DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 30
As Vincent Langford's true character unraveled before her eyes, a memory surfaced in Mariya's mind—Karvel's warning about Vincent weeks ago. His words had been clear, precise, and utterly dismissed by her at the time."He'll abandon you the moment things get difficult," Karvel had told her. "Men like Vincent only care about themselves."Mariya had laughed it off then, convinced it was simply jealousy speaking. Now, watching Vincent scramble to save himself at her expense, those words echoed with painful clarity.I should have listened, she thought, her chest tightening. I was so determined to prove Karvel wrong that I refused to see what was right in front of me."Vincent, please," Mariya tried one last time, her voice softer now, almost pleading. "Just tell them the truth. You know you arranged this deal. You promised me—promised my family—that the Langfords would protect us."Vincent's face twisted into an ugly sneer, all pretense of charm completely abandoned. "Take responsibility
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 31
The hotel lobby had fallen silent, save for the occasional whispers from onlookers who couldn't believe the spectacle unfolding before them. Mrs. Carter stared at Vincent Langford in disbelief, her hands trembling with rage as his words sank in."This... this is the man I thought was better than Karvel?" Mrs. Carter's voice quivered. "You're leaving us to these thugs when we need you most? Even Karvel wouldn't stoop so low!"Vincent's face flushed red as he struggled to his feet, wincing from the bruises that covered his body. The once-pristine suit he wore was now torn and stained."Watch your mouth, old woman!" Vincent spat, his voice cracking. "What did you expect? That I'd get myself killed for your daughter's stupid business deal?"Ethan lunged forward despite his already battered condition, only to be held back by one of the thugs. "You spineless coward! After all those promises you made to my sister! To our family!"Vincent laughed bitterly, brushing dust from his sleeves with

The bald-headed thug leader watched the drama unfold with growing impatience. His eyes narrowed as he assessed Mariya's defiant stance. There was profit to be made here, and Mr. Ryker was not a man who tolerated failure."Listen carefully, Miss Carter," the thug leader said, his voice deceptively calm as he straightened his leather jacket. "We can make this simple. Sign over the land ownership to us right now, and this all ends. You and your beaten-up family can walk away."The hotel lobby remained tense, with onlookers keeping their distance yet unable to tear their eyes away from the confrontation. Mariya stood with her back straight despite the fear churning in her stomach."And if I refuse?" Mariya challenged, her voice steadier than she felt.The tattooed thug chuckled. "Then we do this the hard way. And trust me, pretty girl, you don't want the hard way."Vincent, still nursing his bruises, saw an opportunity to ingratiate himself with the thugs—and by extension, Victor Ryker. I

The tension in the hotel lobby reached a breaking point as the bald-headed thug leader's eyes darkened with unmistakable lust. His gaze traveled slowly over Mariya's form, lingering in ways that made the onlookers shift uncomfortably. The other thugs exchanged knowing glances, their smirks revealing yellowed teeth."You know," the leader said, his voice dropping to a husky whisper as he stepped closer to Mariya, "maybe we should sample the merchandise before delivering it to Mr. Ryker."He reached out suddenly, his thick fingers stretching toward Mariya's chest with brazen intent. "A little taste won't hurt anyone."The collective gasp from the crowd seemed to happen in slow motion. Mrs. Carter cried out in horror while Ethan struggled against his captor with renewed vigor. Vincent backed away further, his eyes wide with shock but doing nothing to intervene.In that moment, something fierce and primal awakened in Mariya. Without hesitation, her hand shot up and connected with the thug
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 34
A stunned silence fell over the hotel lobby after Mariya’s hand struck the leader’s face. The crisp sound echoed briefly, freezing the thugs mid-step. They exchanged uncertain looks, murmuring amongst themselves in confusion."Did that woman just slap Boss?" the tattooed thug whispered incredulously. He stared openly at Mariya, unable to hide his shock."Yeah, and in front of everyone, too," muttered another thug, eyeing their leader warily. "Where the hell did she find that courage? Vincent’s already ditched her."Vincent, still hunched and aching from his beating, sneered bitterly from the sidelines. "I told you idiots she's arrogant. Thinks she's above everyone.""Shut up, Langford," growled the leader, eyes blazing with fury. His cheek burned, not just from the slap but from humiliation as well. He stepped forward, menace radiating off him as he glared at Mariya. "You really don’t understand your position, do you? First, you slap me. Then you threaten me with cops?"Mariya swallow

