THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 27
The stress could be felt in the bar. Lucas Nelson, better known as "Cobra," knelt next to his whining assistant Anton and bowed his head in shame. His vibe, which was usually sharp and scary, had changed into that of a man who was begging for forgiveness. Marvol, who was so proud before, was now lying on the floor with his face on the sticky wood.As Lucas looked at Marvol, his voice was a mix of anger and respect. "Your family's security guard? Small amounts of money for the Elliots. Idiot!""The whole thing wouldn't even make up 0.1% of their business interests.”When Marvol realized how bad his mistake was, he started to cry and hit the floor over and over with his face. "Please excuse me, young Master Elliot! Do not waste my life! I promise I didn't know! I had no idea!"Ethan leaned back against the bar and sipped his soda with a cool air about him. He looked at the man who was groveling with a cold, bored look. "Didn’t know?" When Ethan said it again, his voice was calm b

Now that the chaos was over, the bar was empty, but you could still hear it.Sanaya sat at the table alone and quiet.She gripped the edge of the table with shaking hands.Ethan leaned against a nearby chair.His face was soft and calm, which was very different from how he had been acting just moments before.It was still fresh in her mind how the mob boss dragged his embarrassed subordinate out the door.Ethan gave her a quick look, and his voice broke the quiet."You should go home."Sanaya blinked, but her mind was still broken. It scared her that his voice was soft, almost tender.She gave a slow nod. "All right."The only sound in the car was the hum of the engine.Many things were going through Sanaya's mind as she sneaked looks at Ethan.His eyes were on the road and his hands were steady on the wheel.She wanted to ask so many things but couldn't find the right words.She finally spoke. "Why didn't you tell anyone?"Ethan's mouth moved into a small smile. "Tell them what?""Al

The morning light came in through the window as Sanaya moved and her eyes flew open.She looked down and saw that she was curled up in Ethan's arms, her head on his chest.As she quickly pulled away, her face turned bright red.Ethan moaned and rubbed his eyes."Morning…" Even though he was sleepy, he sat up and scratched the back of his neck uncomfortably when he saw her worried look. "Uh… good sleep?"A quick nod from Sanaya, her words just above a whisper."Yeah… I think so."She became aware of something all of a sudden, and she gasped."No way!" I'm not on time for class!"Ethan blinked and then looked at his phone to see what time it was."Oh, no. Yes, me too." He stopped and creased his brows."Wait, you go to Riverwood University?""Yes, why?" she asked as she rushed to get her things together.Ethan was shocked and said, "I do too.I’m a year ahead, though."Sanaya stood still for a second and then smiled a little."Small world, I guess."Right away, they got ready and went to

The courtyard was full of life and stress as Ethan tried to get his balance after being pushed.He stood tall, and his cool attitude stood out against the chaos going on around him.When Sanaya tried to step in, Ethan raised his hand slightly to tell her to stay away.The group of students squished closer together, and their whispers got louder as they watched.Someone asked in a whisper, "Is this guy crazy?""Are you challenging Moise Nelson? That's like using a toothpick to poke a bear," someone else said. "More like poking a cobra," A third voice added,which made everyone laugh nervously.A proud grin spread across Moise Nelson's face as he stepped forward.He was the son of the famous Cobra.His huge size and the crowd of lackeys behind him made him look like he couldn't be hurt.Moise made fun of Ethan and said, "You've got guts.""But you're either very brave or very, very stupid.""Do you know who I am?"Ethan didn't move when he looked at him."Oh, I know exactly who you are.
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 31
His smile got bigger as he talked on the phone, and Moise didn't pay attention to him."Hey, Dad, it's me. There is someone who is creating problem for me..."After looking at the scene with a mix of amazement and worry, Ethan turned his attention to Sanaya.He gave her a comforting nod, and she let out a sigh of relief.Her shoulders relaxed a little."Yes I want you here."Moise hung up the phone and went back to Ethan.He laughed and said, "You're in trouble now.""When my father gets here, you’ll wish you’d never been born."Ethan just shrugged, keeping his cool."I guess we’ll see."The crowd was tense and excited as they waited for the next part of this play to start.The beaten lackeys were moaning at Ethan's feet as he stood strong and looked down at Moise.His confidence did not weaken.Ethan didn't show the least bit of fear when Cobra came near.And that was what really amazed everyone. As the sound of screeching tires tore through the courtyard, the crowd's chatter got lou

Lucas Krol stood trembling before Ethan Elliot, his towering frame somehow shrunken under the intense aura emanating from the young man before him.Beads of sweat trickled down Lucas's temple as his son, Moise, stormed into the room, his voice rising above the tense silence.“Dad!” Moise’s voice cracked with disbelief. “What are you doing? Bowing to this… this student? I don’t care who he is! No one—no one!—has the right to humiliate you like this!”Ethan didn’t flinch. His calm, piercing gaze locked onto Moise with a weight that made the younger man falter mid-step.Lucas spun around and hissed, “Moise! Shut your mouth before you ruin us any further!”Moise, shocked and indignant, looked between his father and Ethan. “Ruin us? You’re afraid of him? Are you serious? This is just some boy from campus! Who the hell does he think he is, to command you?”Ethan’s voice, low and sharp, cut through Moise’s tirade like a blade. “You’ve got one chance to fix this.”Lucas visibly shuddered and

