THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 61
"You’re lying."Marcellus’s voice cracked, barely above a whisper, as his gaze remained fixed on the screen. The room, once filled with arrogant posturing and threats, was now eerily silent. The weight of Javier’s laughter still lingered in the air, heavy and cold.Javier stood still, eyes calm, arms folded behind his back. His voice broke the silence, slow and deliberate. "I told you. You were too focused on me… you didn’t see the moves behind the curtain."Hudson took a step forward, grabbing the phone from Marcellus again. His face turned pale as he scrolled, reading the headlines aloud. "Everhart Industries secures exclusive rights to the HorizonTech merger… HorizonTech pulls out of Solano Group’s contract…"His voice died in his throat.Eleanor folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like your 'leverage' just evaporated."Marcellus looked between the three of them—Javier, Eleanor, and Dante—each wearing a version of calm, subtle amusement, and ice-cold control."You hack

“She doesn’t have time for your games.”Javier’s words echoed through the corridor as he pushed the heavy doors open, his strides long and deliberate. Every step radiated lethal focus, his usually calm demeanor replaced with something far more dangerous—resolve laced with fury.Behind him, the room remained frozen. Marcellus, for once, had no snide remark. Hudson watched his son with narrowed eyes, already regretting letting this spiral beyond control. Eleanor exchanged a look with Dante—one of knowing fear. They had seen this side of Javier once before, years ago… when someone had tried to cross a line. That man was still paying the price.“Where the hell is Valeria?” Javier muttered to himself as he entered the elevator. His jaw clenched tight.Eleanor appeared beside him just as the doors closed. “We’ll find her. But you need to prepare for what comes next.”He turned his head slowly. “Do you think I’m not prepared?”“No,” she said softly. “I think you’re too quiet. And when you’re

"They're alive," he whispered into the receiver.“Then it’s time. Bring in Phase Two.”The sun had not yet risen when Javier and Valeria returned to the Solano estate. Armed guards flanked the gates, and a convoy of black SUVs trailed behind them. Valeria’s head rested against the car seat, her eyes closed but her mind racing.“Are you in pain?” Javier asked, his voice softer now.“Only when I think about how many people we trusted are snakes,” she murmured without opening her eyes.Javier’s jaw clenched, but he said nothing.Inside the estate, Eleanor and Dante were already waiting. The second they saw Valeria, Eleanor stepped forward and embraced her. “Thank God.”Valeria hugged her back. “They’re going to keep coming.”“We know,” Eleanor said grimly. “And we’re ready.”But none of them were ready for what came next.At exactly 6:00 a.m., every screen in the Solano headquarters went black.Seconds later, a red logo pulsed across each monitor—an unfamiliar symbol: a snake with a dagg

“Who was supposed to be dead?” Valeria’s voice cut through the heavy silence, sharp and demanding.Javier’s jaw tightened. His hands clenched the envelope until the edges crumpled. The papers inside detailed accounts, secure transactions, operations—things no one outside the old network should’ve known. And at the top, a single name burned through his mind like acid.“Cassian Vorta,” Javier whispered at last. “The Ghost.”Valeria’s brows drew together. “I’ve never heard that name before.”“You wouldn’t have,” Lyra replied, her expression unreadable. “Most people who did… didn’t live long enough to speak it again.”Javier stepped away from the desk, pacing slowly. “He was one of the original architects of the Black Echo. The intelligence syndicate before it fractured. Cassian was the mind behind the corruption files. The puppet master.”“I thought you dismantled all of them,” Valeria said, turning to Javier.“I did.” His voice was grave. “Or I thought I did. Cassian was killed during t

Javier’s heart dropped.“Who?” he asked sharply, voice laced with tension.Darien didn’t answer immediately. His jaw clenched, his gaze flicked toward the horizon, where the sky was rapidly darkening into night. Only the low hum of the jet engines filled the silence, as if the world had stopped breathing—waiting.“Darien,” Javier barked.Finally, Darien turned back. “Your sister. Camila.”Valeria’s eyes widened. “What? She’s been in hiding since the Montreal incident. No one’s known her location for over a year.”Darien gave a hollow laugh. “You really think Cassian didn’t know? He let her stay hidden long enough for Javier to feel safe again. That’s how he works—he waits, then strikes when you’ve let your guard down.”Javier’s hands curled into fists. “How long has she been missing?”“Two days,” Darien said quietly. “He’s holding her in Zurich. Using her as leverage.”Valeria took a step forward. “Then this changes everything. We’re not just going in to stop Cassian. We’re going to b

“Do you see now, Javier?” Cassian’s voice echoed again, robotic through hidden speakers. “You were never free. Every step you took was mine to control. And now… so is he.”Javier stood frozen. His pulse thundered in his ears. Valeria was silent beside him, her face pale in the flickering red light. The child’s image haunted the darkness like a ghost—his features undeniably familiar. Sharp jawline. Cold eyes. And that look—detached, calculated.Javier’s look.“No,” Javier muttered, fists clenching at his sides. “This… this isn’t possible.”Darien’s voice crackled again over comms, broken by interference. “He’s telling the truth, Javier. I didn’t want to believe it either… but the data matches. Cassian spliced your DNA with an enhanced synthetic embryo he’s been working on for years. He accelerated the aging process. That child’s not older than ten, but mentally, he’s twenty-five.”“Why?” Valeria demanded, her voice sharp. “Why go to such extremes?”“To replace me,” Javier said darkly.

“Take them in.”Elias Vega’s voice rang with authority. Cold. Precise. Final.The agents raised their rifles. Red laser dots danced across Javier’s chest.But Javier didn’t flinch.He didn’t move, didn’t blink. His eyes — calm as ever — locked onto Elias like a storm waiting in stillness.Valeria instinctively stepped toward him. “He’s not your enemy. Cassian is. You’re making a mistake—”“I don’t make mistakes, Ms. Solano,” Elias cut her off. “You may be the President of Solano, but this man—” he nodded at Javier, “—isn’t just some ex-operative. He’s something else. Something that doesn’t belong in this world.”A smirk tugged at the corner of Javier’s lips. “You're right. I don’t belong in your world.”Elias narrowed his eyes. “What did you say?”But Javier wasn’t talking to him anymore. He raised a hand, slowly, and brushed his thumb against the ring on his middle finger — a simple black band with an old crest carved into its surface. One word in ancient Latin glimmered briefly unde

“Why are they watching us like that?” Valeria asked quietly, her eyes scanning the high walls of the Everhart estate where guards, dignitaries, and high-born guests milled about. Some whispered behind their fans. Others simply stared — not with admiration, but uncertainty. Fear.“They’re not watching us,” Javier replied calmly as he adjusted the cuff of his obsidian-black suit. “They’re watching me.”Valeria turned to face him. “Because they’re afraid of you?”Javier didn’t smile. “They should be.”The sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the grand garden of the Everhart estate. The final preparations for the wedding were in motion — silk drapes fluttering in the breeze, golden lanterns floating mid-air with alchemical ease, and servants running back and forth carrying rare wines and spell-imbued roses that bloomed upon touch.It was to be the wedding of the century. The uniting of two great legacies: Valeria Solano — the reigning president of the most powerful economic

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
