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 BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 41
Melissa's face turned smug with pride, and she looked back and forth between Ethan and Sanaya. "You are same, the worthless delivery boy.”Even Ethan was surprised when Sanaya slid her arm around his waist and pulled him closer. Ethan's jaw tightened, but he didn't have time to answer. She had a warm smile on her face, but her eyes were like cold blades pointed at Melissa."Well, Melissa, you would know all about people who need help, wouldn't you?" Sanaya said in a sweet way. "After all, wasn't your last boyfriend still getting everything paid for by his parents, even your fake designer bags?"People in the crowd tried not to laugh, and Melissa's face turned red, but she wasn't going to give up. "At least I don't have to act like someone else to get attention."Sanaya cocked her head and smiled steadily. "Oh, is that what you mean when you jump from one poor person to the next?Being real?Or Shameless!!"Melissa's sharp look made Ethan frown, but he couldn't hide his enjoyment.
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 42
Ethan studied Sanaya's features, mesmerized by the delicate curve of her cheekbones and the soft shimmer in her eyes.The late afternoon light caught her skin, making her seem almost ethereal."What are you thinking?" Sanaya whispered, her voice soft and melodic.Ethan swallowed hard."You're... incredibly beautiful," he said, his voice slightly trembling.I shouldn't be doing this, he thought.She deserves better than someone like me.Sanaya's breath caught."Ethan," she murmured, her gaze intense and questioning."I'm sorry," he said, suddenly pulling back."This isn't right.""What do you mean?" she asked, confusion dancing across her face."I can't..." Ethan's voice cracked."I don't want to complicate things."Sanaya reached out, her fingers barely grazing his hand."Complicate what?"She's so close. So perfect, Ethan's mind raced. And so completely out of my league."Us," he finally said."Our friendship. Everything.""Ethan?" she asked in a soft voice that hinted at doubt.As s

Next day, Ethan's bedroom, but the knot in his stomach felt anything but warm.He groaned and sat up, running his hand through his messy hair.In his mind, he kept going over what happened the night before:Sanaya's knowing smile, her quiet goodbye, and the guilt he felt for breaking her heart."I feel guilty. God knows what she must be thinking about me?"He was scared about today for a whole week."Young Master, your suit has arrived." The butler kept the suit on the bed.He had one more day to work things out with his dad before meeting the Barrett family.With an engagement he didn't want, he was supposed to take one more step toward sealing his fate.By the evening, Ethan was wearing the suit that Carlo had made just for the event.The sharp edges and perfect fit made him feel like he was chained to a future he couldn't get away from.His father called from downstairs as he fixed his tie in the mirror."Ethan! Let's go. We don't want the Barretts to have to wait."Ethan took a bi

Everyone in the room was tense because they were all waiting for Ethan or Sanaya to talk. Lisa, or Sanaya's, mother broke the pause with a polite question in her voice."You both know each other?"Ethan and Sanaya didn't answer right away. They were both still, and shock could be seen in their eyes. The moment went on until James, Ethan's father, stepped in. His voice was calm and collected. With a cool, knowing smile, he said, "I think it would be best to let them talk alone for a moment.""Of course," Mrs. Barrett said in a soft but firm voice. "Take your time."As the butler led them to the balcony, there was a strange silence that began with the soft click of the door closing behind them. The air was cool, and the light breeze in the evening didn't make things any better between them.Ethan finally spoke, which broke the silence. His voice was rough, and you could hear the anger in it. "How come you didn't tell me? I feel totally caught off guard here!"Sanaya was also caug

“I can’t believe she hid from me.”It was still weird for Ethan to think about everything that had happened as he stood by a pond with his hands deep in his pockets. He thought the whole world was pressing down on him. The shock of finding out who Sanaya really was, the proposal, and the fights with his parents—everything stopped making sense. He needed some space to think, but his ideas got even more mixed up.Suddenly, he felt someone warm against his back, and then he felt soft arms wrap around him. He quickly turned around and saw Sanaya standing there, her eyes begging and her face true."I promise I can explain," she said in a whisper, her voice high above the quiet yard.Ethan stopped moving, and doubt filled his face. "Really?" His voice had a mix of doubt and interest in it.Sanaya took a small step back, but her eyes never left his. "Yes. Just listen, please.”Ethan thought about it for a second, but the seriousness in her voice made him stop. The tone of his voice chang

