THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR
"Apologize to Mike and get the hell out of here, before we really destroy you, you stupid cleaner!" he snarled.
The taunting laughter from the group echoed around the court. Ethan’s cheeks burned as he clenched his fists, but he didn’t let the tears fall. Not now.
Not when he could still hold his dignity—though it was quickly slipping away.
Melissa’s eyes shifted uncomfortably, and for a moment, Ethan saw something in them—a flicker of fear.
But it was quickly replaced by an air of indifference. She shifted on her feet, glancing away, clearly uncomfortable but refusing to step forward.
The group continued to mock him, calling him a beggar and a loser.
"Look at him," one of them laughed. "A poor idiot who thinks he’s better than everyone else!"
The mocking continued, but none of it hit harder than the silence from Melissa. Ethan turned his head toward her, his voice cracking as he asked.
“Melissa, what the hell are you doing here? You... you’re my girlfriend!” His voice trembled with a mixture of anger and hurt.
The heir of the Elliot family, but his parents didn’t tell him the truth. They wanted Ethan to feel the difficulties of life.

Chapter: CHAPTER 277Ethan stood on the edge of a glass-and-steel monolith, looking down at the city that had both made him and tried to break him.Dubai stretched out in all directions—a kingdom of glass towers, neon reflections, and wealth built on power and silence.Once, he had owned this world.Once, he had believed he could shape it.But now, as he stood above it all, the question that had haunted him since the beginning refused to be ignored.Did I win? Or did I just survive?He exhaled, the wind pulling at his coat, sending strands of his hair whipping against his forehead.The streets below were alive—cars honking, people moving, deals being made in hushed conversations, just another night in the empire of the rich.None of them knew what had happened.None of them knew how close this city had come to burning with The Dominion.They only knew the headlines:“Ethan Elliot Destroys Global Crime Syndicate.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A Power Shift in the Underworld.”“The Most Dangerous Man in the Wo

Chapter: CHAPTER 276Ethan stood at the edge of the smoldering ruin, his body aching, his mind drowning in the weight of what had been done.Dubai’s skyline had changed overnight—one less tower standing.One less monster breathing.He should have felt something.Relief. Satisfaction. A sense of victory.But there was nothing.Only smoke, ash, and silence.The Dominion was gone.Their networks dismantled, their leaders dead, scattered, or in hiding.The underworld had changed in a single night, shifting like tectonic plates beneath his feet.And the world had noticed.The media had already begun spinning their stories.“Elliot Enterprises CEO Linked to Mysterious Power Shift.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A New Global Order?”“Ethan Elliot: The Man Who Killed the Shadows.”Some feared him.Some worshipped him.Some wanted him dead.None of it mattered.Because Ethan was done.Lisa was gone.Malik was gone.His empire was still standing, but it wasn’t his anymore.He had spent years clawing his way to the top,

Chapter: CHAPTER 2753:00… 2:59… 2:58…The countdown blazed across the massive penthouse screen.Ethan’s fingers tightened around Emery’s collar."Where is it?" His voice was a low growl, lethal.Emery coughed, blood staining his teeth. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"2:30… 2:29…Ethan yanked him forward, shaking him violently. "Tell me where the bomb is, or I swear I will—""Kill me?" Emery smirked, weak but smug. "That’s what I want, Ethan."Ethan’s breath came sharp. Every fiber of his body screamed to end him.But the clock was running out.Lisa’s voice echoed in his head."Don’t become them…"2:00… 1:59…Ethan dropped Emery.He turned on his heel, ignoring the bastard’s laughter as he scanned the penthouse for any sign of the bomb.Then—he saw it.A black case embedded inside the structural framework of the tower, wires running across the walls like a web of death.The fail-safe was wired into the building itself.Emery had planned this well.There was no stopping the countdown.1:30… 1:29…He had to ge

No mercy.His fist slammed into Emery’s face, sending him crashing into a marble pillar.The impact cracked the surface, shards of stone crumbling to the floor.But Emery didn’t collapse.He grinned through the blood."That’s it, Ethan," he rasped, wiping his split lip. "No more business deals. No more negotiations. Just war."Ethan didn’t answer.Words were pointless now.Lisa was gone.The Dominion had burned his empire.Now, he would burn them.Emery launched himself forward, faster than Ethan expected.A knife flashed in his hand.Ethan twisted—**barely dodging—**but the blade still grazed his ribs.Pain flared, hot and sharp, but he didn’t slow.Instead, he caught Emery’s wrist and twisted.CRACK.The knife clattered to the floor.Emery hissed, his arm hanging limp, dislocated.But he still laughed."Come on," he taunted. "You’re holding back."Ethan’s rage snapped.He drove his knee into Emery’s gut, knocking the air from his lungs.As Emery dou

