THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 33
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

Ethan sat in his dad's big study and felt strangely overwhelmed by how quickly his life had changed.His father, who was dressed perfectly in a suit, pointed at him."Ethan, you need to start looking the part. I’ve instructed the staff to prepare a list of stores for you. Go buy yourself a new wardrobe," he said firmly.Ethan blinked because he didn't know what to say.He wasn't very interested in trends or looks, but he knew what his dad meant."Starting next week, you'll be going to business meetings and fancy lunches with me.""Make sure you're ready; the secretary has already set everything up," his dad said."Real meetings?" Under his breath, Ethan said something.He couldn't picture himself standing stiffly in a meeting and nodding along as people talked about deals and profits.His phone rang before he could answer.It was from Sanaya: "class ended! Could you pick me up?"Ethan smiled without meaning to. Saved by the bell.He stood up quickly, which made his dad notice him."I'

Ethan stood outside of Sanaya's house and leaned against the sleek black car in a casual way.He looked at his watch and quickly looked up to see her running out the door.Her excitement was still contagious."Good morning, Ethan!" She said hello and jumped into the passenger seat."Morning," He responded, and sat down in the driver's seat."Are you ready for today's lesson?"Sanaya nodded. “Absolutely. But we’re switching things up today. No more quiet forest routes.”Ethan gave me a strange look. "Oh?" Where do you want to go?"She said, "To the main market.""The main market?" Ethan said it again, a little scared. "Do you not think that's a bit of a leap? The traffic is crazy there."Sanaya brushed off his worry. "You can do this. Also, I need to get a dress.""A dress?" He pulled onto the road and asked, "What for?"She smiled. "Want to join for the talent hunt competition in the college!""I’m performing a dance piece, and I need something amazing for the stage.”Ethan gave her a

Just as things were getting really tense in the shop, the sound of suresteps echoed through the room. Carlo, the head designer for the store, walked in with a sense of power and looked around quickly."What's going on here?" The other staff members couldn't be heard because of Carlo's deep, authoritative voice, which cut through the tension.The salesperson stepped forward quickly, and her tone was both too nice and protective. "Sorry, Mr. Carlo—just a small misunderstanding." “This man was—"Carlo had already looked at Ethan, though, and his face changed from interest to recognition. He broke out in a big smile and walked forward, ignoring the other person completely."Hi, Ethan Elliot!" Carlo yelled and put out his hand. "This is the moment I've been waiting for.It's great to finally meet you.”When Ethan saw Carlo, he blinked in surprise and knit his brows together. "Have we met before?" he asked, with a cool.Carlo stepped closer, and as he did, his eyes lit up with excitemen
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 38
Carlo then turned back to the salesperson and kept his face the same. "You're fired.”“M-Mr. Carlo, please!” she stuttered in protest, and her face turned pale. We just didn't know! I didn't mean to—""Enough," Carlo said in a strong voice. "Get your things together and leave. Right now.”The other employees were shocked and kept quiet as the embarrassed salesperson quickly gathered her things and left, bowed her head in shame.Carlo let out a big breath and turned back to look at Ethan and Sanaya. His tone changed right away. "I'm truly sorry for what happened. Don't worry—this doesn't represent what our boutique stands for.”Ethan didn't say anything, but he just nodded. Sanaya smiled at Carlo to show her appreciation.Carlo's friendly attitude came back as he spoke to them. "Please allow me to help you personally." “I promise to make up for this bad experience.”After thirty minutes, Ethan and Sanaya left the store with the pink dress carefully wrapped in a stylish clothing

At its busiest, the talent show competition filled the college hall with lively noise. Ethan was in the crowd and nervously tapped his knee.He kept his eyes on the stage as a band finished their performance. "And now, let's welcome Sanaya Kapoor to the stage!" The host said with a big smile as he crossed the stage to the next act.The crowd made a noise when Sanaya's name was called. Along with the cheers and whispers, a group of so-called "bad boys" in the back row laughed and made sexy comments."Does she really think those cute little moves will make anyone like her?" one of them laughed."She'd do better if she gave us a private show backstage," said someone else with a mean grin.Ethan clenched his teeth and made fists with his hands. Even though he was getting angry, the lights in the theater went down and a soft music filled the room before he could do anything.The only light on the stage lit up Sanaya's outline as she walked on. She stood tall and straight, and her face

