Chapter one
Sir, your organic post-op recovery meal has arrived."Ethan Sterling, who was wearing the uniform of a premium hospitality courier, knocked on the door of the VIP suite. He instinctively pressed his left hand against his side feeling pains on his stomach.It had only been three weeks since his major surgery. He shouldn't be lifting heavy things, but he needed the money.Three weeks ago, Chloe had walked through the front door crying her eyes out. She was holding a folder full of medical papers."Ethan, it's my dad," she had sobbed, shoving the folder into his hands. Her whole body was shaking. "His kidneys are failing. The doctor said if he doesn't get a transplant right now, he only has two months to live." She covered her mouth, looking at him with desperate eyes. "I asked everyone in my family to get tested. None of them are a match. Nobody is... except you."Ethan had flipped through the pages. He saw lab results and hospital forms with a doctor's signature he didn't know. Chloe t
The Worthless Live-In Son-In-Law
"Let Chloe Pierce inherit my family's billions? Haha, no need. She is not worthy!" Ethan said as he hung up the phone. He looked up at the high-end VIP suite on the top floor, shaking his head. He was still in absolute disbelief not wanting to believe the horrifying truth.His wife hadn't married him out of some secret, rebellious love but had chosen him... a penniless, statusless man... simply because his blood type and health profile made him the perfect, disposable bio-container to harvest a kidney for her secret billionaire lover.For three years, he had been living a lie, thinking his devotion mattered.'Chloe Pierce... Julian Montgomery... you truly are a pair of vicious beasts!' Ethan thought, his jaw clenching as he walked away from the medical resort.At eight o'clock that evening, Ethan returned to the modest residential apartment he shared with Chloe. He didn't want to cause a scene in public yet; he needed to gather his personal belongings and make a clean break.The momen
Family Threats
The following morning, at precisely ten o'clock, the main executive boardroom at the Pierce Group Headquarters was already noisy.The room was packed with directors, extended family members, and high-net-worth investors. Everyone was desperately trying to flatter the family matriarch, Old Mrs. Pierce, who controlled 51% of the company's shares.Old Mrs. Pierce sat at the head of the conference table, holding her pedigree toy poodle. When she lowered it to the floor, she noticed a smudge of grease on the premium presentation stage.The old woman frowned in disgust. "Where is that useless live-in janitor? This is why I said that before he goes out for his stupid delivery job, he should make sure there's not a single stain, especially in the family conference room. Get Ethan over here right now with a rag to scrub this stage before our lovely corporate partners arrive."For the past three years, acting as an unpaid, humiliated custodian during major corporate events like this had been Et
The Vanguard Apex Prize
"To think we allowed that ungrateful stray to breathe our air for three whole years!" the matriarch hissed, her eyes scanning the room. "Victoria, this is the result of your daughter’s soft heart. If you had listened to me back then and married Chloe off to Julian Montgomery, our family wouldn't be facing this public humiliation today!"Victoria quickly stepped forward, smoothing down her designer dress, her face pale with anxiety. "Mom, please calm down. Chloe was young and naive, but she knows better now. Look at how she protected her purity! She never let that delivery boy touch her. And right now, Julian is recovering in a premium resort, waiting to merge his family's real estate assets with ours. This little setback with Ethan is nothing."Chloe, still kneeling on the floor, wiped away another stray tear. "Grandma, my mother is right. I only stayed with Ethan because I didn't want the public to think the Pierces break their promises. But yesterday, when he brought his filthy deli
Mechanical Wrath on the Tarmac
