"Alethea and the Billionaires" Dark Billionaire Romance | High Society Alethea Vione was born into a world that worships power and money—two things she never had. Abandoned, betrayed, and sold to the highest bidder, her life became a game played by cruel billionaires and aristocrats who only saw her body, never her soul. They wanted to control her. They wanted to break her. But they forgot— Even a shattered girl can be dangerous when she learns to bleed with grace. Behind every forced smile, Alethea hid her pain. Behind every designer gown, she carried her scars. And behind the madness, one man quietly watched— not as a predator, but as a protector. In a world where loyalty is rare and lust is currency, will Alethea become their perfect prey, or rise as the woman they never expected to fear?

“In Varentis, trust is a luxury. Mercy is a weakness. And a knife solves more problems than gold ever could.” Darian Valcoris once had a name that mattered. Now he’s just another body in the pit, bleeding for coin, surrounded by criminals, watched by nobles who forgot his face. Broken, betrayed, and one mistake from death, Darian claws his way through the underworld of Varentis, a mountain metropolis built on secrets, steel, and blood, which serves as one of the three Palatinates of the Empire. But Darian isn’t here to survive. He’s here to take everything. From the gutters to the noble quarter, he’ll rise, through pit fights, heists, street wars, and whispered conspiracies. Alongside a crew of dangerous misfits, Darian plays a game that no one expects him to win. Because they don’t know who he's willing to become. Welcome to the Empire of Newfyre.
