DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 1 Engagement Canceled
"I'm sorry, Karvel. I can't go through with this marriage."In the president's office of Carter Group, Mariya, the CEO, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her expression as cold as her words.Dressed in an elegant dress, she looked every inch the aloof beauty the tabloids loved to praise.Across from her sat a man—handsome but plainly dressed."Mariya, what are you saying?" Karvel's voice trembled slightly. "We agreed on this, didn’t we?"They had. The plan was clear: the day Carter Group went public; they would end their three-year relationship and finally get married. But now—"I'm going to be honest with you.""Karvel, the distance between us… it’s just too big now. Don’t you see?""It’s like heaven and earth. And to me… it’s just a burden."A burden?Karvel stared at her, stunned.He hadn’t expected Mariya to say that.The woman whose company he’d helped save from bankruptcy.Carter Group’s success today? His doing.Mariya’s achievements? He'd been there every step of
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 2 Thief?
Inside the elevator.Click!Karvel opened the unremarkable ring box.A dazzling blue light burst forth.He had grown up in an orphanage. This was the only known heirloom from his family—a long-lost treasure he had spent billions reclaiming years ago.The gem inside was legendary, believed to be a lost royal artifact—utterly unique.The gemstone alone was worth enough to buy out a hundred of his girlfriend’s companies.Originally, Karvel had planned to propose with it.But both his girlfriend and her secretary had dismissed it as worthless junk.The elevator doors slid open.Karvel stepped out of the elevator, only to be blocked by a man coming towards him."Huh? Karvel? Why do you look so miserable?"A mocking voice greeted him from the front.Karvel calmly glanced over.Standing in his path was a man in a tailored suit, hair slicked back, holding a bouquet of red roses.Vincent Langford—infamous playboy and one of the most persistent admirers of the icy CEO, Mariya.Karvel didn’t wan
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 3 Misunderstood
Mariya’s expression changed dramatically. “What did you just say? He stole it? The Heart of the Ocean?”That jewel was legendary among the upper class.Mariya had done her own research on it in secret. She had even dreamed that if she ever got married, wearing that gem would be the ultimate fairy-tale moment.Vincent doubled down. “Exactly. I saw it with my own eyes. If you don’t believe me, ask the employees who were there. That guy’s gone completely insane, stealing a national treasure just to win your heart. He’s finished.”Mariya looked uncertain. “As far as I know, Karvel may be poor, but he’d never stoop to something as low as theft.”Vincent sneered. “That’s exactly why he stole it, because he’s poor. Think about it, Mariya. If he didn’t steal it, how else could a guy like him possibly have the Heart of the Ocean?”Isabelle chimed in, backing him up. “He definitely stole it. No doubt about it.”She was fuming inside. Who would've thought that plain black box Karvel had been ho
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 4 AUCTION
Vincent grimaced. Every word he spoke pulled at his swollen face, making him wince in pain.“Did you forget? Tonight’s the orphanage charity gala. That land has caught the eye of quite a few powerful players.”At the mention of business, Mariya instantly switched into her sharp, capable CEO mode.“That’s right. The orphanage land is incredibly valuable. I intend to claim it, no matter what.”Vincent grinned flatteringly. “I knew you wouldn’t let such a prize slip by. Don’t worry. Our family will fully support yours. With both of us working together, it’s practically a sure win.”At that, a smile blossomed on Mariya’s face, bright and elegant, like a blooming rose.“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Young Master Vincent.”“But let’s be clear. Your family helps us this time, and we’ll return the favor next time.”Winning a smile from the beauty, Vincent was practically glowing with delight.His face twitched again as he smiled, sending fresh jolts of pain through his bruised cheeks. Inwar
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 5 Attacked
Markos pulled the car over onto a quiet street.The auction was starting in ten minutes.“Are you sure you don’t want me to drop you off right at the entrance?” Markos asked.“No,” Karvel replied. “I’m not looking to make a scene like some nouveau riche. Just park in that alley up ahead.”Markos nodded, turned the wheel, and guided the Maybach into a narrow alleyway.Karvel reached for the door handle.But just then, a commotion up ahead caught his attention.At the far end of the alley, a sleek black luxury car was boxed in by two bulky SUVs.A group of eight or nine men surrounded the vehicle, all wearing black jackets.Karvel narrowed his eyes.Markos gently tapped the brakes. “What’s going on here?”Karvel muttered, “What do you think? Looks like a carjacking.”He opened the door.“I’ll go see what’s happening.”Markos grabbed his arm. “Boss, let me call in the bodyguards. No need to take risks.”“No need,” Karvel said as he stepped out. “Not worth making a fuss over a few street
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 6 Boy guard
He took down those thugs like it was nothing.His combat skills might even outmatch her hired bodyguards.“St-Stop right there!”Seeing Karvel closing in step by step, the bald man panicked. “I’m warning you—stay back! If you lay one finger on me—ugh!”Before he could finish, Karvel punched him square in the gut.The bald man collapsed to his knees, choking, and vomited bile from the pain.At that moment, Sophia stepped out of the car and walked over, looking down at the man with cool detachment.“Talk. Who sent you?” she asked.“I... I...” the bald man stammered.“No?”Sophia gave a soft smile, picked up one of the fallen knives, and pressed it lightly to his neck.“Then I’ll carve it out of you—inch by inch.”As soon as she raised the knife, the bald man panicked.“Wait! I’ll talk! It was the Garnett family—second young master of the Garnetts! He sent me!”With his life on the line, loyalty wasn’t even a consideration.Sophia narrowed her eyes. “And why would the Garnetts be interes
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 7 My Man
Night had fallen, and the city lights sparkled to life.In front of the orphanage, the plaza had been transformed. A red carpet stretched across the ground, and the air buzzed with elegance—suits, gowns, perfume, and laughter. Successful elites strolled in with their partners, ready to mingle.“Miss Sophia, welcome!”The orphanage’s director personally greeted Sophia Yale at the entrance.Just as Sophia opened her mouth to respond, the elderly man adjusted his glasses and noticed the man standing beside her. His eyes lit up.“Dr. Karvel? You came too? Oh my, the children have been waiting for you!”Several children from the orphanage rushed over, calling out “big brother” as they surrounded Karvel excitedly.Sophia blinked in surprise. She hadn’t expected that even as the heiress of the prestigious Yale family, she’d be overshadowed by a young man.As she stood there slightly dazed, a few high-profile guests walked by and politely greeted her.Sophia smiled back, thinking, Finally, so
DEAR CHEATED GIRLFRIEND, I AM TRILLIONAIRE HEIR CHAPTER 8 Not A Lie
Karvel cursed under his breath and turned around, his expression indifferent. “What can I do for you, Miss Mariya?”The smile on Mariya’s face faltered. “So it really is you, Karvel... Are you still angry with me?”Karvel took a deep breath. The storm in his heart settled in an instant.“Heh... Miss Mariya must be joking. A nobody like me doesn’t have the luxury of holding grudges. If there’s nothing else, I’ll step aside. I wouldn’t want to offend the CEO’s sensibilities.”“Wait—you’re not going anywhere!”Seeing him about to leave, Mariya took a step forward, her voice serious. “Even though we’re no longer together, Karvel, I still think you’re a decent person. So please, just this once—listen to me. Turn yourself in, okay?”Karvel let out a cold chuckle. What a foolish, self-righteous woman.Even now, she had no idea what was really going on.“How about this, Miss Mariya—why don’t you call the police right now and have them arrest me?”He gave her a sidelong glance.Mariya was m

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
