Ashes To Authority

Elio Novan has it all-wealth, power, and the success of YUI, the world's leading tech giant. But beneath the surface, his life is anything but perfect. Haunted by a tragic past and a betrayal that left him shattered, Elio has built walls around his heart, using his company as both a shield and a weapon.

Now, on the day of his wedding, Elio should feel victorious. Marrying Laure, his childhood best friend and first love, should be a dream come true. But this isn't a love story-it's a carefully crafted arrangement designed to acquire HBM... and to keep hiding the truth of who Elio really is. As old wounds resurface and buried emotions come to light, Elio and Laure find themselves caught in a web of lies, pain, and a love they thought was lost forever.

In a world where nothing is as it seems, can two broken souls find their way back to each other, or will the secrets of their past destroy them both?
