CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR QUEST BEGINS
After George left, Ellis came into his father’s office. They had spent the day attending a meeting with the mage council, that was why Ellis hadn’t gone to school. “Now that we’ve settled the issue with George, tell me Ellis, how are you taking the news we got from the council?’ Mr VCyrus asked and Ellis sighed.“Honestly, I don’t know what to feel. We only decided to involve them because the true story of the battle between Araghel and Kraevehd was never documented, and we weren’t able to get anything tangible from the books they lent you. They deliberately gave you the books knowing we would come back to them looking for answers, instead of being truthful from the beginning. I don’t know if we should trust them. Kai Khan warned me to be careful of who I trust.”“We have no choice but to rely on the council now. At least we were able to find out the true history of Kraevehd, and why just the mention of the name instils so much fear among those who know of Cultivation.” He said to El
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR PETTY SQUABBLES
Emily stared at her reflection in the mirror, smiling at what she saw. A genius. If she was not a genius, she would not have come up with the plan she came up with just a few minutes ago. She straightened her dress and smiled more, a hint of pride playing her lips. Just a few weeks ago, she had been reduced from her state of the Royale College queen to an ordinary, regular face in the school. But all that was all about to change now. Emily's gaze shifted to the object sitting on her dresser - a sleek black compact containing her foundation and concealer. She picked it up slowly and opened it. Dabbing in her brush, she applied some of the makeup on her face. She knew that she was running late for school, but she did not care. To get the attention she wanted, she had to be unusual, to be late. She applied the makeup and proceeded to work on her hair. She had seen a new style on YouTube and decided to try it today, being a Monday. At first, the process of the hair styling was not going
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR PARKING LOT
Anne's fingers clenched into fists at her sides as she watched Emily under her lashes. She was more than angry, and even disappointed at Brittany for letting Emily sit at their table. She utterly despised Emily and now, even worse for the words that she had just told her, and the attention that she was gathering for herself. "Get used to seeing me around here," Emily spoke after Anne sat down beside Brittany. She continued,"You should know by now, Anne. I never back down when I am onto something. Now, I am on to Ellis. And as you can tell for yourself, I am back where I used to be. I don't need to tell you what to do next, sweetie. You know what to do. Leave Ellis the fuck alone."Anne opened her mouth to speak back, but Emily was quick to cut her off. "Oh, don't waste your breath now," Emily said. "I have done all the talking. All you have to do now is listen. Things will be better that way." With that, Emily stood up slowly and left. Her friends followed behind her too, as she l
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR EMILY BACK ON TOP
Anne's reign as the sexiest girl at Royale College was quite a long one, thus dethroning Emily for quite a while. Emily had actually not seen Anne keeping up with her Instagram image coming well like this, until it played right before her. This made Emily more than envious of Anne. Anne had the attention of everyone in school and Emily feared that she might have Ellis in her chokehold too. And that would mean that Anne had won her in their game of who had an upper hand. Ellis was the price, whoever got him was the winner.Emily got totally fed up with Anne's show and charade one day, and decided to do something about it. She gave it so much thought, and when she could come up with nothing, she settled at the one thing she had always contemplated. Spreading deadly rumors about Anne. A few days later, Emily took her plan to action. Fueled by simmering resentment, Emily made a calculated plan to say the words so that Sarah Thompson, one of Anne's friends would hear. Sarah was known for h
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR MR KINGSLEY
Dennis Kingsley had been nursing a growing hatred for Ellis ever since the day at the Royale Company that he was humiliated, and decided to do something about Ellis today. He had totally hated having to kneel in front of little Ellis to plead for being rude to him before his introduction. It was such an insolent and belittling thing for Dennis who was a vain control freak, and he badly wanted to teach Ellis a lesson for making him embarrass himself in public like that. His hatred grew when the humiliation happened a second time, and this time it was in front of all the board members.Dennis slammed the door behind him as he entered his office, his face flushed with anger and humiliation. How dare that little punk Ellis make him kneel and beg for forgiveness like some kind of court jester? This whole thing was getting unbearable for him. He and Ellis never got along, he knew, but he did not think it would come to this. He did not think it would come to Mr Cyrus asking him to apologise
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR PLAYING ALONG
His buzzing phone interrupted his musings. Glancing at the caller ID, Dennis saw it was the chief director from accounting calling. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to push aside his churning emotions and slip back into the charming yet professional demeanour he typically wore when relating to his superiors. "Isabelle, hi! What can I do for you?" he answered in an affable tone."Am I on to Mr Kingsley?" The voice asked. "Yes, you are.""Oh," she relaxed, "you sounded quite different there, so I had to confirm. The auditor general would like to have a view of the net worths of our competitors right away. Please make your way to his desk with the information.""Okay. Thank you, Isabelle." Dennis maintained his sweet voice."Also, make a duplicate copy for my desk. I will be needing the information as well.""Yes, ma'am.""Thank you."There would be plenty of time to torment Ellis Royale in the days and weeks ahead. For now, he had a role to play — the perfect, model employee and
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR EXPOSING THE SABOTAGE
Dennis's next plan to sabotage Ellis was to make him make a fool of himself in the upcoming marketing presentation to the board. The marketing department were to present their new marketing ideas to the board members for approval, every year. As it turned out, this year, Ellis had joined them, and as a part of his training in the department, he was given a topic to make a presentation on. Ellis began his preparations, ranging from research to statistical analyses, and practising public speaking. He did these diligently, so as to make a good impression on the board, and be granted approval to move on to another department for his internship. Ellis felt his face flush with embarrassment as confused looks spread across the board members' faces. This was clearly not the presentation they had been expecting from the soon to be CEO. His shoulders slumped as he realised with dawning horror that Mr Dennis Kingsley must have made a mistake with the topic, or intentionally misled him about it
CHOSEN AS THE TRILLIONAIRE'S HEIR DENNIS PUNISHED
Mr. Cyrus did as he said and began to look into Dennis's files. He wanted to know how Dennis managed the department, and to find out how he could mix up Ellis's presentation topic without anyone noticing. This began the next day after the presentation, and in less than a week after that, Mr Cyrus found more than he was looking for. Mr Cyrus slammed the file down on his desk with a resounding thud. His face was flushed with anger, and his eyes burned with a fury that only a few had ever witnessed. The documents before him painted a picture of betrayal and malice that shook him to his core.Dennis Kingsley, the manager of the marketing department, had been stealing the company's proprietary ideas and selling them to a rival firm. Not only that, but there was enough proof apart from the presentation mix up that he had been actively sabotaging the work of Ellis. The audacity to do that to Mr Cyrus's own son and heir apparent to the Royale empire was just too appalling to think about. Mr

