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

    "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.

    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

    "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.

"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.
