The heir's mask chapter 66: Mark's Confession
The digital storm showed no signs of easing when Mark Dorkul's name resurfaced with explosive force. Late that afternoon, a lengthy anonymous post appeared on a popular forum, quickly verified and amplified across platforms. It was Mark. In raw, unfiltered paragraphs, he admitted to orchestrating the initial photo leaks and feeding details to media contacts."I did it for love," the post read. "Steve Vanderbilt was never going to see me the way I saw him. Ken Thompson stood in the way. I thought exposing them would open Steve's eyes. Instead, it destroyed everything I cared about. I leaked the photos. I tipped off the outlets. I even pushed the gold-digger narrative. It was me."The confession spread like wildfire. Screenshots flooded timelines. Major news outlets picked it up within minutes, confirming details through anonymous sources close to Mark. The narrative shifted dramatically. What had been portrayed as Ken's calculated seduction now had a clear villain: a spurned admirer ac
The heir's mask chapter 65: Ken Blamed
The announcement of being disowned had barely settled when the narrative twisted again. By the next morning, social media platforms ignited with a new dominant story: Ken Thompson as the opportunistic gold-digger who had seduced the Vanderbilt heir and destabilized a legendary empire. Hashtags like #GoldDiggerKen and #VanderbiltRuined trended rapidly. Edited photo collages, speculative threads, and anonymous “insider” accounts painted Ken as a calculating climber who exploited Steve’s vulnerability for wealth and status.Steve slammed his laptop shut in the penthouse war room. “This is coordinated. Eleanor’s team or Mark’s remnants are seeding it.”Ken stared at the scrolling feeds, a mix of anger and disbelief crossing his face. The attacks were relentless. Old photos of him at events were reframed as evidence of scheming; financial records from the acquisition were twisted into proof of motive. His follower count had exploded overnight, mostly with hostile comments.Carla joined the

Chapter 64 Steve DisownedThe boardroom meeting had reached a hard and difficult stage. Steve sat at the head of the long table, flanked by his legal team and key allies. Ken participated remotely from the penthouse, feeding strategic notes through a secure channel. The emergency session had been called at Eleanor’s insistence, and the atmosphere crackled with tension.Eleanor stood at the opposite end, regal and unyielding. “The time for damage control has passed,” she declared. “The Lila revelation, the leaked photos, the stock volatility these are symptoms of deeper failure. My son has compromised the family legacy. Effective immediately, I am exercising my authority as majority stakeholder to strip Steven Vanderbilt of his succession rights.”The words landed like a hammer. Gasps rippled through the room. Steve remained outwardly composed, but Ken, watching the feed, saw the subtle tightening of his jaw.Carla, present in the room, jumped in smoothly. “With respect, this decisio

The heir's mask Chapter 63: Lila Exposes Herself
The morning after the stock panic began, a new explosion rocked the already fragile situation. Lila Monroe called a press conference at a sleek Midtown hotel, arriving in a tailored black dress that projected quiet strength rather than victimhood. Cameras flashed as she stepped to the podium, her expression composed but resolute.Ken and Steve watched the live feed from the penthouse, shoulders tense. Lila’s voice carried clearly through the speakers.“I have remained silent out of respect for the Vanderbilt family and the privacy we all deserve,” she began. “But recent headlines have forced my hand. The narrative being painted is incomplete and unfair. Steve and I were never in a genuine romantic relationship. Our arrangement was one of mutual convenience—a public partnership designed to support his professional image while I advanced my own initiatives. It was never love. It was strategy.”The room of reporters erupted. Questions flew, but Lila continued with calm precision.“I wish
The heir's mask Chapter 62: Vanderbilt Crisis
The trading floor at Vanderbilt Tech opened like a wide battlefield the next morning. Steve watched the numbers plummet in real time from the penthouse screens, jaw clenched as red arrows dominated the displays. By 9:30 a.m. the stock had shed another twelve percent. Panic selling had taken hold. Major investors were dumping shares, citing governance concerns and reputational risk. The carefully constructed empire trembled under the weight of public scandal.Ken stood beside him, coffee forgotten in his hand. The headlines from yesterday had done their damage, but today’s market reaction turned speculation into financial reality. “This is faster than we projected.”Steve nodded sharply. “Eleanor timed it perfectly. Her calls to key shareholders last night triggered the wave.” He fired off a series of messages to Carla and the CFO, demanding immediate briefings. The war room buzzed with activity as analysts and lawyers joined via video.Carla appeared on the main screen, her usual comp
The heir's mask Chapter 6: Family Dynasty
Steve Vanderbilt stood on the upper deck of his private yacht, nursing a brutal hangover and an even worse case of blue balls. His mind was still trapped in that cabin—Ken’s mouth hot and furious against his, the desperate grind of their bodies, the way Ken had moaned before shoving him away like h

The Heir’s MaskMark had waited long enough. No calls returned, no replies. He got ready and drove to Steve’s penthouse. The doors were unlocked—typical Steve, who hated being watched and kept almost no security around. Mark slipped inside with a satisfied smile.My sweet boy must have been drinkin
The heir's mask Chapter 4: Drunken truth
The Heir’s MaskThe days blurred into a haze of obsession for Steve. Every thought revolved around Ken—how far they had come, how cute Ken had been all these years, and how Steve couldn’t open up back then. But now nothing was stopping him. I won’t hide anymore. I’ve been in love with you since hig
The heir's mask Chapter 3: Eleanor's pressure
The Heir’s MaskSteve’s penthouse felt like a gilded cage tonight. The city lights stretched out beneath him like jewels on black velvet, but all he could see was Ken’s flushed face from the restaurant earlier—lips parted, cock straining against his trousers, eyes screaming yes while his mouth spat