CHAPTER 277
Ethan stood on the edge of a glass-and-steel monolith, looking down at the city that had both made him and tried to break him.Dubai stretched out in all directions—a kingdom of glass towers, neon reflections, and wealth built on power and silence.Once, he had owned this world.Once, he had believed he could shape it.But now, as he stood above it all, the question that had haunted him since the beginning refused to be ignored.Did I win? Or did I just survive?He exhaled, the wind pulling at his coat, sending strands of his hair whipping against his forehead.The streets below were alive—cars honking, people moving, deals being made in hushed conversations, just another night in the empire of the rich.None of them knew what had happened.None of them knew how close this city had come to burning with The Dominion.They only knew the headlines:“Ethan Elliot Destroys Global Crime Syndicate.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A Power Shift in the Underworld.”“The Most Dangerous Man in the Wo
CHAPTER 276
Ethan stood at the edge of the smoldering ruin, his body aching, his mind drowning in the weight of what had been done.Dubai’s skyline had changed overnight—one less tower standing.One less monster breathing.He should have felt something.Relief. Satisfaction. A sense of victory.But there was nothing.Only smoke, ash, and silence.The Dominion was gone.Their networks dismantled, their leaders dead, scattered, or in hiding.The underworld had changed in a single night, shifting like tectonic plates beneath his feet.And the world had noticed.The media had already begun spinning their stories.“Elliot Enterprises CEO Linked to Mysterious Power Shift.”“The Fall of The Dominion—A New Global Order?”“Ethan Elliot: The Man Who Killed the Shadows.”Some feared him.Some worshipped him.Some wanted him dead.None of it mattered.Because Ethan was done.Lisa was gone.Malik was gone.His empire was still standing, but it wasn’t his anymore.He had spent years clawing his way to the top,
CHAPTER 275
3:00… 2:59… 2:58…The countdown blazed across the massive penthouse screen.Ethan’s fingers tightened around Emery’s collar."Where is it?" His voice was a low growl, lethal.Emery coughed, blood staining his teeth. "Wouldn’t you like to know?"2:30… 2:29…Ethan yanked him forward, shaking him violently. "Tell me where the bomb is, or I swear I will—""Kill me?" Emery smirked, weak but smug. "That’s what I want, Ethan."Ethan’s breath came sharp. Every fiber of his body screamed to end him.But the clock was running out.Lisa’s voice echoed in his head."Don’t become them…"2:00… 1:59…Ethan dropped Emery.He turned on his heel, ignoring the bastard’s laughter as he scanned the penthouse for any sign of the bomb.Then—he saw it.A black case embedded inside the structural framework of the tower, wires running across the walls like a web of death.The fail-safe was wired into the building itself.Emery had planned this well.There was no stopping the countdown.1:30… 1:29…He had to ge
CHAPTER 274
Ethan moved first.No hesitation. No mercy.His fist slammed into Emery’s face, sending him crashing into a marble pillar.The impact cracked the surface, shards of stone crumbling to the floor.But Emery didn’t collapse.He grinned through the blood."That’s it, Ethan," he rasped, wiping his split lip. "No more business deals. No more negotiations. Just war."Ethan didn’t answer.Words were pointless now.Lisa was gone.The Dominion had burned his empire.Now, he would burn them.Emery launched himself forward, faster than Ethan expected.A knife flashed in his hand.Ethan twisted—**barely dodging—**but the blade still grazed his ribs.Pain flared, hot and sharp, but he didn’t slow.Instead, he caught Emery’s wrist and twisted.CRACK.The knife clattered to the floor.Emery hissed, his arm hanging limp, dislocated.But he still laughed."Come on," he taunted. "You’re holding back."Ethan’s rage snapped.He drove his knee into Emery’s gut, knocking the air from his lungs.As Emery dou
CHAPTER 273
