Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 209
*****“Mother, has the estate sent the dress I asked for?” Xavier, walking out of the opulent, luxurious washroom, whose size rivaled that of a two-bedroom apartment called out, rubbing his damp hair with a hand towel, but then just as he stepped into the room, he froze mid-stride.His gaze locked on the massive-sized bed, where a flashy red suit, glistering with golden gems was spread out, his mother currently smoothening it with visible excitement.“What… is that?” Xavier asked slowly, his voice laced with astonishment, and hearing him, Laura, startled looked up, finally noticing him.“Oh, son, you’re already out!” she said brightly, her grin widening, then as though recalling something, she gestured excitedly toward the suit."This is the outfit the estate sent over—just look at it!?" Laura took a moment to admire the suit, her voice brimming with joy “Isn’t it magnificent?” She inquired, then not waiting for a response, beamed.“It screams wealth and elegance! You’ll look st

*****“Are… you okay, mother?” Xavier asked cautiously once his call ended, noticing his mother staring off into space.“I…” Laura flinched slightly, snapping back to reality.“I am,” she replied, a bit too quickly. But when she noticed the doubt in Xavier’s expression, she sighed and stood up, looking at him seriously.“Son,” she began, her tone firm but caring, “I know you might hesitate to embrace expensive things because of… our financial struggles, but—”“Financial struggles?” Xavier interrupted, his brow furrowing in confusion.“I didn’t mean it that way,” Laura said hastily, her hands fluttering nervously, not knowing how to express herself.“What I mean is that you shouldn’t stress yourself so much or create unnecessary worries. What feels like a stretch today will one day be commonplace. What seems luxurious now will one day feel ordinary, and what feels insufficient will eventually become excessive.”She rose and walked closer to Xavier, her hand resting gently on hi

*****“Yes, come in,” a cold yet melodious voice rang out from the depths of a spacious, luxurious office. A second later, the bulletproof door slid open, revealing Dorothy in a knee-length blue pencil skirt that perfectly accentuated her slender yet slightly curvy figure, complemented by a sharp white blazer. She held a stylish blue handbag in one hand and a tidy folder in the other.“Good morning, boss,” she greeted respectfully as she approached the grand desk at the center of the room.Just as she was about to set the folder in her hand down, however, the figure behind the desk looked up from a pile of documents she was working on.“You’re here,” Grace uttered calmly, stretching slightly, her every movement radiating an air of poise, coldness, and elegance. However, her brows furrowed in the next second as she caught sight of Dorothy staring at her, wide-eyed and frozen in place.“Something the matter?” Grace asked, her tone laced with mild curiosity.Dorothy blinked rapidly

*****At the same time, Grace braced herself for Dorothy’s inevitable bad news, a young man in a tailored Chanel suit strode arrogantly toward a sleek black car. His lips curled into a devilish, energized smile, exuding a confidence that bordered on disdain.“Good morning, Master,” a muscular bodyguard greeted, bowing respectfully before opening the car door.Lucius Scoan acted as if the bodyguard didn’t exist, his gaze fixed ahead.Without a word, he slid into the back seat where a woman in a revealing dress awaited. Her sultry demeanor filled the space as she held an iPad in one hand and a steaming cup of coffee in the other.“Good morning, Master,” she purred, her voice low and honeyed, her eyes glimmering, slightly misty, her cheeks tinged pink—a deliberate attempt to entice Lucius, handing the steaming cup of coffee.“Morning,” Lucius replied, taking a sip of the coffee as his sharp eyes scanned the secretary’s form.In the next second, Lucius’s breathing quickened, and withou

*****Back in Grace’s office, the air was currently heavy with tension.Completely unaware that someone she had long forgotten about was currently plotting her downfall—something that would soon leave her and her entire family hopeless, helpless, and terrified Grace sat stiffly, listening to Dorothy’s report, which, as she had anticipated, was far from good news.The mission had been straightforward: Dorothy was to visit a potential company to present Grace’s meticulously crafted plan in the hope of securing even a small share of the projects—just a fragment from the leftovers.Under normal circumstances, Grace would have handled it herself—her presence and persuasive abilities often being the key to success—but that morning, she had simply run out of time.…According to Dorothy, she had arrived at the company’s headquarters right on time, coincidentally alongside the CEO. However, as soon as her identity was learned, security intervened and escorted her out, then the reception

