DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 21 Vivian
"Good girl," Isabelle clapped gleefully. "He deserved that. That ungrateful little bastard.""Nice one, sis!" Ethan chimed in smugly. "Honestly, you should’ve slapped him too. Maybe then he’d learn a lesson."Mother and son exchanged a glance, both clearly pleased with themselves.Vincent chuckled darkly. “Karvel, even I feel sorry for you. Mariya’s always been kind and gentle—like the perfect lady. And yet, you managed to piss her off this badly?”“You really are hopeless trash. No wonder she left you.”As the water dripped from Karvel’s face and soaked into his shirt, Mariya froze, suddenly unsure.“Why... why didn’t you dodge?” she asked quietly.Karvel could have. But he chose not to.“Happy now?” he said, voice low and icy. “Did that make you feel better?”“You know exactly what kind of people your mom and your precious little brother are. Probably even better than I do.”“And yet, whatever they say, you just believe it without question. You’re right about one thing, Mariya—break

Isabelle's expression shifted instantly, panic flashing in her eyes. “Vincent… is she really from the Fairchild family?” she asked nervously.Vincent gave a bitter smile. “Not just from the family. From the look of it, she’s the heir—Dr. Fairchild’s one and only granddaughter.”Isabelle fell silent, her face stiffening with unease. The Fairchilds were a top-tier, elite family. If things really got ugly, the Carter family wouldn't even be on their radar.Vivian didn’t spare her a glance. Instead, she turned to Mariya and said calmly, “You must be Karvel’s ex—President Mariya, right?”“I am,” Mariya replied, keeping her voice steady.“Then let me be direct,” Vivian said coolly. “You seem like a smart woman, so I won’t sugarcoat it.”“Your mother and your brother? Not a single word they say is worth believing.”“At the time, your dear little brother pulled a knife on Karvel and tried to force him into something. When that didn’t work, he went in for a slash.”“Oh, and your mom? Ninety

Vincent looked at Karvel with a smirk. “What’s wrong, Karvel? That tone of yours—sounds like you’ve got something to say?”Isabelle scoffed. “Of course he does. He can’t stand that Vincent’s more capable than him. Jealousy’s an ugly thing.”Karvel shook his head. Vincent’s shamelessness really did exceed all expectations.Back when the land deal was going down, it was Markos who called him personally to get approval. If Karvel hadn’t given the nod, the Carter family would’ve never had a shot at that prime orphanage land.Vincent lifted his wine glass, smug and relaxed. “Don’t be like that, Karvel.”“I was being generous, inviting you for a drink. Instead of being grateful, you're throwing shade? From the way you're acting, you'd think you were the one who helped Mariya.”Ethan sneered, “Hah! Him? Please. If that loser could actually pull that off, I’d eat sh*t on the spot.”Karvel turned to Mariya, his voice serious. “Let me give you some advice. You’ve got more than a few snakes and

The bald man leading the group chomped on a cigarette and swept a finger across the room. “Which one of you is the CEO of the Carter Group?”From the way these guys looked—black suits, dead eyes, zero hesitation—it was obvious they weren’t here for friendly business. The restaurant guests shrank back instinctively, sensing trouble.Mariya stepped forward, frowning. “I’m Mariya. What do you want?”The bald guy's eyes lit up, and a filthy grin crept across his face. “Knew it’d be a knockout. Now tell me—your Carter family, you’ve secured that piece of land, haven’t you?”“That’s right,” Mariya replied coldly. “It belongs to us.”“Great,” he sneered. “In that case… boys, take her.”Mariya’s face darkened. “Don’t you dare.”The bald man’s grin widened into something sinister. “Oh, sweetheart, you’ll find out soon enough how dare we are.”“We want that land—and those long, pretty legs of yours too. At least three years of fun, eh?” He laughed, his thugs echoing him with crude guffaws.Eth
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 25
Vincent groaned as he curled into himself, coughing on blood and pride, both spilling out in front of a horrified crowd. His designer suit was torn, his face swollen beyond recognition. He tried to lift his head but another boot to the ribs flattened him out like a rug under a dining table."Still got some fight left in you, pretty boy?" the bald thug leader sneered, circling him like a wolf. “You’re supposed to be Langford royalty? I've seen tougher chihuahuas at grandma’s place.”"Yeah, bark again, poodle. Maybe we’ll neuter you next!" another one cackled, elbowing his buddy.Vincent tried to rise, fury burning in his bruised chest. "You... You’ll regret this! I’ll have your entire bloodline erased—"Crack!A slap resounded louder than the collective gasps around them. Vincent flew sideways, landing flat on his back again.“Oh-ho! Listen to this guy. Thinks he’s in a goddamn mafia movie,” one thug mocked. “Bro, you got no soldiers. You got no backup. All you got is a busted lip and

