Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 043 – A Never Expected Situation
*****David froze upon hearing Barth’s icy and abrupt threat—In the following moment, a powerful chill ran down his spine, but before he could react, Barth shifted to the back and the smile on his face brightened even more."How many times do I need to remind you to stop thanking me? I will always say this: your well-being as laborers is my top priority," he proclaimed loudly, as though wanting someone to overhear, and no sooner had he done this than a teasing voice echoed. "You are so considerate of your workers but neglected to extend the same care to yourself and your son, why?" This voice sounded like a beautiful tune at a single hearing, so pleasing to the ears that as soon as Cornelius, who like his father, hadn’t looked toward the entrance since the report was delivered, heard it, he blushed from head to toe. As for Berth, a shocked expression crossed his face, and he quickly turned around, gasping in disbelief. "Young Mistress, Sir Patriarch!" He exclaimed, appea
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 044 – Bartholomew’s Fear
*****Staring at the unimaginable scene before them, the construction site fell into complete silence again, and this lasted for a while before Barth blinked his eyes thrice."I—this has to be a dream," he muttered in disbelief before pinching himself. But the moment he felt the sharp pain, it was as if a jolt of electricity shot through him.He trembled as he realized he wasn't dreaming, and in the next moment, he was consumed with anxiety."Sir—sir patriarch," he stammered, springing to his feet in a way that seemed to defy the laws of physics and scurried toward the old man, visibly terrified.“How—how can you be acquainted with a nobody like this?” He asked nervously, but immediately regretted his question, knowing he had crossed a line.As he had feared, the old man, who had been looking at Xavier with bright eyes and excitement, immediately grew furious and shot him a glare.“What do you mean?” He questioned darkly, making Barth instantly break out in a cold sweat.He un
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 045 – An Unexpected Sudden Turn of Events
*****‘Why—why is he asking an outsider such a question and not me, his project supervisor? Moreover, why is he being so respectful?’ Barth wondered in fear and upon guessing what the answers to his questions could be, his face turned pale."Sir—sir Patriarch, are you perhaps speaking to me?" he asked hopefully. But in the next moment, his hope was shattered as he saw the Old Man completely ignoring him as if he didn't feel his existence.Barth was enveloped in a wave of coldness.Meanwhile, David, who was the most stunned by the recent events—confused about how someone as powerful as the patriarch of the renowned Blackwood family would know and show respect to his son—forcefully shook his head to clear his confusion upon witnessing the lack of response Barth had just received.‘This must be a godsend chance for survival,’ he thought, his dead hope reawakening.Without hesitation, David rushed his frail body toward the old man, wanting to fall to his knees when Xavier, who saw t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 046 – Elias’s Story
***** Although the construction crew had always known that Barth was a tyrant—someone cruel enough to force mixed cement down a fellow human's throat, which almost ended his life—they had never thought he’d actually take a life, but yet, they couldn’t even dispute Elias’ words. Everyone stood in shock, their minds racing to grasp what Elias, a devoted worker and loyal supporter of Barth, meant and what had happened between the time he was away and now. It was the Old Master of the Blackwood family who finally managed to react after a moment. He trembled slightly with fury, almost suffering a heart attack, something that would have been unavoidable if not for Xavier’s earlier treatment. He was initially struggling with how to punish Barth because of his long service to him, even though he knew that Xavier was a valuable ally he needed to win over, but now... The old man inhaled deeply to steady his emotions before finally fixing his gaze on Elias, who was still shooting a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 047 - Chaos in The Construction Site
***** For a moment, the construction site was engulfed in a deafening, eerie silence that made it possible to hear the sound of an ant crawling by. This lasted for what felt like an eternity before the face of the old man, who hadn’t spoken since Elias began, turned pale. He trembled all over, took a deep breath, and looked at Elias with mixed emotions. “What happens next?” he asked Elias, understanding the question, took a moment to organize his jumbled thoughts before letting out a sigh and pointing at the books he was holding. “I was ordered to hide these records after I reported your arrival to him, but I decided to check their contents out of curiosity,” he explained with a self-deprecating smile. “Who would have guessed that not only has your family never owed its workers before, but it pays the highest in the labor market and even allocated a large sum for my father’s treatment years ago, only for everything to end up in this monster’s pockets!” he concluded, g
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 048 – The Old Man’s Apology Token to David
