THE ORPHAN WHO INHERITED BILLIONS
His humiliation was their favorite entertainment. His revenge will be their worst nightmare.
Alexander Rivera was used to being laughed at for his old clothes and empty wallet. He thought the ultimate betrayal was watching his girlfriend, Elena, choose a billionaire's son over him right in front of many crowd that broke him completely.
But that was before a dying kingmaker pulled him from the gutter. Before Lorenzo Benedetti bestowed upon him a new name and a staggering inheritance: a multi-billion empire.
Now, Alexander is back. To them, he’s still the same penniless waiter, the easy target for their cruelty. They still think he’s poor. They still mock him, set him up, and treat him like dirt. They have no idea he’s rich. They don’t realize he’s recording every cruel word.
With the limitless resources of the Benedetti fortune at his fingertips, Alexander is no longer fighting for respect. He's waging a war. And for the spoiled elite of Saint George University, the lesson is about to begin: Never underestimate the man who has nothing left to lose... and everything to burn.
Step into Alexander’s world where revenge is a luxury he can finally afford.

Chapter: CHAPTER 12The Audi’s engine was a muted purr as it navigated the streets back toward campus, a stark contrast to the roar of social combat Alexander had just left. Samuel’s presence was a calm, neutral force in the charged silence.“A difficult evening, Young Master?” Samuel finally asked, his eyes on the road.Alexander let out a short, humorless laugh. “You could say that. I was just informed my aesthetic is ‘shoplifting chic’ and that I should stick to taco trucks.”“A curious analysis from individuals who likely have never purchased their own clothing or cooked a meal,” Samuel observed dryly. “Their opinions are of no strategic consequence.”“It’s not about strategy,” Alexander sighed, leaning his head against the cool glass. “It’s about… existing. They look at me and see a list of everything I lack. They don’t see a person.”“A common flaw in those who define themselves by external validation,” Samuel replied. “It makes them predictable. And easily managed, should you choose to do so.”The

Chapter: CHAPTER 11The arrival of Bradley Whitlock was treated with the reverence usually reserved for a minor deity. The door to the private room swung open, and there he was, as if conjured by Lisa’s worshipful description. He was handsome in a bland, catalogue-model way, with perfectly styled hair and a sweater tied around his shoulders like a parody of old-money elegance."Bradley! You made it!" Lisa trilled, jumping up to air-kiss his cheeks."Sorry I'm late, everyone," Bradley said, his voice a smooth, practiced baritone. "Board meeting at Benedetti ran long. You know how it is." He said it with a casual sigh, ensuring everyone understood the prestige of being too busy with billion-dollar affairs.His eyes swept the table, lingering appreciatively on Grace before landing on Alexander. His smile didn't falter, but it cooled by several degrees, a polite mask of confusion. "I don't believe we've met.""This is Alexander," Matthew said, his voice strained. "He's our roommate.""Ah," Bradley said, the

Chapter: CHAPTER 10The text from his roommate, Joseph Blake, was a welcome distraction from the heavy silence of Beacon Hill Manor.Joseph: Dude, get back to campus. We're going to Riverside Grill. Matthew's girlfriend, Lisa, is bringing her friends from the business school. They're gorgeous. Time to surgically remove Elena from your brain.Alexander stared at the message, the opulent ghost of the manor still clinging to him. The idea was almost laughable. An hour ago, he’d been drinking cognac worth more than a semester’s tuition with executives who controlled billions. Now, he was being summoned to a college bar for a setup.A part of him wanted to refuse, to retreat into the formidable new identity taking shape. But another part, the part that was still Alexander Rivera from the dorm, craved normalcy. He craved a chance to be just a college student again, to prove to himself that he could exist in that world without the humiliation."Samuel," he said, turning to the ever-present figure who had driven

Chapter: CHAPTER 9The black town car glided through the wrought-iron gates of Beacon Hill Manor, leaving the world of student protests and campus gossip behind. Alexander Rivera watched the world transform outside his window into one of silent, immense power. Manicured hedges stood at attention like sentinels guarding a fortress of old money.Samuel Romano, sitting beside him, broke the silence. "The regional leaders have all arrived, Mr. Rivera. They are… intensely curious about the young man Mr. Benedetti has chosen."Alexander, still in his simple jeans and shirt, said nothing. He could still feel the phantom sting of Sophia’s rejection, the vicious whispers of "pervert" echoing in his mind. That humiliation was a fresh wound, but this was a different kind of pressure entirely.The manor was a Georgian masterpiece of red brick and white pillars. The car stopped under a grand portico where eight men in tailored suits stood with a stillness more threatening than any aggressive posture. As Alexander st

Chapter: CHAPTER 8Alexander walked across campus toward the sports complex, his mind still processing the events with Daniel. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the manicured lawns as students hurried between classes, most giving him curious glances after the morning's library incident.The sports complex was buzzing with activity. Tennis courts, outdoor fitness areas, and jogging tracks were filled with students taking advantage of the perfect weather. Alexander spotted Sophia near the outdoor gymnasium, but something else caught his attention first.Three middle-aged men in casual clothing were positioned strategically around the women's fitness area, each holding professional cameras with telephoto lenses. They were being incredibly discrete, hiding behind trees and equipment, but Alexander's angle gave him a clear view of their activities.His stomach churned as he watched them zoom in on female students doing yoga stretches and cardio exercises. The women had no idea they were being photog

Chapter: Chapter 7Alexander stood outside the library doors, his hands shaking with rage as the laughter from inside still echoed in his ears. The humiliation burned through him like acid, but this time it was different. This time, he didn't have to just take it. He pulled out his phone and scrolled to Samuel Romano's contact.Daniel Ross needs to be taught a lesson. Break his right hand. Make it clear this is what happens when people cross me.The response came within seconds: Yes, sir. Consider it done.Alexander stared at his phone, a strange mix of satisfaction and unease washing over him. A week ago, he would never have imagined having this kind of power. Now, with a simple text message, he could change someone's life forever."Hey, poverty boy!"Alexander looked up to see Daniel Ross strutting out of the library with a group of his law school friends, all of them grinning like they'd just witnessed the entertainment of the century."Leaving so soon?" Daniel called out mockingly. "I thought maybe
