Chapter: chapter 14Eva Lapis sat by the window of her room, her legs curled up on the edge of the velvet chaise lounge. Rain tapped against the glass, but her thoughts were far louder. The image of Dave—her husband—at the luxury boutique had shaken her to her core. She hadn’t seen it coming. She wasn’t even looking for him. It had started as an ordinary evening: scrolling through fashion feeds, online gossip, and business rumors. But then, suddenly, the headlines shifted: “Mysterious Billionaire Shocks Sales Floor with $12M Shopping Spree.” The photo attached had her choking on her own breath. It was Dave. Same face, same saggy clothes. But the way the staff bowed to him after discovering his black card, the way the cameras caught him walking out like a god in tattered clothing—it didn’t make sense. What was he doing with a card that exclusive? How could he afford a $1.2 million suit? Since when did people address Dave with respect? Her thumb trembled as she scrolled through more footage. “Who ar

Chapter: chapter 13The tension from the chaos inside the boutique still clung to the air like smoke as Dave strode out of Crusline Mall, his head held high. Each step he took was calculated, calm, and filled with the quiet confidence of a man who no longer had to prove anything. The heavy silence he left behind screamed louder than any insult Mark or the cashier had spat at him moments earlier. Behind him, the mall remained alive with murmurs. Shoppers, employees, and bystanders whispered furiously among themselves. "Did you see the manager chasing after him?" "Wait, did she say Wayne Enterprises? Like... THE Wayne family?" "God, we almost called security on a billionaire." But Dave didn’t care. He had endured years of mockery, shame, and dismissal. This moment—this walk out the doors of a mall he owned—was a silent declaration that his days of humiliation were over. The saleslady hurried after him, the weight of multiple shopping bags threatening to pull her arms from their sockets. She struggled

Chapter: chapter 12The moment the saleslady pulled the sleek black card from the pocket of the Dormeuil Vanquish suit, a hushed silence fell over the boutique. Her eyes widened slightly, recognizing that this wasn’t just any card—it was a high-tier, ultra-exclusive bank card engraved in gold. But instead of speaking up, she froze. She looked at Dave, then at the angry cashier, then at the jeering face of Mark Cindy. Her hands trembled slightly. She wanted to say something… but fear anchored her tongue. What if she was wrong? What if the card was fake? What if this caused trouble for her job? Mark, seeing her hesitation and the card in her hand, scoffed. “Oh please,” he said, raising his voice. “You really think that card is real? Don’t fall for that crap. It’s obviously a fake. Look at him!” He pointed at Dave, who still stood with a calm but tense expression. “Dressed like that? A man who looks like a dried-up street beggar holding a card worth millions? Ha! What kind of sick joke is this?” The cash

Chapter: chapter 11Dave was amazed and impressed as he walked through the mall, his eyes filled with admiration. Everything looked so bright and beautiful—there were so many people, and so many interesting things one could buy. Umm... Dave froze as he noticed everyone in the mall seemed to have fixed their eyes on him. The looks they gave were filled with disgust, their judgment plain and unhidden. He could even hear the surrounding whispers. "Oh my God… who's that? He looks so unkempt." "What the hell? Why would they let a beggar in here?" "Who knows? Maybe he's not just a beggar but a criminal…" Yeah, you're right, man. Someone like him, hmm… > "Mmm, he's definitely here to steal something." Dave didn't mind the stares or what they were whispering about. He acted as if he didn't care and walked straight toward a boutique store. Just at the entrance, a saleslady stood there, looking stunning and cute. Dave couldn't help but smile to himself. Hmm… I see why they placed her at the entrance. Th

Chapter: chapter 10"Wow..." Dave whispered to himself as he entered the dining room. It looked like his father was hosting a feast—so many dishes were laid out on the long dining table. "Oh, son! You're here. "Come, come, join me," Mr. Jorge said warmly as he noticed Dave's presence. Dave didn't hesitate. He walked over and sat down beside his father. "Good morning, Dad," Diava greeted politely, noticing the odd look on his father's face as he sat beside him. "What's wrong, Dad?" he asked, puzzled by the strange expression Mr Jorge had just given him. Mr. Jorge sighed. "Son, why are you still wearing those old, saggy clothes? As the heir to Wayne Enterprises, you shouldn't be walking around looking like that. I mean you look absolutely ridiculous." "I know, Dad," Dave replied sheepishly. "I couldn't find any clothes in my drawer, so I just wore them, not like I had a choice." Jorge shook his head. "In that case, Danny should take you to the mall today. Get yourself some proper clothes—good ones."

