they have made their decision." Ian told Seth as he backed the car up and drove out of the basement parking.
