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 bourbon in Victor Ryker's crystal tumbler caught the amber light from his desk lamp, creating dancing shadows across his hardwood desk. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Carson City's nightscape spread like a blanket of jewels against the darkness. Victor watched it with detached interest, his face a mask of practiced calm belying the rage simmering beneath.The mahogany double doors to his office swung open without a knock. Three men stumbled in—battered, bruised, and bleeding their failure onto his imported carpet. The leader, a bald mountain of a man who typically inspired fear in others, now limped pathetically, one eye swollen nearly shut beneath a hastily applied bandage.Victor didn't bother looking up. "You're late."The bald thug dropped to one knee, whether from pain or deference wasn't clear. "Boss, we... we ran into trouble."Only then did Victor raise his glacial gaze, the silence stretching uncomfortably before he responded. "Trouble?" The word emerged like a ser

Karvel Cross had barely stepped out of the clinic when his phone buzzed in his pocket. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the parking lot as he glanced at the screen—Sophia Yale. His jaw clenched involuntarily at the sight of her name.He debated ignoring it for a moment, thumb hovering over the decline button, but something told him it wouldn't stop there. With Sophia, it never did. He picked up. "What?""You sound as charming as ever," Sophia said with a silky chuckle that carried memories he'd rather forget. "I was just calling to say… since you'll be treating Vivian for the next few days, I've made arrangements for your stay at the hotel. You'll find it more convenient than commuting across the city."Karvel frowned, leaning against his car. The metal felt cool against his palm. "Unnecessary. I've got my own place."Sophia's voice hardened beneath the honeyed tone, a transition he knew all too well. "You will stay at the hotel, Karvel.""I said no." His response was c

The soft hum of Mariya Carter's office was broken by the sharp slam of the door, the sound reverberating through the modern space like a gunshot. The framed architectural awards on her wall trembled slightly.She looked up from her desk, eyes narrowing as irritation flashed across her face. "You have five seconds to leave before I call security." Her finger hovered over the intercom button, poised and ready.Vincent Langford strolled in smugly, ignoring her threat, adjusting the sleeve of his tailored charcoal suit like he owned the place. The afternoon sunlight caught the gold of his watch as he moved."Oh, come on, Mariya," he said with a smirk that didn't reach his cold eyes. "You'll want to hear what I have to say."She glared at him, her posture stiffening. The memory of their last encounter—her palm stinging after connecting with his face—was still fresh for both of them. "I doubt it."Vincent leaned against the edge of her desk, watching her carefully, invading her space with d
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 41
Karvel Cross stood tall, unfazed, as Victor Ryker paced slowly in front of him, dressed in his signature silk suit, a twisted smile playing on his lips.Around them, the air was thick with tension, and behind Ryker, half a dozen armed guards waited silently, watching Karvel with a mixture of caution and disdain.These aren't just thugs, Karvel noted. These are his elites—the ones who haven't seen me fight yet.Ryker took a slow drag from his cigar, exhaling smoke that curled upward like a serpent. The acrid scent filled the space between them, a deliberate intrusion."You know," he began, tone deceptively conversational, "I've had a lot of men brought to this room over the years. Some begged. Some cried. Some swore they wouldn't break." And they all did in the end, his smug expression seemed to say.Karvel said nothing, arms loose at his sides, eyes sharp and calm. His mind catalogued every movement, every potential weapon, every exit.Six armed men, one overconfident crime lord, and

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

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
