As Adrian yelled, “You! What are you doing in a place like this?” confusion etched across his face.
A man stepped out from the entrance. A man I hadn’t seen before yet he was smiling at me like he knew me. “Mr. Carnegie! It’s nice having you here, Sir. Please follow me,” he said, his voice smooth and professional. I smirked, nodding at him. He indeed knew me. Just before we could move, Adrian's voice rang out again, louder this time. “Sir! Why are you calling him ‘Sir’? This man here is a broke ass peice of shit, who should be begging on the street after getting divorced by my cousin and thrown out of the house!” The man beside me laughed ; The one who was ushering me in. He turn to look at me, then back at Adrian. “I am sure that you don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his tone dismissive. “In fact, in a few minutes, he’s going to own this company alongside other billion-dollar enterprises.” Adrian scoffed, disbelief etched on his features. “Come on! you really think because he’s dressed up in an expensive suit, he can just buy this place? I’m the manager here, and my father is the CEO! There’s no way we will be selling our company, not to talk of selling it to fraudulents like you,” he said, his eyes drifting between me and Marcus. Marcus kept quiet, I was sure that he was enjoying the moment like I was. But then, Shock coursed through me. I hadn’t known this about Adrian, this was his father’s company? Good lord! I couldn’t help but smirk at the thought of it. “Well, you’ll see upstairs,” the man said, motioning for us to move forward, And we did. Well, Adrian trailed behind us, his expression still that of arrogance and disbelief. --- ADRIAN’S POV: I followed them into the building, my mind racing. This had to be a joke. There was no way that dude would own enough money to buy the company in just a month. Frauds! As they approached the CEO’s office—My Dad’s office, I felt a surge of irritation. How would my father even entertain this losers? I shook my head in disbelief. This is absurd. As I walked into my fathers office, nothing prepared me for what I saw. My father was on his knees, pleading with Ethan. (Scuffs) someone tell me what is going on. “Please Ethan, forgive me for all I did, I didn’t know,” “Father, Why are you kneeling in front of him. Don’t you remember him. The broke guy with the unreachable dreams, Nora’s useless ex-husband,” I raised my brow, hoping to see my father come back to his senses but my father shook his head in disagreement. “He’s not who we think he is Adrian. He’s someone else, someone completely different. And now he owns our company,” My father mumbled and slowly, fear began to seep in. “Dad, don’t tell me you’re selling your biggest companies to him!” I shouted, my voice a mix of anger and disbelief. “Who is he to purchase this company?” “Adrian, shut up! You’re making things worse,” my father snapped, his forehead glistening with sweat. “Why? Why are you holding me from speaking?” I demanded, my heart racing. “He’s not just buying our company; he’s buying the whole estate! Our company is going down with it!” The realization hit me like a punch to the gut. My father was groveling at the feet of the very man we had mistreated. And now, he was the one holding our cards. I stood there, frozen at the thought of it. But How? How did Ethan become this? How did he acquire so much wealth in a short period of time? This is so good to be true. ETHAN’S POV… “I could see it, I could see the regret seeping in as he looked up at me, not just regret but fear. I could only wonder how the Adrian I once knew—so confident, so powerful—the one who would always ruin the little happy moments I had— the one who would always remind me of how useless and poor I was. was now trembling. His whole body shook with the reality he couldn’t bear to accept. He was staring at me, his expression that of disbelief. And In that moment, I felt strangely satisfactied. I mean, How else would he have received his Karma?—how else? The tables had turned, and the man who once belittled me was now confronted by the consequences of his actions. I said it, I said it that they would all pay, but sadly, this was just the beginning. “No!” he yelled, his voice cracking as he wiped tears from his eyes. Anger replaced the fear on his face, and I watched as his expression shifted dramatically. “This is a lie! And I’m not buying this!” With that, he stormed out of the office, the door slamming behind him. The room was quiet and I could hear the echoes of his footsteps fading down the hallway. In the silence that followed, I let out a shaky breath. The man who had once thrived on my suffering was now faced with his own collapse. I could almost taste the irony. (Giggles)Related Chapters

