Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 107 – A Hopeless Situation
***** It wasn’t a secret even to some of the average residents of Riverton City that the top real estate family, the Blackwoods, owned the best and number one villa in Oceanview Estate, a fact which even the other prominent first-rank families had always been envious about as the villa wasn’t just larger, beautiful, and more elegant than the rest, but it also occupied the best spot in the entire estate. But now… an unknown figure, a complete nobody, had just dared to claim ownership. Apart from Laura and David who failed to understand this fact, everyone else continued gaping wide-eyed at Xavier after he was done casually speaking, looking at him as if he had just made the most outrageous and shocking remark of all time. For this reason, pin-drop silence enveloped the surroundings again, with no one knowing how to react. This tense silence and stillness lingered on for what felt like ages until finally; “You… you… you… what an audacity! The audacity!!!” Edgar returned to hi
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 108 – A Sudden Unexpected Twist
***** In the silence, everyone turned their heads and looked at the owner of the recent voice, a 30 – 32-year-old pretty lady, dressed sharply in a black suit that accentuated her hourglass shape and exuded professionalism. Her calm presence, however instantly caused a dramatic shift in the soldiers and Edgar’s expressions. Edgar was first stunned, but then his face lit up with reverence before a smug grin stretched across his lips, the presence of the lady suddenly adding to his courage. ‘Hehehe…’ he chuckled excitedly, recalling the lady’s words to him after his arrival. With this, he couldn’t help but send an arrogant and smug smirk at the soldiers, reveling in his perceived victory. "You two should start packing your belongings from the smallest to the largest—you’ll pay dearly for your arrogance and disrespect towards me, your superior, with your jobs," he declared with smug superiority. The moment these words entered the soldiers’ ears, however, the remaining color
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 109 – The Rollercoaster Emotions
*****‘Sir Xavier?’‘Waiting for him?’‘This… is this real?’As though their souls had departed, leaving behind empty shells, all the people outside Oceanview Estate were staring dazedly right now, most of them with their mouths wide open, struggling to digest what had just transpired... what they had just heard.There was no exception to the shock gripping everyone right now, Xavier included due to Victoria’s respectful declaration of waiting for him, though he was less stupefied than everyone else was utterly floored.The overwhelming silence that followed Victoria’s words lingered for what seemed like an eternity, so thick that the ones standing with their mouths wide open began to drool, yet still, no one returned to their senses.……Meanwhile, sensing the tension that had filled up the atmosphere, Victoria, whose head was still bowed furrowed her brows slightly, confusion flashing across her face.She slowly lifted her head after a moment, glancing around, and the moment
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 110 – Edgar’s Fear
***** "This..." All except Edgar and Xavier felt their hearts stop briefly—Edgar’s eyes lightening up with excitement, relief, and smugness After a moment, while everyone else… ‘She… she hasn’t even confirmed his identity yet?!’ they all thought in unison, a mix of horror and helplessness gripping their minds, making the earlier hint of hope disappear. It was only David, who after processing Victoria’s words allowed a small smile to escape. 'The first good news since,' he thought in relief, knowing that the only one who could probably exonerate them from the current up-and-down situation was the Blackwood Patriarch himself who had given him the villa’s key. “Son, I… I think…” Laura, shivering from apprehension looked at Xavier as soon as she saw Victoria bringing out her cell phone, wanting to plead with him when the beaming David stopped her. "It’s alright, dear. The truth will come out now," he reassured her, speaking in a voice only the three of them in the backseat could
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 111 – The Blackwood Family’s Estate
***** Blackwood family’s estate. Inside a grand, sprawling room with towering ceilings supported by intricately designed pillars, each symbolizing a different aspect of the family’s legacy—power, wisdom, history, and dominance were three middle-aged men and their faces were currently ashen with fury, their eyes blazing with unbridled anger, seething silently, as if on the verge of explosion. Next to them was the stunningly beautiful Cassandra, whose gaze was fixated ahead of her right now as though trying to piece together a puzzle, and this lasted for some time until finally, her eyes lit up with clarity. "He’s without a doubt the one currently on the phone with Grandfather. I’ve never seen Grandfather show such respect and deference to anyone else," she muttered quietly with a look of certainty appearing on her face as she hurriedly shot a quick look at the three men, who had remained quiet because of their belief that their father was on the phone with someone significant.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 112 – Edgar’s Regret
*****As soon as these words left his mouth, he felt his heart race and his palms grow sweaty in nervousness, but just then;"How about I come tonight?" The words he hadn't anticipated entered his ear from the cell phone, sounding like the most beautiful melody he had heard in years, and in the next moment, the old man was completely flabbergasted, the words echoing in his mind and resonating in his ears."You… you’ll come tonight?" he stuttered and the following second, his eyes lit up as he could no longer contain his excitement—barely maintaining his composure.This response filled the old man with such joy that he could no longer wait for the evening and once the call ended, he jumped to his feet, laughing uproariously, stunning everyone in the room."This… this is wonderful, hahaha!"“Huh…” The four in the room, seeing the old man like this were dumbstruck and couldn’t react again, finding it difficult to believe he was their patriarch."You! Inform the staff to start prep
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 113 – Edgar’s Regret 2
*****Everyone couldn’t help but remain frozen in shock, struggling to comprehend how this presently subdued Edgar on his knees with such a pitiful face and teary eyes could be the same haughty, difficult-to-handle, and rude one from a moment ago.Their mouths continued to hang open, completely lost for words while Edgar... If remorse could be a person right now, it would be him.He wanted to smack himself repeatedly on the face, frantically cursing his foolishness and stupidity, as his pride and false sense of superiority had not only sabotaged his rise even before it began but also ruined any chance he would ever get again in the future.He was filled to the brim with self-loath right now.Not seemingly to notice all the gazes directed at him nor giving a cent about the haughty image he had been keeping, his body began to tremble hysterically, looking like he would sob at any moment even though no tears would fall from his eyes.Finally, after what felt like an eternity to him
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 114 – The Never Expected Ending
***** “Please forgive me!”Bang!!! Edgar cried out and then slammed his head against the hard ground like someone who had lost his mind, sobbing hysterically. “Please forgive my ignorance and stupidity!!!”He began to plead desperately as though his life depended on it, knowing that he couldn’t afford to lose this job.He had already gambled everything… his entire life on it.Before this moment, Edgar hadn’t even been bothered at all by his previous actions, even still thinking he had done only the right thing for his future development. But now…He knew he wouldn’t have what it takes to live again as he had already arrogantly severed all ties with everyone he had ever known—Friends, colleagues, superiors. Even his wife and children, thinking they would only drag his progress and divine grace back.Before being called into the office the previous day, he had still been the loving father and husband… joking with his colleagues, and showing respect to his boss just as he always

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
