"Ding! You have reached the 111th floor! Please exit and enjoy!"The gentle sound reminded Arnold it was time to step out. He adjusted his worn-out suit, brushing away a wrinkle that didn’t exist, his fingers trembling slightly.‘Every penny, every sacrifice…’ he thought, stepping onto the polished marble floor. His shoes barely made a sound as they touched the cold, smooth surface. ‘All for this moment. A moment to cherish forever with her. Worth it!’He glanced around, eyes wide with hope and anticipation. The soft music, the sea of red roses glowing under the warm candlelight, and the twinkling stars overhead…it was perfect.‘She’s going to love this,’ he thought, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. ‘Diana… tonight is for us… for our future…’His heart was pounding as he imagined her reaction. He could almost see her face light up, her eyes sparkling with joy, her smile soft and blushing.He stared at the romantic scene he had prepared…red roses glowing and candles flicker

Arnold staggered out of the suite, the door slamming shut behind him like a final judgment. He was utterly shocked, replaying Ethan's cold, sneering voice.“He looked like a dejected dog, didn't he?”Arnold froze in his tracks, his heart twisting painfully in his chest. They hadn’t even waited for him to leave before mocking him. A cruel laugh followed Ethan’s words, one that had once been sweet and comforting. The one he had loved for years…“Pathetic. He is like the perfect example of ‘The toad wants to eat the swan.’ I am really fed up with his ignorance.”Arnold felt like the ground was falling away beneath him. He’d expected her to be distant, maybe even cruel, but this? She was laughing at him, tearing him down like he meant nothing.‘How did it come to this?’ His mind raced, struggling to comprehend the depth of her betrayal. ‘How could she turn so cold, so heartless?’As his thoughts churned, his gaze fell to the ring lying cold on the polished marble floor—a bitter reminder o

Arnold’s eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the luxury car his grandfather had just handed him. “Thank you, Grandpa,” he said, his voice trembling with awe.His grandfather responded with a warm smile and a gentle pat on Arnold’s hand. “You’re welcome, my boy. Remember, this is just the beginning. Much more awaits you.”Arnold settled into the luxurious seat, the soft leather embracing him in comfort. The fresh, calming scent of the forest inside the car helped ground him as he tried to process the surreal turn his life had taken. “I never imagined I’d be sitting in a car like this, let alone owning one,” he murmured, almost to himself.Aron chuckled, pride and amusement in his voice. “Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? This car is just a small part of what’s coming your way. You’re stepping into a world you never dreamed of.”Arnold turned to his grandfather, seeking reassurance. “I’m not sure I’m ready for all this, Grandpa. It feels… overwhelming.”Aron nodded, unde

Leaving the villa, Arnold couldn’t shake the mix of anxiety and determination brewing inside him. The reality of his newfound status still felt so dreamy, but he knew there was no turning back. As they drove in the Lincoln, the butler, Rex, remained calm and composed. His presence was a silent assurance that Arnold wasn’t alone in this.The sleek car pulled up in front of Star Corporation, the building towering above them, a familiar yet now foreign sight for Arnold. He took a deep breath as they stepped inside the lobby. The memories of his last day here, being fired over the phone, still stung.“Let’s get this over with,” Arnold muttered, encouraging himself as they walked toward the reception desk.The receptionist, a woman named Sarah, recognized Arnold immediately. A smirk spread across her face, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she greeted him. “Oh, Arnold, what are you doing here? Didn’t you get the notice? You don’t work here anymore.”Arnold opened his mouth to respond, bu

Arnold could feel his blood boiling as he stood in front of Diana and Ethan, their sneers fueling his anger. The situation was escalating out of control rapidly, and despite his best efforts to stay calm, their nonstop mockery was pushing him to the edge.“So, Arnold,” Ethan began, his tone dripping with disdain, “Oh my, oh my, still trying to play the big shot? It’s pathetic. You can’t even afford a decent suit, and you want us to believe you own this car?”Diana laughed, the sound cold and cutting. “Honestly, Arnold, you’re better off admitting you’re just a thief. It might save you from further embarrassment.”Arnold’s fists clenched at his sides, but he forced himself to respond calmly. “Keep talking, Ethan. You’re only digging a deeper hole for yourself. And Diana, you know nothing about me anymore.”Ethan’s smirk widened. “Oh, really? Is that why you’re driving this stolen car? Because you’ve suddenly become someone important? You’re still the same loser who couldn’t hold on to
