THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 12
“No, Javier.”Valeria grabbed Javier's hand and stopped him from leaving."Please wait a moment. This is just a misunderstanding," Valeria said.Javier’s dark eyes flickered with disinterest as he glanced at Valeria’s desperate grip on his sleeve."A misunderstanding? Interesting. I wasn’t aware that barring a man from stepping inside a house like an unwanted salesman required clarification."Heather, Valeria’s father, scoffed, his arms folded with the confidence of a king dismissing a mere peasant."We don’t need an explanation. We don’t welcome nameless men here."Valeria's fingers twitched, her grip tightening.But Javier merely tilted his head with a calm smile.The kind that made even seasoned businessmen uneasy."Nameless? That's quite the assumption. Are we handing out last names based on wealth now, or are we still pretending that decorum matters in this household?"Lily, Valeria’s mother, shifted uncomfortably, attempting a polite smile."Honey, perhaps we should—"Heather ra

To gain support, Valeria took Javier Everhart to the home of her uncle, Hudson Cortes."I hope you know what you're getting into," Javier said.He glanced at Valeria with a raised eyebrow as they drove through the city."Your family sounds like they’d eat me alive.""Not you." Valeria smiled.She adjusted her sunglasses."Just me. They don’t like my position in the company. They think I don’t deserve it."Javier exhaled slowly, studying her expression."So, you're walking into the lion’s den, and I’m supposed to be your shield?"Valeria nodded."Exactly. If they see that I have a strong man by my side, they'll hesitate to challenge me."Javier shook his head in amusement."You do realize I’m a bankrupt veterinarian, right? I’m not exactly an intimidating force."Valeria rolled her eyes."Details, details. They don’t need to know that. Just look calm, composed, and unbothered. You’re very good at that."Javier smirked."So you’re asking me to be a very expensive, well-dressed houseplan

The conflict between Valeria and Hudson, Valeria's uncle, was heating up.Hudson openly forced Valeria to relinquish the position of family president, arguing that Valeria's grandfather didn't have much time left and that only Hudson was fit to lead the great Solano family."You're clinging to a fantasy, Valeria. A woman leading the Solano family? Don't be ridiculous," Hudson sneered.His arms crossed over his chest, his smirk as sharp as a knife."Your grandfather is old, and when he's gone, this family needs real leadership—someone competent, someone like me.""Grandfather promised me the position, and he trusts me to lead!"Valeria snapped, her eyes burning with defiance."He's still healthy and would never hand over power to someone who only knows how to plot behind his back.""Oh, please," Hudson scoffedHe shook his head as if she were a child who had spoken out of turn."Women should stick to what they do best—shopping and looking pretty. Business isn't for you, dear niece. It’

"Do you need my help now, Valeria?"Javier asked, his voice as calm as ever. The faintest glint of amusement flickered in his dark eyes as he watched Valeria fume in frustration.Valeria clenched her jaw, crossing her arms as she glared at the mansion’s massive iron gates."I don't need your help, Javier. Don't make trouble."The words were clipped, filled with irritation, but the way she bit her lower lip betrayed her uncertainty.Valeria, as the president of the family group, wanted to get the support of Rowen's family, but couldn't even get in, realising that her idea was naive. The guards had just refused her entry, stating that the patriarch of the Rowen family, Dalton Rowen, was only seeing Hudson today.It was an obvious power play, one designed to humiliate her.But Valeria was not one to back down—unfortunately, brute force was not an option, and she knew it.Javier sighed, rubbing his temple as if dealing with a stubborn child."I might be able to help," he said simply, his

Everyone who was there fell silent. Especially Shane."Father, you must be mistaken!"Shane scoffed, crossing his arms as he glanced at Javier with a look of utter disdain."This man? Lord Everhart’s son? You need to get your eyesight checked."Dalton Rowen, a man of sharp instincts and an even sharper gaze, studied Javier with an intensity that made Shane shift uncomfortably."No," Dalton murmured.He stepped forward, his brows furrowing.The more Dalton looked at Javier, the more he saw King Everhart.They bore such an obvious resemblance that with just one look, he knew instantly that Javier was his son.And she never expected to see such an important person in her mansion."The resemblance is undeniable. He is Lord Everhart’s son.""I see you have a good memory, Mr. Rowen," Javier responded coolly, his face unreadable. "Unlike your son, who, just moments ago, was eager to throw me out."Shane’s face twisted in disbelief."You—!"He pointed a trembling finger at Javier, his express

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the grand entrance of the Rodrigo residence.The air was thick with tension as two figures stood at the gate, their intentions as clear as their animosity towards each other.Valeria, with her sharp eyes and stern expression, stood resolutely, her mind racing with the weight of the day's importance.She didn’t want Javier to come here, because she couldn’t stand to lose the support of the Rodrigo family.Beside her, Hudson lounged nonchalantly, a smirk playing on his lips as he casually leaned against the ornate iron gate.But now, as the shadows lengthened and the evening grew darker, her confidence began to waver. She couldn't afford to fail. If she didn't meet Rodrigo today, everything she had worked for could crumble.Her birthday banquet, meant to be a celebration of her achievements, would become a laughingstock.And with it, the family business, which had been in her family for generations, might spiral into decline."