“Stop.”It was calm. Cool. Controlled. But its authority was absolute.Every head in the lobby turned sharply.Karvel Cross stood at the edge of the circle, one hand casually in his pocket, his eyes steady and cold as ice. The thugs hesitated, glancing at their leader for instruction. The leader frowned in confusion, then scowled as he realized the voice had come from the man leaning so nonchalantly by the wall just moments ago.“Who the hell are you supposed to be?” he asked, irritated by the interruption.Before Karvel could respond, murmurs rippled through the crowd.“Isn’t that the guy Mariya dumped?”“Yeah… why’s he stepping in now?”“Don’t tell me he’s still simping for her after all that.”Mariya blinked in disbelief. Karvel? Why now? Why would he—Even Vincent was caught off guard, though his jealousy flared fast. He scoffed, eyes narrowing. “Oh, please,” he sneered. “The failed fiancé wants to play hero? This isn’t your business, Cross. You’re just trying to butt in and feel
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 36
Vivian Fairchild stood frozen at the edge of the crowd, her heart hammering as she watched Karvel Cross surrounded by thugs like a pack of wolves ready to devour. Her usually sharp eyes were clouded with worry.“This is bad,” she muttered. “They’re going to tear him apart…”She took a step forward, ready to intervene. Maybe if I called my father, or made a few calls, I could pull strings. Get him out of this... If she saved him now, he’d owe her for life.But just as her fingers touched her phone, she remembered the secretary’s words.“Karvel Cross is not who he seems. That man... is dangerous in a way most people can’t understand.”She paused, gaze narrowing. Maybe... maybe I should wait. Let’s see what he does on his own.Across the room, Mariya stood silently, heart thudding in her chest. Her legs felt weak, her mind torn between confusion and guilt.Why is he helping me? After all the things I said... after I humiliated him... he still—"Why isn't he walking away?" she whispered.
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR Chapter 37
The silence in the hotel lobby was deafening. Not a soul moved. The once-boisterous crowd now stood frozen, stunned by the scene they’d just witnessed. Karvel Cross stood tall among the groaning thugs sprawled on the marble floor like discarded trash, unbothered, untouched, and dangerously calm.All eyes were on him, yet he seemed to carry no need for attention. He turned slowly—expression unreadable—until his eyes landed on Vincent Langford.Vincent stiffened immediately.Karvel’s gaze darkened. This coward... this disgrace... A part of him wanted to walk over and finish what life had clearly been too soft to teach Vincent.Vincent, seeing that piercing look, panicked. His mind raced. He’s going to beat me next… I can’t let that happen!Without shame, Vincent stumbled to his feet and limped hurriedly toward Mariya. “Mariya!” he cried out, forcing tears into his voice. “You saw it, right? This... this is all Karvel’s fault!”“What?” Mariya snapped, her brows furrowing. “What are you t

The tension in the Imperial Star Hotel’s restaurant was so thick, it could be cut with a knife.Karvel Cross walked away from the Carter family’s table, his expression cool and unbothered. He had no intention of getting dragged into their petty games any longer.But Ethan Carter, drunk on the power of sitting beside Leo Romano and the false sense of importance it gave him, wasn’t about to let Karvel walk away so easily.“You liar!” Ethan shouted, rising sharply from his seat, his face red with both alcohol and rage. “You think you can just stroll in here, say whatever you want, and walk off like you’re better than us?!”Mariya Carter flinched, her stomach twisting with anxiety.Before anyone could stop him, Ethan staggered toward Karvel and raised his hand to slap him.The room seemed to hold its breath.Karvel caught Ethan’s wrist midair without even turning his head. His fingers tightened just enough to make Ethan wince in pain.And then—SMACK!Karvel delivered a slap so resound
Chapter 55
The luxury lobby of the Imperial Star Hotel gleamed under the light of a massive chandelier. Guests moved quietly, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and money.Karvel Cross strode through the lobby, his steps slow but confident. He wore a simple dark suit, but even without flashy designer labels, his aura demanded attention.Three percent of the world's population controls ninety-seven percent of its wealth. The thought flickered through his mind as he observed the opulent surroundings. And these people think they own the very air we breathe.He approached the reception desk, where the manager personally came out to greet him with a slight bow."Mr. Cross," the manager said respectfully, his voice low so as not to draw attention. "Your penthouse suite has been prepared, as per your request. Would you like me to escort you up?"Karvel shook his head. "Just the key.""Of course, sir."As Karvel waited, signing the final documents, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the quiet

Leo Romano lounged arrogantly in his seat at the center of the upscale restaurant, a glass of red wine swirling lazily in his hand. Across from him sat Mariya Carter , her mother, and her brother Ethan Carter, all gathered around a lavish spread of food most of the city’s elite could only dream of affording.Leo’s smile was wide and self-satisfied as he recounted his latest triumph."So there I was," he said with a theatrical wave of his hand, "sitting in Vivian Fairchild’s office, and she had the audacity to defend that bum, Karvel Cross. Can you believe it?"Mariya forced a polite smile, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.Leo leaned in, his voice dropping conspiratorially. "But I put her in her place. Told her she could either have her little company… or her little pet project. Gave her forty-eight hours to make the right choice."Mrs. Carter clapped her hands together in delight. "Mr. Romano, you’re incredible! That woman thought too highly of herself anyway."Ethan laughed loudly
CHAPTER 53
The evening air was crisp as Karvel Cross stepped out of Fairchild Enterprises. His expression was neutral, his gait slow and seemingly careless, as if he had all the time in the world.But inside, he was sharply alert.They're watching.Karvel didn't even need to look over his shoulder. His instincts, honed from years of operating in shadows, screamed the moment he crossed the lobby. He felt the eyes trailing him from a distance—the careful, measured footsteps.Amateur, he thought with quiet contempt. Vivian should've hired someone better if she wanted to track me.Instead of heading straight for his car parked nearby, he turned off the main street into a narrow alleyway between two office buildings, the kind of alley where a man could disappear without a trace.The tail followed.Exactly as I expected, Karvel thought, his mind already several steps ahead. Let's see who's pulling the strings.The moment Karvel stepped around a sharp bend in the alley, he moved swiftly, disappearing b

