THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 48
Valeria sat at her desk, flipping through reports, when her phone vibrated. A message. No name. Just an anonymous number.Her brows furrowed as she tapped on the notification. Several images loaded—grainy, taken from a distance, but clear enough to show Javier. His tall frame, the familiar cut of his suit. And beside him, a woman. The angles were frustratingly obscured, the shots all taken from behind. But one thing was obvious—Javier was not alone.Valeria’s grip on the phone tightened. Her pulse spiked with irritation and something dangerously close to panic.Her fingers moved swiftly, dialing the number, straight to voicemail.“Of course,” she muttered, jaw clenching.She inhaled sharply, steadied herself, and called Javier. Once. Twice. Three times.No answer.Her nails tapped impatiently against her desk as she dialed again.This time, someone picked up.But it wasn’t Javier.“Mr. Everhart is busy,” a woman’s voice, smooth and unfamiliar, answered.Valeria froze.Who—“Who is thi

A sharp pain pulsed through Javier’s skull as he stirred, his vision still hazy. The world felt off-kilter, like he was floating in a fog. His fingers pressed against the cool sheets beneath him. A bed. A hotel room.Something was wrong.The last thing he remembered was dinner with Adriana. The expensive wine. A polite sip. Then—nothing.Javier exhaled slowly, pushing himself upright. His head throbbed, but clarity fought its way through the dizziness.Then he saw her.Adriana sat on the edge of the bed, her dress disheveled, her hair in disarray. Her lower lip trembled, and her arms were wrapped around herself as if shielding herself from an invisible force.Her eyes flicked up to meet his, glistening with unshed tears.“Javier…” she whispered, voice broken. “You’re awake.”Javier’s stomach twisted with unease. “What… happened?” His voice came out hoarse.Adriana flinched, looking away as if ashamed.“You don’t remember?” Her voice was barely above a whisper.Javier’s jaw clenched. “

Valeria.Javier exhaled slowly, closing his eyes for a brief second.Adriana’s face drained of color. “N-no… she can’t—”Valeria’s voice came again, sharper, more furious.“If you don’t open this door in three seconds, I swear I’ll—”Javier rubbed his temple.Wonderful.His headache had just gotten worse.Javier sighed, rolling his shoulders as he glanced toward the door. The pounding continued, followed by Valeria’s unmistakable, furious voice.“JAVIER, OPEN THIS DOOR OR I’LL KICK IT DOWN!”Adriana panicked, grabbing onto Javier’s arm. “She can’t see me like this! If she does, she’ll—”Javier arched a brow, his expression completely unbothered. “She’ll what? Expose the truth?”Adriana’s lips parted, but no words came out.Javier exhaled, removing her grip from his arm with ease. His fingers grazed his temple, still feeling the remnants of dizziness. He had no idea how long he had been unconscious, but one thing was certain—this entire situation was orchestrated, and whoever was behin

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
THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING 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

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

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

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

"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

"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

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
