2025-04-18 13:16:12The vows were spoken, and the crowd erupted into applause as Javier Everhart kissed his bride. It wasn’t just a wedding. It was a coronation.
Valeria held his hand tightly as they descended the marble steps of the cathedral. Every major figure from politics, finance, and industry was there. Some came to show respect. Others came to witness whether Javier would fall.
He didn’t.
Instead, his presence loomed over them all—imposing, calm, untouchable.
But as the couple stepped into the black limousine, Valeria leaned close and whispered, “The Syndicate won’t stop with one threat.”
“I know,” Javier said, his tone unreadable. “They’ve declared war.”
“And you’ll declare what?”

Valeria stood in stunned silence, the document still clutched in her hand. Her mind raced through memories of her uncle—charismatic, influential, always two steps ahead in the political and corporate arenas. She’d idolized him once, even trusted him to help manage the Everhart acquisitions. The realization that he was part of the Ouroboros Circle left a bitter taste in her mouth.“You’re sure?” she asked finally, her voice a whisper.Javier didn’t look at her. “He authorized the wire transfers to Crosswell Ventures three days before your father died. The timing wasn’t a coincidence. He knew what was coming. He helped set it in motion.”Valeria turned her gaze to Javier.

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.

CHAPTER 91
A week passed, and the silence surrounding Everhart Tower was not peace—it was anticipation. The media didn’t know what to report, competitors were too stunned to make a move, and within the boardroom, the remaining directors operated with a newfound fear-fueled respect. Javier Everhart had reasserted his dominance—not by shouting or begging, but through decisive force and unshakable calm.Still, Javier wasn’t satisfied.Because someone had bought the leaked BioSync data.And they hadn’t just bought it—they’d begun using it.“Atlas Dynamics,” Valeria said, laying a file on his desk. “Private tech firm. New player. Nobody took them seriously until last quarter. Now, they’re mirroring your patents, beating us to prototype.”Javier read in silence. The CEO of Atlas was a name he didn’t recognize. Jonathan Cross. American. Thirty-two. Built his empire fast—too fast.“Where did he get the capital?” Javier asked.Valeria replied, “He didn’t. A shell company funneled investments into Atlas l

“You should’ve handled this before it reached my desk.”Javier’s voice sliced through the tension in the Everhart corporate boardroom like a blade through silk. He didn’t raise his voice, didn’t shift in his seat, didn’t even look up from the document in front of him. Yet, the twelve directors seated around the obsidian table felt the temperature in the room drop by several degrees.One of them, a gray-haired executive named Dalton Vexley, cleared his throat. “With all due respect, Chairman Everhart, the acquisition of Helix BioCorp was executed according to protocol—”“No,” Javier cut in. “It was executed according to arrogance.”The room fell silent.Helix BioCorp was a mid-tier biotech company. Profitable. Ambitious. But behind its pristine façade was a web of corruption, falsified data, and undisclosed debts. The acquisition should have never passed Javier’s radar. But it had. Because someone wanted it to.He slowly lifted his gaze. “Who gave final sign-off?”No one answered.Javi
CHAPTER 89
Thunder cracked above the city of Solano just as the moon began to rise, casting an ethereal glow upon the palace's silver towers. The wedding had ended hours ago, but the aftershocks of Javier Everhart's declaration still rippled through the court.Inside the royal chambers, Valeria removed her veil, her fingers shaking slightly despite her regal bearing. Her eyes remained on the window where Javier stood, his silhouette motionless, framed by lightning in the distance."You didn’t have to humiliate her," Valeria said quietly.Javier didn’t turn. "She needed to be reminded where she stands."“She’s my blood.”“She wanted to see me destroyed on our wedding day.” His voice was calm, but cold enough to silence any further defens
CHAPTER 88
The quiet between them was broken only by the crackling of the hearth. Outside, the city of Solano celebrated its deliverance, but inside the tower, the weight of prophecy and power still loomed between Valeria and Javier.A soft knock echoed from the chamber doors.Javier didn’t speak, but his glance was enough.The doors creaked open and Serina, Valeria’s cousin, entered. Her expression was tight, composed—but her eyes betrayed something deeper: apprehension, and something else Javier instantly recognized.Jealousy.“Forgive the interruption,” she said coolly, her gaze sliding toward Javier, “but I thought it necessary to offer my... congratulations.”