*****Dorothy had been tasked with uncovering the connection between the Blackwood patriarch and Xavier.She had carried out the mission, but in the heat of her desperation to help her boss, she had entirely forgotten to report her findings.“You didn’t carry out the task?” Grace asked, her sharp tone cutting through Dorothy’s awkwardness.Dorothy swallowed hard. “I… I did, boss,” she admitted, guilt written across her face.“And?” Grace pressed, leaning forward.“I…” Dorothy hesitated, then began recounting her findings about Xavier and the Blackwoods.She described how Xavier had helped the elderly patriarch and how the old man later witnessed Xavier’s father being bullied.Her report was startlingly accurate, capturing events with precision, save for a few vital omissions. And had Xavier been there, he would have been stunned—wondering if she had been there.…..For a moment after Dorothy was done, Grace couldn’t react, then dazedly;“So… in other words, the villa was a
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 215 - Grace Ganged Up Against
*****For what felt like an eternity after the old man finished speaking, Grace and Dorothy remained frozen, stunned into silence, refusing to believe their ears.Meanwhile, seeing Grace like this, Mason, Honey, and Nico had a wide, smug grin on their faces, their eyes gleaming with malice, their satisfaction palpable as they relished Grace’s stunned expression.Eventually, Grace blinked, snapping herself out of her stupor. Her heart then pounded as she looked at the old man, disbelief heavily etched into her features.“I… I don’t think I heard you quite right, Grandfather,” she stammered, her voice trembling, thinking her ears had deceived her. Just at that moment;“Then I suppose your ears have stopped working,” Honey sneered, her tone dripping with venom, staring Grace down with a face etched heavily with a mocking smile.Seeing this look on Honey’s face, Grace froze again, then her gaze flicked toward Mason and Nico, searching their faces for any hint of what was going on.
Rise From Prison: Married To A Beautiful CEO Chapter 216 - Grace’s Never-expected Punishment
*****“Huh?”Grace’s unexpected defiance sent a sudden ripple of shock through the room, and then Mason, Honey, and Nico exchanged stunned, disbelief gazes, struggling to process the sudden shift in her demeanor.“You…” Honey began after a moment of silence, pointing a trembling finger at Grace.But Grace wasn’t finished. Her years of pent-up anger finally erupted like a storm.“You guys constantly undermine me and belittle my sacrifices,” she spat.“Wasn’t this company left in your father’s care after Grandmother could no longer manage it? And what happened?” She demanded frostily, glaring fiercely at Honey and Mason. “The company was nearly bankrupted!” She barked.“It was me who stepped in, pouring my blood, sweat, and energy into saving it. And yet, apart from Grandmother, has anyone here ever acknowledged my efforts before?”“This…” Everyone flinched, the silence following Grace’s question deafening.“While Grandma willed this company to me. Did she not will different mo

Chapter 343 – Xavier’s Unexpected Offer
*****While Elliot’s mind spiraled in chaos, drowning in regret and pain, God’s Time could only stare at Xavier, tears pouring down his face like a broken dam.He had spent his entire life doing what he believed was right—helping others in the best way he knew how, without expecting anything in return.Yet, never — not even once in his wildest dreams had he imagined that great heart of kindness... of helping people with no expectation for return would one day be the very thing that saved his life.It helped him out in his direst, most hopeless, and weakest state.Gave him a second chance.A chance to live.And a chance to start over.Thinking this, God’s Time couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly against each other, his chest heaving with the weight of his emotions. Then, sniffing hard, he nodded his head repeatedly, appearing as if he was sealing an unspoken vow.“Even… even if I have to do good until the day I die… even if kindness would end up taking my life,” he whis
Chapter 342 – Elliot’s Regret
*****By the time the husband and wife’s emotional outburst ultimately settled, several minutes had already passed.Realizing what she had done, Selene awkwardly let go of her husband and jumped to her feetThe ward fell into a heavy silence afterward, broken only by the occasional sniffle or shaky breath.Finally, however, God’s Time turned back to Xavier, his eyes swollen and red.He didn’t speak immediately.Instead, he stared, as if trying to reconcile the image of the boy he thought Xavier was with the man who had shattered his expectations beyond miles.The night they had met flashed through his mind like scenes from a fractured dream.He had assumed Xavier was also a lost soul — a wanderer like himself, someone who had fled his village in search of a greener pasture, not knowing that he would only be swallowed by the harshness of the city like himself and the others.He had even offered Xavier a place to stay in his crumbling home, thinking he was doing the boy a favor
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
