THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 14
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

Javier sat across from Sylas and Douglas, his expression composed as he stirred his coffee.The meeting had gone better than expected—Sylas had not only shown his support but had also persuaded Douglas to adjust his demanding schedule to attend Valeria’s birthday banquet.It was a rare show of flexibility from the usually rigid man.“I appreciate your support, Mr. Sylas,” Javier said, setting his cup down. “And Mr, Rodrigo, I understand your schedule is tight. Your presence at the banquet means a lot.”Douglas leaned back, studying Javier with an unreadable expression.How great Javier was even made Sylas submit and the impact flowed to him as well.“I wouldn’t have agreed if not for Sylas’s insistence.”Sylas chuckled. “Consider it my honor to assist you, Javier.”Javier inclined his head. “Even so, I won’t take it for granted.”Valeria, who had been quietly observing, realized she might have underestimated Javier’s influence.How had he secured their support so effortlessly?And why

The next afternoon, Javier found himself inside an exclusive tailoring boutique, standing in front of three full-length mirrors as the tailor-made the final adjustments to his suit.Valeria sat gracefully on a velvet chair nearby, crossing her legs. Her eyes scanned Javier’s appearance in the suit, which made him look completely different.Different enough to leave her momentarily speechless.Javier had the perfect body proportions—broad shoulders, a strong frame, and striking features that enhanced his naturally handsome face.His well-maintained physique made him effortlessly appealing to women.Even though he was a failed doctor, his presence alone gave him an undeniable charm.But only for amusement.Valeria had personally chosen this place, ensuring that every detail of his attire was flawless.Javier smirked slightly—he was aware that no amount of tailoring could change who he was at his core.“Not bad,” she finally commented, lifting her gaze. “At least you don’t look like you j

Hudson stepped forward, his boots striking the broken ground with a resonating thud, as if he were the harbinger of something far worse than even Lazarus' dark magic. His presence exuded power — unyielding and oppressive. Every inch of his being seemed like a force of nature, relentless and untouchable.Javier’s eyes flickered towards him, but there was no shift in his demeanor. The calm that surrounded him was like the stillness before a storm. He didn’t flinch. He didn’t even blink.Hudson’s voice was low and dangerous, a growl that echoed in the stillness of the chamber.“You’ve made your mistakes, Javier,” Hudson said, his lips curling into a cruel smile. “You think you can challenge me, the legacy of centuries? You’re nothing more than an illusion, a child playing at alchemy. Your power is a hollow shell.”Javier’s hand still rested in the air, his fingers twitching slightly as if ready to strike again, but he didn’t move. He didn’t need to.“I don’t play at anything,” Javier rep
CHAPTER 114
The titan tore itself from the last of the golden chains, its body surging with renewed, terrifying strength.Lazarus stood behind it, hands folded calmly behind his back, as if he had already won. His golden eyes never left Javier, gleaming with malicious amusement.Valeria gripped Javier’s sleeve tighter, feeling the heat of the battlefield rise. She could barely breathe, the pressure was so immense, but Javier… he didn’t flinch.He didn’t move.He simply stared.Silent.Calculating.Then, finally, he spoke — voice low and dangerous."You mistake survival for inheritance."The titan lunged, spear whistling through the air with monstrous force.Javier moved.One step.That was all.The spear missed entirely, embedding itself into the stone wall behind him with an ear-shattering crash. Before the titan could recover, Javier’s fingers flicked forward, almost lazily.A thin line of silver light cut through the darkness.The titan froze mid-motion.A crack, faint but unmistakable, split

Javier moved at the last instant, evading the strike by mere inches. The shockwave flattened the nearby walls, sending debris spiraling into the blackness. Valeria covered her head, shielding herself from the raining stones.Javier stood unharmed in the eye of the storm.The titan turned its hollow, glowing gaze toward him again. Its massive hand wrenched the spear from the cracked earth and spun it with unnatural speed, wind howling around the weapon.A second strike came—faster, more brutal.Javier didn’t back down.Instead, he raised his right hand, fingers moving in intricate, ancient patterns midair. A low hum resonated from his palm, gathering into a thin golden sigil

