All Chapters of Nelson de Vedra: The Outcast Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"Hi, my friend," Nelson greeted with a sly grin as he approached our table, though his sharp gaze was fixed on Hector.I didn’t say a word. Neither did Hector, but it was clear from his expression that he didn’t appreciate Nelson barging in on us.I wasn’t thrilled either. We had already talked about this...but here he was again, ruining my plan. He was clearly trying to make a scene.“What’s up? Did I ruin the mood?” he asked, his grin widening. I simply glared at him in response.“Come on, guys, don’t be like that. Go on with your little chat,” he said mockingly. “Unless, of course, you don’t mind someone else listening in. Me? I wouldn’t mind at all.”His gaze darted back and forth between Hector and me, his grin unwavering but his eyes blazing with intensity.I wasn’t sure why I couldn’t react, why I couldn’t just call him out. All I could do was steal glances at Hector, who, like me, was holding back.I was afraid, afraid that if I spoke carelessly, my plans might crumble.“This

I smiled bitterly. Yes, Hector is my cousin.A cousin who mercilessly beat up my best friend.I clenched my fist as my gaze froze once again on Hector, who was smiling.That monster! They took a life, and now he's the one smiling and happy.He has no right to be happy. He has no right to laugh or enjoy the life he has now—he has no right.I knew I was their target that night. They wanted me gone from this world, but unfortunately, my best friend was ambushed instead because they thought it was me driving the car.I blamed myself for what happened to my friend. I couldn't accept that I lost my best friend—and my cousin was the reason why. If only I hadn’t let him leave that night. If I hadn’t lent him my car, he’d still be alive. He’d still be with me today.Regret gnawed at me, but there’s nothing I can do. My best friend is gone. What’s even more painful is that I haven’t given him justice. The people who killed him are still free.We didn’t have solid evidence that Hector's group wa

Nelson"What the hell, Nelson?!"After a few moments of stunned silence from Dorry because of my sudden kiss and the way my tongue had invaded her mouth, she finally found her voice and shoved me with all her strength.Now, she was glaring at me with blazing eyes, furiously wiping her lips over and over again.The way she wiped her mouth was like something filthy had stuck to her, or as if she were terrified of catching some disease.I let out a bitter laugh as I watched her. It was already insulting enough that she didn’t come home last night. It was insulting enough that she spent the entire night with another man. And her reaction just added to my insult—a new level of insult.She was making it painfully clear how much she despised me. Like I was some kind of filthy object she didn’t want touching her skin.“Disgusted, Dorry?” I asked, a grin on my face, though inside I was a raging storm, ready to explode.She should be grateful I didn’t confront her earlier. Lucky for her, I don’

"Sir Nelson, good luck. Make sure you steal the spotlight at the party tonight. Outshine your entitled Aunt Norma."Jac's words reached my ears, but I couldn’t muster a response. My mind was still clouded by his earlier revelation: I was the sole heir to my late grandfather's estate.Now, here we were, standing outside the De Vedra mansion—the same mansion where I once lived with my parents. Its grandeur was overwhelming, with the tall wrought-iron gates, the sprawling gardens meticulously trimmed, and the mansion itself illuminated like a palace. It was ironic how something so beautiful could hold such bitter memories.Never in my life did I imagine setting foot here again, in a house where I was never welcome, among people so heartless they threw me out just days after my parents’ funeral. My grandfather, the patriarch of the De Vedra family, hadn’t been able to stop it. His youngest child, Aunt Norma, had been eager to erase my existence from their lives.They claimed there was no

"You’re an animal, Hector!" I spat, landing a punch square on his jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground. He never saw it coming, leaving him stunned and unable to fight back."Are you okay, Dorry?" I asked, turning to the love of my life."N-Nelson..." she stammered, instead of answering, barely managing to utter my name. I wrapped my arm around her waist protectively."What are you doing here?" she asked.I responded with a wink and a charming smile that left her unable to look away from my handsome face."I’ll answer your question later. Step aside for now. I need to teach that scum a lesson," I said, pointing at Hector, who was clutching his bleeding lip."Nelson, stop it. That’s enough. There are too many people here; I don’t want this to escalate. Let’s just leave, please."She grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Hector. I glanced back at my worthless cousin, who still hadn’t managed to stand up. I must’ve hit him harder than I thought."Leave it to me, sir," Jac said with
