The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife when suddenly, a calm voice broke through the chaos.

"I'll repay the money on Elena's behalf."

Every head turned. Karvel stood in the doorway, his torn clothes and bruised face making him look like a warrior returning from battle.

The table erupted in laughter so loud it could wake the dead.

"Oh my God!" Sarah wheezed, clutching her stomach. "Did that trash just say he'd pay millions?"

"What's he going to use, bottle caps?" Richard cackled. "Or maybe he'll bark at the bank until they give him a loan!"

Patricia shot to her feet, her face red with rage. "Karvel! What are you doing here? You're embarrassing us even more than usual!"

"Sit down and stop making a fool of yourself," Robert hissed. "Haven't you caused enough trouble for one day?"

Even Elena looked mortified. "Karvel, please don't—"

"I'm serious," Karvel said quietly, his eyes focused only on his wife. "I'll handle the money. But right now, I'm here for something more important."

Margaret laughed sharply. "More important? What could possibly be more important than millions of dollars, you delusional flea?"

"Today is our wedding anniversary," Karvel announced, stepping closer to Elena.

 "Since she's not welcome here, I'll be taking my wife somewhere she'll be treated with respect."

"Where?" Vincent sneered. 

"To a soup kitHoward? That's about all your budget can handle, street rat!"

"I've reserved the top-floor restaurant," Karvel said calmly.

 "We'll be celebrating there."

The silence that followed was deafening.

 Then the laughter exploded like a dam bursting.

"THE TOP FLOOR?" Sarah shrieked, tears streaming down her face.

 "He thinks he can access the penthouse level!"

"Someone call animal control!" Richard howled. "This rabid dog has completely lost touch with reality!"

"The top floor costs more per night than you'll make in ten lifetimes, you pathetic worm!" Margaret spat.

Vincent shook his head in mock sympathy.

 "Even my family's wealth couldn't secure the penthouse level. And you think a broke janitor like you could manage it?"

Elena's face burned with shame. "Karvel, please stop. You're just making things worse."

"He's so delusional!" Patricia snarled. "Completely detached from reality!"

"I'm telling the truth," Karvel insisted, his voice steady despite the ridicule raining down on him.

SLAP!

Patricia's hand cracked across his face like a whip. "Get out! Get out before you humiliate us any further! "

Karvel's cheek stung, but he didn't move, for Elena's sake.

"I know it sounds impossible," he said quietly, "but I'm not lying."

"Impossible?" Richard laughed so hard he started choking.

 "It's not impossible, it's insane! You have a better chance of growing wings and flying!"

Just as the mockery reached its crescendo, rapid footsteps echoed from the hallway.

 A man in an expensive suit burst through the doors, his face flushed and panicked.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the hotel manager announced breathlessly, "I sincerely apologize for the interruption, but we need to relocate this event to the second floor immediately."

The laughter died instantly.

"Excuse me?" Margaret's voice was dangerously low.

"A VIP guest has arrived," the manager explained, wringing his hands

. "The entire upper portion of the building needs to be cleared for their use."

Vincent stood up aggressively.

 "Do you know who I am? My family has a significant influence in this city! You can't just—"

"Sir, with all due respect, this is non-negotiable," the manager cut him off firmly. "Please gather your belongings. Security will escort you to your new location."

"This is outrageous!" Richard bellowed. "We paid for the third floor!"

"And you'll receive a full refund plus compensation," the manager replied. "But you must move. Now."

As bewildered guests began filing out, Elena's family noticed something extraordinary happening around them.

 Men in thousand-dollar suits were descending from the upper floors, their faces grim but compliant.

"Is that... is that Senator Williams?" Patricia whispered, pointing at a distinguished older man being escorted down.

"And the Morrison family heir, the first-tier family in the city," Robert gasped.

 "I heard he never leaves his penthouse suite without a security detail!"

"Look at them all," Sarah breathed in amazement. 

"These are people who usually snap their fingers and make problems disappear. But they're all just... leaving?"

Margaret watched in stunned silence as some of the most powerful people in the city quietly evacuated the upper floors like obedient sheep.

"What kind of person," she whispered, "could make all of them move without a single complaint?"

