Ethan Cole has spent his entire life being treated like dirt—an orphan, a nobody, the kind of person people look right through. But the ultimate betrayal comes from Vanessa, the girl he gave everything to, only for her to use and discard him like he was nothing. Just when he thinks life can’t get any worse, a shocking truth is revealed: he was never meant to live in poverty because he is the rightful heir to the Aurelius fortune, the son of the powerful Magnus Aurelius. Now, armed with his true identity and the resources of the Aurelius Group at his fingertips, Ethan is ready to make everyone who looked down on him pay. But as he steps into the world that was stolen from him, he realizes that his enemies who separated him from his father never left and are ready to strike again. With betrayals at every turn and secrets more dangerous than he imagined, Ethan must fight to claim what is his. But power comes at a price. Will he survive long enough to take revenge? Or will the past swallow him whole before he gets the chance?

Chapter One
Moans. Not just any moans—Vanessa’s. The woman he had loved, the woman he had sacrificed so much for. Ethan Cross stood frozen outside the door as his grip on the doorknob tightened. The message she had sent earlier replayed in his mind: I want you tonight. Was this what she meant? Was this some sick joke? His pulse pounded in his ears. His stomach churned. Before he could think twice, he kicked the door open. CRASH! The door slammed against the wall, revealing the twisted reality inside. Vanessa lay sprawled beneath Damian Hayes, the notorious rich playboy known for treating women like disposable toys. Their sweaty bodies intertwined in the dim light, the sheets barely covering their shame. Vanessa gasped, grabbing the sheets in mock modesty, but Damian? The bastard grinned. “Oh, well, shit. Looks like the Piggy finally found his way home.” Ethan’s world tilted. His heartbeat thundered in his chest. This can’t be happening. His voice cracked. “Vanessa…?” S

Cheated & Despised, now the Billionaire Heir Chapter Sixty-seven
The voices of Vanessa's family and the soft clinking of the cutlery in the spacious dining room felt distant, like they were happening in another world as Vanessa barely touched her food.She sat quietly, picking at the grilled chicken on her plate as her thoughts spun wildly.She wasn’t there—not really. Her mind was stuck on the look on Damian’s face—the way shock hit him when the cameras caught the exact moment his dad publicly disowned him."Did he even have anywhere to go now that his father had disowned him?" Her chest ached just thinking about it.Her phone lay beside her, screen dark; still no response from him. She had called too many times already.“He could at least answer my calls.” Frustrated, she let her fork drop onto the plate, the soft clink cutting through the noise around her."What if he’s breaking down right now and I’m just here… eating? How is he handling everything? Does he have anyone with him?" Her brows pulled together as the troubling thoughts swirled in he

Mr. Chen pretended to be completely unaware of Ethan's presence at the counter, who was now staring at him as he continued sipping his drink.Curiosity got the better of Ethan, and he walked over.“I really hope you’re not stalking me,” he scoffed, his brows drawing together slightly as he stopped beside Mr. Chen.Mr. Chen looked up and quickly forced a smile. “Oh, it's you.”He gestured to the empty seat across from him.“Hmm…” He tilted his head slightly once Ethan had taken the seat."Let’s just call it a coincidence.”“I honestly didn’t know you hang out here. Or… is this your first time?” he added with a smile.Ethan narrowed his eyes, studying Mr. Chen’s expression. He didn’t buy it. There was no way someone like Mr. Chen would randomly show up at a place this far from the city—especially not a spot with such a low profile—unless he had a reason. And right now, Ethan was pretty sure that reason was him."I think the ring makes me hear people's thoughts, after all," Ethan thought

The dim lights of the bar cast a warm glow across the wooden counter.It was nearly empty, just the way Ethan liked it.Soft jazz played through the speakers, blending with the quiet clink of ice in glasses and the low murmur of a few scattered conversations.In the corner, the bartender lazily wiped down glasses, clearly not interested in anything past the edge of the bar.Ethan sat alone in a booth, one hand wrapped around a glass of whiskey, the other holding his phone.He took a slow sip, eyes locked on the screen as one of the trending videos of Damian's father officially cutting ties with his own son played.Ethan had seen it more times than he could count, but it still made him grin.“From this day forward, I no longer recognize him as my son.”As the words echoed through the speakers, his grin grew wider.Then, he let out a small chuckle, tilting the glass as he muttered under his breath, “Good.”He knew Damian's father's decision was a strategy in order to protect the company