Chapter: CHAPTER 273The Burj Dominion towered over Dubai, a fortress of wealth, power, and secrecy. A structure built on the backs of the world’s most corrupt elites, designed to withstand anything.Anything but him.Ethan was coming.Inside the penthouse, Emery Calloway stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the city sprawling beneath him in a tapestry of golden lights. He swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching the skyline with an air of amusement.Behind him, a war was brewing.Guards flooded the lower floors, rifles loaded, body armor strapped on, comms crackling with rapid orders. The entire tower was on lockdown.But Emery wasn’t afraid.He had been waiting for this."Sir, we should evacuate," one of his lieutenants suggested, nervous.Emery smirked, tilting his glass to his lips. "No."The man hesitated. "With all due respect, sir, Elliot is—""Exactly where I want him." Emery placed the glass down with a deliberate clink. "Let him in."The lieutenant paled.

Didn’t plan.He crashed the car straight through the front gate, metal screeching as he tore past the defenses.Gunfire erupted. Bullets slammed into the car, glass shattering.Ethan was already out, already moving.His gun spat fire as he carved a path through The Dominion soldiers.Each shot was precise. Lethal.

LAPDOG HUSBAND IS A TRILLIONAIRE HEIR
“Sign the papers, Yemin. You’re nothing but a lapdog living in my house,” Katherine sneered, flipping her perfect hair. “You should be thanking me for keeping you around this long. Even my maid is more useful than you.”
Her new lover, James Franx, smirked. “Man, I almost feel bad for you. Almost. Must suck knowing your only talent is folding laundry and giving foot massages.”
The whole room burst into laughter.
Yemin just stood there, silent.
They called him a loser. A househusband. A pathetic joke.
But what they didn’t know?
The man they mocked owned the very restaurant they were dining in. The billion-dollar contracts they bragged about? His name was on every single one.
And when the truth dropped, their smiles vanished.
"Throw them out," the CEO of Ravol Company ordered, his voice cold.
Katherine's jaw dropped. "W-What? No, this has to be a mistake!"
James turned pale. "Wait! You don't understand! He’s just a nobody!"
Yemin chuckled, finally looking them in the eyes.
"You’re right, James. I was a nobody. But tell me… what does that make the fool who was just begging at my feet?"

Chapter: ENDSix months after the collapse of Thomas Morgan's criminal empire, Yemin stood in the witness box of the federal courthouse, his testimony serving as the final nail in the coffin of one of the largest human trafficking operations in the country's history."Mr. Ashford," the prosecutor said, "can you tell the court what happened when you finally confronted Thomas Morgan?"Yemin looked across the courtroom to where Thomas sat in shackles, his once-immaculate appearance now reduced to a standard orange jumpsuit. The man who had terrorized so many looked small and defeated."Thomas was cornered," Yemin replied calmly. "His organization was destroyed, his assets frozen, and federal agents were closing in. In his desperation, he tried to use my sister as leverage one final time.""And how did that confrontation end?""Thomas surrendered when he realized he had no remaining options," Yemin said. "The evidence against him was overwhelming, and even his most loyal subordinates had turned agains

"My anger was free too. And it's been growing every day since you killed our mother."Thomas stared at Isabella in shock. "How is she... you can't be here. You're secure. You're controlled.""I was never controlled," Isabella said, her voice carrying fifteen years of suppressed rage. "I was surviving. Waiting. Learning everything about you and your operation so that when this day came, I could help destroy you completely.""No," Thomas whispered. "No, this isn't how this was supposed to go. I won. I defeated you, Alexander. I broke your spirit.""You broke nothing," Yemin replied, stepping closer. "You gave me time to plan, resou

Chapter: CHAPTER 312 PART 1The secure communication room on the top floor of Thomas Morgan's facility had become a war room filled with panic and desperation. Banks of monitors displayed feeds from various locations across the city, and every single screen told the same story: Thomas's empire was burning."Sir, the waterfront facility is gone," reported a trembling communications officer. "Complete loss. Thirty million in assets, destroyed.""What about the pharmaceutical front?" Thomas demanded, his voice tight with barely controlled fury."Overrun twenty minutes ago. The attackers knew exactly where to find the hidden laboratories."Thomas slammed his fist on the control panel, causing several monitors to flicker. "How is this possible? How do they know everything?"Vincent Caruso, his wounded shoulder bandaged but still functional, looked up from his position at a tactical display. "Because they've been planning this for months, Thomas. While you were playing with your prisoners, they were dismantling your o

You said the ballerina was lonely and needed someone to sing with her.""Stop it," Isabella said, but her voice was weaker now. "You're trying to plant false memories.""You had a stuffed elephant named Patches," Yemin pressed gently. "Gray felt with a pink ribbon around his neck. You carried him everywhere, even though you pretended you were too old for stuffed animals."Isabella backed away from him, her carefully controlled mask beginning to slip. "These are just... these are just good guesses. Anyone could—""You were afraid of thunderstorms," Yemin interrupted.

