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.

    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

    Javier Everhart stood outside the bedroom door, clutching a bouquet of white lilies—the ones Camila had once claimed were her favorite.He wondered if the past few years had been nothing more than an elaborate joke played at his expense.His grip on the flowers tightened as he heard the unmistakable sounds of pleasure coming from behind the door.The moans of a woman and a man intertwined, and Javier knew exactly whose voices they were.His wife. Camila Valverde.He had planned to surprise her today, but who would have thought that the flowers he brought would be met with betrayal?"Ah! Honey! Deeper!"Camila’s voice from behind the door made Javier freeze."Better than your husband?"A man’s voice followed, seeking validation.Camila laughed, mocking."Of course, you’re better in every way. Javier is utterly useless, both in bed and in everything else."The man let out a booming laugh.What the crap are they talking about?Javier clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. Rage a

    Javier found the bracelet and carefully put it away. He was furious. Mateo had just spat on his head, and before he could react, he heard Mateo's mockery from above;"Look, this is what a beggar like you should be doing, rummaging through the trash to see if there's anything to eat or something valuable."Javier could no longer control his anger."Fuck you!"Javier’s patience finally snapped. In a flash, his fist connected with Mateo’s face. A sickening crunch echoed through the room as cartilage shattered under the force of the blow.Mateo staggered backward, a curse slipping from his lips as he clutched his bleeding nose.His grip found the edge of the bed, steadying himself.Camila shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as she rushed to Mateo’s side."Javier! Have you lost your mind?!" she screamed, voice laced with panic.They clashed like wild animals, raw fury igniting the air between them.Camila’s fear spiked. She didn’t want her boss hurt since it might jeopardize her promo

    “Miss, it appears he’s been badly wounded,” the driver reported as he hefted Javier’s limp body into the passenger seat.Valeria reclined, using her thigh as a makeshift pillow for his head.Her eyes locked onto the bloodstained bruise on his temple, while her fingers trailed along his pallid face. “Handle him with care,” she murmured.“Who would do this to him?” she whispered, her gaze filled with quiet fury.“Seems someone attacked him,” the driver replied, shutting the car door and starting the engine.“Should we take him to the hospital, Miss?”“Be quick,” Valeria said, her eyes narrowing as she inspected his bruised knuckles and torn shirt.Something about him stirred memories deep within her.Her hand slid to his wrist, stopping abruptly as she noticed a silver bracelet wound tightly around it—a bracelet hauntingly identical to the one she’d worn since childhood.The instant her skin made contact, a sudden, intense warmth radiated from her own bracelet, stealing her breath away.

    “Where... am I?”Javier’s voice came out rough and raw, as if every word cost him a bit of his strength.“You’re in my mansion,” replied Valeria, seated beside him.With a raised, delicate brow and a smile that mixed amusement with a hint of condescension, she continued, “I found you bleeding in an alley, and I couldn’t leave you there bleeding to death.”Javier’s hand flew to his head, expecting a wound of his recent ordeal, only to find unblemished skin.“That’s weird, I remember a strike,” he murmured, confusion flickering in eyes that usually burned with quiet resolve.Yet there were no wounds to be seen.“You were hit,” Valeria confirmed. “I even took you to the hospital, but they said you were fine—no serious injuries. So I brought you here to keep an eye on you until you wake up.”Javier’s gaze shifted to her, noticing that behind her teasing tone lay a spark of curiosity.“Then I owe you my thanks.”“You do,” she replied, tapping a perfectly manicured finger against her chin.

    Valeria was slightly surprised.But she tried to stay calm and assumed there must be a reason for Javier's method to open her dress."Are you out of your mind?!"The doctor standing beside the bed nearly dropped his instruments after hearing Javier’s request.“Ms. Solano, we must expel him at once! He's too rude. Why is he asking to take off your dress?”"I have no bad intentions. Just helping with the methods I know."Javier defended himself.“Your methods are absurd. It was a big insult!”He pointed at Javier's face, his eyes burning with anger."Calm down, doctor." Valeria raised an eyebrow, gazing at him with a faint smile. "I trust him.""What?!" The doctor almost choked on his own breath. "Miss, you’re seriously—""Leave."Valeria cut him off lazily, waving toward the door casually."All of you, get out."The doctor and the guards exchanged glances before eventually exiting the room, though their faces clearly showed disapproval.Once the door closed, an eerie silence filled the

    Javier answered the phone.He hadn't even spoken yet, but Camila was already cursing him out."Are you deaf, or do you just enjoy wasting my time?!"Camila's voice dripped with venom."I told you to get to the city hall now. Mateo is getting impatient, and if you make him wait any longer, he'll make sure your miserable life becomes even more pathetic.""Ah, so now your boss is handling your personal affairs too? How efficient.”Javier said, his voice as smooth as ever."Next time, should I just schedule our arguments through his secretary? Or maybe he’d like to sign the divorce papers for you?""Stop acting so smug, Javier!”She snapped him.Her voice boomed like thunder.“Just hurry up and come sign the damn papers. Or are you still clinging to some delusional hope that I’ll change my mind?""Camila, I assure you, the only thing I regret is not throwing these papers at you first. But since you’re in such a hurry to become someone else's burden, I’ll do you the favor. See you soon.""

    Javier silently looked at them, feeling no anger in his heart but rather amusement.Javier is no longer surprised by Camila's actions because she can be as selfish as she is now, especially regarding money."Unbelievable," Javier muttered.Camila rolled her eyes lazily.She gave Javier a lazy look as if she were fed up with him."Sign the papers already, Javier."Camila scoffed, tapping her manicured nails against the table."Let's not drag this out. Mateo and I have a future to build, and you're just a speck of dust in my past.""I'd hurry if I were you," Mateo added with a smirk.He adjusted the cuffs of his expensive suit."The sooner you sign, the sooner Camila can finally be with a real man.""I see," Javier responded.His voice steady, his expression unreadable."A real man, you say?" Javier said."Is that the one who sneaks around with someone else's wife behind closed doors?"Camila rolled her eyes, flipping her hair over her shoulder.Javier knew it was because Camila now bec

    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

    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."

    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

    "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

    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’

    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

    “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