THE FINALE
The bell above the door jingled merrily as Ellis pushed it open, cradling his newborn son Derek in his arms. Zoey watched them both, her face glowing with joy and fatigue after the difficult labor. After the tumultuous path that had led him here - the battles with rivals, the crushing workload, the periods of self-doubt - he had truly found peace at last. His company was thriving, his beautiful wife was by his side, and now they had brought new life into the world. As he gazed down at Derek's tiny, scrunched-up face, Ellis felt a surge of fierce, protective love unlike anything he had experienced before. "Welcome, little man," Ellis murmured, leaning down to kiss his son's head. The click of stiletto heels on hardwood announced the arrival of Amelia, Ellis's indispensable executive assistant. Her usual brisk demeanor melted into a warm smile as she caught sight of the family. "Congratulations, you two," she said, placing a gentle hand on Derek's back. "He's absolutely precious." Zo

FORGIVEN
Emily nodded, finally finding her voice after reining in her tears. "Thank you, truly. I don't even know what to say beyond how grateful I am that you're both willing to start taking steps toward forgiveness," She paused, swallowing hard against the lump in her throat."I hurt you both in such an unfair, selfish way and I'll regret that forever. You didn't deserve that at all," Emily went on, her eyes glistening with sincerity. "But I hope I can show you both through my sustained actions and personal growth that I'm not that toxic, jealous person anymore who let obsession cloud my judgment so severely."Zoey gave her a sad smile, her eyes still holding remnants of past hurt. "It's going to take time, Emily. A lot of time. You have to understand how profoundly your lies and manipulation destabilized my relationship with Ellis.""I know," Emily replied solemnly. "And I don't expect your forgiveness or renewed trust to come easily at all. I'll need to prove myself over and over again. I'

A STEP FORWARD
As she drove away, Emily couldn't help but let the tears flow freely. She cried for the hurt she had caused and the potential permanent damage she may have done to their relationship. She cried at the thought of Ellis's disappointed look when he realized she had tried to take advantage of him and his vulnerability during his close breakup with Zoey. And she cried over the self-loathing and remorse she felt for letting herself become such an ugly, selfish person for a period of time due to her unhealthy jealousy.Deep down, Emily realized she may have permanently burned the bridge of friendship with Ellis and her based on her actions. While she desperately hoped she could prove herself changing through therapy and personal growth, the possibility that their close bond of trust could never be salvaged was very real. And she would have to live with that heavy burden knowing she had brought it all upon herself. Over the next several weeks, the silence and distance from Ellis and Zoey was

