Feel-Good Story

After the college entrance exam results are released, my childhood best friend, Lucille Kirk, and I celebrate with our families at a five-star hotel. Over dinner, our parents talk about how nice it would be if we applied to the same university. That way, we can continue looking out for each other, just as we have while growing up. I glance across the table at Lucille and ask politely, "Lucille, which university are you planning to apply to?" The moment the words leave my mouth, a flood of comments suddenly flashes before my eyes. "Oh, here we go again. I bet this pathetic second male lead is planning to follow the female lead to the same university." "I feel so bad for the female lead. She's had to put up with this guy clinging to her for three whole years just to keep the peace between their families." "Don't worry. The female lead has already agreed to attend Aurelia University with the male lead, Sawyer Spencer. She's definitely going to name some school on the other side of the country just to get this guy off her back. I can't wait to see his face when she does!" Lucille stares at me, her brows furrowed. Then she lets out a cold, dismissive laugh. "Clement Carnegie, where I go has nothing to do with you. I'm applying to South Coast University, all the way across the country. That place isn't suitable for you." I meet her gaze and nod, as if I couldn't care less. Then I turn to the girl standing quietly in the corner of the private dining room, silently holding the Kirk family's coats and car keys. "Mabel, which university do you want to apply to?" I ask. "I want to go to the same one as you." The sneer on Lucille's face instantly freezes. Both our families stare at us in shock. None of them knows that the timid girl with the cheap hearing aid—the one Lucille constantly calls "dummy"—is actually the long-lost daughter of Aurelia's wealthiest family. They have been searching for her for 18 years. And all these years, the reason I keep showing up at the Kirk Manor has never been because I'm chasing Lucille. I only go there so I can see that "dummy" a little more often.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was another peaceful and silent morning in Chicago, Illinois. Pedestrian was walking to their workplaces as usual in silence.

Dr. Sophia was among those pedestrians. Sipping slowly on her favorite hot espresso coffee, she checked the time on her wristwatch.

7:15 am

She still had plenty of time before going to work.

Unknown to the danger lurking in her surroundings, she stopped to look at the group of stray cats. It is her daily ritual.

Smiling softly, she took out the cat food box she keeps in her bag every day for the cats. Grabbing a fist full of cereals, she threw it out in way of cats, who attacked the food, delightedly.

She smiled as she continued to look at cats and then a man bumped into her harshly, making both of them fall.

_______

Putting on the ear protections and wearing the thick leather gloves, Nathan Williams grabbed the rifle from beside him.

He was in a stranger's house on their roof with a rifle in his hands and set to be aimed in a specific direction.

Beep! Beep!

“Boss, he is near.” He heard his right man, Cole Knight, speak through the Bluetooth.

Smirking, he adjusted the rifle and then set the target. Grabbing the telescope, he saw the old bastard running for his life.

His whole form was shaking in fear as he, again and again, turned to look back to see if someone was following him.

His smirk widened seeing the man’s fear. He always felt pleasure in seeing how much people feared him. His name was enough to shake people in fright and leave them sleepless for nights.

He secured the ear protection and then through the telescope of the rifle, saw the man bump into a tall lady making both of them fall on the ground.

The old fool got up and helped the lady up.

Nathan's target was set on the man’s heart who was constantly moving. He was about to press the trigger when the lady came in front of the man, who was unknown to the death that was lurking around him and soon was going to engulf him in its shadow.

He waited patiently till the lady moved aside and then on the count of three, he shot.

In milliseconds the gunshot pierced the man's body and his heart, making him fall on his back. Loud and shrill screams rung in the air as people shouted in utter fear.

The group of cats ran hearing the piercing noise and made loud noises in the air.

Nathan put the rifle beside him and smirked looking at his aim. The gunshot hit exactly at the target, man’s heart, after all, he was a professional shooter and that too merciless.

His task was completed.

Putting the rifle back in its case and taking off the ear protection, he picked up the case, and within thirty seconds he was out of the house...

He is Nathan Williams, the Scorpion of the underworld. The most dangerous and feared mafia lord of Chicago...

_________

Nathan looked at himself in the mirror. He was on a bare chest with his pants on, as he just came out of the shower.

Fixing his hair with gel, he threw on his crisp with a button-down shirt. Buttoning up all the buttons of his shirt, he wore his black tie, fixing it to perfection. Wearing the exclusive perfume, he put on his Rolex watch.

Wearing the black coat, he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled proudly.

He is Nathan Williams, the CEO of Williams Steels & Oil Corporation. The most powerful business tycoon of the United States.

“Dad,” Nathan entered his father's study and looked at his father who was looking into some files but looked up at Nathan’s voice.

