After an accident, a gifted kid, Bobby, becomes the richest person alive. From that day on, he embarks on an overpowered life—making fortunes while being adorable. No one would ever guess that this little one is actually the mastermind behind a financial conglomerate.

My dad called me right after I got paid. He said my little brother needed money for school, Grandma had medical bills, and there was still the rent, water, and electricity.

A car horn blared, and I quickly raised the security bar. Just one look and you could tell how expensive the car was. It belonged to the boss, who had a thing for amputees. Damn it.

On the third anniversary of her marriage, Nora Bryan, a devoted housewife, was greeted by a betrayal of the most cruel kind. Her husband's affair with her former mentor, the usurpation of her family company, and a vile conspiracy to erase her social existence entirely. "Everything that was taken from me...

Right when everyone’s waiting for me to finally break— A fleet of luxury cars from a thousand-billion-dollar empire rolls up to my door.
