Found wandering alone after a mysterious incident, he is adopted by the compassionate Chris Lynch family, who raise him as their own. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence and determination, Charles rises from humble beginnings to become one of the youngest and most successful entrepreneurs in City A. Just as he prepares to enjoy the rewards of years of hard work, his world comes crashing down. Five years later, the global business landscape is dominated by a mysterious figure known only as The Alpha, an enigmatic billionaire whose influence extends across finance, technology, shipping, energy, and international politics. His true identity is unknown even to world leaders, yet his decisions shape markets and governments. Behind this carefully guarded persona is Charles, who transformed his greatest defeat into unimaginable power during the years everyone believed he had been broken. Amid the pursuit of justice, Charles finds himself torn between two women. Evelyn, the woman who first captured his heart and never truly stopped believing in his innocence, represents the life he lost. Amelia, the courageous woman who secretly gave birth to his son while he was imprisoned, represents the family and future he never knew he had. With powerful enemies closing in, hidden identities exposed, and a decades-old conspiracy threatening everyone he loves, Charles faces the greatest challenge of his life. To clear his name, protect his family, and uncover the truth about who he really is, he must risk losing everything once again. The Phantom Alpha is an epic tale of betrayal, resilience, redemption, love, and revenge, proving that while a person's identity can be stolen, their destiny can never truly be erased.

Before the SATs, everyone had filled in their dream colleges they'd like to apply to. Now that the results were out, my boyfriend, Sheldon Miller, and many of my classmates had successfully gotten into Astraeus University, which happens to be their dream university. In order to celebrate the success, Sheldon's childhood friend, Winnie Frost, decided to invite Sheldon and the classmates over to the tattoo parlor her family ran for celebratory tattoos. I grabbed Sheldon's hand and reminded him that students in aviation majors weren't allowed to have tattoos of their own, only to get slapped by him instead. The classmates around me even started mocking me relentlessly. "Just how shameless are you, Cassandra? Sheldon and Winnie are the actual childhood friends here! You don't want him to get a tattoo at her family's parlor out of jealousy, right?" I was so pissed that I could feel a headache coming. For the sake of Sheldon's future, I forcibly dragged him away. But what I didn't expect was that Winnie would secretly carry two barrels of gas to my residence. Just like that, she set my residence ablaze. That fire ended up killing my parents and me. Sheldon and our classmates even forged Winnie's alibi just so they could wash her off the police's suspicion. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Sheldon is about to walk into Winnie's tattoo parlor. Sheldon shakes my hand off ruthlessly and begins berating me angrily. "Aren't you just being jealous because Winnie and I are close to each other? I'll have you know that not only do I want to get a tattoo with Winnie, but I also want to have her name tattooed on my body!" This time, I just flash a wide smile at him. "Go on, then. You'd better have her name tattooed on an obvious spot."

"Because that is what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve sorry from me." "Wow, really, and why is that." "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it." "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say getting angry with his insults "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer to me. I don't say anything, but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I even expected him to say anything better. It is Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a story about two people who knew how to express the word hate more than anything else to one another.