Moise knelt on the cold, hard ground with his head bowed low.His expensive shoes scraped against the dirt, which made him feel ashamed.The scene was strange, very different from the easy life he had always had as the Nelson heir.The students crowded around him whispered to each other while holding up their phones like flames to record his shame.Sanaya stood tall next to Ethan, crossed her arms, and laughed softly."I never thought the great Moise Nelson would be brought down to this level. Miracles really do happen."When Moise looked up at her, his face showed that he couldn't believe what he was seeing."Sanaya, I—""Shh!" Ethan cut in quickly and held up a finger."Don't breathe. Today, the only thing you should say is "I'm sorry."Lucas Nelson walked into the scene with a loud voice that sounded like thunder. "This is the man whose family has helped us stay alive in this city for generations! Now look at him!"He charged Moise with anger. "You dummy!You're a shame to our famil

Ethan walked quickly down the marble-floored hallway toward his dad's big office.The sound of his leather shoes could be heard barely. He was thinking about things after dropping Sanaya off at her class.He always thought of her when he wanted to keep things simple and enjoy the present.It wasn't easy for him, though, because of the weight of his family name.Ethan took a deep breath and opened the heavy wood door.Richard Elliot, his father, was reading through a stack of papers behind a large wooden desk.When he looked up, his sharp eyes locked on Ethan."Ethan," his dad said, pointing for him to sit down.Ethan sat down in the chair across from him,"Dad.I wanted to discuss something important—an investment proposal."Richard gave me a curious look. "Go on."After clearing his throat, Ethan put a folder down on the desk."I have given a lot of thought to how I can help the family business without just getting paid to use our name. I've planned out a small job that I can do while