*****By the time the police arrived, Barth had already been battered until nearly all his teeth were knocked out, and most of the bones in his body were fractured.Although he was well aware of the fate that awaited him after his arrest—that he would likely spend the next chunk of his years in prison—Barth wasn’t afraid at all of the cop's arrival. Instead, he became excited and relieved, treating the officers like his rescuers.“Hurry up and arrest me, please!” he sobbed desperately, seeing the furious and hostile glares of the mob directed at him, looking as though they couldn't wait to pounce and continue hitting him.The officers were speechless at his reaction, but they still went ahead and detained the enormous figure who was now drenched in his own blood. Since Barth was too large, he occupied the entire back seat of one car, while Cornelius, who tried resisting arrest and didn’t want to be captured, was forcefully locked in the rear of another vehicle.…..One would t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 049 – David’s Dread
*****"I'm so mad!" Cassandra, who had been trying her best to suppress her rage since Xavier’s earlier arrogant utterance finally snarled with anger.She had initially decided to ignore and forget about him for the sake of his father, but now... She was filled to the brim with wrath, trembling slightly and grinding her teeth together with loathing and fury as she continued to recall Xavier’s face and egotisms.Meanwhile, seated next to Cassandra in the car, the Patriarch of the Blackwood family, sensing his granddaughter's rage couldn't help but smile faintly."Why are you mad though?" he asked ignorantly, and Cassandra instantly grounded her teeth against each other.“It was that douchebag’s arrogance and shameless behavior! He makes me sick." She forced out."How dare he threaten to make my Blackwood family lose everything?!”“Who does he think he is?!" She began to rant as though she were a dam that had just been released, her hatred for Xavier intensifying with each incident sh
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 050 – The Helpless Family of Three
*****While Xavier and his family of three were bounding together again after five years, a beautiful middle-aged woman in the living room of a villa was sharply scolding her husband without holding back."How is this fair, huh, tell me! How?!" she cried out pitifully.“Why is your family always determined to sacrifice our daughter’s life and happiness for their so-called greater good?""What is our crime anyway?” Her chest heaved and her eyes were filled with tears.“Why are they always so eager to use our only child as a pawn to secure a stronger alliance every time?!""That's not even it. Out of all the honorable men in this world, why that demon who is notorious for ruining women's lives?!" she yelled even more at the top of her lungs, her eyes turning bloodshot..“I…” Feeling his wife’s anguish, helplessness, unwillingness, and despair, Williams’ lips quivered.He wanted to say something, but Susan interrupted again, glaring fiercely at him. "This is your fault, you kno

Chapter 339 - The Room’s Shock
*****Selene’s question hung in the air like a blade, sharp and unforgiving.Elliot and his father’s heads snapped toward God’s Time, their eyes wide with the same burning curiosity that had plagued them since the chaos had subsided.It wasn’t just a question. It was the question.How could God’s Time, a humble taxi driver with no background whatsoever, know someone like Xavier, and when?He did not just know Xavier—but had him storm through a warzone on his behalf, tearing through cops and the corrupt landlord like they were nothing.It made no sense.Given the sheer power Xavier had wielded—the terrifying strength, the Blackwood connections, the aura of someone who could crush entire lives with a glance—they couldn’t fathom why God’s Time had ever struggled despite knowing someone like that.Why hadn’t he used this connection this entire time?Why had he suffered in their neighborhood for so many years, scraping by under the weight of poverty and abuse?He could’ve lived i
Chapter 338 - God’s Time Disbelief
*****“Huff!”Xavier, in the back of the taxi, who presently had absolutely no idea that trouble was already closing in on him from all directions suddenly groaned, smacking himself on the forehead.“I have completely forgotten about the branch I planned to visit today,” he muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.Just then;“Are you all right, sir?”The driver at the front, noticing Xavier’s sudden movement through the rearview mirror, abruptly asked with concern, snapping Xavier out of his thoughts.“I think so,” Xavier, after a moment of hesitation sighed, rubbing his temple.Hearing him, the driver gave a small nod and, deciding not to pry further, then he announced;“We’ve arrived at your destination.”“Huh?”Xavier blinked, completely taken aback for a moment before looking outside.He frowned in the next moment.“That was fast,” he murmured in a daze before shaking his head. ‘I must’ve been so lost in thought that I completely tuned out my surroundings,
Chapter 337 – Frosh’s Plan for Revenge
*****Meanwhile, back in the room Vidor had just vacated."Brother." A frail 17-year-old boy with ghostly pale skin suddenly stepped through the door beside the room.One of his arms was intact, while the other was missing, with bandages wrapped around the stump where it should have been, his garish outfit starkly contrasted with his delicate appearance.The instant the brawny, bald man, who had been utterly lost in his thought as he smoked his cigarette heard this voice, his head snapped up.In the following second, the ice-cold, murderous glint in his eyes thawed, replaced by something softer—concern, tenderness, and pure love.“Little bro, I told you to rest. What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded in a voice brimming with concerned anger, rushing over to help the frail young man into a chair.The boy’s crimson-rimmed eyes, swollen from silent and never-ending sobbing instantly locked onto his brother’s face.“I… I just can’t sleep, brother,” he murmured, voice quive
Chapter 336 – Vidor’s Helplessness and Rage
*****As Xavier walked away from Oceanview Estate, his mind churned with thoughts of everything that had just transpired.Then, suddenly—“I think it’s about time I settled the score with them.”He muttered to himself, his voice very low, almost a whisper to himself, but the weight behind his words was undeniable.In the following second, his gaze turned icy, and a murderous aura erupted from him, raw and unfiltered.Jennifer and Victor.He had suffered because of them.Because of her.She had been the catalyst, the one who had set everything in motion.Thinking this, Xavier couldn’t help but clench his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, the memories of the past coming flooding back—Jennifer. The woman he had once loved.The only reason he had been wrongfully accused and sent to rot away in the scariest prison in the world.But had she taken care of his parents? Looked after his company, his house, and belongings in his absence?No!She had ruined them.