Marcus and I turned to leave, when I heard Mr. Felix call out to me, “Ethan, please wait!” We both stopped, frowning back at him. “But how?” He started. “How are you the son of Mr. Carnegie, the most powerful and feared man in the state, and you chose to be poor for all those years? Why?” I paused, a smirk escaping my lips. “Well let’s say the universe chose to play it that way, just so people like you would be exposed.” I said, nodding my head and with that, I walked out the door, Marcus following close be

I knocked on my wife’s door, waiting for her to give me permission to come in. But I didn’t hear her voice. I know, husbands and wives are meant to share a room and a bed, but that isn’t the case for Nora and me. We’ve been married for four years, but this is where our marriage has ended up. Four years ago, everything was different. I can vividly remember the last day of college when Nora approached me, confessing her feelings for me, which left me stunned because she was a wealthy girl from an opulent background. Compared to me, I was just a penniless orphan with nothing to offer her. As our relationship grew, her family began to despise me for being poor and lacking prospects. Initially, Nora stood by me, but the pressure on her became unbearable. And Eventually, she broke down. Things began to take a turn as every day became a reminder of how useless and worthless I was to her. I still didn’t give up. I tried countless businesses, determined to prove I could be a better man
Ex-husband's Sweetest Revenge. Another man?
TWO DAYS LATER. I sat in the small cell of the police station, my gaze fixed downwards as thoughts of the incident two days ago swirled in my mind. It felt surreal—arrested for punching Adrian. But honestly, I didn’t regret it. The satisfaction of finally standing up for myself outweighed the consequences. Despite the nagging thought that no one would bail me out, I tried so hard to push it away. A few minutes later, an officer approached my cell, eyeing me with disgust. Slowly, and with a sense of arrogance, the officer unlocked the gate and gestured for me to step out. I hesitated, confused. What was happening? I was sure no one from that family would bail me out, not even Nora. So why was he telling me to step outside? “Step out,” the officer said, his voice flat. “You’re being released.” I blinked, still processing what was going on. Was this a joke? Or a setup? I thought to myself. But slowly, I stepped outside, bracing myself and getting prepared for whatever

The moment she raised her hand to show me her ring, I felt my heart shatter. I wanted to speak; I wanted to scream, yell! But I held my tongue. I turned to leave, but she yelled again. “And wait!” I paused. This time, I didn't turn back to them. “You're also leaving,” she said. I frowned, finally turning to her, taken aback. “Right now?” I asked, wondering how heartless and cruel she could be. Nora clearly knew I had nowhere to go, yet she had the audacity to tell me I would be leaving. “First you cheat on me, then you serve me divorce papers, and as if that's not enough, you’re asking me to leave?” “Yes! And you will leave right now!” I turned back quickly as I heard Mrs. Thompson approach us. She smiled at Nora, who slowly put on her robe. Hans leaned back as if watching an interesting scene unfold. I shut my eyes in annoyance because I knew things would only escalate while Mrs. Thompson was there. This can't be happening. “I hope you're not refusing to leave. We
Ex-husband's Sweetest Revenge. No Way!
Without a second thought, I lunged forward, shoving the first guard aside. He stumbled back, his smirk fading into shock. I didn’t wait to see where he landed; I focused on the other two. One of them swung a baton at me, but I ducked just in time, feeling the rush of air as it past me. I countered with a quick jab to his gut, the satisfaction of impact jolting me. He doubled over, gasping for breath. The third guard, now enraged, charged at me. I sidestepped, using his speed against him. He crashed into the wall, a grunt escaping his lips. The first guard was back on his feet, but I was ready for him. As he lunged, I grabbed his arm, twisting it behind him. “Arghhhh!” He screamed in pain and I felt the satisfying snap of his grip loosening as I pivoted, sending him crashing to the ground. Finally, I stood over them, panting heavily. The three guards sprawled on the ground, whimpering in pain, all defeated. I took a slow breath, before I spoke. “You can’t mess with

“Good day, Mr. Ethan. It’s nice to see you.” The man smiled warmly, but shock coursed through me. How did he know my name? I swear I have never seen this people in my life.( scuffs) This had to be a prank. Maybe the Thompsons were pulling some ridiculous stunt on me. But, looking at these men, with their polished suits and commanding presence, it felt like a stretch.

