The Heir They Threw Away

The Story

Adrian returns to the Ashford estate, only to face starvation, false accusations, and violence while the family lavishes their adopted son, Damon, with affection. On Damon’s birthday, Adrian is poisoned and beaten to death before waking up years in the past. He immediately leaves the house permanently. Leveraging his intimate knowledge of upcoming events, he constructs a massive empire that eclipses the family that discarded him. As they witness his ascent, they eventually uncover the truth about his abuse and Damon’s deceptions. The family then pleads with him to return. Adrian rejects their apology, leaving them behind as his power grows.