Chapter 335 – Jennifer and Victor’s Terror
*****While the soldier was busy wrestling with his thoughts, still trying to understand the reason behind Xavier’s silence, Jennifer and Victor had been staring at him like hawks, all sorts of speculation running wild between them, each entertaining the same unsettling thought—just what kind of identity could Xavier possibly have?The soldier’s words earlier words had shaken them to the core, forcing them to reconsider everything they thought they knew about Xavier.Jennifer’s heart spiked in her chest.‘Could he really have some sort of an identity we should be concerned about now?’ She wondered anxiously, the mere possibility sending a strong chill down her spine.If true, she was sure the regret would haunt her for the rest of her life.Victor, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly, his gut twisting in unease.Given his history with Xavier, he understood well that the only way to maintain his peace was to continue staying ahead in every way. If Xavier had managed to
Chapter 334 – Everything Finally Making Sense for the Guard
*****‘This… this wretched b!tch is trying to get me killed!’ The soldier’s mind screamed in sheer panic at Jennifer’s venomous words.Before he knew it, his body stiffened, his face draining of all color as he instinctively turned to look at Xavier, terror etched across his features.“I… I wasn’t talking to you, sir!” he blurted out, his voice quivering with desperation.“Of course.” Victor scoffed with revulsion, mistaking the soldier’s words as a response to him.“Would a pitiful mutt like you even dare to address me with such a tone even if you were paid a fortune to do so?” His voice dripped with undisguised contempt as he ruthlessly cut off whatever the soldier had intended to say.“This…” The soldier froze, momentarily unable to react. But then;“You… you… you…”His hand shot out, trembling badly as he pointed at the despicable pair, his mind failing to piece together a coherent response.He couldn’t fathom how this ridiculous misunderstanding was still spiraling into
Chapter 333 – An Even Greater Misunderstanding
*****‘This… this kind of Misunderstanding!’ The soldier’s lips couldn’t help but part open, only to shut again, and this happened repeatedly, his thoughts spiraling into utter chaos.Why had he discarded his dignity like worthless trash? Hadn’t he done it all just in order to gain Xavier’s favor?Why had he swallowed every ounce of humiliation hurled at him from those two vermin without so much as a protest?Why had he continued showing deference to the couple when it was glaringly obvious from the start that they were nothing but frauds?And yet…With his heart pounding erratically in his chest, the soldier, ever so slowly and uneasily, turned his head… his gaze settling for the first time on Xavier.Xavier was also currently staring at him.But not with anger.Not with ridicule.But with a mildly amused expression on his face.Seeing this, the soldier’s blood ran cold in his veins, and for a second, he couldn’t react, then;‘He…’His breath hitched… his mind shrieking
Chapter 332 – The Soldier’s Realization
*****Unaware that his mistake had only worsened, the soldier—who had misunderstood the words spoken to him stood frozen right now, utterly terrified.If he had followed through with his initial plan… if he had acted as he originally intended before Xavier’s presence stopped him… his fate would have been far worse than mere death.A shuddering breath escaped him as he hurriedly wiped the cold sweat beading on his forehead. Then his lips parted, but no coherent words came out.“I… I don’t… I have…” he stammered, his mind spinning in a chaotic mess.Victor and Jennifer, meanwhile, narrowed their eyes at the soldier’s peculiar reaction.For a brief moment, they exchanged glances, the same realization striking them both like a bolt of lightning.‘Could it be… that this idiot of a guard was the one who had actually smuggled this ex-convict into OceanView Estate?’In the next instant, their eyes gleamed with sudden excitement.This… this was it!Just a few days ago, they had been
Chapter 331 – The Intensified Misunderstanding
*****The soldier trembled violently, his entire body breaking into a cold sweat as the full weight of his near-disastrous mistake sank in.His throat tightened, swallowing hard against the sheer terror that gripped him.‘Which… which incompetent fool from the estate’s management team told me that Villa Number One wasn’t expecting any visitors?! Are they trying to get me killed?!’ He yelled in his mind.His pulse began to thunder against his ribs, his legs turning weak beneath him.‘Thank the heavens that I managed to control my rage just now and haven’t acted on my impulse. If I had, I wouldn’t have even realized how I died.’ He thought, his breath coming in shaky bursts as panic clawed at his insides.Just then;“You brainless mutt!”Jennifer’s sharp, scathing voice cut through the soldier’s thoughts like a whip, jolting him back to his senses."Why in the unholy hells are you still standing there gawking? Are you deaf? Did you not hear this mother give you an order?!" she
