Chapter 1Devotion of Suspect X

The next morning, Henry woke up. Even now, he felt as if what had happened to him last night was just a dream and that he would wake up sometime later.

But seeing as how he was already awake; he had to accept that everything is true and that he must move on from his past self.

Henry got up from bed and stretched his body as he still felt tired from his overnight writing. He brushed his teeth and took a shower as he felt that his whole body was sticky with dried sweat.

After the shower, Henry picked out some clothes and wore them as he came downstairs.

Henry approached the dining room and saw his father sitting on a chair at the table reading a newspaper as his mom cooked in the kitchen. Henry grabbed a chair and sat on it.

Jacob glanced at his son before continuing to read his newspaper. After 5 minutes, Margaret brings an omelet, French-toast, bacon and milk.

Seeing his wife done with the cooking, Jacob put down the newspaper and began eating.

The breakfast went silently as the William family had never been a noisy family.

After breakfast, Jacob spoke, "Henry, which university do you plan to go to? You know now that you're almost done with high school."

Henry kept calm as he decided to act like a normal teenager so as not make his parents suspicious and replied, "Dad, I think I'd like to go to Harvard University's Law department"

Jacob was surprised at his son's somewhat unexpected reply. But then again, it's Henry choice, he would never force his son to do something that went against his will as the result would be often counterproductive.

"Harvard University it is then. If that is your choice, I will support you. If you go there, go to Professor Eric, my friend. He will take care of you at Harvard." Jacob said.

When Henry heard his father, he was excited as he had prepared a lot of excuses to convince his parents if they did not support him. With his father's approval, everything became easier.

"Son, it's almost late, you must go to school now", Margaret reminded Henry.

Hearing that, Henry grabbed his backpack upstairs and got on his bicycle.

---

At school, Henry acted like his normal 'self' and tried not to seem strange. He was quite popular at school due to his good looks and well-built body. The teachers were also quite fond of him as he was diligent, smart, and never conducted badly in his years of study. Henry was an example of how a perfect student should be.

Even though he was quite popular and had many girls chasing him, he never had a girlfriend. Despite his being a bookworm/nerd, he was still quite popular.

Henry continued his classes at the High School normally. After he got back home, he wrote the 'Devotion of Suspect X' all day as this would determine how much money he would get for the company.

He repeated this schedule for 3 days before finishing the book. He planned to talk to his mom as she owned a bookstore and must have had contacts at the publishing houses.

Now it's Monday, so Henry did not go to school. He approached his mom as she was reading a book in the living room.

"Mom, I want to talk to you about something." Henry sits on her opposite side with a book, the 'Devotion of Suspect X'.

"What do you want to talk about, honey?" Margaret put down her book and spoke to Henry.

"I want to publish a book, but I don't have a channel to do so. So, the first person that came to my mind is you mom." Henry explained

"You want to publish a book?" Margaret was surprised as she never expected her son to write a book.

"Yes, this is the book. I started writing it a month ago and just finished it." Henry replied giving Margaret the book. Henry lied about the time he wrote the book because if he tells her that he had written it in 3 days, she would probably be shocked.

When Margaret heard that, she picked up the book and began reading. At first, she thought Henry was just playing with her. But after seeing the content inside, she was shocked as she felt that the book's content was quite intriguing. The rhythm, plot and other points were on the level of bestselling authors.

She herself was the owner of a bookstore, so she was confident in her own judgment. But because of this she was shocked at this book's potential.

"Are you sure you wrote this yourself, Henry?" Margaret questioned Henry as she felt that it was quite unbelievable.

"This is a 100% my own hard work. How could I fake it?" Henry felt quite proud as he could feel his mom's shock from reading his book. Even though he just copied it, he was feeling quite proud now.

"If this really your own book, mom will fully support you. I will contact my friend and send her a copy of your work. Do you mind mom taking it for a little while?" Margaret asked.

"Of course not, you can take it, mom." Henry replied

Margaret then went out to copy his book and send it to her contact. Now Henry just had to wait for the news from his mom.

Lust in Ecstasy: Love, Lies and Revenge

[ Warning: Mature Content R-18 ] . . . . . . . What to expect: Revenge, a bit of comedy, some pretty dark humor, an overpowered MC (He worked and suffered for it of course), billionaire Playboy, very cold and ruthless FL, Manipulation, Blackmail, MILFs... lots of them, lots of 'We shouldn't be doing this sex' and more steamy sex scenes. You can skip the sex scenes if you're not willing but if you're a Man (or Woman) of Culture like me, Enjoy. -------------------------------------------------------- This book is quite unique, because it breaks the 4th wall quite a lot of times so be prepared for that. I think that's rare to find on webnovel these days and that's part of what sets this book apart from others. ___________________________________ At 18, Danladi moves to the city to live with his wealthy but neglectful uncle, hoping for a fresh start. A computer genius and gaming prodigy, he’s roped into his uncle’s shipping business, but life in his uncle's household is anything but easy. Constantly belittled and mistreated by his uncle’s wife and her sisters, Danladi endures in silence—until one fateful night changes everything. A betrayal at a Christmas Eve party sets off a chain of events that catapults him into a world of power, deception, and revenge. With the help of his cunning best friend, Eric, Danladi seizes an unexpected opportunity, stepping into wealth and influence overnight. But rather than reveal his newfound fortune, he plays a long game, exacting quiet vengeance before vanishing from their lives. Years later, he re-emerges—this time as the head of a groundbreaking gaming empire, a billionaire at just 23. But success comes at a cost. Lured into a dangerous business deal, Danladi finds himself entangled with the ruthless Italian Mafia, losing nearly everything and barely escaping with his life. Just when he thinks all is lost, he crosses paths with Jenn Carter—a brilliant but relentless MI6 agent hunting the very people who deceived him. She offers him a deal: his skills in exchange for her resources. Together, they embark on a high-stakes mission for justice, deception, and survival. As Danladi is thrust into a world of espionage, undercover operations, and a deadly game of cat and mouse, he and Jenn must navigate their growing feelings for each other while staying one step ahead of those who want them dead. But when a $50 million bounty is placed on their heads, the hunt intensifies, forcing them to fight not just for vengeance—but for their lives. Betrayal made him ruthless. Revenge made him powerful. But will love make him vulnerable?