With an embarrassed grin on his face, Ethan rubbed the back of his neck."I just wanted it to be a surprise," he said in a soft voice.As Sanaya clapped her hands together and leaned in closer, her eyes sparkled."Well, it worked! That was really cool! Ethan, I had no idea you could sing that well. You've done amazing!"He looked away and scratched his forehead as his cheeks turned a deep red color.His heart was racing because of the warmth of her hug earlier.He opened his mouth to answer, but his classmates and friends rushed around him, ending their moment.One of the boys clapped Ethan on the back and said, "Dude, that was crazy!"Someone else said, "Yeah, I didn't know you had that in you."With a soft, proud smile, Sanaya stayed close and watched Ethan accept the praise with grace.As he looked through the crowd of faces, he tried to catch her eye, but a voice full of sarcasm cut him off.Melissa stepped into the group and said, "Well, well, Ethan." Even though she spoke in a s

The rhythmic clatter of the train’s wheels on the tracks echoed into the night as Ethan and his team raced toward their target.The second container was confirmed to be aboard a freight train, bound for the city’s main power grid.In the command vehicle, Ethan adjusted his earpiece, his expression grim as the tension thickened.“Status update,” Ethan demanded, his voice sharp.Harris’s voice crackled through the comms.“The train is running on schedule. ETA to the power grid is just under forty minutes. If it reaches the station, the damage will be catastrophic.”Ethan turned to Lisa, seated beside him, her eyes fixed on the screen displaying the train’s real-time position.“Are you sure about this?” he asked, his tone softer.“I’m sure,” she replied firmly.“I’m not sitting on the sidelines while you risk everything.”Ethan nodded.“Then stay close and follow my lead. This isn’t going to be easy.”The train roared through the countryside, its long, segmented body cutting through the
CHAPTER 143
Lisa’s breath came in shallow gasps as she darted between rows of containers, the manifest clutched tightly in her trembling hands.The sound of boots pounding against the concrete behind her grew louder, her pursuers closing the gap.She pressed herself against the cold metal of a container, heart hammering in her chest.Stay calm. Think. They haven’t caught you yet.“Split up,” a gruff voice ordered, echoing through the narrow corridors of cargo. “She couldn’t have gone far.”Lisa gritted her teeth, her mind racing.Ethan, hurry. I can’t do this alone.She fumbled for her phone, her fingers shaking as she hit the speed dial for Ethan.“Lisa?” Ethan’s voice crackled over the line.“They found me,” she whispered urgently. “I’m cornered at the docks. There are too many of them, Ethan. They’re armed.”“Hold on,” Ethan said, his voice steady but filled with determination. “I’m on my way. Stay hidden. I’ll get you out of this.”The sound of engines roared through the air as Ethan’s convoy
CHAPTER 142
The team quickly split into groups.Victoria and Harris headed to Elliot Enterprises’ headquarters to fortify its defenses.Ethan stayed behind to coordinate operations and analyze intel as it came in.Lisa and Mike drove to the docks, the air between them heavy with tension.“Are you always this determined to throw yourself into danger?” Mike asked, half-joking as he navigated the city streets.Lisa smirked.“You’ve worked with Ethan long enough to know the answer to that.”Mike chuckled.“Fair point. Just make sure you keep your head down when things get dicey.”“I will,” Lisa said, her tone firm.“I need to see this through.”The docks were a hive of activity, even at night.Cranes loomed over rows of stacked containers, their mechanical arms unloading cargo onto waiting trucks. Workers moved about, their faces shadowed under dim floodlights.Mike parked the car a safe distance away, pulling out a small drone.“I’ll use this to scout the area. If anything looks suspicious, we’ll kn