Karvel Cross stood silently in front of Vivian Fairchild’s office door, his expression composed but his mind running cold calculations.He had been patient long enough.It was time.Adjusting the cuff of his jacket, he knocked once, then pushed the door open without waiting for permission.Vivian sat behind her desk, flipping through some papers with stiff, jerky motions. The moment she saw him, her entire body seemed to tense further, her eyes hardening into something unfamiliar.Karvel’s sharp instincts caught the shift immediately."Vivian," he greeted with his usual calm. "It’s time we had that conversation."She didn’t look up. "I’m busy."Karvel raised an eyebrow. Busy? That wasn’t the woman who had once practically dragged him into her world with stubborn persistence."You said you knew what I wanted," he continued, stepping inside, voice steady. "I think it’s about time you told me."Vivian slapped the papers onto the desk, her chair scraping loudly against the floor as she
Chapter 51
Vivian Fairchild was seated behind her sleek glass desk, quietly reviewing stacks of reports and signing documents. The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound in the room, the atmosphere calm and professional.Until the door to her office burst open violently.Vivian’s head snapped up, startled, just as Leo Romano stormed in, his expensive leather shoes clicking aggressively against the marble floor. Her secretary scrambled after him, panic written all over her face.“I’m sorry, Miss Fairchild!” the secretary squeaked, nearly tripping over her heels. “He wouldn’t wait for an appointment—”Vivian’s eyes narrowed dangerously. "That’s enough," she said coolly to her secretary, raising one hand to dismiss her. The girl bowed her head and quickly retreated, shutting the door behind her.Leo didn’t even wait for a greeting."You!" he barked, jabbing a finger toward Vivian, his face red with anger. "What the hell is a woman like you doing mixing with a bum like Karvel Cross?!"Vivian b

Vivian Fairchild sat stiffly in her office, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her mind buzzing with unresolved questions.Karvel Cross’s calm dismissal at the gala gnawed at her. Nothing? He called that chaos "nothing"? Two titans almost tore the room apart because of him, and he acted like it was no big deal.Across from her, Sophia Yale leaned forward eagerly. "Tell me everything again. Slowly."Vivian sighed and recounted the night from beginning to end—how Karvel arrived, how Leo Romano stirred up trouble, how Markos defended Karvel, and how Karvel himself remained infuriatingly nonchalant throughout.When she was done, Sophia drummed her nails on the desk thoughtfully. "It doesn’t add up.""I know," Vivian agreed. "Markos isn’t the type to step in for just anyone."Sophia nodded. "He doesn’t waste time on nobodies. And you said this isn't even the first time?"Vivian nodded. "He also backed Karvel during that orphanage event. Remember when Karvel donated a hundred millio
CHAPTER 49
Mariya Carter hurried after Vivian Fairchild , her heels clicking sharply against the marble as she caught up near the corridor leading out of the ballroom."Vivian, wait!" Mariya called, reaching out.Vivian spun around, eyes blazing. "Save it, Mariya. I'm not interested in anything you have to say."She really believes I betrayed him intentionally, Mariya thought, her chest tightening. When will I stop paying for my past mistakes?"I didn't tell Leo to go after Karvel! I had nothing to do with it!" Mariya insisted, desperation edging her voice.Vivian laughed bitterly. "You expect me to believe that? After the way you threw yourself at Leo the moment Karvel walked in?"She's so blinded by her infatuation with Karvel that she can't see reason, Vivian thought angrily. How dare she play innocent now?"I was just networking!" Mariya protested, her voice rising. "I didn't know who he was—who he is!"Vivian shook her head, disgusted. "Karvel saved you. Your family. And the first chance yo
CHAPTER 48
The grand ballroom buzzed with tension as every eye turned toward the scene unfolding between Markos, Leo Romano, and Karvel Cross.Whispers rippled across the luxurious crowd."Isn't that Markos—the richest man in Carson City?""Why's he defending that guy?""Maybe he just feels sorry for him.""Yeah, must be charity. That man's just a washed-up ex."Despite their murmuring, no one dared to step closer. Most of the attendees, steeped in shallow judgments, couldn't see past Karvel's calm demeanor and simple black suit. To them, he looked like an attractive nobody, lucky enough to catch the eye of a few powerful women.Fools, Karvel thought, maintaining his composed facade. They see what they want to see. A pretty face, a nobody. Exactly as I've planned it.But Mariya Carter wasn't like most of them.Standing at the edge of the crowd, her hands curled into fists as she watched the interaction sharply. No, she thought, this isn't just kindness. This is the second time someone powerful h
