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
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 115 – The Inside of Oceanview Estate
*****Even though the Audi A6 had already passed through the towering wrought-iron gates adorned with symbols of power, affluence, and grandeur, marking the entrance to Oceanview Estate, the interior was eerily quiet.After all the emotional turbulence and clashes they’d faced just beyond the gate, it would have made sense for them to be lost in conversation, reliving every moment. Yet, what filled the car was a profound, almost reverent silence.Everyone—from Dorothy in the driver's seat to her boss beside her, Grace, to Xavier's parents at the back, and even Xavier, who was normally the embodiment of calm—sat as if frozen in time, each person’s mouths widely open enough to swallow a swarm of bees, but none of them noticed.Right now, they all looked like villagers who had spent their entire lives in some remote, underdeveloped countryside, suddenly transported to the heart of a dazzling metropolis—seeing wonders they never thought were possible in their lifetime.While they had
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 116 – A Home For All
*****It took a moment for everyone to return to their senses after hearing Xavier, finally closing their mouths when they realized they were on the verge of drooling.“You… this…” Both Laura and Dorothy muttered in unison, finally processing their son’s words and their jaws dropped.While they hadn't fully understood why their son had brought them to the home that was supposed to belong to him and his wife on the day of his marriage, they had assumed it was simply to show them the place, never expecting in their wildest dreams that it was so they could leave together.‘Does he even think about his wife?’ They thought and the two subconsciously exchanged stunned glances.Although they could see the admiration in each other's eyes, knowing full well they both loved the villa, there was also a silent understanding between them—a hesitation.Deep down, they recognized that, as beautiful as this place was, it wasn’t meant for them.Realizing they were on the same wavelength; the co

Chapter 438 – Going For Shopping
*****Although he had already assured his father and he had already accepted, Xavier, however, could sense something lingering beneath his composed exterior.A subtle crease formed between his brows, and his gaze remained distant—thoughtful, perhaps even troubled.“Are you still worried about her background?” Xavier asked, his voice quiet but direct.The question seemed to jolt David from his reverie. He looked at his son for a long second, then let out a slow, burdened sigh.“It’s not that I dislike the little girl’s presence in our life… it’s the other way, in fact,” he began. “But given her history… how fragile her heart is, the trauma she’s been through—your mother didn’t hesitate to claim her as our granddaughter.” He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly.“But what if her other family members come looking for her? What if they think we’ve kidnapped her and filed a police report? Would we be able to get out of it?”That hit Xavier like a splash of cold water.He blinked, mo
Chapter 437 – An Unexpected Topic
*****By the time Xavier finished preparing his meal, the living room was once again filled with warmth and laughter.Sarah had just completed Little Lola’s braid, and the results were stunning.The little girl stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself with such unfiltered joy that it made even Xavier pause.She looked like a radiant soul—pure, innocent… like a tiny princess in a fairy tale.“Beautiful…” she whispered over and over, looking utterly entranced by her reflection.Her eyes sparkled brightly in their sockets with genuine awe as if she couldn’t believe the image staring back was truly her.“Little Lola has never been this beautiful in her whole life,” she said, her voice as serious as a judge delivering a verdict.The adults exchanged amused glances.The words sounded like self-praise, something that would normally come off as vain, but the way she said it—so sincerely and so innocently, it simply melted hearts instead.Sarah chuckled softly, brushing a few s
Chapter 436 – A Moment Of Peace
*****It was already well past noon when Xavier finally stepped out of the bank.The sun was high, the day bustling, but he felt oddly calm like a storm had passed and he’d emerged standing.Without wasting any more time, he hailed a taxi and headed straight back to Oceanview Estate.Villa Number One welcomed him with open arms and warmth that immediately softened the weariness on his face.Inside, a quiet domestic scene played out that made Xavier’s heart lift.His mother, Sarah, was gently braiding Little Lola’s hair, her hands moving with patient care.The little girl, on the other hand, sat excitedly, her legs swinging off the chair, occasionally giggling at something being said.Xavier’s father, David, sat nearby, animatedly telling stories that made both Sarah and Lola smile.For a brief moment, Xavier stood still, soaking it in.The warmth. The peace. The kind of scene he’d always dreamed of growing up.He almost didn’t want to move or speak, not wanting to shatter t
Chapter 435 – A Bitter Awakening