The stench of burning metal and charred wood filled the air as Ethan stepped over the wreckage of the Elliot warehouse. Smoke still curled from the debris, and the wailing sirens of emergency responders faded into the distance. The bodies had been removed, but the message remained—scrawled across the blackened walls in dark red streaks.“You took our king. Now we take yours.”Ethan’s jaw clenched as he studied the words, each letter dripping like an open wound. He didn’t need a forensic team to confirm it—this was blood. A message, personal and deliberate.Lisa approached cautiously, her voice low. “This isn’t just about Dominic. The Serpent isn’t retreating, Ethan. They’re evolving.”Ethan exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. He knew better than to assume victory meant safety. Dominic was gone, but the organization that had built him wasn’t.“They’re making it clear,” he murmured. “They’re not after my company, my money, or my name. They want blood.”Lisa met his gaze, h
CHAPTER 222
Ethan’s grip tightened around the silver ring as he strode down the hospital corridor. The cold metal burned against his palm, as if whispering secrets he wasn’t ready to hear. His father—the man who had spent years shaping Ethan into a leader—had kept this from him.The Serpent was never meant to die.Those words from the note echoed in his head like a curse.Lisa kept pace beside him, her face tense. “Are you sure about this? Your father’s barely stable. Pushing him could make things worse.”Ethan’s eyes darkened. “I don’t have time to wait. He’s been hiding something, Lisa. And I need to know what.”Lisa exhaled sharply but didn’t argue. She knew Ethan well enough to recognize when he was beyond reason.Harris met them at the hospital room’s entrance, arms crossed. “Guards are stationed outside. No one’s coming in or out without clearance.”Ethan nodded, shoving open the door.Inside, the room was dimly lit, the steady beep-beep of the heart monitor the only sound cutting through t
CHAPTER 221
Ethan’s team fanned out behind him, weapons at the ready. But Dominic merely laughed. “And here I thought you’d come alone. Guess even you need help sometimes.”Ethan didn’t bother with small talk. He charged, launching a lightning-fast strike at Dominic.Their bodies collided in a flurry of fists and fury. The throne toppled, Dominic’s wine spilling across the marble floor.The final battle was raw and savage—no more pretense, no more cunning ploys.Just two men locked in a brutal contest for dominance. Dominic, trained by The Serpent’s best assassins, moved with lethal grace, delivering kicks and jabs that rattled Ethan’s ribs.But Ethan had learned from every betrayal, every war.He’d honed his body and mind through a thousand battles. This is more than a fight for the empire, he thought, ducking a vicious swing.This is about saving Lisa—and ending Dominic’s tyranny once and for all.Their blows echoed in the chamber, each strike painting splatters of blood on the polished floor.
CHAPTER 220
Ethan’s boat sliced through the dark waters, the roar of the engine muted by the relentless night wind. His heart thundered with a singular purpose—rescue Lisa, end Dominic.Everything else—empire, reputation, vengeance—faded in the face of this final confrontation.Lisa was there, captive on a private island owned by one of The Serpent’s offshore shell companies. And Dominic had made the deadliest mistake of his life: he’d taken the one person Ethan would tear the world apart to save.Harris crouched at the bow, scanning the shoreline through night-vision goggles. “We’re close. Spotlights at ten o’clock. Probably the outer perimeter.”Ethan nodded, eyes fixed on the distant flickers. “The estate’s heavily guarded. We won’t get a second chance.”Mike, seated behind Ethan, gripped his rifle. “We land, go in silent, and eliminate resistance. Let’s not give them time to raise alarms.”Ethan felt a cold determination grip his core. No mercy tonight. His thoughts churned: I’ve let Dominic
CHAPTER 219
Later that evening, Ethan received a call from the prison warden. Victoria wanted to speak with him. He almost ignored it, but something in his gut said otherwise. Within the hour, he stood in the sterile hallway outside Victoria’s high-security cell, tension coiling in his chest.Victoria sat on the single metal bench inside, her regal demeanor undiminished by the jumpsuit and concrete walls. Her eyes, cold and calculating, locked onto Ethan’s.She smirked. “You look tired. The weight of the empire wearing on you, dear brother?”Ethan’s voice was icy. “Cut the act. Why’d you call?”She inclined her head, as if she were still in control. “I can help you bring Dominic down. I know he’s winning. I know The Serpent is backing him. And I know how to break him.”Ethan snorted. “You expect me to trust you? After everything you did?”She shrugged, unfazed. “I don’t need your trust. I just need your desperation. And you are desperate, aren’t you?” Her voice turned mocking. “You’re losing, Eth
CHAPTER 218
Dominic’s sudden rise had shaken the Elliot empire to its core.For weeks now, Ethan watched helplessly as the world embraced Dominic’s claim, painting him as the “true heir” and mocking Ethan as a usurper.Elliot Enterprises was on the verge of collapse, and the board members—those Ethan had spent years proving himself to—began to waver under Dominic’s promises.Yet Ethan wasn’t about to surrender everything he’d built. Not when he knew that Dominic’s ascendancy wasn’t mere coincidence.It was a calculated assault orchestrated by The Serpent, the shadowy cabal that had once silently shaped the family’s fortune. He’d been cornered, ridiculed, and discredited, but he wasn’t down.He was planning his counterstrike.Ethan paced the length of the conference room, his footsteps echoing against the polished marble floor. His jaw was tight, and his eyes flickered with the cold fire of determination.Around the long table sat his most trusted circle: Lisa, Mike, his legal team, and the few ex
CHAPTER 217
Ethan sat in silence, the weight of his mother’s revelation pressing down on him like a vice.Illegitimate.That one word had the power to strip him of everything he had built. Every deal, every empire, every ounce of control—gone, just like that.For the first time in years, uncertainty gnawed at the edges of his confidence.Lisa stood across from him, arms crossed, her sharp gaze never leaving his face. “Say something.”Ethan clenched his jaw, fingers tapping against the polished wood of his desk. His mind churned through every possible outcome, every move that could counteract this.Harris leaned against the wall, shaking his head. “Damn. If this gets out, the courts won’t even need to rule against you. The board will turn on you first.”Lisa scoffed. “Let them. If they’re stupid enough to believe a piece of paper is what makes a leader, they don’t deserve to be part of this empire.”Ethan exhaled sharply, shaking his head. “The law doesn’t care about strength, Lisa. It cares about
CHAPTER 216
Ethan had fought wars in the shadows, crushed rivals without breaking a sweat, and survived attacks that would have buried weaker men.But this?This was an attack on his very existence.And right now, Dominic was winning.Lisa stormed into Ethan’s office, her face flushed with anger. She slammed a thick folder onto his desk, her voice sharp. “They’re fast-tracking Dominic’s case.”Ethan barely glanced at the documents. He already knew what was inside. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. Calm. Calculated. Dangerous.Harris, standing near the window, scoffed. “What a damn surprise. When you’ve got The Serpent pulling strings, the law bends however they want it to.”Lisa’s nails dug into her palm. “They’re not just after your company, Ethan. Dominic is trying to rewrite history.”Ethan arched a brow. “Let me guess—he’s playing the poor, long-lost heir?”Lisa’s jaw tightened. “Worse. The media is framing him as the wronged son while you’re
CHAPTER 215
Ethan had always known wars weren’t won overnight. But this? This was the kind of attack meant to break him, to strip him down until he had no choice but to surrender.Too bad Dominic didn’t know who he was up against.Lisa stormed into Ethan’s office, her phone clutched tightly in her fist. “You need to see this.”She shoved the screen in front of him. The headline hit Ethan like a punch to the gut."FIRE CONSUMES ELLIOT TOWER—ARSON SUSPECTED."Ethan’s eyes flickered to the live footage below the text. The once-imposing skyscraper now stood in flames, firefighters battling against the roaring inferno. Smoke billowed into the night sky, and panicked voices filled the broadcast.Harris leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “That’s not just property damage. That’s a power move.”Lisa’s voice was tight with rage. “Dominic ordered this. I know it.”Ethan let out a slow, measured breath, keeping his fury in check. “He’s destabilizing me. Burning my empire down—literally.”Lisa’s glare sha
