THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 30
The sharp sound of a gunshot echoed through the grand hall, sending a wave of panic through the guests.Some gasped, others instinctively ducked, while a few guards rushed forward, weapons drawn.Javier, however, remained calm.With a steady gaze, he turned toward the entrance, where the shadowed figure stood.The air was thick with tension, but instead of fear, Javier’s expression was one of mild curiosity—as if this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.Valeria, standing beside him, clenched her fists.“What now?” she muttered under her breath, irritation lacing her tone.Hudson and Marcellus, on the other hand, looked startled, their faces paling as if they had just witnessed their worst nightmare.The figure stepped forward, revealing himself in the dim light.Luciano Perez.A known business rival of the Solano family—one who had long opposed Sebastian’s leadership.His dark eyes gleamed with malice as he held the gun up, pointing it not at Valeria… but at Javier.A calcula
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 31
Valeria barely had time to savour her victory before Hudson's words rang in her ears."Did you really think I wouldn’t have a backup plan?"The way he said it—smooth, confident, dangerous—sent a chill down her spine.The celebration had barely begun, but tension still lingered in the air.Guests whispered among themselves. Some congratulated Valeria, while others exchanged uncertain glances, wondering what Hudson’s next move would be.Javier stood beside Valeria, his expression unreadable. Calm. Unbothered.Yet, the way his gaze subtly followed Hudson and Marcellus showed that he was fully aware of the brewing storm.Bryan Dormino, now standing at Valeria’s side like a silent guardian, smirked. “Hudson, Hudson… Always so bitter when things don’t go your way.”Hudson, ever the graceful loser, merely chuckled. “Don’t get too comfortable, Valeria. Enjoy this moment while it lasts.”Valeria lifted her chin. “Oh, trust me, cousin. I plan to.”Marcellus, however, looked impatient.He turned

Valeria barely had time to enjoy her victory before another storm hit.She had expected Hudson and Marcellus to retreat and lick their wounds, but she underestimated their desperation.Because just two hours after the board finalised her presidency, chaos erupted.And this time, it was worse."Solano Enterprises Accused of Corruption!""Newly Appointed President, Valeria Solano, Under Investigation!""Illegal Fund Transfers Linked to Solano Enterprises – Is This the End?"Headlines exploded across every media platform.Reporters swarmed outside the Solano headquarters like vultures, camera flashes blinding the entrance.Inside the boardroom, voices clashed like a battlefield."THIS is why we didn't want her as president!"One board member hissed."These accusations are baseless!"Another defended."But the evidence is all over the news—""Fabricated evidence!" Valeria snapped.Her fists clenched under the heavy stares of the board members.Her name, reputation, and leadership were bei
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 33
The atmosphere inside the boardroom was suffocating.Whispers spread like wildfire, laced with disbelief.The scandal had been dismantled, and Valeria’s position as president was secure.But the call she had just received left an unsettling chill running down her spine.Her fingers trembled slightly as she placed her phone on the table.Who the hell was that?Before she could dwell on it, the door to the boardroom burst open.A man stepped inside, his presence sharp and commanding.Tall, with piercing grey eyes and an air of quiet authority, he carried himself with the ease of someone who belonged nowhere yet dominated everywhere.He wore a perfectly tailored suit, but there was a certain ruthlessness in his stance as if he had spent more time in warzones than in corporate offices.The moment his gaze landed on Javier, something shifted.He smirked.And then—He took a deep bow.“Young Master,” he said, his voice calm but unwavering.The entire room fell into stunned silence.Valeria’