Karvel Cross stepped out of the hotel lobby, hands tucked into his pockets as the late evening breeze brushed past him. He had intended to walk away from the chaos of the evening—from Mariya, from Vincent, from everything that didn’t concern him anymore.Let it be. I’ve already wasted enough time and energy tonight.But a commotion stopped him in his tracks. Shouts. Cries. The unmistakable sound of someone being struck, hard.He turned slightly, eyes narrowing as he caught sight of a group of men in dark suits forming a circle near the entrance. At the center of it, Vincent Langford stumbled back from a brutal slap, his face contorted in pain.Karvel didn't react right away. Instead, he stood at a distance, arms folded loosely as he observed.Dante Syndicate, he noted silently, recognizing the crest on the bald leader's ring. Small-time enforcers. So what are they doing here? What could they possibly want with the land?From where he stood, it looked like Vincent had tried to put on a

Karvel Cross leaned against a pillar in the hotel lobby, his face an impassive mask as he watched the scene unfold. The crowd surrounding Vincent Langford had grown, their whispers and gasps creating a symphony of fear and excitement.Such pathetic entertainment, Karvel thought, watching Vincent's bloodied face contort with pain. But entertaining nonetheless.The bald-headed thug leader grabbed Vincent by his designer collar, yanking him up only to throw him back down again. Vincent's expensive watch cracked against the marble floor."You think dropping your family name scares me?" the thug leader bellowed, his voice echoing through the lobby. "The Langfords are nothing but insects to us."Mariya Carter thrust herself between Vincent and his attacker, her body trembling but her stance determined. Her eyes were fierce despite the fear evident in her quivering voice."Stop this!" she cried out. "Why are you doing this? Vincent is from the Langford family. Do you know what kind of troubl

The air in the hotel lobby seemed to crystallize as the name "Ryker" hung between them. A collective intake of breath followed—the kind that precedes a storm. Karvel Cross had taken one step forward, his movement causing a ripple of anticipation through the onlookers.So Victor Ryker wants to play this game in the open now, Karvel thought, measuring his next move carefully. Interesting choice.Vivian Fairchild hovered near Karvel, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and fascination. She hadn't expected the situation to escalate to this level—the name Ryker was not one thrown around lightly in their circles."Ryker? As in Victor Ryker?" Vincent's voice cracked, his previous bravado completely evaporated. Blood trickled from his split lip as he stared up at the bald thug leader with newfound terror. "You work for the Victor Ryker?"The thug leader's mouth curved into a cruel smile. "Finally, the pretty boy understands the situation." He yanked Vincent up by his collar. "Yes, Mr. Ryker

The tension in the Imperial Star Hotel’s restaurant was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.Karvel Cross walked away from the Carter family’s table, his expression cool and unbothered. He had no intention of getting dragged into their petty games any longer.But Ethan Carter, drunk on the power of sitting beside Leo Romano and the false sense of importance it gave him, wasn’t about to let Karvel walk away so easily.“You liar!” Ethan shouted, rising sharply from his seat, his face red with both alcohol and rage. “You think you can just stroll in here, say whatever you want, and walk off like you’re better than us?!”Mariya Carter flinched, her stomach twisting with anxiety.Before anyone could stop him, Ethan staggered toward Karvel and raised his hand to slap him.The room seemed to hold its breath.Karvel caught Ethan’s wrist midair without even turning his head. His fingers tightened just enough to make Ethan wince in pain.And then—SMACK!Karvel delivered a slap so resound
Chapter 55
The luxury lobby of the Imperial Star Hotel gleamed under the light of a massive chandelier. Guests moved quietly, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and money.Karvel Cross strode through the lobby, his steps slow but confident. He wore a simple dark suit, but even without flashy designer labels, his aura demanded attention.Three percent of the world's population controls ninety-seven percent of its wealth. The thought flickered through his mind as he observed the opulent surroundings. And these people think they own the very air we breathe.He approached the reception desk, where the manager personally came out to greet him with a slight bow."Mr. Cross," the manager said respectfully, his voice low so as not to draw attention. "Your penthouse suite has been prepared, as per your request. Would you like me to escort you up?"Karvel shook his head. "Just the key.""Of course, sir."As Karvel waited, signing the final documents, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the quiet

Leo Romano lounged arrogantly in his seat at the center of the upscale restaurant, a glass of red wine swirling lazily in his hand. Across from him sat Mariya Carter , her mother, and her brother Ethan Carter, all gathered around a lavish spread of food most of the city’s elite could only dream of affording.Leo’s smile was wide and self-satisfied as he recounted his latest triumph."So there I was," he said with a theatrical wave of his hand, "sitting in Vivian Fairchild’s office, and she had the audacity to defend that bum, Karvel Cross. Can you believe it?"Mariya forced a polite smile, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.Leo leaned in, his voice dropping conspiratorially. "But I put her in her place. Told her she could either have her little company… or her little pet project. Gave her forty-eight hours to make the right choice."Mrs. Carter clapped her hands together in delight. "Mr. Romano, you’re incredible! That woman thought too highly of herself anyway."Ethan laughed loudly
CHAPTER 53
The evening air was crisp as Karvel Cross stepped out of Fairchild Enterprises. His expression was neutral, his gait slow and seemingly careless, as if he had all the time in the world.But inside, he was sharply alert.They're watching.Karvel didn't even need to look over his shoulder. His instincts, honed from years of operating in shadows, screamed the moment he crossed the lobby. He felt the eyes trailing him from a distance—the careful, measured footsteps.Amateur, he thought with quiet contempt. Vivian should've hired someone better if she wanted to track me.Instead of heading straight for his car parked nearby, he turned off the main street into a narrow alleyway between two office buildings, the kind of alley where a man could disappear without a trace.The tail followed.Exactly as I expected, Karvel thought, his mind already several steps ahead. Let's see who's pulling the strings.The moment Karvel stepped around a sharp bend in the alley, he moved swiftly, disappearing b