SHE SEEKS FORGIVENESS
Emily paced back and forth nervously in her living room. Tomorrow was Ellis and Zoey's first anniversary and she had finally decided it was time to come clean and apologize for the lies and manipulation she had put them through around the time of their dating some time ago. She knew that they may not listen to her, but she had found love with someone, and she was trying to turn a new leaf for him. She wanted him to see that she was serious about changing her spiteful character, and hoped to show her love for him that way. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. This was the right thing to do, regardless of how awkward or uncomfortable it might be. Ellis and Zoey deserved the truth and a sincere apology from her after everything that had happened.Emily thought back to how it had all started over a year earlier. She had been harboring feelings for Ellis, long before he had started dating Zoey. But thinkingback, she knew that she never truly loved Ellis. She had just been aft

DEFEATED THE EVIL
Meanwhile, in Ellis’ mind, he was in a chamber he didn’t recognise, standing alone. He looked around but he couldn’t find a way out of the place. There were no walls, no windows, no lower basement entrance. He tried touching the walls to see if there was a secret passage, but nothing happened. He called out several times, but got no response. He didn’t know what to do, and though he vaguely knew that it was a dream, he still felt a little weird, like it was actually happening. After several failed attempts to escape the weird chamber, he sat on the floor and began to meditate.He tried to reach for his aura deep within him, to see if it could somehow lead him out of there. He could feel the Qi, but it was not obeying his command. It was like it was locked down somehow. But he didn’t give up, he remained in a meditative pose, and calmed himself down till his heart rate slowed considerably. While in that state, he heard a voice. “Congratulations, you passed the test. I made the right c

HONEYMOON
For their honeymoon, Zoey was ecstatic when Ellis took her to the Maldives. She had always wanted to visit there. And not just that, Ellis had also purchased a private island in Zoey’s name, so she could always come there at any time. He planned to have a beach villa built there later so they could use it as a vacation spot, but for the time being, just a log cabin had been erected. The log cabin had modern amenities, like a hot tub, kitchen with up to date appliances, running water, a standby generator, etc. But it also had rustic features like a real fireplace with a chimney, an outdoor grill pit, a cleared out campsite, and a small lake instead of a swimming pool.The place was beautiful. They spent their first night there in bed all day, then they slept till afternoon. After waking, their meal had already been prepared by the local chef Ellis had hired. He didn’t want Zoey stressed out during the honeymoon, she would only cook if she chose to. Hehad so many activities planned for

WEDDING
As the months ticked by, everything slowly started falling into place. Zoey's dress was altered to perfection. The venue was booked and the menu tasting was complete — they selected a seasonal tasting menu with locally-sourced ingredients. The cake was a delicious vanilla sponge with tart lemon curd filling and a Swiss meringue buttercream frosting. One of Zoey's favorite touches was Gemma's idea to have a "coffee bar" at the reception with gourmet coffee drinks, flavored syrups and delicious accompaniments like biscotti and cannoli. She knew their guests would appreciate a delicious caffeinated pick-me-up after dancing the night away.In the last few weeks leading up to the wedding, Zoey was a bundle of nervous excitement. She tried her best to get enough rest and stay hydrated, knowing she needed to be in top form for the biggest day of her life. Ellis, on the other hand, seemed to take everything in stride. His calm, steady presence was invaluable for keeping Zoey grounded when she

PROPOSAL
Ellis took a deep breath as he looked across the candlelit table at Zoey. Her eyes sparkled in the flickering light and her dark hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders. After so much time together, he knew this was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He reached across the table and took her hand in his. "Zoey, we've been through so much together these past several months. You've supported me every step of the way as I took on the challenging role of CEO at Royale Company. You're my partner, my best friend, my everything. I know some people may find it too soon, or some may say that you’re after my money. But I know in my heart that what we have is real. " He paused, his heart pounding in his chest as he got on one knee, and brought out a custom made diamond ring that cost a hundred million dollars. Zoey gasped. "I don't want to imagine my life without you by my side. Zoey, will you marry me?"Zoey's eyes went wide and she brought her hands up to cover her mou

IN JAIL
George, for his part, saw his gilded life come crashing down in what felt like an incomprehensible nightmare. Gone were the bravado, the vainglorious sense of entitlement, the belief that he could indulge in whatever impulse struck him without consequence. His charmed existence had been brutally ripped away, replaced by the sullen, emasculating confines of a jail cell and the prospect of an incarceration looming ahead. Just like his brother, Marcus. Stripped of his identity, his wealth, and the support system that enabled his wanton ways, all George was left with was to reckon with his shattered sense of self. None of his party friends even visited, or tried to help him. He thought they would have his back, but now his eyes had cleared.His thoughts often drifted to Lisa, the wife whose unconditional love he had so wantonly discarded in pursuit of shallow gratification. Was it truly worth sacrificing everything — his marriage, his family, his father's pride and the staggering family f