She was about to step forward when the car pulled up and stopped right in front of them. Shane Rowen went out from the car.Valeria was shocked in disbelief as she stared at Shane Rowen.It was really Shane Rowen. Could it be that what Javier had said was true?Did Shane Rowen drive Javier here?As she stood there in shock, Shane Rowen walked to the back door of the car, opened it, and blocked the top of the door with one hand.With a respectful gesture, he said, "Please, Miss Valeria, get in the car." Valeria felt as if she were dreaming. Shane Rowen's behavior was that of a chauffeur.Now he was acting as a driver for Javier. Her mind went completely blank, and she was utterly stunned.Javier smiled and said, "Shane, I'm not leaving. My girlfriend heard that you were driving for me and came over to say hello.""Oh," Shane Rowen quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Valeria, completely different from being a jerk hours ago."Miss, what happened at my house today was all a misu

In the grand living room of the Rodrigo mansion, the head of the Rodrigo family, Douglas, was hosting a distinguished elderly man.The old man exuded an aura of authority and command, and Douglas treated him with utmost reverence, assuring him that the Rodrigo family would absolutely comply with his orders.The old man, with a stern yet wise expression, reminded Douglas, "While making money is important, there are things more valuable than wealth. We must not tarnish the Rodrigo family's reputation for the sake of profit."At that moment, a security guard, having interrupted the conversation between Douglas and the old man.“Mr. Rodrigo...”Douglas was immediately furious and yelled at the security guard, “Get the fuck out!”“Get out, didn't you see I'm with Mr. Sylas?Don't bother me with anything, no matter how important!"The security guard was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word and turned around to run.He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he ran into the yard.He cur