    Chapter 26A warm smile crept across Mrs. Amelia’s face the moment her eyes landed on Karvel. It was as though a weight had been lifted from her heart.“Karvel…” she called out softly, her voice trembling with emotion.Karvel didn’t hesitate. In two quick strides, he was at her side, bending down to wrap his arms around her frail shoulders. He held her tightly, almost as if letting go would make her disappear.“I’m sorry, Mother,” he murmured, his voice thick with guilt.Mrs. Amelia pulled back slightly, her brows knitting together. She shook her head in gentle disagreement. “Why are you sorry? What did you do?”Karvel’s gaze dropped to the floor. “I should have been a better son. I’m sorry for making you go through all this… for not being there when you needed me most.”Her expression softened, and she reached up to cup his cheek. “It wasn’t your fault. You are the best son any mother could ask for. After all, I’m here, alive and healthy, because of you.”Karvel’s lips curved into a

    Chapter 25Karvel rose slowly from the chair, his expression unreadable as he made his way toward the exit. Just as he stepped out, a sleek black car pulled up in front of the estate, and Morrison climbed out, dressed as sharply as ever.“Good morning,” Karvel greeted, his voice calm but laced with anticipation.Morrison nodded politely, instinctively beginning to lower his head in a respectful bow. But Karvel quickly raised a hand to stop him.“You can’t do that here,” Karvel said firmly. “I should be the one bowing to you.”Morrison raised an eyebrow, a slight smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “I’m sorry, Mr. Karvel,” he said in a mock-apologetic tone. “I forgot you haven’t decided to tell everyone the truth yet.”Karvel tensed slightly, but Morrison pressed on. “I called because your mother is awake. She specifically asked to see you. She hasn’t eaten anything since she regained consciousness.”A wave of emotion swept over Karvel’s face—relief, hope, maybe even a little fear

    Richard’s voice boomed across the study, filled with venom and indignation as he turned toward Robert, his face contorted in disbelief. His fists were clenched tightly at his sides, his chest heaving with rage.“You really tried, Robert,” he spat bitterly, stepping closer. “Is this the kind of daughter you raised? Did you teach her to take what was never hers? The compan our company was never meant for her. Never!” He pointed toward the window that overlooked the tall glass building in the distance, the symbol of their family's legacy. “If there’s anyone who deserves to be CEO, it’s me. Me not your daughter! Putting Elena in that chair is a slap in the face to everything this family once stood for. It’s an insult. A disgrace.”Robert remained seated behind the desk, his expression unreadable, yet the faintest flicker of disappointment danced in his eyes. He took a deep breath before answering, his tone calm, but with the weight of a man who had already weathered too many storms.“Ther

    They both ignored the murmurs and judgmental whispers echoing around the hallway as they walked side by side into the boardroom. The heavy glass door shut behind them with a soft click, sealing the tension within. Every eye in the room followed Elena and Karvel’s entrance, surprise and confusion flickering across the faces of the board members.Elena walked confidently to the head of the long mahogany table and gracefully lowered herself into the CEO’s chair. Her presence alone silenced most of the room. Karvel remained composed as he took a seat beside her, his eyes scanning the room calmly.Margret's shot to her feet, her voice sharp and dripping with contempt.“What’s that outsider doing here?” she snapped, glaring at Karvel as though his very presence offended her.Karvel didn’t flinch. His tone was calm, but firm. “I’m not an outsider, Margaret. I’m a shareholder one with legal standing to be present at this meeting. I have every right to be here, just like you.”“You now have t

    Chapter 22The Next DayElena stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting the lapel of her sleek blazer, her eyes scanning her reflection one last time. She could hardly believe it after years of relentless dedication, sleepless nights, and sacrifices, today she would officially step into the role she had worked her entire life for. CEO. The title still felt surreal on her tongue.Behind her, the sound of running water ceased, and Karvel stepped out of the bathroom, his damp hair tousled and a soft smile playing on his lips. He leaned against the doorframe, watching her with quiet pride."Are you ready?" he asked, his voice low and warm.Elena turned slightly and nodded with a smile, her heart fluttering with nerves and excitement."Aren’t you coming with me?" she asked, her tone hopeful.Karvel shook his head gently. "No, I can't go with you. I have somewhere I need to be this morning."She frowned, disappointment flickering across her face. Her gaze dropped for a second befo

    Panic erupted as the once-proud family scrambled in disarray. But no amount of status, threats, or control could stop what had just happened.The moment karvel and Elena family stepped back into their house, Patricia clapped her hands so hard her bracelets jangled. “Fifty percent! Can you believe it? Our Elena—the majority shareholder!” She spun to Robert, her face flushed with excitement. “Margaret’s gonna choke when she sees us at the next board meeting! We’ll be sitting in the front row, not scrounging for invites!”Robert paced, grinning so wide his cheeks strained. “This is it. We’re elite now. Restaurants, parties, penthouses… it’s all ours.” He shot Karvel a sideways glance, disdain sharp in his tone. “Of course, some people still don’t belong in that world. Like you.”Elena, still processing the news, turned to Karvel. “You had Sebastian do this?”He nodded, keeping it simple. “He owed me a favor. Thought it’d help you take control.”Patricia scoffed, waving a hand. “Favor? P