Karvel Cross stood silently in front of Vivian Fairchild’s office door, his expression composed but his mind running cold calculations.He had been patient long enough.It was time.Adjusting the cuff of his jacket, he knocked once, then pushed the door open without waiting for permission.Vivian sat behind her desk, flipping through some papers with stiff, jerky motions. The moment she saw him, her entire body seemed to tense further, her eyes hardening into something unfamiliar.Karvel’s sharp instincts caught the shift immediately."Vivian," he greeted with his usual calm. "It’s time we had that conversation."She didn’t look up. "I’m busy."Karvel raised an eyebrow. Busy? That wasn’t the woman who had once practically dragged him into her world with stubborn persistence."You said you knew what I wanted," he continued, stepping inside, voice steady. "I think it’s about time you told me."Vivian slapped the papers onto the desk, her chair scraping loudly against the floor as she

Vivian Fairchild was seated behind her sleek glass desk, quietly reviewing stacks of reports and signing documents. The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound in the room, the atmosphere calm and professional.Until the door to her office burst open violently.Vivian’s head snapped up, startled, just as Leo Romano stormed in, his expensive leather shoes clicking aggressively against the marble floor. Her secretary scrambled after him, panic written all over her face.“I’m sorry, Miss Fairchild!” the secretary squeaked, nearly tripping over her heels. “He wouldn’t wait for an appointment—”Vivian’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "That’s enough," she said coolly to her secretary, raising one hand to dismiss her. The girl bowed her head and quickly retreated, shutting the door behind her.Leo didn’t even wait for a greeting."You!" he barked, jabbing a finger toward Vivian, his face red with anger. "What the hell is a woman like you doing mixing with a bum like Karvel Cross?!"Vivian b

Vivian Fairchild sat stiffly in her office, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her mind buzzing with unresolved questions.Karvel Cross’s calm dismissal at the gala gnawed at her. Nothing? He called that chaos "nothing"? Two titans almost tore the room apart because of him, and he acted like it was no big deal.Across from her, Sophia Yale leaned forward eagerly. "Tell me everything again. Slowly."Vivian sighed and recounted the night from beginning to end—how Karvel arrived, how Leo Romano stirred up trouble, how Markos defended Karvel, and how Karvel himself remained infuriatingly nonchalant throughout.When she was done, Sophia drummed her nails on the desk thoughtfully. "It doesn’t add up.""I know," Vivian agreed. "Markos isn’t the type to step in for just anyone."Sophia nodded. "He doesn’t waste time on nobodies. And you said this isn't even the first time?"Vivian nodded. "He also backed Karvel during that orphanage event. Remember when Karvel donated a hundred millio
CHAPTER 49
Mariya Carter hurried after Vivian Fairchild , her heels clicking sharply against the marble as she caught up near the corridor leading out of the ballroom."Vivian, wait!" Mariya called, reaching out.Vivian spun around, eyes blazing. "Save it, Mariya. I'm not interested in anything you have to say."She really believes I betrayed him intentionally, Mariya thought, her chest tightening. When will I stop paying for my past mistakes?"I didn't tell Leo to go after Karvel! I had nothing to do with it!" Mariya insisted, desperation edging her voice.Vivian laughed bitterly. "You expect me to believe that? After the way you threw yourself at Leo the moment Karvel walked in?"She's so blinded by her infatuation with Karvel that she can't see reason, Vivian thought angrily. How dare she play innocent now?"I was just networking!" Mariya protested, her voice rising. "I didn't know who he was—who he is!"Vivian shook her head, disgusted. "Karvel saved you. Your family. And the first chance yo
CHAPTER 48
The grand ballroom buzzed with tension as every eye turned toward the scene unfolding between Markos, Leo Romano, and Karvel Cross.Whispers rippled across the luxurious crowd."Isn't that Markos—the richest man in Carson City?""Why's he defending that guy?""Maybe he just feels sorry for him.""Yeah, must be charity. That man's just a washed-up ex."Despite their murmuring, no one dared to step closer. Most of the attendees, steeped in shallow judgments, couldn't see past Karvel's calm demeanor and simple black suit. To them, he looked like an attractive nobody, lucky enough to catch the eye of a few powerful women.Fools, Karvel thought, maintaining his composed facade. They see what they want to see. A pretty face, a nobody. Exactly as I've planned it.But Mariya Carter wasn't like most of them.Standing at the edge of the crowd, her hands curled into fists as she watched the interaction sharply. No, she thought, this isn't just kindness. This is the second time someone powerful h