“Yes, son.” His father said with a smile and stood up to greet his son. The father embraced his son and Nathan kissed his father's hand in respect and adoration.

“Father, we have caught John but the bastard won’t utter a word about who stole our shipment. He fainted because of the gunshot we shot his way to catch him. We have managed to take him to the warehouse through the ambulance. Ronald did the first aid but he needs an operation urgently or he will die.” Nathan said directly to the point.

“Well done, my son! What about Noah? Is the task completed?” Sam Williams said looking at his son with pride-filled eyes.

 

“Yes, father. The task was completed in the morning. The traitor is dead.” He said smirking sadistically.

 

“I am proud of you, son!” The father said with pride shining in his eyes and Nathan felt proud of seeing the pride shining for him in his father’s eyes.

 

“Hmmm, operation? We can’t bring him to the hospital. It will raise questions. Hmm....” Sam Williams thought deeply of the plan and then a smirk lit upon his face.

 

“Son, you need a doctor and I have a doctor in my mind for you.” Sam Williams nodded his head, smirking.

Nathan raised his eyebrows in question.

 

“Sophia James.” Sam Williams said and Nathan looked at his father to continue.

 

“She is an orphan. No one will come looking for her. I will send her tomorrow to check up on the case and will assign her to stay there till the operation is successful.” Sam Williams said each word clearly with the plan made and finalized.

 

“What if she comes to know about our identities?” He asked not referring to their CEO position.

 

“Kill her,” Sam Williams said coldly with the final decision and Nathan nodded.

_____________

 

Each day brings new adventures, experiences, and tasks. Never did Sophia James ever thought in her wildest dreams that she will experience a gunshot that too from very close.

 

She was talking to the man who was apologizing to her for making her fall and the next moment everything happened in a blur.

 

A loud ear-piercing gunshot was heard and then the man she was talking to fall on the ground with a loud thud, with blood flowing furiously out of his body.

 

She was shocked to core nonetheless she shouted for people to call the ambulance as she checked the man's pulse but unfortunately there was no pulse...

Chapter 1
Lucille Kirk let out a scornful laugh. "Clement, what kind of stunt are you trying to pull this time?"She gave Mabel a dismissive glance. "What? Are you really so desperate to play hard to get that you're using a girl with a hearing impairment as a prop just to get under my skin?"My father's expression darkened as he turned to me. "Clement, don't say things you don't mean just because you're upset," he said in a low voice. "Be the bigger person." My mother quickly rose to her feet and forced a smile at Lucille's parents. "The kids just had a little disagreement," she said. "Clement is only acting out because he's upset. Lucille, please don't hold it against him. We'll talk some sense into him when we get home." Lucille's mother, Melissa Williams, immediately chimed in."They're still young. It's normal for them to have disagreements," she said. "Besides, it's only natural for a boy to be a little more accommodating toward a girl." She said it casually, but the satisfac

Lucille looked at Sawyer with undisguised admiration. "Sawyer, why are you even wasting your breath trying to reason with him?" Then she turned to me, her expression cold. "Clement, haven't you made enough of a scene already?"We may have grown up together, but nothing ever happened between us. You're the one who got the wrong idea. Sawyer is my boyfriend now. How much longer are you planning to keep chasing after me?"Finally, I understood what was really going on. Lucille had deliberately invited Sawyer here today so that, in front of both our families, they could put on a show of "adult maturity", make me look like the lovesick fool who couldn't take a hint, and humiliate me once and for all. Too bad they'd picked the wrong person. I gave Sawyer a cold look, ignored him completely, and slid the college application materials across the table toward Mabel. Then I asked again, "Which university are you planning to apply to?"Mabel looked completely caught off guard.

Chapter 3
On the day college admissions were announced, Lucille became a trending topic. The Kirk family spared no expense promoting their daughter's acceptance into a prestigious university, paying for news coverage and interviews across major media outlets. In every clip, Lucille appeared in a designer dress, smiling confidently for the cameras. When a reporter asked if there was anyone in particular she wanted to thank, she glanced at Sawyer standing beside her. "I'd like to thank my family—and my boyfriend." Sawyer had received early admission to Aurelia University's School of Finance. Standing side by side in front of the cameras, the two looked like the picture-perfect golden couple. The Kirk family even arranged an exclusive interview, and throughout the feature, one name kept coming up: Clement Carnegie, the eldest son of the Carnegie family, who had supposedly spent years chasing after Lucille, only to be publicly rejected after the college admissions results were announce