Chapter: chapter 9Time skipped by as Dave enjoyed a rare and heartwarming moment with his father. The two of them wandered around the mansion, talking and laughing, exploring rooms filled with memories and stories of the past. For once, Dave felt at peace—free, even.Suddenly, he felt his cheap Nokia phone vibrating in his pocket.He reached for his phone and glanced at the screen. It was Jennifer Lawrence, his college classmate. Dave couldn't figure out from all the people why Jennifer Lawrence would be calling him, but out of curiosity, he decided to answer.Sorry, Dad. "Can I have a second?" he asked politely."Of course, son," Mr. Jorge replied with a gentle nod.Dave stepped aside and answered the call. "Hello?"Suddenly, a small sarcastic chuckle came from the other end. "Is that Dave?" she asked."Yes, this is Dave. "Why did you call, Jennifer?" he replied."Oh," she laughed as she spoke, "I can't believe you're still alive!" I was scared no one would answer. I thought maybe you had died from st

Chapter: The Forgotten AppointmentMinutes later after that hole scene, Jay finally settled into his seat to watched the movie and it was worth every second.By the time the credits rolled across the massive screen, he found himself sitting there for several moments, completely immersed in the lingering emotions the film had left behind. The breathtaking UltraVision 8K cinematography , the perfectly timed soundtrack, the incredible acting, and the twists that constantly kept him guessing had blended together into an unforgettable experience.A faint smile crept onto his lips.The director deserves an award for this, he thought sincerely. Because that was easily one of the best movies he had ever watched.Eventually, Jay made his way back to the VIP Sky Lounge after the movie where several wealthy patrons had already gathered. Unlike the average moviegoer who left after a single showing, many of the elites present planned to spend the evening watching multiple films while enjoying the luxurious amenities the lounge had

Chapter: Pod A-08The manager's words lingered in the air, leaving an awkward silence between him and the gentleman sitting on Pod A-08. Jay's expression tightened ever so slightly before even thinking of a response to the manager's words. "My ticket assigned me this seat," he said calmly, his voice steady but leaving no room for argument."I... I understand, sir," The manager replied respectfully.His fingers flew across the tablet as he searched through the reservation records once again with his elegant composure slipping with each passing second.Years of working in luxury hospitality had taught him one invaluable lesson—never offend a wealthy guest unless you are absolutely ready to face hell.So despite the growing pressure from the furious elderly man behind him, he carefully reviewed the booking details once again, praying he hadn't made a mistake.According to what he was seeing, the reservation clearly belonged to the elderly gentleman and yet the system also showed that Pod A-08 had been l

Chapter: VIP Ultra Premium passThe entire front of Excaniva Cinema looked more like a futuristic space station than a movie theater.Towering walls of black glass reflected the afternoon sun while massive holographic advertisements floated several feet above the entrance, constantly changing between movie trailers, game worlds, and dazzling visual effects.A gigantic three-dimensional dragon suddenly burst out of one hologram, soaring across the plaza before dissolving into thousands of glowing particles.Children squealed in excitement at the breathtaking sight before them, while adults instinctively reached for their phones to capture the dazzling spectacle on camera.Jay on the other hand, simply stood there, taking it all in."Nice..." he murmured, genuinely impressed.After a brief moment, he snapped out of his daze and headed toward the entrance.The moment he stepped onto the marble walkway, two attendants—a young man and a young woman dressed in elegant black uniforms trimmed with gold, stopped him with war

Chapter: Simple Dreams, Finally Within Reach"Good. I'll let you continue your tour, but I'll be keeping a close eye on you," the security guard said with his tone carrying one last warning before he turned and walked away."That was... painfully awkward," Jay muttered under his breath, letting out a long sigh of relief as he watched the guard return to his post.He had no intention of testing the man's patience. Besides, there was no reason to. He had already used up both of his daily touches, so touching another exhibit would accomplish nothing except getting himself thrown out disgracefully.Still, leaving immediately after that confrontation would only make him look even more suspicious.So he decided to stay a little longer, as he casually wandered through the exhibition, stopping every now and then to admire the paintings and sculptures like any ordinary visitor. Only after spending several more minutes blending in with the crowd did he finally make his way toward the art section exit.He quietly slipped outside, leaving b

Chapter: Caught on CameraAfter staring at the screen for another moment, Jay slipped the phone back into his pocket and shook his head before continuing his treasure hunt through the exhibition.He remained in the art section, where every display seemed to hide a story centuries old.One thing that had become abundantly clear since he had been here was that the most valuable items weren't always the most eye-catching.Without Value Analytics, he would have walked right past countless priceless antiques, mistaking them for ordinary decorations. To the untrained eye, many of them looked no different from the inexpensive replicas sold in souvenir shops.His gaze swept across another display.Almost immediately, the familiar translucent panel appeared.[Item: Nok Royal Guardian Sculpture][Category: Ancient African Terracotta Sculpture][Estimated Market Value: $2,100,000][Authenticity: 100% Genuine][Condition: Excellent]Jay's eyebrows shot up.The sculpture stood barely two feet tall, its weathered reddish-br

Chapter: Did She Just Steal My Number?"Uh... umm... sorry. I'm really sorry." Jay quickly stepped back over the guide rope and brushed imaginary dust off his tuxedo. "I just get a little carried away when it comes to art."The woman folded her arms across her chest and studied him with one eyebrow raised, clearly unconvinced.Only then did Jay get a proper look at her face."Wait... I know you." His eyes widened in realization. "You're the woman in the red dress who came to the jewelry store with Hale, aren't you? If I'm not mistaken... you're Hale's girlfriend.""What?" she blurted out, her face twisting in disgust. "Gross. I'm not Hale's girlfriend."She narrowed her eyes at him before adding, "Where on earth did you get that idea?"Her immediate denial completely caught Jay off guard.Wait... what?His thoughts immediately went into overdrive.I literally saw her with Hale at the jewelry mall two days ago. So why is she denying him. I knew it...She's a gold digger.The moment I shocked everyone by buying the Eclipse