Chapter: CHAPTER 311 PART 1The chaos from the tactical team's assault had provided the perfect cover for Vincent Caruso's final act of defiance.Despite his wounded shoulder, he had managed to trigger a controlled power surge that temporarily disabled the electromagnetic dampeners throughout the facility.In that brief window, Yemin had broken free from his restraints and escaped through emergency corridors that Vincent had mapped weeks earlier.Now, three levels above his former prison, Yemin moved silently through the shadows of the facility's upper sections.His enhanced abilities were slowly returning, but years of conditioning and psychological preparation had taught him that stealth and intelligence were more valuable than brute force.The secure wing where Isabella was being held was a stark contrast to his own brutal cell.The corridors were carpeted, the walls painted in soothing colors, and classical music played softly from hidden speakers.It was a gilded cage, designed to make captivity feel like l

Emergency alarms began blaring, and Thomas's radio crackled with panicked voices."Sir, we're under attack!" came a frantic report. "Multiple breach points, professional assault team. They're moving toward the upper levels!"Thomas grabbed his radio. "Lock down everything! I want every security protocol activated!""Sir, they seem to know our defensive positions," the voice continued. "They're avoiding our kill zones and hitting our blind spots.""Impossible," Thomas snarled. "No one outside my inner circle knows those details."Thomas looked at Yemin with renewed suspicion, but before he could speak, Vincent Caruso burst back into the cell."Boss, we need to evacuate you now," Vincent said urgently.

Chapter: Chapter 162Victor Chen stood in the grand ballroom of the Celestial Hotel, surveying his domain with the satisfaction of a king looking over his conquered territory. Crystal chandeliers sparkled overhead, illuminating the cream of society as they mingled beneath his carefully orchestrated celebration.This was his night. His triumph. His moment of glory."Mr. Chen," his father approached with a broad smile, clapping him on the shoulder. "You've outdone yourself. This contract with Global Inc has elevated our family beyond anything I could have imagined. We're practically on par with the five top families now!""Practically?" Victor scoffed, taking a sip of champagne. "Give it six months, father. We'll surpass them entirely."His father chuckled indulgently. "Such confidence. I like it."Victor's smile faltered slightly as his mind wandered to Katarina. He'd been forced to hand her back to Vanessa Sterling without ever getting what he truly wanted. The thought still burned in his gut like acid. H

The streets had been his home, hunger his constant companion, death always lurking around the next corner.Then the military recruiters had come to the orphanage. They'd promised food, shelter, purpose. For boys like Alexander and his younger brother Adrian, it had seemed like salvation."Sign here," the recruiter had said, pushing papers across the battered desk. "The military will give you everything you need. You'll have a future. A purpose."Alexander had signed without hesitation. Adrian, barely thirteen, had followed his lead like he always did.They'd been shipped off to basic training along with dozens of other orphans—lost children who society had forgott

That wasn't who he truly was.He was about to reach for his glass of whiskey when it hit him.The wave of returning memories slammed into Adrian's consciousness like a freight train, so powerful it drove him out of his chair and to his knees. His hands clutched at his head as fragments that had been missing for three years suddenly snapped back into place with brutal force."No," he gasped, his eyes wide with shock and recognition. "No, no, NO!"Unlike most people affected by Alexander's incomplete Memory Severance Ritual three years ago, Adrian had retained a significant amount of his memories.

Blood dripped from a gash above his eye, his body broken from hours of relentless combat. Across from him, illuminated by the fires consuming the ancient structure, stood a man whose face was both familiar and twisted with hatred."It didn't have to be this way, brother," Alexander said, his voice hoarse with exhaustion and grief. "We could have worked this out. We could have—""Worked it out?!" The younger man—his brother—laughed bitterly, the sound echoing off the crumbling walls. "You mean I could have continued living in your shadow? Being compared to the great Alexander Howard, the mighty God of War? Always second-best? Always insufficient?""That's not how I saw you," Alexand

Get your memories back. Get your power back.

The ancient movements, the precise energy circulation patterns, the delicate balance required to rebuild severed pathways—all of it came to him with remarkable fluidity, as if his body remembered skills his mind had forgotten."Extraordinary," Viktor murmured as he watched Alexander execute the final sequence flawlessly. "I've never seen anyone learn this so quickly. You truly are exceptional, Alexander Howard."Alexander bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your teachings, sir. I'll never forget this.""See that you use it wisely," Viktor replied, his expression serious. "And Alexander? When your memories return, when you discover who you truly were... don't forget who you chose to be today."With those parting words echoing in his mind, Alexander left Fit Titans and headed straight for Vanessa's penthouse.
