The Gene Serum at the Auction

Carnos is the hidden CEO of Beika Gene Tech, a man who controls thirty percent of the world’s wealth. Because his girlfriend, Lily, claims she loves humble, hardworking men, he has spent three years working as an insurance salesman. After personally testing the Genesis Serum in outer space—only three vials exist, each adding a hundred years to a person’s life—he stages an exclusive auction for the world’s elite, with Lily as host and a proposal planned for the finale. But Lily has been cheating with Derek, a mid-level Beika sales director who poses as a top executive and takes credit for everything Carnos did to save her family. On auction night, Lily proposes to Derek, her family humiliates Carnos, and the guests jeer as guards close in. Then Vivian, the formidable Chairwoman of Sterling Group, lands by helicopter to stand with him; Carnos once saved her from a fifteen-billion-dollar trap. Derek uses Beika’s name to cut off Vivian’s supplies, freeze her credit and oust her from her own company, but Carnos dismantles every lie until the President walks in and greets him by name. With his identity revealed, every insult is repaid in kind. Derek’s stolen serum turns him into a monster, then an old man, and Lily loses everything she ever took. The last Genesis Serum becomes Carnos’s wedding gift to Vivian, sealed with a kiss among the stars.
