"I have to go home soon, Blaire will be waiting for me. I have to tell Blaire about this no matter what;" Javier said, he was about to walk home because he didn't have the money to take a taxi.
"It's not that far anyway, I can walk." However, his cell phone rang again and someone called him again. Javier had to check it again and thought that the strange number was calling him again.
"Oh, it's not that strange number..." His sister-in-law's name appeared on his phone screen, Blaire's older sister Bella. Javier was a little confused because Blaire's family never contacted him. He kind of hoped that they would bring good news when they called him.
"Did mom tell Bella and this time she's going to give me a job?" Javier wondered with excitement. He quickly picked up the phone for fear that his sister-in-law would be waiting a long time.
"Hello, how are you, Bella? I'm surprised that you called me!" Javier said as he picked up the phone.
"Did mom tell you I was coming?" Javier asked again. There was a sigh from Bella, as she seemed reluctant to respond to Javier's words.
"Yes, she told me that you came and bothered her. He also said that you begged him for more work, like a beggar." Bella insulted him and laughed, while Javier, who was hoping for something good and smiling, slowly realized that his brother-in-law didn't call him to help him.
"Aren't you embarrassed to keep asking my family for help?" Bella asked. Javier took a deep breath, again he had to hold back his anger for his wife's sake.
"This is Blaire's request and I'm doing this because she's pregnant..."
"I know that, what a fool my sister is. She got married and is now pregnant by a man like you, living together is hard like that, how can you have a child?" Bella's words are true, Javier has not been able to make a comfortable life for himself and Blaire, and now he will have a child.
"Of course I'll keep trying, Blaire's pregnancy is a beautiful gift for both of us so I'll do everything I can to give our child the best." Again, Bella laughed as if Javier's words were nonsense.
"Don't get your hopes up! No matter how hard you try, you'll still be a poor man, that's just bad luck, Javier."
"You'll never get a job anywhere..." Javier furrowed his brow in confusion, he felt that Bella's words were not true. He could definitely get a job.
"That's wrong! I'll get a job." Javier argued.
"You’re so stupid, why do you think you can't get a job until now?" Bella asked. Javier thinks that he hasn't gotten a job yet because he hasn't worked hard enough and there isn't a company that feels like a good fit for Javier.
"You'll never get a job in this town because mom told all the companies in this town to refuse to hire you," Bella explained.
"N-no way she would do that..." Javier tried to refute his sister-in-law's words and chose not to believe her.
Of course Javier was shocked to hear that, he couldn't believe that his mother-in-law hated him so much that she would do such an evil thing to him.
"She really wants you to divorce Blaire, so if you want your life to be easier, leave Blaire and let her live happily with someone else."
"Because you don't deserve Blaire." Javier's chest tightened at Bella's words, he didn't deserve Blaire but he was always trying to be worthy of his wife, he would keep trying for Blaire because only Blaire could make him happy.
"But is Blaire happy with me? Would she be happier with another man?" Javier wondered to himself, because of Bella's words, he began to doubt.
"Javier," Bella asked as Javier didn't reply to her earlier:
"Yes." Javier replied briefly.
"I'm warning you once again to leave Blaire right now! As for the pregnancy, we'll take care of that. If you haven't divorced her by tomorrow, you and your child will not be welcome in our family. We will also disown your child and make your lives miserable forever. Remember that!" Bella threatened him.
"You've suffered enough and now you're going to make your child suffer too? Think this through."
After saying that, Bella hung up the phone. Javier was pensive again as he stood with his cell phone in his hand.
"Leaving Blaire so soon? I can't do it," Javier muttered. He loved Blaire and his unborn child very much, but if he didn't leave Blaire and divorce her, their lives would be very difficult and they would never be happy.
In the midst of his confusion, a Lincoln limousine suddenly stopped a few meters in front of Javier. Javier didn't pay attention to it at first and thought it was just a coincidental stop, until two men got out of it and walked towards him.
"Who are they? Why do they seem to be walking towards me?" Javier looked around and didn't see anyone else.
"Are they bad people? But what do they want from me? I'm even dressed like this." Before he could think anymore, a black bag was placed over his head and the two men dragged him away.
"Who are you two? Why are you taking me? Let me go!" screamed Javier in fear as he tried to free himself. Though his body was muscular and he was strong enough, the two men were so big that Javier couldn't move and ended up getting into the car.
"Let go of me damn it! I don't have anything to steal, you guys have nothing to gain by kidnapping me!" Javier was still shouting, thinking that he was kidnapped by the two men.
"How is this? I can't escape, I can't even see anything." Javier began to worry, thinking about Blaire who was probably waiting for him at home.
"Why is my life like this? I can't find a job, I'm hated by my wife's family, and now I've been kidnapped? Would it be better if I died?" Javier muttered, he was starting to feel that he was very unlucky. He was the bearer of bad luck for everyone.
"But I have to survive for Blaire and my son..."
"Let me go, please let me go!" Javier shouted again and just then the car stopped somewhere.
"Am I being released now?" Javier furrowed his brow in confusion but suddenly his body was pulled violently out of the car. He was still trying to break free but the two men were too strong.
He walked for a while until he was placed on a stand. Javier couldn't see but he knew he was being stared at by the people around him.