Look who it is!
“Ethan, wake up,” Marcus said, shaking my shoulder firmly. I groaned and squinted at the clock on my bedside table, it was 5:00 AM, I looked up at him, my brows furrowed. “Seriously? It’s way too early for this!” I rolled over, pulling the covers tighter around me. There was no way I was getting up this early after being beaten up badly by Josh yesterday. I could still feel the pain throbbing in the areas I was hit, And what I needed right now was sleep. Lots of sleep. Marcus remained undeterred, standing beside my bed with arms crossed. “I woke you up at five because tomorrow you’ll be getting up at four. It’s your first day of a new routine.” “Four AM? Are you kidding me?” I rubbed my eyes, feeling sleepy as hell. Marcus leaned forward slightly, his expression serious. “Let me tell you this; Billionaires wake up early to maximize their productivity. They use that quiet time to plan their day, exercise, and focus without distractions. It’s a mindset shift. You’re a qua

(Screams! Pains!)
I stood, confused—he was my partner, not an opponent. But without warning, Josh charged at me, his eyes fixed with a fierce intensity. I barely had time to brace myself as his fist rocketed toward my face. I quickly ducked, dodging his fist. I countered with a kick aimed at his side, but he anticipated my move, sidestepping and grabbing my leg. In an instant, I was off balance, crashing to the ground. The impact rattled through my body, and I struggled to regain my steps. Josh was relentless. He didn’t give me a moment to breathe. He lunged again, this time landing a solid punch to my ribs. Pain exploded, and I gasped, doubling over. I tried to push back, throwing a wild punch, but he ducked and countered with a sharp uppercut that caught me square in the jaw. “Arghhh!” I groaned, stumbling back. I was disoriented. My vision blurred for a moment, but I shook my head, trying to clear it. I couldn’t let him see my weakness, he wanted a fight and I was going to give it to h

My Best Friend.
“Josh?” I stuttered, confusion washing over me. “What are you doing here?” Marcus stepped back, allowing Josh to stand in front of me. He smelled different, like money mint mixed with an expensive cologne. “Josh is your partner for this training,” Marcus explained. “He’s been assigned to guard you until you’re ready to take over your father’s mission.” My heart raced. “Guard me? Why didn’t he tell me?” “Because he has to keep his cover,” Marcus replied, his tone firm. “Josh isn’t just your friend; he’s been playing a role to stay close to you. The truth is, he’s a trillionaire.” I felt dumbfounded—dumbstruck—bewildered. “What? Josh? A trillionaire? No way. He’s been driving an Uber for the past four years,” I said, turning to glance at Josh again. No, this can’t be true. “Exactly,” Marcus said, leaning closer. “He’s been pretending to be average to protect you. His mission is to ensure your safety and prepare you for what’s ahead.” I scoffed, running my hand through my hai

THE NEXT DAY….The training began the next day in a dimly lit warehouse. Marcus, the man who had just revealed my parents’ hidden lives, was now my mentor. He stood in front of me, his expression serious as he explained what layed ahead. “This is where you’ll learn to harness your potential, Ethan. It’s going to be intense, and you need to give it your all.” I nodded, feeling a bit excited and nervous. This wasn’t an ordinary training; it felt like I was stepping into a new reality. “First, we’ll start with combat basics,” he said, leading me to a training area. “You need to defend yourself before tackling any missions.” We approached a row of training dummies that looked worn but sturdy. Marcus handed me a pair of gloves. “Put these on. We’ll start with some basic strikes.” I slipped the gloves on, feeling their weight, this was strange—New. I watched Marcus demonstrate a series of punches, each movement smooth and precise, the sound of his fist connecting with the dummy
