Taming the Heir： Pushing Buttons

Synopsis of Taming the Heir： Pushing Buttons: Elliot Ashford, heir to Britain’s Ashford Group, was left paralyzed by trauma after his father’s murder in a staged car crash. His mother hired Miles Carter, a rough street fighter, to break through his isolation. Miles used brutal, unorthodox tactics to force Elliot back into the world, driven by his own understanding of darkness after losing his mother to depression. As the heir assembly neared, Elliot’s cousin Dominic—the crash’s mastermind—and his fiancée Victoria escalated their plot. Dominic abducted and tortured Miles, using him to blackmail Elliot via video call. Elliot broke through his paralysis in that moment. He read Miles’ silent message, raced to the warehouse, and fought alongside him at a cliff’s edge. Both fell over, but Elliot refused to let go, and Miles pulled them both back. At the heir assembly, Miles carried the battered Elliot into the boardroom. Elliot stood for the first time in a year, reclaimed his inheritance, and exposed Dominic and Victoria, who were arrested. Miles collected his pay and left. Elliot dropped his cane, ran after him, and pulled him close when Miles asked if the bodyguard job was still open. “It is,” Elliot said. “For a lifetime.”
