Insta Millionaire 2.0

He is the ghost of the university. The man everyone loves to hate. The chauffeur who works for pennies while hiding a throne worth billions.** To the arrogant students at Chicago University, Ryan is nothing more than "the beggar." He is the kid who scrubs factory floors, drives the campus heiress to class, and takes every insult without a word of protest. He lives in a cramped dorm, wears cheap clothes, and is the constant target of bullies who think he is beneath them. They have no idea that they are playing with a sleeping lion. In reality, Ryan is the eldest son and the rightful heir to the Vanguard empire—a global powerhouse that controls sixty-one percent of the world’s shipping lanes. He is a prince among men, currently living in self-imposed exile. Bound by a solemn promise to his father to ensure his younger brother’s future, Ryan has surrendered his wealth, his status, and his life of luxury. He has only six days left before his exile ends and he can reclaim his throne. But six days is a lifetime when your enemies are closing in. From a traitorous uncle plotting to kidnap the woman he is sworn to protect, to socialite bullies determined to humiliate him, Ryan is trapped in a minefield of betrayal. His patience is tested daily, and his restraint is legendary. Ryan holds the power to crush his enemies with a single phone call, but he refuses to break his vow. He continues to play the role of the helpless, poor driver, enduring the ridicule of the elite. But as the conspiracies against him turn violent, Ryan realizes that silence has a price. How long can a billionaire heir pretend to be a peasant before he is forced to show his true face? The world thinks Ryan is a nobody. Soon, they will realize that they were never just bullying a student—they were mocking a king. The countdown has begun. The throne awaits. And Ryan is done playing nice.
