Chapter 3: Kian Fenix
Kian Fenix stood at the edge of the penthouse, his gaze fixed on the sprawling city below. The Fenix empire spread beneath him like a web of power, wealth, and control—a legacy his father, Victor Fenix, had meticulously built. But Kian never felt like he truly belonged in that world. He had inherited his father's genius, but not his desires. And with every passing day, Kian found himself increasingly detached from the empire he had the potential to command.
At 17, Kian was already a legend in his own right—an enigma. His intellect was sharper than anyone else's, his charisma magnetic, and his beauty so striking it seemed unreal. No man had ever been more handsome, not even the most celebrated models and actors of the world. His features were carved with perfection—high cheekbones, a chiseled jawline, and a nose that seemed to have been shaped by an artist's hand. His blond hair shimmered with a touch of golden, black, and white strands that gave him an almost ethereal glow, catching the light like threads of sunlight breaking through the clouds. His eyes, a vivid blue, glimmered with a peculiar red tint—like the ocean at dusk, fierce yet inviting. It was a gaze that held a thousand secrets, a depth that no one could ever fully understand.
Kian was a force of nature, and his looks were just the beginning. He excelled in every arena he touched—business, science, AI, physics, even philosophy. There wasn't a subject he couldn't master with ease. He was the embodiment of perfection, a prodigy beyond compare, a genius who didn't need to shout to command attention.
Despite his youthful age, Kian had become an untouchable presence, respected by all. His father, Victor Fenix, was the sixth strongest man in the world, a titan of business with an unshakable reputation. But Kian's mother, now in a coma, was the second strongest person in the world—an unrivaled genius in AI, codes, and physics. The combination of her brilliance and Kian's quiet dominance made them an unstoppable force, a duo the world could only dream of understanding.
The empire ran on her genius, and her absence was felt by all. Yet, even without her active presence, the Fenix name carried an immense weight. No scandal, no number of illegitimate children, no amount of shady business deals could dent their power.
The public had no idea what truly went on behind the scenes in the Fenix family, but the whispers were impossible to ignore. The media couldn't get enough of the contrast between the brothers—Kian and Dmitri.

But Kian didn't care about the media frenzy. He didn't care about the public's opinion, their comparisons. He didn't need the empire or the titles. He was the true heir—no one could deny that—but it wasn't something he craved. Kian Fenix was above all that. And even in his quiet defiance, he commanded a respect that no one could ignore.
