Everyone calls Elijah Mthembu useless. A burden. A shame to the family he married into. Forced into a loveless marriage with Naledi Anglis, he is mocked, insulted, and treated like a ghost in his own home.
But Elijah is a ghost — not the kind that haunts the past, but the kind that moves empires without being seen.
When a call shatters his quiet suffering, Elijah learns the truth about his bloodline. The man no one respects is, in secret, the heir to a global dynasty of unimaginable power.
He chooses to remain hidden. Not out of fear, but strategy.
As the world unknowingly bends to his silent hand, Elijah begins reshaping the destiny of the woman who once despised him. The people who looked down on him are about to discover that the man they ignored… might just be the most powerful figure on Earth.
But the closer Naledi gets to success, the more dangerous things become. Rivals, temptation, and betrayal close in — and Elijah must decide how far he’s willing to go… to protect the woman he’s slowly learning to love.
A thrilling tale of hidden power, slow-burn romance, and one man’s rise from insulted son-in-law to untouchable legend.