The world blurred into chaos.The floor swallowed them whole, but Javier landed cleanly, as if he had expected it all along. His boots hit the dark stone with a controlled thud. Around him, pieces of the collapsing building rained down, dust choking the stale air. Valeria stumbled nearby, coughing violently. Lucian and the others were nowhere to be seen—only distant screams and the grinding of stone echoed.Javier rose, dusting his coat casually.From the depths of the darkness, Subject Zero’s laughter slithered toward him."You fall into my home now, Everhart," the monster rasped, voice booming through the hollow underground. "Here, the rules change."Javier ignored the

CHAPTER 111
The room held its breath.Subject Zero stepped through the dust and chaos like a ghost given flesh. Seven feet tall, skin pale as wax, a twisted alchemical brand pulsing red-hot across his chest. His eyes—too human to be soulless, too inhuman to be sane—were locked on only one person.Javier Everhart.The guards raised their weapons. Lucian North scrambled back, nearly tripping over his own fear. Alric didn’t speak; he merely pressed his back against the farthest wall, trembling like a man watching a nightmare he once created walk again.“You,” Subject Zero rasped, voice deep and strange—as if several voices spoke through one mouth. “Everhart.”Javier didn’t move. His stance remained relaxed, one hand in his coat pocket. “I figured you’d come.”Subject Zero’s cracked lips curled into something like a grin. “They said you died. That the last of the alchemists was gone.”“They lied,” Javier said simply.Valeria grabbed his arm. “Javier—this thing—what is it?”He glanced at her. “A bypro
CHAPTER 110
“The Everhart bloodline should’ve been extinct.”Those words echoed through the sterile silence of the secret underground hall, the scent of dust and burning wires still lingering in the air. Javier stood before the council table, his expression unreadable. He had just dismantled half of Project Helix with nothing but strategy, silence, and the weight of his name.Across the room, Dr. Alric Mendez—head researcher of Project Helix—leaned forward, trying to mask the trembling in his hands with a condescending grin.“You’re clever, I’ll give you that,” Alric said, his voice gravelly. “But cleverness doesn't make you immortal, Everhart.”Javier didn’t respond. He didn’t need to. The moment his gaze
CHAPTER 109
News of Marcus Renshaw’s public humiliation had spread like wildfire through the business world, especially after footage of him being escorted out of the summit made its rounds online. Javier, as always, remained unbothered by the noise. He was already two steps ahead, focused on the deeper enemy—the consortium.Inside his private study, Javier reviewed encrypted files, eyes scanning faster than the average mind could comprehend. Alchemy wasn’t just about turning lead into gold. For Javier, a direct descendant of the ancient art, it was about transformation—of matter, of strategy, of power.Valeria entered the room without knocking, her presence calm but purposeful. "The contact from Zurich confirmed. The financial trail leads straight to Konstantin Sorel."Javier nodded slowly. "The head of Sorel Holdings. One of the consortium’s top financiers."Valeria crossed her arms. "You really think he’ll fall for the bait?""He won’t need to," Javier said, standing. "Because by the time he r
CHAPTER 108
Javier stood still, watching as Marcus Renshaw was escorted out by the security officers. His mind was already calculating the next step in his victory. Marcus might have been a nuisance, but Javier had anticipated every move. The tech world wasn’t kind to those who played dirty, and it was only a matter of time before Marcus’s arrogance caught up with him.Valeria’s voice broke through his thoughts. “You’ve already won, haven’t you?”Javier glanced at her, his expression composed, but something in his eyes softened when they met hers. “It’s not over yet, Valeria. Not by a long shot. Winning today was only a small part of a much larger picture.”Valeria gave him a questioning look, sensing there was more to the story than he let on. "What do you mean?"Javier’s lips curled slightly as he turned toward the exit, guiding her along with him. “The market may think Marcus is finished, but we both know this is just the beginning. There are more players involved — much bigger ones than Marcu