Ethan clicked play on the video again. The masked figure leaned back, their tone becoming almost conversational.“You have 48 hours, Ethan. Forty-eight hours until your legacy crumbles, until the name Elliot is nothing more than ashes in history’s dustbin. Tick-tock.”As the figure’s hand moved, the screen revealed a countdown timer: 47:59:59 and ticking.Ethan paused the video, staring at the timer as though it were a physical threat.Lisa whispered, “Forty-eight hours. That’s all we have.”Ethan’s thoughts churned. They’re giving us time, but why? Is it arrogance? A trap? Or do they want something from me?He turned to Lisa, his expression grim. “This isn’t just about destruction. They’re setting the stage for something bigger.”Lisa nodded, her voice steady despite the fear in her eyes. “Then we have to use every second to figure out what it is.”Ethan grabbed his phone, calling Harris. “Get everyone in the war room. Now. This is a priority-one threat.”“Understood, sir,” Harris re
CHAPTER 141
Ethan sat in his study, the lights dimmed to match his somber mood.The laptop screen cast a faint glow on his face as he replayed the video attached to the cryptic email.Every word, every gesture, every flicker of light in the background was scrutinized, but the masked figure’s mocking voice dominated his thoughts.“Your father rests peacefully now, but what about tomorrow?”The figure’s distorted tone carried an unsettling mixture of menace and amusement.Ethan’s fists clenched, his jaw tightening as he leaned closer to the screen.Lisa entered quietly, her expression as tense as his.“Have you found anything new?”“Nothing yet,” Ethan replied without looking at her.“I’ve replayed this video a dozen times, and every detail feels like a trap.”Lisa moved beside him, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder.“We’ll figure it out. But you can’t do this alone, Ethan. Let me help.”He finally turned to her, his eyes filled with both gratitude and frustration.“You’re already helping by
CHAPTER 140
The study was eerily quiet except for the faint hum of Ethan’s laptop as he replayed the video.The screen displayed a masked figure sitting in a dimly lit room, their voice distorted but deliberate.“Ethan Elliot,” the figure began, their tone calm yet menacing.“You thought killing Kane would end this. But The Black Hawk doesn’t die—it evolves.”Lisa sat beside Ethan, her hand resting on his arm.Her knuckles were white, and her face was pale as she watched the video.“Who is this?” she asked softly.Ethan’s jaw tightened.“Someone trying to pick up where Kane left off. Someone who wants us to know they’re coming.”The figure leaned closer to the camera, their mask gleaming under the faint light.“Kane was only a part of the plan. His vision was... limited. But under my leadership, The Black Hawk will soar higher than ever. And you, Ethan, will watch everything you love fall apart.”The figure paused, then gestured to something off-camera.The video cut to a series of images—bluepri

The dawn broke over the smoldering remains of the airfield, the first rays of sunlight casting a golden hue over the blackened wreckage.Ethan stood at the edge of the tarmac, his expression grim as he watched his guards secure the area.The fight was over, but a gnawing sense of unease lingered in the pit of his stomach.Lisa approached quietly, her face pale but resolute.“Kane’s dead,” she said softly, as if saying it aloud would make it more real.“Does that mean it’s over?”Ethan shook his head, his gaze never leaving the horizon.“Not completely. Kane was the head of the snake, but syndicates like The Black Hawk don’t just disappear overnight. There’ll be others trying to step into his shoes.”Lisa crossed her arms, shivering slightly in the cool morning air.“Then what do we do now?”“We rebuild,” Ethan replied, his voice firm.“The Elliot family needs to be stronger than ever. If there are remnants of The Black Hawk left, they’ll come for us eventually. We need to be ready.”L
CHAPTER 138
The Lisa by his side began to glitch, her image flickering as the truth was revealed—she was a projection, a clever hologram.Ethan’s mind raced, his fury directed at Kane.“What do you want?”Kane’s expression darkened.“You have a choice, Ethan. You can stop me from escaping and end this little dance of ours. Or you can save her.”The live feed shifted to show a timer on the wall next to Lisa: 00:15:00 and counting down.Kane gestured to the screen.“When that timer hits zero, the room she’s in will be flooded with a gas that’s... less than forgiving. But hey, you’re a resourceful man. Maybe you’ll figure it out in time. Or maybe you won’t.”Ethan’s chest tightened.“You’re a coward,” he spat.“No, Ethan,” Kane said, his tone chillingly calm.“I’m a survivor. And tonight, you’ll prove what you really care about: your precious family legacy or the woman who’s been your anchor.”Ethan’s mind raced as he weighed his options.His team was positioned around the hangar, ready to take out
CHAPTER 137
The dim light inside the heavily guarded hangar cast long shadows across the expanse of the space, revealing a sleek private jet fueled and ready for takeoff.Ethan led his team through the maze of crates and machinery, his pistol drawn, every nerve on edge.“Stay sharp,” he muttered to Lisa, who followed closely behind.“This is it.”Guards patrolled the perimeter of the jet, but their movements were rushed, distracted.The chaos outside the airfield was working in Ethan’s favor.Lisa whispered, “Do you think the leader’s already inside?”“We’re about to find out,” Ethan replied grimly.He signaled for his team to fan out and create a perimeter.As they crept closer, the hangar doors groaned, and a figure emerged from the shadows near the jet’s stairs.Ethan’s breath caught as the man stepped into the light—a tall, sharp-featured figure with an air of calculated control.“Elias Kane,” Ethan muttered under his breath.Lisa’s eyes widened. “That’s him? The Black Hawk leader?”Ethan nodd
