My Cheating Wife Shocked: I'm the octomillionaire Heir

CHAPTER 4

Darius stepped out of the grand hotel into the freezing night. His dark coat shielded him from the harsh wind. The bright neon signs reflected in the dark puddles on the concrete. His phone vibrated heavily in his deep pocket. The screen displayed the name Elena. She was the beautiful and ruthless CEO of the Segreto Corporation.

"Good evening." Darius held the phone close to his ear. He wanted this call to be very quick and productive.

"Boss." Elena gripped her golden pen tightly in her luxurious office. "The grand commercial dinner party is tomorrow night. I desperately need you to finalize the official list of our future business partners. We have many eager companies waiting for your final approval."

Darius paused completely. He stared at the empty street for a long quiet moment. His chest felt heavy with the fresh memory of his cruel wife. Caroline had humiliated him for three long years. She treated him like literal garbage. Removing her from this massive deal was the absolute perfect revenge.

"Remove Caroline completely from the final list." Darius narrowed his eyes at the glowing streetlamp. "Add Carina to the primary partner position instead. Make sure Caroline gets absolutely nothing from our company." He knew this decision would completely destroy his arrogant wife.

"Consider it done immediately." Elena smiled brightly at her large mahogany desk. "Her company will be completely blacklisted from all our future projects. Will you finally attend the grand dinner party tomorrow night?"

"I will be there." Darius watched a black car drive past him in the wet street.

"This is incredibly exciting news!" Elena stood up from her leather chair with pure overwhelming joy. "I will personally wait at the main entrance to receive you. I will announce your true identity to the entire city. Everyone needs to know who the real king is."

"Do not do that at all." Darius kept his voice completely flat and calm. "There is absolutely no need for you to receive me or announce anything. I want to keep my identity completely hidden for now."

"I understand completely." Elena bowed her head slightly even though he could not see her. "I will prepare everything according to your exact wishes."

The next evening arrived quickly. The Segreto Corporation dinner party venue was incredibly extravagant. Giant crystal chandeliers hung from the high painted ceiling. Wealthy guests in expensive suits and glittering gowns filled the massive hall. Waiters carried silver trays full of crystal glasses. Darius walked through the massive front doors wearing a simple but perfectly tailored black suit.

"You actually came tonight." Carina walked toward him in a stunning red silk dress. She looked absolutely thrilled to see his handsome face again.

"I had some free time." Darius put his hands into his pockets calmly.

"I received a golden invitation at the very last moment today." Carina laughed a beautiful and melodic laugh. "I know this was completely your doing. You gave me the biggest opportunity of my entire career. Thank you for saving my life and my company."

"You earned it yourself." Darius looked around the crowded room with mild interest.

The heavy glass doors opened wide at the main entrance. Caroline walked inside wearing an incredibly expensive diamond necklace. Her delicate arm was wrapped tightly around Lorenzo. Lorenzo wore a flashy white tuxedo and a highly arrogant smirk. Caroline scanned the crowded room with supreme confidence. Her cold eyes suddenly locked onto Darius and Carina standing together near the large stone pillar.

"You are the most perfect man alive." Caroline patted Lorenzo on the chest with extreme gentleness. "You always bring me to the most exclusive and wonderful places. You are my absolute first priority forever." She truly believed Lorenzo was a literal god among regular men.

"Only the absolute best for my beautiful queen." Lorenzo kissed her cheek softly. "We will secure the biggest contract tonight."

Caroline turned her head away from Lorenzo. Her warm and loving expression vanished instantly. A mask of pure disgust and absolute freezing ice replaced her gentle smile. She marched directly toward Darius with heavy stomping steps. Lorenzo followed closely behind her with a mocking and cruel grin.

"What is a disgusting street rat doing here?" Caroline glared at Darius with pure venomous hatred. "Did you sneak in through the dirty kitchen door to steal leftover food? You are absolutely pathetic."

"I walked through the front entrance." Darius looked at her without a single ounce of emotion.

"You are a pathetic lying loser!" Caroline crossed her arms tightly over her chest. "This is the most exclusive event in the entire city. A useless piece of dirt like you could never afford a ticket. You probably begged the security guards on your dirty knees like the cheap beggar you are."

"He does not need to beg anyone." Carina stepped forward to defend him immediately.

"Oh look at the other pathetic loser." Caroline laughed loudly and cruelly. "You do not have an invitation either. You are just a failing business owner who is about to go completely bankrupt. You two worthless rats are absolutely perfect for each other."

"You have no idea what you are talking about." Carina clenched her fists at her sides. She desperately wanted to slap the arrogant smirk off Caroline.

"I know exactly what I see." Caroline pointed a sharp manicured finger directly at Darius. "My useless husband is still the same good for nothing garbage. You are just relying on another woman to buy your cheap meals. You are a disgusting parasite who drains successful women. You are absolute dirt compared to a real man like Lorenzo."

"Lorenzo is nothing but a flashy clown." Darius kept his posture completely relaxed and indifferent.

"Do not you dare insult my Lorenzo!" Caroline stepped closer with pure fiery rage in her dark eyes. "Lorenzo runs a massive empire. He is wealthy and powerful and brilliant. You are just a cheap maid who cleans my toilets. You are a complete failure of a human being. You are nothing but useless street dirt!"

"You talk entirely too much." Darius watched her temper tantrum with utter complete boredom.

"I talk because you need to hear the harsh truth!" Caroline sneered with a deeply ugly expression on her beautiful face. "You have no money. You have no power. You have no future. You are a complete joke to everyone in this room. People look at you and they only see filthy trash."

"You are embarrassing yourself in public." Carina shook her head in pure disbelief.

"The only embarrassing thing here is you two losers!" Caroline threw her head back and let out another harsh mocking laugh. "You and your pathetic new boyfriend are going to be thrown out by security in five minutes. You are both completely disgusting losers without real invitations. You should crawl back to the filthy gutter where you belong."

"We will see who belongs in the gutter." Darius turned his attention away from her completely. He knew she was going to face the ultimate humiliation very soon.

"Ignore them my sweet king." Caroline turned back to Lorenzo with a sudden sickeningly sweet smile. "Let us go find the Segreto CEO. We have a massive contract to sign tonight. We do not need to waste our precious breath on worthless cheap dirt."
