THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 98
Ethan’s heart skipped a beat.The words stung more than they should have, and he could feel his temper flaring."You want to talk about being fit to lead? How about the fact that you’ve been working behind my back, trying to destroy everything I’ve built?"Thomas chuckled again, his gaze turning cold."Ethan, you’re a joke. You think you're some sort of hero, some grand protector of the family, but in reality, you’re nothing more than a scared little boy who can’t see the truth. You’re so wrapped up in your own paranoia that you’ve missed the obvious."The family members in the room exchanged uneasy glances.It was clear they were all taken aback by the confrontation, but no one spoke.No one stepped in to stop Thomas.It was as if they were watching a show, one they were eager to see play out."You’re right about one thing," Thomas continued, his voice dripping with disdain."You’re not fit to lead. Not now. Not ever."Ethan felt a surge of anger rise in his chest, but he refused to
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 99
The Elliot estate was eerily quiet when Lisa found the note on her vanity.Its edges were rough, as if torn hastily, and the handwriting was jagged and angry.Her heart skipped a beat as she read the words:“Stay out of this, Lisa. You’re meddling in things you don’t understand. Next time, it won’t just be a warning. —J.E.”J.E.? There was only one person with those initials—Jonathan Elliot, Ethan’s conniving and perpetually envious cousin.The man was like a peacock with a broken tail, strutting about despite his obvious inadequacies, always trying to one-up Ethan and failing miserably.Lisa’s hands tightened around the letter, fury bubbling to the surface.She wasn’t going to let some spineless snake threaten her.With the note still clutched in her hand, Lisa stormed into the grand dining hall where the family had gathered.Her fiery entrance made everyone look up from their conversations.Jonathan, sitting smugly at the far end of the table, froze when he saw her."Jonathan Ellio

"Baseless?" Lisa interrupted, her voice rising.She jabbed a finger at him."You’re as transparent as a jellyfish, Jonathan! You’ve hated Ethan for years, and now you’re trying to drag me into your petty vendetta because you know you can’t take him down alone."Jonathan’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, his pale complexion now a blotchy mix of red and white.He looked to the rest of the family for support, but most of them avoided his gaze, clearly uncomfortable."Why don’t you just admit it?" Lisa continued relentlessly."Admit that you’re the coward hiding in the shadows, sending pathetic little notes because you’re too scared to face Ethan head-on."Jonathan slammed his fist on the table."I’m not scared of Ethan! And I didn’t write that note!" His voice cracked again, betraying the panic he was trying so hard to conceal.Lisa leaned in, her voice low and menacing."Your voice says no, but your face says yes. You’re sweating like a pig in a sauna, Jonathan. Maybe
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 101
Ethan stood in the grand hall of the Elliot estate, his voice clear and resolute as he addressed the gathered family.“I’ve decided to postpone the formal announcement of the heir indefinitely. Lisa’s safety and recovery come first, and I refuse to let her or anyone else become a target in this twisted game.”Gasps rippled through the room.Ethan’s statement landed like a bomb, sending shockwaves through the family.The murmurs of discontent and shock were impossible to ignore. Jonathan, of course, was the loudest.“Postponing the heir? Are you insane?” Jonathan’s laugh was sharp and grating, like nails on a chalkboard.“This family has waited long enough! Or is this just another excuse to keep the crown for yourself?”Ethan’s icy gaze pinned him down.“This is about protecting the family, not stroking your ego, Jonathan. But I understand why you’d be confused—you’ve always been better at whining than thinking.”The room tittered with nervous laughter, but Jonathan puffed up like a ro

The grand ballroom was a glittering spectacle of wealth and pretense.Crystal chandeliers sparkled above the crowd, casting fractured light on the marble floors. Laughter and chatter filled the air, but Ethan wasn’t here for the festivities.He stood at the edge of the room, his eyes scanning the crowd like a hawk surveying its prey.Tonight, he wasn’t just a guest at the charity ball—he was a man on a mission.Uncle Thomas was in his element, holding court near the center of the room.His booming laughter echoed as he entertained a group of well-dressed sycophants.Ethan clenched his jaw.He could feel the condescension radiating from his uncle even from across the room.Thomas noticed Ethan and smirked, raising his glass as if in mock salute.“Well, if it isn’t the prodigal son!” he called out, loud enough for the entire room to hear.Ethan stiffened but walked toward him, determined not to let Thomas rattle him.“Ethan!” Thomas exclaimed, spreading his arms wide.“You’ve graced us
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 103
After the party, Eliiot went to his office to check the documents of company loss he was talking.The dim light of the Elliot estate’s private office barely illuminated the stacks of papers and ledgers scattered across the polished mahogany desk.Ethan pushed open the heavy door quietly, his instincts guiding him.Something about the muffled sounds from the room had caught his attention.As the door swung wider, Ethan froze.His cousin, Jonathan, was hunched over the desk, rifling through the family’s most sensitive documents.The moment Jonathan saw Ethan, his face turned as pale as the moonlight streaming through the window.“Jonathan,” Ethan said, his voice icy and controlled.“Care to explain what you’re doing here?”Jonathan stammered, dropping the papers as if they’d burned him.“E-Ethan! I didn’t expect you... I mean... I was just…”Ethan stepped into the room, shutting the door behind him.“Just what? Tampering with family documents in the dead of night? That doesn’t exactly s
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 104
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.“Who put you up to this?”“No one,” Jonathan mumbled, avoiding Ethan’s gaze.“Don’t lie to me,” Ethan warned.“You’re not smart enough to pull this off alone. Who are you working with?”Jonathan’s head shot up, his eyes blazing with renewed anger.“Why does it always have to be someone else? Why can’t you believe that I might be capable of doing something on my own?”Ethan smirked coldly.“Oh, I believe it. You’re capable of being a screw-up all by yourself. But this? This has someone else’s fingerprints all over it. So, I’ll ask you again—who are you working with?”Jonathan’s composure shattered, and he yelled, “I was trying to save myself, okay? Do you know what it’s like to be constantly pushed aside? To be treated like a second-class citizen in your own family?”Ethan’s voice softened, but his words cut deep.“You’re not a second-class citizen, Jonathan. You’re a grown man making childish decisions. This isn’t about saving yourself—it’s about sabotaging me.
THE BEGGER BOY IS RICH HEIR CHAPTER 105
Gasps rippled through the room.Thomas, Jonathan’s father and Ethan’s uncle, immediately shot to his feet.“What nonsense is this, Ethan? You’ve gone too far!”Ethan remained unfazed.“It’s not nonsense, Thomas. I caught him red-handed. Ask him yourself.”All eyes shifted to Jonathan, who stood trembling, his face pale.“I didn’t mean to… I was forced,” he stammered, his voice barely audible.Thomas stepped forward, his face red with anger.“Forced? That’s ridiculous! Ethan, you’re blowing this out of proportion just to make yourself look good.”Ethan’s jaw tightened.“This isn’t about me. It’s about the integrity of this family. Jonathan’s actions jeopardize everything we’ve worked for.”Thomas scoffed.“You’ve always had a superiority complex, Ethan. Do you think you’re the only one who cares about this family?”Voices erupted from the gathered family members, some siding with Thomas, others murmuring their agreement with Ethan.Chaos threatened to consume the room until Lisa steppe

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
