Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 095 – Xavier’s Embarrassment
*****Although Grace had already been accustomed to various stares throughout her life, especially since she had embarked on the journey of being an entrepreneur, this one left her deeply uncomfortable, making her palms sweat for a reason she had no idea about.“I...I hope you weren’t hurt, Aunty?” she stuttered, uncertain of how to respond to the gaze she was receiving.At the sound of her voice, Laura trembled slightly before stepping forward with her mind a flurry of emotions.She kept her warm gaze on Grace and then gently took her hands once she reached her, leaving Grace, Dorothy, and Xavier utterly flabbergasted.The trio stood there in a daze, unsure of what had just transpired, while Laura, her heart overwhelmed with joy, failed to notice.‘This—this is my daughter-in-law. I’ve —I’ve finally laid my eyes on my daughter-in-law,’ she thought with a mind filled with butterflies, her eyes brimming with unshed tears of joy.Laura had thought she would never get the chance t
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 096 – Lucius’s Other-side
***** "Father! Father!!!" Lucius cried out, darting forward as if his butt had caught fire, then with not even the slightest trace of pity, shoved aside the two guards, who appeared to be trying to warn him, and then slammed open the grand door before him, storming inside. “This...” The bodyguards, who had just been roughly pushed aside without any care whether they fell or injured, exchanged uneasy looks. "Master specifically said no one was to enter—why does young master always put us in impossible situations?" one of them muttered, visibly shaken. The other forced a deep breath, trying his best to maintain his composure despite knowing the consequence of making their master mad. "I’m certain the master won’t hold it against us," he whispered hopefully, although his nervous expression suggested otherwise. He then cautiously closed the door that had been forced open by Lucius. As he did so, however, the guard sneaked a glance into the hall and saw Lucius standing motionless. The
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 097 – Lucius’s Relief
***** Lucius had never taken Xavier to his mind and he had long sentenced him to death, merely waiting for news from his bodyguard whom he had dispatched to assassin him now. Never in his wildest dreams—or rather, nightmares—had he expected the next news he would hear about Xavier to be that he had slain a godlike figure such as an E-rank fighter, a level that none in his own family, despite its strength and position, had yet to attain. “You know him?” Borgia asked urgently, noticing Lucius’s dumbstruck expression and outburst. But Lucius was too frozen in shock and disbelief right now to react. He remained transfixed, staring dazedly at the phone displaying Xavier's image, where he was smiling at his parents outside the underground fighting club. Lucius’s mind was in complete turmoil, overwhelmed with fear as he remembered how he had treated Xavier earlier and even sent someone to assassinate him. He stayed like this for a moment before suddenly, something seemed to
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 098 – Grace’s & Dorothy’s Rage
*****Grace’s casual expression finally faded away as soon as she heard Xavier still insisting on owning a villa in OceanView Estate.She stared blankly at him for a moment, half-expecting him to suddenly break into a grin and admit he was merely joking. After all, who wouldn’t laugh at such an absurdity of an ordinary person claiming to own a house in OceanView Estate of all places? Yet, there he was, staring back at her, his expression steady, as if he had just casually stated the most obvious fact in the world.She had already been frustrated with him for telling his parents about their marriage—something meant to be a mere business arrangement—without giving her any warning. Now, however, he even dared to boast about something so obviously untrue.‘I thought you were a bit different, maybe even honest, based on the background check I did. But it seems I was wrong,’ she thought, any trace of lingering goodwill she might have had for Xavier vanishing entirely as if it had never
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 099 – Xavier’s Helplessness
*****Although Grace’s expression didn’t change after seeing Xavier incapable of responding to the question he was asked, her fists clenched slightly with so much fury as she suddenly regretted the mistake of giving her first time to him.Though she had regretted this from the moment it happened, she had kept trying to convince herself that he was at least better than the other men who were only interested in her looks. Especially recalling how he had stood up for her at the bar, and everything she’d learned about his past before he was sent to prison. But now, however, seeing him for what he really was—a liar, a braggart, and a shameless fraud, on top of being an ex-convict—she couldn't help but despise herself to the core, and suddenly... suddenly, she thought Xavier might have planned the incident at the bar.Though this was only a fledging thought, it grew stronger and stronger until finally, it became so believable that she couldn't take it off her mind again.In the next sec
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 100 – The Ruthless, Mysterious Mistress Ayra
