House of Ainsworth

Diamond O’vera lived an ordinary life. Ordinary job. Ordinary routine. Ordinary death. She died quietly in her sleep. No pain. No warning. No meaning. Then she woke up. Not in heaven. But in the body of a blind child. — Reborn as Mordred Svyatopolovich Ainsworth. A fallen noble in 19th century Russia. A family destroyed by betrayal. A father drowning in pride. A household rotting in poverty beneath the streets of Saint Petersburg. No money. No power. No future. — Eight years later, at seventeen— The truth is clear. No one is coming to save them. — But Mordred is not helpless. Not normal. Not kind. — Armed with a sharp mind, a detached personality, and a terrifying ability to read people beyond sight, he begins to think. To plan. To rebuild. — From ruin to power. From slums to control. From nothing… to something far worse. — This is a dark, grounded story of survival, manipulation, and ambition in a world where weakness is punished and mercy is a luxury. — Will he save his family? Or use them as the foundation for something greater? — And when he rises— Will there be anything human left? ----------------------------------------- Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce’s Half Sister) and is a part of the I.C.T.M.H.E.T.E.M.H universe.