"Is that fear I see on your face, Marcellus?"Javier’s voice was calm as always, but there was an unmistakable sharpness beneath it—like a knife hidden beneath silk.Marcellus scoffed, straightening his suit. "Fear? Don’t flatter yourself, Everhart. This isn’t over."Javier remained motionless, his piercing gaze locked onto Marcellus. "No, it’s not. But for you? It will be soon."Hudson clenched his fists, his face a mask of barely contained rage. "You think one file is enough to bring us down? You’re a fool."Javier tilted his head slightly, as if considering the words. "A fool? Maybe. But I don’t need much to destroy you—just a single well-placed move. And you, Hudson, have handed me the perfect opportunity."Valeria stepped forward, her eyes cold. "I warned you, Marcellus. I warned you not to play games with me. But you never listen, do you?"Marcellus sneered. "You always think you're untouchable, Valeria. But let’s see how long that lasts."Javier’s gaze didn’t waver. "Threatenin
CHAPTER 58
"You need to see this."Valeria's voice was sharp, her phone screen glowing against her tense features. She didn't look at anyone but Javier, her expression unreadable.Javier took a slow step forward, his eyes never leaving hers. "What is it?"She turned the phone toward him. A headline flashed across the screen, bold and unrelenting:"SOLANO CORPORATION UNDER ATTACK – UNIDENTIFIED FORCES SEIZE COMPANY ASSETS"A low hum of tension filled the air.Hudson smirked, stepping forward with forced ease. "Looks like the mighty President Solano isn’t as untouchable as she thought."Valeria's jaw tightened, but she didn't rise to the bait.Marcellus scoffed. "I warned you, cousin. Power isn’t about who deserves it—it’s about who takes it first."Nathaniel, standing beside Javier, clicked his tongue. "And here I thought you two were just petty little schemers. Turns out you’re downright reckless."Hudson turned to him, eyes narrowing. "And yet, Westwood, you seem strangely unbothered by all of
CHAPTER 57
The room remained eerily silent, the weight of Nathaniel’s actions sinking into everyone’s consciousness. A man like him—calculated, ruthless, and feared—kneeling before Javier Everhart? It was unthinkable. Impossible. And yet, here it was.Hudson’s face twisted in fury. “What the hell is this nonsense?!” His voice thundered through the room, but no one moved.Marcellus, still in shock, managed to stammer, “Y-You… You’re supposed to be on our side, Westwood.”Nathaniel didn’t even spare him a glance. His attention remained solely on Javier, his posture unwavering.Javier tilted his head slightly, eyes dark with quiet amusement. “Interesting.” His voice was calm, as always, but there was something in his expression—something that sent a ripple of unease through his enemies.Valeria finally stepped forward, her arms crossed. “I don’t understand.” Her voice was laced with both suspicion and frustration. “Why are you doing this, Westwood? You have nothing to gain.”Nathaniel slowly lifted
CHAPTER 56
The moment the gunshot rang out, the room exploded into chaos.Valeria instinctively ducked behind a nearby chair, her heart pounding. Marcellus staggered back, his face twisted in panic. Hudson immediately grabbed his son by the arm, yanking him behind him as if to shield him.Javier, however, didn’t move. He remained standing exactly where he was, his sharp gaze scanning the room, searching for the source of the shot.Alicia, ever composed, smirked. “Oh, things just got interesting.”The security guards stationed near the door drew their weapons, their eyes darting wildly.“Who fired that shot?!” one of them barked.Silence.Then—A slow, deliberate set of footsteps echoed across the marble floor.Everyone turned toward the entrance.A tall man emerged from the shadows, his presence radiating an unmistakable authority. He was clad in a crisp black suit, his dark hair neatly styled. But what caught everyone’s attention was his eyes—cold, piercing, and completely unreadable.Javier’s
CHAPTER 55
Marcellus stood frozen, his eyes locked onto the small object in Alicia’s fingers. His normally arrogant expression was gone, replaced by something Javier had never seen before—pure, unfiltered fear.Hudson, too, had stiffened, his gaze flickering between Alicia and the item she held.Javier, however, remained as calm as ever. He observed the situation with mild interest, his sharp eyes catching every microexpression on Marcellus’s face.Alicia twirled the object between her fingers, her smirk never fading. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost, Marcellus.”Marcellus swallowed hard, his fists clenching. “Where… Where did you get that?”Alicia chuckled, slow and dangerous. “Oh, come now. Did you really think something this valuable wouldn’t find its way back to me?”Javier tilted his head slightly. “And what exactly is this?”Alicia turned her gaze to him, amusement flickering in her eyes. “Wouldn’t you like to know?”Javier’s lips curled into a half-smile. “I would.”Alicia let out a low
CHAPTER 54
Everyone watched in stunned silence as the man remained kneeling before Javier, his head bowed in deference.Hudson Solano’s smirk had vanished, replaced by something dangerously close to unease. Marcellus, who had always taken pleasure in belittling Javier, now looked as though he had swallowed glass.Javier, however, remained composed. He gazed down at the kneeling man with the same calm indifference he had worn since the beginning."Stand," Javier ordered, his voice smooth but firm.The man immediately obeyed, rising to his feet with his head still slightly bowed in respect.Marcellus scoffed, though the edge of uncertainty in his tone was undeniable. "Who the hell is this? Another one of your pathetic lackeys?"The man turned his cold eyes toward Marcellus, and for the first time, it was Marcellus who shifted uncomfortably.Javier let out a slow breath. "Tell them who you are."The man straightened his suit before speaking. "My name is Rafael Montenegro. CEO of Montenegro Holdings
CHAPTER 53
The hallway remained suffocatingly silent.Javier Everhart had never been one to raise his voice or demand attention, yet here he was—standing with that ever-calm expression, his very presence demanding the respect of the entire room. The moment the man had kneeled before him, every whispered insult, every mocking glance had dissolved into fear.Marcellus clenched his jaw. He had spent years enjoying moments like these, watching Javier be dismissed as merely a composed, boring man. But now, something was wrong.Javier wasn’t supposed to have this kind of influence.Not him.Not while Marcellus and his father were working to rip everything away from Valeria Solano—including her company, her reputation, and her engagement.Marcellus quickly regained his composure, forcing a smirk. "Well, that was dramatic. What’s next? Are people going to start throwing themselves at your feet?" His voice was laced with mockery, but there was an underlying stiffness that Javier easily caught.Javier gla
CHAPTER 52
The room was suffocatingly tense. The echoes of Valeria’s accusations still lingered in the air, and Adriana’s crocodile tears had long dried, replaced with nervous glances toward the door. But Javier Everhart, ever calm, merely adjusted his cufflinks, his sharp gaze unreadable.Outside, the hallway was filled with murmurs. The hotel’s prestigious guests, some eager onlookers, others opportunists looking for gossip, whispered about what they had just witnessed—Valeria Solano, the Solano heiress, storming into a hotel room with fire in her eyes, confronting the man she was supposed to marry.Whispers turned into hushed snickers.“The Everhart heir caught in a scandal.” “Guess the golden prince isn’t so golden after all.” “His engagement with Valeria is as good as broken.”Javier heard them. He simply didn’t react.That was, until Marcellus appeared, flanked by a few of his father’s associates, wearing his usual smirk that dripped of mockery.“Well, well, well,” Marcellus drawled, his
CHAPTER 51
Javier's smirk didn't waver as he leaned against the doorframe, his sharp gaze locked onto the two men standing just outside the room. Marcellus and Hudson, the masterminds behind this pathetic setup, had the audacity to show up now? How convenient.Valeria's breath hitched, her hands clenching into fists. "What is he doing here?" she snapped, her voice laced with fury as she glared at Marcellus.Marcellus, ever the performer, let out a mock sigh and shook his head. "Valeria, I came because I was worried about you. I knew something was off about Javier. I warned you, didn’t I? And now..." His eyes flicked toward Adriana, who was still trembling. "Now you see the truth."Javier let out a quiet chuckle, slow and menacing. "The truth?" He tilted his head slightly. "Tell me, Marcellus, which part of this mess did you rehearse the most? The fake concern, or the dramatic entrance?"Hudson, standing beside his son, scoffed. "Still arrogant, I see. That attitude of yours is exactly why you're