***** "I knew you were somewhat different and mysterious from the first interaction I had with you, “ the figure of a beautifully shaped lady, seated behind a desk inside a dimly lit, shadowed room suddenly mumbled to herself, her expression distant and contemplative with a smug smile on her barely visible lips. Eventually, she snapped back to reality and lowered her gaze to the monitor in front of her, whose screen was providing the only light in the otherwise dark room, and carefully reread the oddly typed, somewhat encrypted message on it before finally, she couldn’t help but release a small sigh. “Never have I imagined that your level of secrecy and mysteriousness actually extends to having the strength needed to eliminate an E-rank fighter...” she whispered with a voice filled with awe, her eyes gleaming with a light that could make one’s skin crawl. Looking at the way she was muttering to herself, lost in her own thoughts, inside the dimly lit office that appeared empty save f
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 101 – Frosh and Jazzy’s Boss
*****"Have you heard the news?” A man in his mid-thirties, who currently has an indifferent expression on his icy face abruptly asked, slowly raising his head.Just at that moment, the door to the grand and somewhat dark-themed office, which radiated power and influence opened, and then Frosh carefully entered, looking extremely wary and deferential, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant, rude demeanor in the outside world.“Boss,” he first bowed his head respectfully to the man in the fine, expensive, and black suit, sitting behind the massive desk with a large cigarette between his fingers.“Yes boss, I just got the news that Jazzy was killed,” he cautiously reported with his head still bowed, but in the following second, a fleeting, calculating glint flashed in his eyes—something the man before him did not notice.The thirty-something authoritative man is Dominic, one of the terrifying and feared rulers of the underground network of Riverton City; Jazzy and Frosh’s boss.He
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 102 – Frosh Scheme
*****The silence in the office seemed to last an eternity before finally, Dominic, broke it.What did you just say?” he asked, his initial indifferent and icy expression crumbling.Heheheh!’ Frosh laughed inwardly at this but maintained his awkward demeanor.“It—it was Miss Grace. Grace Sky, Boss.”“This!” Dominic finally lost his composure, springing to his feet and glaring at Frosh, who instantly panicked.Who doesn’t know who Grace is to Dominic? She was the woman he had been slowly courting for some time now.Though he could have long gotten her by now if he wanted, he hadn’t because he desired not just her body but her heart, soul as well, and everything.But now…“Why would she do that?! Did that bastard Jazzy offend her?” he growled, his voice dark, menacing, and fierce, causing Frosh’s grin to pause.‘Huh!!!!’ he was dumbstruck by the latter part of his boss’s question.He stared dazedly at his boss for a moment, wondering how much he must have loved Grace to have

Chapter 341 – What Did I Even Walk Into
*****Right now, the ward felt warm.Way too warm. The kind of warmth that didn’t come from sunlight or cozy conversations but from a tension so heavy it thickened the air.Xavier, the only one seated after being practically forced into a chair, felt this weight pressing down on him, so he sat awkwardly, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee, his sharp eyes flickering between Elliot and his father.The two men stood before him like sentries, bombarding him with an endless stream of gratitude.They thanked him for liberating their neighborhood.For shattering the chains of years-long oppression.For stepping into their chaos like an angel of vengeance and fighting a war that wasn’t his to fight.Their words tumbled over each other, their spits flying as they praised him relentlessly.Xavier, however, could only offer a faint, helpless smile in response.He was the one who had told them moments ago not to be tensed, but…He felt like he was suffocating, why?He wasn
Chapter 340 - Xavier’s Arrival
*****God’s Time remained frozen on his bed, his battered body stiffening as Selene’s trembling words settled like ice in his chest.Although he hadn’t heard what his wife had done, he could already guess what it meant, given that he knew his wife even more than the back of his hand.His heart began to thunder painfully against his ribs, the steady beeping of the heart monitor accelerating.“What… what do you mean?” he rasped, his voice brittle with anxiousness. “What… what did you do?”Selene, seeing what her words had caused clenched her fists, her entire body quivering.Tears began to slowly well up in her swollen, exhausted eyes, shimmering with regret so raw it seemed to swallow her whole.She wanted to take back her actions.To erase it.She wished she hadn’t done it, but…Some things just couldn’t be undone once done.Her lips parted, and in a voice brimming and fractured by guilt, she slowly and tremblingly recounted her actions — the betrayal she wished had never h
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