Valeria couldn’t stop smiling.Hudson looked ready to explode, but he couldn’t do anything.Not when the entire board had turned against him.Raphael had just given her the ultimate weapon—a secured vote that cemented her position as president.Hudson, for all his arrogance, had lost.But Valeria wasn’t stupid.This wasn’t over.And neither was Javier’s battle.She turned her head slightly, glancing at him.He was calm, composed, and unreadable.As always.Even after being publicly recognised as the heir to the Everhart Conglomerate—after years of living as a so-called "nobody"—he had barely reacted.Not even a twitch of emotion.If anything, he looked… bored.Valeria found herself smirking.Javier was impossible.And yet, he was hers.***The meeting adjourned, and the board members filed out, still whispering about Javier Everhart’s real identity.Hudson and Marcellus remained behind.Predictable.“Congratulations, sweetheart.”Hudson’s voice was drenched in sarcasm as he approached
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 35
The day of Valeria’s coronation had arrived.A grand hall, draped in the finest silks, glittering chandeliers, and a sea of elites dressed in their finest attire. Every eye was on her.The moment she had been waiting for.The moment Hudson had tried to steal from her.She stood at the centre, poised and regal, but she was not alone.Javier stood beside her, his suit immaculate, his expression unreadable.And at the far end of the hall?Hudson and Marcellus.Watching. Waiting.They weren’t done.***Valeria’s grandfather sat at the head of the hall, his presence alone commanding silence.He raised a hand, his deep voice echoing across the room.“Today, we witness the official rise of the next Solano leader.”A murmur rippled through the crowd.Hudson stepped forward, his face a mask of calm—but his eyes burned with restrained fury.“Before this ceremony continues,” Hudson began, “I believe there is a matter that must be addressed.”Valeria’s lips curled. Here we go.Her grandfather fro

Valeria sat at the head of the long glass conference table, the weight of her position pressing down on her shoulders—but not in the way she had expected.She had fought for this.Earned it.Yet here she was, being questioned. Mocked.By none other than Marcellus.He stood across from her, his arms crossed, his expression twisted in condescension.“This is a joke.” His voice, thick with disdain, filled the room. “You? Running this company? This position was never meant for you, Valeria.”She didn’t flinch.Marcellus smirked. “It should have gone to my father. Hudson. The rightful heir. Not some little girl playing CEO.”The words dripped with venom, each syllable meant to wound.But Valeria?She was unshakable.She leaned back in her chair, eyes sharp, voice steady. “And yet, here I am. Sitting in this chair. Giving the orders. While you?” She tilted her head. “Still just running your mouth.”Marcellus’ smirk faltered for a fraction of a second.The employees in the room stiffened.Th
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 37
Everyone is silence.The tension in the room was suffocating.Marcellus leaned back in his chair, a smug smirk stretched across his lips as he waited for her to break.To lash out.To crumble under the weight of humiliation.The employees barely hid their whispers. Some of them pitied her. Others were amused.César Fontaine sipped his coffee, unbothered. He hadn’t even glanced at her once since stepping into the room.Valeria Solano was being erased.And yet—She did not shatter.She exhaled slowly and controlled before leaning forward, resting her elbows on the table, and folding her hands together.Her voice, when she spoke, was calm. Deadly.“Marcellus.” She smiled, but there was no warmth.“Do you know what I find interesting about cockroaches?”Marcellus stiffened.His smirk faltered, just a little.She continued.“They think they own the place. Crawling around, pretending they belong, until someone turns on the light.” She tilted her head. “And suddenly? They scatter.”A sharp i

CHAPTER 60
"You look like you've seen a ghost, Marcellus."Dante's voice cut through the suffocating silence in the room, his amusement barely veiling the danger beneath. His sharp gaze flickered between Marcellus and Hudson, taking in their stunned expressions.Marcellus' jaw clenched. His fingers twitched at his sides as he struggled to process what had just happened. A man of high influence—someone they never imagined would bow to Javier—was now kneeling before him.Javier, however, remained eerily calm, his dark eyes locked onto the kneeling man. "Stand up." His voice was even, but there was an edge to it, a quiet command that sent a shiver through the air.The man obeyed immediately, rising with a deep nod of respect. "I have made my decision. I will serve you, Everhart."Hudson's fists tightened. "You damn traitor! Do you have any idea what you've just done?" His voice was rough, desperate even, as if shouting could reverse the inevitable.Javier turned slightly, tilting his head. "He's do
CHAPTER 59
"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