Mabel didn't respond. She couldn't hear Lucille. But Lucille suddenly seemed to find a target for her anger. She lunged forward and violently ripped the hearing aid from Mabel's ear. "Can't hear me? Fine. Then maybe you'll learn to listen!" The hearing aid came away with enough force to leave Mabel's ear slightly bleeding. Mabel staggered but quickly steadied herself. She clenched her teeth and refused to give Lucille the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Lucille tossed the hearing aid onto the floor and brought her heel down hard. The hearing aid Mabel had relied on for years shattered beneath her foot. And the comments section before my eyes exploded. "The female lead is finally putting the side character in her place! I love it!""Good for Ms. Kirk! Maybe now she'll finally learn her place." "The male side character finally learned who he shouldn't mess with." My blood boiled at the sight. I strode forward and kicked the back of Lucille's knee. Caught compl

Chapter 5
Everyone fell silent. The smug smile on Lucille's face slowly froze. Sawyer's brow furrowed. The calm, superior composure he had worn moments earlier cracked almost instantly. The Hearst family was the wealthiest family in Aurelia. Their business empire stretched across the globe, and even a single Hearst project was enough to send the local elite scrambling for a chance to get involved. Compared to the Hearsts, the Kirk family was barely worth mentioning. And yet, here stood Horace Cabot, the Hearst family's butler, standing respectfully before Mabel and addressing her as the heir to the family's trillion-dollar empire. Bryce was completely stunned. His lips trembled as he stared at Mabel. "W-What's going on?" Horace ignored everyone else and kept his attention fixed on Mabel. "Ms. Hearst, Mr. Hearst Sr. has been waiting 18 years to meet you."When your mother gave birth to you, you were accidentally switched with another baby. Later, you were involved in an acciden

Mabel opened the box. Inside lay a stunning black diamond ring. The name "Mabel" was engraved on the inside of the band. "Mrs. Hearst Sr. left this for you herself," Horace said softly."Before she passed away, she kept calling your name. She missed you more than you could ever know."He paused, his expression softening."It's a shame you never got the chance to meet her. I'm just grateful that Julian gave you the name Mabel." Mabel stared at the ring, her eyes slowly reddening. I reached out and gently took her hand.She turned toward me. Once I was sure she was looking at my lips, I spoke slowly so she could understand. "You still have a family. They've been looking for you all these years."Mabel pressed her lips together before asking softly, "What about you?" I froze for a moment. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." She lowered her eyes and curled her fingers around mine. Her grip tightened, as though she were afraid that if she let go, I might dis

Chapter 7
The comments, which had been scrolling nonstop just moments ago, suddenly froze.Then the screen exploded with a barrage of comments. "OMG!""Bankrupt in ten minutes! Is that even real?""Now this is what it looks like when a real powerhouse takes down a rich family!""Who was calling Mabel useless earlier? Come out and take your beating!""Lucille was acting so smug just a few minutes ago. Look at her now!"Lucille collapsed to the floor, her face deathly pale. As if she'd lost her mind, she clutched at the leg of her father's pants. "Dad, do something!"You said the Kirk family could never fall! You said the Hearsts wouldn't care about a child who'd been missing for years!" Bryce didn't answer. Instead, he stared at Mabel, finally realizing what he had thrown away. The girl he had always dismissed as nothing more than the driver's daughter was actually the true heir to the Hearst family. And he had personally allowed his own daughter to drive her away, humiliate her,

Chapter 8
Lucille's face went deathly pale the moment she felt the blade against her. Mabel rushed toward me and threw her arms around my waist, burying her face against my chest. Her arm was still bleeding, and her entire body trembled violently. I could feel how tightly she was holding her breath, as though she were afraid that even the slightest movement might make me disappear. It was only now, in this moment, that she finally let down every wall she had built around herself. She was no longer the quiet girl everyone could push around or the girl who endured every humiliation without saying a word. She was simply a terrified girl who had just realized how afraid she was of losing me. I wrapped my arms around her protectively and gently rubbed her back. "I'm okay." Instead of letting go, she only tightened her grip on me. "You can't get hurt." Her voice was low and hoarse, but every word came through clearly. Something in my chest tightened at those words. The sound of a

Chapter 9
Lucille was formally arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and intentional injury. News of the Kirk family's bankruptcy spread throughout the city that same day.The so-called "male lead who appeared out of nowhere" and the "spoiled female lead" everyone had once adored had completely strayed from the paths their story was supposed to take.Even the audience who had once cursed me began to change their minds. "Who would've thought Clement never liked Lucille in the first place?" "He wasn't chasing the female lead. He was chasing the true heiress all along!""He fell for her ten years ago. What kind of mutual-salvation love story is this?""So, we completely misunderstood him all along?" I stopped reading the comments after that. I helped Mabel into the car and carefully bandaged her arm myself. The wound wasn't deep, but it was long enough to require a few stitches. The doctor took care of it while Mabel sat quietly through the entire procedure without making