*****Brenda stood still at this moment, her eyes glassy with unshed tears as regret stormed her thoughts.Her mind drifted backward, replaying every decision, every turning point, every slip into arrogance.‘I couldn’t find any proper job for years after graduation,’ she thought, biting down on her trembling lip. ‘I was close to becoming homeless… starving. I couldn’t even afford a loaf of bread, let alone rent or dignity.’Her fists clenched at her sides, her nails digging into her palms as her soul twisted in guilt.‘And when I finally got this job—this opportunity—through a lucky break, I vowed to cherish it. I swore I’d be loyal, that I’d treat it like my life depended on it. That I would never, ever be fired.’She blinked, and the tears finally began to sting her eyes.‘But what did I become after just a few months…?’The reflection tore through her like glass.She looked utterly broken, her once-proud aura now reduced to a shell of defeat. Her confident stride had vani
Chapter 434 – No Redemption Left
*****It had been more than three minutes since Xavier and the manager exited the bank, yet silence still gripped the bank like a vice.No one spoke.No one moved.The echoes of what had just transpired continued repeating endlessly in every mind, like a haunting dream on a loop.The employees stood frozen in place, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat, while customers remained rooted, too stunned to process anything.And then, there was Brenda—her expression hollow, as the soul had already abandoned her body. Her eyes were vacant, her breathing shallow.She stood there, unmoving, like a statue carved from guilt and shame.Finally… the guards.All of them were still on their knees, unmoving.They had known that Xavier’s wrath was coming and had tried to prepare.They had knelt before him long before he reached them, as they had originally reached them.They'd begged, wailed, and thrown every ounce of self-respect out the window.They blamed the devil.Literally.“It wa
Chapter 433 – One Card, Half A Trillion
*****All blood was pumping fiercely at this moment.Even the customers in the crowd could feel it, as if they too were tangled in the madness unraveling before them.‘He was treated like trash… and in retaliation, he decided to withdraw his savings, knowing that’s enough punishment for the bad treatment he was given?’'No… not just punishment. Something enough to bankrupt an entire national banking system!’People blinked, looking stunned. Their indignation, their pride, their frustration—they’d all come to the bank for similar reasons.Many had planned to withdraw everything from their accounts as a form of protest. They, too, had grievances after all.They were constantly mistreated by the bankers and constantly ignored and overlooked as well, even always getting abused.But now?Now, their actions felt nothing more than children’s tantrums compared to what they’d just witnessed.Even the customer with the largest savings among the ordinary customers began to shrink inwar
Chapter 432 – What Is A Flex If Not This
*****From a young age, Julius had been taught a foundational truth of high finance:Every account has a ceiling—no matter who you are and how limitless your account and card are.Whether you were a high-ranking official or belonged to a first-tier powerhouse, the rule remained unbreakable.Even the legendary families at the apex of global wealth—those whose shadows loomed over economies. It was said they were bound by this limitation.Yes, you could control assets worth billions… trillions, even.Yes, your investments could span industries, continents, and entire empires.But when it came to liquid funds—hard cash—there was always a cap. A regulatory boundary.Julius had questioned this growing up.He had wondered why someone couldn’t just liquidate everything they had. Why couldn’t they simply convert all their assets into cold, spendable cash?The answer had always been delivered in helpless and respectful tones by economic tutors and advisors alike:Inflation. Stability
Chapter 431 – The Account Balance That Causes Commotion
*****They say maintaining absolute silence in a room with fewer than fifty people is easy. Manageable, even.Once the number crosses a hundred, though? That’s where it becomes nearly impossible.Human beings would breathe. They would shift. They would cough, murmur, sneeze, and move without realizing it. Now, multiply that by a hundred, and absolute silence becomes little more than a fantasy.But that law didn’t seem to apply here. Not today. Not in this bank.More than three hundred people were packed shoulder to shoulder within the confines of the main banking hall—customers, employees, security personnel, and even a few passersby who had walked in just moments earlier.And yet…Not a sound.Not a whisper.Not a rustle.Not even the rustle of fabric or the sigh of shifting weight.This wasn’t just silence. This was a… void.It was the kind of unnatural, oppressive stillness that made the very air feel thick and heavy—as though it might shatter if anyone dared to move.
Chapter 430 – The Titanium Account Balance
*****Right now, Julius simply stood there, looking utterly frozen.He stared blankly at Xavier, his anger completely evaporated.His arrogance had withered, and now, only confusion and disbelief remained.‘Is… is he sane?’ he wondered.Who rejects VIP treatment?His brain simply couldn’t process what was happening.….Meanwhile, Gregory stared hard at Xavier, a storm of emotions passing through his gaze.What he had just heard had completely humbled him.There was no arrogance in Xavier’s tone. No flaunting of power. No smug satisfaction. And no ridicule.It was only a quiet principleA principle Gregory had long buried beneath rules and obligations.To be honest, he, too, hated the practice.That’s rightHe hated prioritizing people based on wealth or background, likewise believing that no human being should be treated better than the other, especially when the said human beings were even in their rights.But a rule was a rule no matter what—and unless he was tired o
