Separated by fate. Forged in pain. Bound by blood. Before the gun smoke, before the betrayal, before O’ lay flatlining on a hospital bed with death closing in—there was the beginning. After The Ruins Came A Savage Billionaire Bloodline takes readers back to where it all started. To two twin boys ripped apart at birth—Orlan “O’” Coleman and Olijah—thrown into two different worlds but bound by blood, fate, and a darkness neither can escape. O’ grows up in the shadow of Jah, a father whose name is feared in the streets and respected in boardrooms. Surrounded by money, women, and muscle, O’ learns early what it means to wear the weight of legacy—even when it costs him peace. His refuge comes in the form of Tif and her daughter Blue, the girl who becomes his anchor, his bond, and maybe the one temptation he can never resist. On the other side of the city, Olijah is raised in a house that hides its ugliness behind a white picket fence. Loved deeply by his foster parents but scarred by betrayal, abuse, and secrets, he learns to move with quiet calculation. Sharp-eyed. Old-souled. A boy who would one day become the Shadow—watching, waiting, molded by forces darker than he can imagine. As Jah builds an empire alongside Messiah “Senior” Coleman, alliances are forged, betrayals are seeded, and Geneva—the woman who shifts everything with just a glance—becomes the spark to ignite a war nobody sees coming. Lives unravel. Families fracture. And innocence dies far too soon. By the time blood spills, bodies drop, and the twins unknowingly walk the same violent path, the stage is set for a reckoning of generations in the making. Because destiny doesn’t care about choice. Blood calls to blood and, eventually, O’ and Olijah will collide. And when they do… only one will rise from the ruins.