The Burj Dominion towered over Dubai, a fortress of wealth, power, and secrecy. A structure built on the backs of the world’s most corrupt elites, designed to withstand anything.Anything but him.Ethan was coming.Inside the penthouse, Emery Calloway stood before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the city sprawling beneath him in a tapestry of golden lights. He swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching the skyline with an air of amusement.Behind him, a war was brewing.Guards flooded the lower floors, rifles loaded, body armor strapped on, comms crackling with rapid orders. The entire tower was on lockdown.But Emery wasn’t afraid.He had been waiting for this."Sir, we should evacuate," one of his lieutenants suggested, nervous.Emery smirked, tilting his glass to his lips. "No."The man hesitated. "With all due respect, sir, Elliot is—""Exactly where I want him." Emery placed the glass down with a deliberate clink. "Let him in."The lieutenant paled. "Sir?"Emery turned, his
CHAPTER 272
Ethan didn’t remember getting into the car.Didn’t remember the high-speed chase through the city, weaving through traffic, running red lights, ignoring the screaming sirens behind him.All he saw was her face on that screen.Lisa.Still alive.Barely breathing, but still there.And if he was even a second too late?He wouldn’t let himself think about it.Mike’s voice crackled over the comm. “Ethan, you need to slow down. We don’t know what we’re walking into.”Ethan’s grip tightened on the wheel. “I don’t care.”Because this wasn’t about strategy anymore.This was personal.The warehouse loomed ahead, an abandoned Dominion facility on the city outskirts.Ethan didn’t wait. Didn’t plan.He crashed the car straight through the front gate, metal screeching as he tore past the defenses.Gunfire erupted. Bullets slammed into the car, glass shattering.Ethan was already out, already moving.His gun spat fire as he carved a path through The Dominion soldiers.Each shot was precise. Lethal.
CHAPTER 271
Ethan had sensed the setup the moment the lights cut out.Too quiet. Too clean.Then—the explosion.The front door blasted inward, a shockwave ripping through the safe house. Glass shattered, furniture splintered, smoke curled through the air like a phantom’s breath.Ethan was already moving before the dust settled.They were here.The Dominion’s kill squad—The Reapers.Silent. Precise. Deadly.Dark figures poured in through the smoke, rifles raised, laser sights flickering like red stars in the haze.Ethan ducked, rolled, and fired.A single headshot took out the first.A knife to the throat silenced the second.Malik was beside him, a shadow of destruction. A brutal strike to the gut, a bullet between the ribs—two Reapers fell instantly.But they kept coming.Ethan’s mind worked ten steps ahead.They didn’t just want him dead.They wanted him contained.Cut off. Cornered. Executed.Too bad.They had underestimated the wrong man.Ethan moved like a ghost through the gunfire, slipping
CHAPTER 270
The world had changed.Aldrich Vaughn was dead. Executed in his own home. His dirty secrets broadcasted to the world, his name dragged through the mud.It wasn’t a quiet, clean hit. Ethan had made sure of that.Now?Everyone was watching.For the first time, The Dominion was exposed.They weren’t untouchable anymore.And that terrified them.Inside an underground Dominion control center, Emery Calloway stood motionless.Multiple screens flickered, each one showing the same headline."Former U.S. Senator Aldrich Vaughn found executed—Massive corruption scandal unraveling.""Who is behind the murder of one of America’s most powerful political figures?""The world’s elite in chaos—How deep does this conspiracy go?"Emery’s fingers tightened into a fist.Vaughn was supposed to be protected. Untouchable. A symbol of The Dominion’s absolute power.Yet Ethan had wiped him from existence in a single night.“We underestimated him.”The voice came from one of his lieutenants, a man in a pristin
CHAPTER 269
Ethan sat in the dimly lit warehouse, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the cold steel of his gun. The room smelled of dust and rusted metal, but the air was thick with something else—vengeance.Tonight, the war truly began.Across the room, Malik slid a tablet across the table. “He’s at his estate. Surrounded by security. Cameras, guards, high-tech defenses. A fortress.”Ethan barely glanced at the screen. “It won’t be enough.”Mike leaned forward. “You sure about this? If we start picking them off, The Dominion will come at us harder than ever.”Ethan’s gaze was sharp, unwavering. “Good. Let them.”Aldrich Vaughn was a snake in a suit—a corrupt politician who had sold out his own people for power.More importantly?He was one of the architects of Lisa’s abduction.And tonight? He would pay.Ethan’s plan wasn’t just about killing him.That would be too easy.No, Ethan would destroy his empire first. Strip him of his power, his money, his influence.Then, and only then, would h