Ever since that leaked audio started blowing up online, Vanessa had been freaking out—and Damian still wasn’t answering her calls.Now, in her room, she was pacing back and forth, relentlessly calling him again and again until her door suddenly burst open.Her heart nearly jumped out of her chest, eyes wide with panic—until she saw it was just her sister, Yvonne.“You scared the hell out of me!” she snapped, lowering her hand from her chest.“Why did you just barge in like someone was chasing you?”Yvonne’s brows were knitted in concern. “You haven’t seen the breaking news, have you?”Vanessa groaned, clearly irritated. “What now? Don’t tell me it’s about the expose on Damian and the Copper Group?”“Didn’t we all get to know about that like some minutes ago in the living room?” Her face tightened even more.Yvonne shook her head, still breathless from running. “No, it’s something else.”She paused to catch her breath, studying Vanessa’s still-clueless expression. “Yeah… you definitely

The tension in the air was sharp enough to slice through skin. Slowly, Damian turned to face his father, just like everyone else was doing. The company security bowed respectfully to his father.His father stood a few feet away, flanked by two stiff-looking guards in suits, his expression unreadable but his eyes full of disgust—locked right on Damian.But Damian didn’t care about any of that. He tried to take a step forward, hoping to silently plead with him.Only, he didn’t even get that far, as his father’s eyes stopped him cold, followed by his voice—icy and filled with disdain—as he pointed at him like he was something rotten.“I told you, didn’t I? Stay away from anything that carries the Hayes name,” his father snapped, loud enough for the whole crowd to hear.The reporters froze for a moment—then chaos as cameras flashed like lightning and gasps echoed through the crowd. They rushed past the barricade, desperate to catch every second of the disaster unraveling right in front

Damian’s grip tightened around the steering wheel as his car inched closer to Copper Group’s headquarters.The entire street was a mess of flashing cameras, raised microphones, and reporters jostling for position.The second his car slowed down, they swarmed like vultures, slamming their palms against the window, their voices blending into a chaotic blur.Before opening the door, he took a deep breath and stepped out.He had already rehearsed what he would say. The truth—or at least, his version of it—had to sound convincing.The second he stepped out, the crowd exploded."Mr. Hayes! What do you have to say about your company’s alleged use of the chemical compound in the production of Lurexorin?”“Are you admitting to risking the lives of consumers?”“Now that the government has sued and shut down all your subsidiaries till the legal proceedings, what is your next move?”The questions came rapid-fire, the microphones shoved so close to his face that he had to resist the urge to knock

Still inside the car, sweat beaded on Damian's forehead, rolling down the side of his face like the slow drip of impending doom, even as the AC blasted at full speed.He didn’t even wipe it away because his mind was too clouded with thoughts of what awaited him.His fingers were now gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned white as his father’s words, "Consider yourself disowned. You are no longer my son," echoed in his mind.The weight of humiliation settled deep in his chest because he knew that his father's decision was absolute.He had never known a life without wealth, without privilege. He had always been his father’s son—untouchable, respected, feared. Now? Now he was nothing—it was being stripped away like a filthy rag. The thought alone sent a wave of panic crashing over him.The sleek interior of his Maserati felt suffocating now, like a luxurious coffin."Fuck!" he shouted, voice cracking."This can’t be happening. This can’t be real," he muttered, lo

Damian’s throat tightened the moment he heard his father’s voice.He didn’t need anyone to tell him—he already knew his father was talking about the scandal caused by the leaked audio recording.“Am I talking to a ghost, you fool?!” his father barked, his voice sharp enough to cut through bone.Damian swallowed hard, shutting his eyes for a moment to steady his breath before opening them again and forcing himself to speak. "I... I don't know how it happened, Father. It's—""You don't know how it happened?" his father scoffed, cutting him off."You really said that just now?" he scoffed again."You know… the biggest mistake of my life was leaving the company in your hands. You’ve always been a disappointment, and now you’ve proven it beyond a doubt.” His father's voice was laced with regret, disgust, and anger.“With your level of incompetence, I doubt you’re even capable of running one of the subsidiaries. I should have tested you with that first before trusting you with the entire gr

With the directors and executives gone after Damian reluctantly took Ethan’s advice to leave, only three people were left in the boardroom—Ethan, Magnus, and Lara.The air still carried the weight of the chaos that had unfolded.Ethan leaned back in his chair.Lara, still shocked as to how everything had happened, just like Magnus, turned to Ethan."But how did you know about it?" Her voicewas laced with confusion."The flaws in the deal, the hazardous chemical compound used in the drug’s production, and not to mention the recording."She gave a slight shrug. "I mean, no one caught it. Not even the legal team after reviewing it for weeks. But you—"Magnus scoffed. “Obviously, it’s the superior intellect that comes with being the ring bearer and King of the World."“Because if someone like me—who has spent weeks dissecting that damn proposal—missed those flaws, yet he spotted them in just a few days…"He gave a slight shrug. "Well, that’s the only explanation that makes sense."Ethan
