The Trillionaire's Midnight Delivery
By @john1208
Karys Fend, the brilliant but alienated heiress of the Fend Corporation, suffers from severe stress-induced anorexia due to her family’s ruthless expectations. The only food she can keep down is the simple, rustic midnight takeout delivered by Orik, a deadpan courier for a run-down ghost kitchen. To Karys’s elitist family, Orik is nothing but a 'slop-peddler' ripe for cruel mockery whenever he tracks mud into their penthouses. They have no idea that Orik is actually the vanished Sovereign of the Zarris Syndicate - the anonymous tycoon who secretly owns the city’s entire debt and real estate grid.
Orik retired to find peace in cooking, but Karys’s fierce defense of him against her own abusive relatives slowly melts his cynical heart. When the Fend patriarch attempts to force Karys into a predatory marriage by hosting a lavish gala to impress the mysterious Zarris Sovereign, they make the fatal mistake of throwing Orik’s delivery moped into the fountain. As Karys stands alone against her family's cruelty, will Orik finally take off his delivery helmet, claim the VIP throne, and instantly foreclose on the very ballroom they are standing in?