Richard smiled widely, He had spent the last three years treating Ethan like a personal footstool, frequently mocking his poverty and ordering him around like a dog. The idea of physically breaking him today was highly appealing."Don't worry, Grandma," Richard said, pulling his luxury car keys from his pocket. "I know exactly how to handle a spineless coward like Ethan. I'll have him kneeling on the ballroom floor before the champagne is poured."Ten minutes later, Richard was driving down the tarmac roads of the city in his modified Maserati. He dialed Ethan's number on his hands-free dashboard system, laughing out loud before the call even connected.The phone rang, Ethan replied"What do you want, Richard?"Richard scoffed loudly, blowing smoke toward the windshield. "Haha! Ethan, you pathetic piece of trash! I just left the executive boardroom, and Chloe told us absolutely everything. I have to admit, you really have some nerve! A dirty, penniless delivery boy actually has the au
Blood in the Ballroom
Inside the grand ballroom of the Pierce Group Headquarters, the atmosphere was lively. Beautiful crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and music played softly in the background.The room was filled with rich investors, local business owners, international partners, and media reporters. Everyone was dressed in expensive clothes, drinking champagne and talking about the Pierce family’s future.Old Mrs. Pierce stood near the entrance, greeting the high-status guests with a proud smile. Chloe stood right beside her, wearing a beautiful white designer dress. She looked sophisticated and pure, as though nothing had happened the day before.Victoria, Chloe’s mother, was talking loudly to a group of wealthy women. "Yes, my Chloe is finally free from that loser delivery boy. The divorce is happening today. Soon, our family will merge with the Montgomery Group, and we are also looking forward to a massive partnership with Vanguard Apex!"Several women smiled and congratulated her. Chloe li
The Rented Suit
Inside the plush back seat of the Maybach, the sound of the ballroom’s distant music was completely blocked out by the armored windows. Sarah looked down at her golden tablet, her eyes tracking the chaotic corporate signals coming from the Pierce building."Supreme Chairman," Sarah said, turning toward Ethan. "The Pierce family has all their security guards stationed at the primary doors. They are waiting for you to walk into their trap. Shall I have our elite security detail clear the entrance before you step out?"Ethan looked out the tinted window. His face was entirely calm. He adjusted the cuffs of his dark charcoal three-piece suit."No," Ethan replied quietly. "Stay in the car with the executive board. Let the Pierces think their trap worked. I want everyone in that room to see exactly how far they are willing to go before you join me.""Understood, sir," Sarah said, bowing her head with immense respect.Ethan opened the door himself and stepped out onto the red carpet. He walk
Chapter 8
Marcus had his men circle around Ethan. The wealthy investors in the crowd stepped back even further, talking among themselves, eager to see the dramatic downfall of the Pierce family’s infamous "houseboy."Up on the stage, Richard leaned over the railing, wiping a fresh drop of blood from his lip. A nasty grin spread across his face. "Go on, Marcus! Hit him hard! Let’s see if that fancy charcoal suit can wash out blood stains!"Marcus, the security chief, took another step forward. He was a massive man, easily weighing over two hundred pounds, and he loved using his physical size to bully people. He glared down at Ethan, who was standing completely still in the center of the ring."I’m going to ask you one last time, loser," Marcus growled. "Get down on your knees and put your hands behind your head. If I have to force you down, I promise you won’t be walking out of this building on your own two feet."Ethan didn't move. He didn't even shift his weight. He looked at Marcus as if the
Chapter 9
The entire ballroom was completely frozen.Nobody dared to move. Old Mrs. Pierce sat stiffly chair, her jaw hanging open as she looked at the three powerful Vanguard directors bowing deeply to Ethan.Chloe felt a cold sweat cover her entire body. Her mind was spinning, desperately trying to find a way out of this nightmare. Supreme Chairman Sterling. The words rang in her head. Sterling—Ethan's own surname. For one terrifying second, the answer stood right in front of her. Then denial crushed it. No. Impossible. There were other Sterlings in the world. Ethan was a courier. He had to be. She looked at Ethan’s flawless suit, then at Sarah, and then at the bowing directors. Suddenly, her eyes locked onto Sarah, and a desperate realization gave her something else to believe."Wait a minute!" Chloe suddenly shrieked, pointing her finger wildly at Sarah. "Grandma! Mom! Don't let them trick you! This is all a massive, disgusting scam!"The head Vanguard director straightened his back and gla
