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

Vanessa whispered in disbelief and shock, her eyes widening. "You want me to break up with him? To abandon him?"Her father nodded."Because of what? Because his father has disowned him?"She scoffed in disbelief. "I can't believe this."Her father exhaled sharply. "Honestly, I expected more from you. I can't believe how naive you're being, my princess.""Why are you still clinging to that loser? What makes him any different from that other idiot—what was his name, Ethan? The one who thought giving you his bone marrow would make you love him?"He scoffed, his words cutting. "Tell me, what sets them apart? Because from where I stand, they're both just desperate losers.""But I believe all this drama is just a phase. Sooner or later, the dust will settle, and his father will call him back. Damian is the only son of his father. The rest of his siblings are girls. So, why would his father abandon him?" She countered."This is exactly what I meant by your lack of foresight and being naive,

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

Ethan groaned as he stirred, the scent of blood still thick in the air. His body no longer ached. Instead, a strange energy pulsed through him, as if a dam had burst open inside his veins. His fingers curled. The ring on his hand glowed faintly. “What the hell…” A flood of knowledge crashed into his mind—techniques, movements, abilities far beyond his understanding. His breath hitched. It was as if an ancient force had awakened within him. Before he could process it, a snarl echoed through the dimly lit cage. The dogs. Their once-aggressive stance wavered. One by one, they whimpered and backed away, their heads lowering. They’re… bowing? To me?Ethan’s heart pounded. He took a cautious step forward. The strongest of the pack—a monstrous black hound with piercing red eyes—let out a low growl, but it wasn’t threatening. It was submissive. A grin tugged at Ethan’s lips. Whatever had changed within him… it was real. A sharp gust of wind swept through the cage, car

Ethan Cross sat in the grand study, his fingers tracing the smooth edge of the black card his father had given him. The weight of Magnus Aurelius’s words still pressed heavily on his mind. “The world is yours to take, Ethan.” "Ethan," Magnus said, leaning forward in his leather chair, "I need you to prepare for the Aurelius Group anniversary tomorrow." Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Me, Father?" Magnus's eyes gleamed with purpose. "Yes, to step up as my heir and take over as CEO —the official announcement will happen at the event." Though he was nervous, he confidently nodded his head. Magnus had no doubt that Ethan would accept. After everything he had endured at the hands of others, Magnus knew he would want to prove them wrong. Ethan let out a slow breath, pushing down the storm inside him. This wasn’t just about stepping into a powerful position. This was about proving something—to himself, to those who had abandoned him, and to the people who thought he was nothing mor

Yvonne giggled, tilting her head. “He's just like a housefly buzzing around a feast, thinking it belongs to the table.” Ethan chuckled, eyes gleaming with amusement. “Funny. But remind me—when has a housefly ever walked away from the table uncrushed?” Blanche turned to the clerk with a huff. “You see how disrespectful he is? And you’re still considering letting him take the herb?” The clerk, desperate to please her, nodded quickly. “Yes, Madam. This establishment values its esteemed clientele above all." The clerk shifted his gaze to Ethan. "Sir, please be reasonable. You wouldn’t want to cause trouble, would you?” Ethan inhaled deeply,clenching his jaw. So that’s how it is? Just because these two draped themselves in gold and reeked of self-importance, they expected the world to bend to their will. He leveled the clerk with a cold stare. “First come, first served. That’s how business works. Or do you just make up the rules as you go?” Blanche rolled her eyes. . “O

The room was thick with silence. Lara’s cold gaze locked onto Manager Hensley, her fingers twitching at her sides. Then— SMACK! The crisp sound of her palm meeting his cheek echoed through the store. Hensley staggered, clutching his face, eyes wide with pure disbelief. Blanche and Yvonne gasped audibly. The clerk nearly dropped to his knees. Ethan? He just smirked. Hensley, still dazed, scrambled to recover. His mind worked at lightning speed, and suddenly, a brilliant conclusion formed in his head—this man, this pathetic errand boy, must be Lara’s personal servant! He immediately bowed. “Madam Lara! I—I had no idea your assistant was here to collect something on your behalf! Please forgive my ignorance!” Lara’s lips twitched in irritation. “My assistant?" Hensley nodded rapidly, sweat forming at his temples. "Yes, of course! A noblewoman like you wouldn’t waste time buying things yourself! This lowly servant should’ve spoken up sooner!” Ethan’s smirk deepe

Vanessa sat at her sleek vanity, her fingers drumming against the polished surface as she listened to her mother’s indignant huffing on the other end of the line. “You should have seen it, darling,” Blanche seethed. "That filthy stray acted like he was somebody important! If I hadn’t witnessed it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it!” Vanessa’s eyes remained cold as she adjusted her earrings. “That doesn’t matter,” Vanessa said flatly. “Tomorrow, at Aurelius Group's anniversary celebration, I’ll be attending with Damian. That's what matters for now. I’ll make sure he gets a proper lesson afterwards." Blanche gasped, excitement immediately replacing her anger. “Oh, you’re going with Damian?” Vanessa smirked slightly. “Yes. And trust me, Damian won’t let Ethan continue to act out. He’ll remind that stray dog of his place.” Yvonne practically squealed. “Oh, this is perfect! He’s just pretending to be rich. I can't wait to see how Damian will get him utterly humiliated!”

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
Chapter Sixty-two
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
Chapter Sixty-one
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