"Why are they silent now? And where am I?" Javier's question was answered when the bag from his head was opened and he could see around him, he was in a luxurious house with several men in black standing around him.
But his gaze was immediately drawn to an old man walking towards him with an unhappy expression, he looked angry.
"Who is that old man? Did he tell them to kidnap me?" But the old man didn't seem angry with him, he stared at the man in black behind Javier.
"Who let you treat our young master like this!" he shouted angrily making everyone look down in fear.
"I told you not to take him roughly!" the old man shouted again, Javier continued to stare at him in confusion."They all bowed to him, those scary men didn't even dare to look at the old man or reply to him.""Who exactly is this old man?" Javier wondered again. He was the only one looking at the old man."And why did he scold them?" Javier found it strange that he was the one kidnapped but the old man didn't do anything bad to him, instead he scolded the man who brought him here."You told them to bring me here?" Javier finally got the courage to ask and the old man finally looked at him. At first Javier was afraid that the man would scold him too or do something bad, but the man smiled when he heard Javier's question.The old man sat in front of Javier in a very polite manner as if Javier was someone he respected."What's with this old man? Strange man," Javier muttered."That's right, sir. I told them to bring you here, but I should have told them to be polite and nice to you," th
"But why am I the last surviving heir of the Linford family?" Javier asked."Because no one else can be the heir of your family, Mr. Joshua and Mrs. Carol passed away long ago and you are their only heir. Don't you want to take what is already yours, sir?" Javier was silent for a while, if he was indeed the last heir of the Linford family, that meant he had to take back what was his."Of course I have to take it back," Javier replied."So you're going to do it?" With a slight hesitation, Javier nodded his head. This was his chance to make Blaire and his son happy, then take what was already his. "That's great, sir! I'm glad that you're finally back and willing to take it back. I've prepared everything for you, so you just have to worry about nothing else," Adam said, Javier could only nod and this time he listened to what Adam was saying seriously."I'm going to introduce you as the young Mr. Linford and you're going to be the man in charge of this town after all these years of the
"Oh you're home?" Blaire just realized that Javier was standing in front of his room, Javier immediately entered the room and approached Blaire."Mom, I have to go. See you later!" Blaire quickly hung up the phone and Javier sat down next to Blaire. Javier took his wife's hand and held it tightly, he smiled and kissed her cheek briefly."When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?" His expression looked worried, Blaire was probably afraid that Javier would be hurt by what his mother had said."I heard you on the phone with your mom earlier, Blaire," Javier said."Ah you don't have to listen to mom! I'm sorry I couldn't get her to stop saying bad things about you." Blaire looked guilty, even though it was her mom's fault."No, honey. It's not your fault. Your mom is right, but I'm not going to let you go or divorce you." Javier smiled as he gently stroked Blaire's cheek, Blaire smiled too, they both loved each other so much but the Watsons always tried to keep them apart."And about y
The day of the declaration arrived, Blaire was nervous and fearful of the outcome of her bid. Javier noticed this, he walked over to his wife and took her hand. Javier smiled at his wife, trying to calm her down."I know you must be nervous and afraid that this plan won't work out, but don't worry, Blaire," Javier said to Blaire, but Blaire still looked nervous."Of course I'm scared, I don't want to be separated from you, Jav! What if....""Blaire, do you trust me?" Blaire nodded his head, he trusted Javier but he couldn't get rid of his fear."Then don't be afraid, I won't leave you. I'll take care of all this, so you just need to shut up and trust me, do you understand?" Sighing, Blaire nodded her head again."Yes, I understand and I will trust you with everything," she replied."Now let's get everything ready, your family will be here any minute." Blaire went to the kitchen to make a meal for her family while they were at her house.Soon, the doorbell rang, the Watsons had arrived
Her mother and sister-in-law had left an hour later, and Javier, who had just dropped them off at the front of the house, had been detained by Blaire. The expression on his wife's face had been worried since their conversation."What's wrong, Blaire? What are you thinking?" Javier asked. Blaire lifted his head and looked at Javier."Why are you so sure of what you're saying? Aren't you afraid of losing me, Jav?" Javier smiled and realized his wife's anxiety."Of course I don't want to lose you...""Then why did you dare to make that bet with my family? You even agreed to let me marry Mr. Albert," Blaire cut him off, seeing that he was really scared that it would happen."Blaire, I did all of this for you. You just have to trust me and see what happens." This was the second time Javier had to calm Blaire down like this and he could only continue to make Blaire believe him about his plan."Okay..." Blaire sighed and nodded his head. Javier looked at the clock on his hand, and he had som
Jay left Javier's room after receiving orders, he went down to the lobby and saw that Albert was still waiting with an annoyed look on his face. Albert immediately got up from his seat when he saw Jay's arrival."What took you so long? I've been waiting for this!" he shouted angrily as he kept waiting for almost half an hour to meet Jay."I'm sorry, sir. Our new CEO just arrived earlier so I had to meet him first." Jay's words made Albert furrow his brow in confusion."If he just arrived, that means he came at the same time as me. But I didn't see him..." he muttered to himself, he only met Javier earlier and he never thought that Javier was the new CEO of the company."Then let me meet your new CEO, I'll talk about the offer. Hurry up and take me to his office!" She asked haughtily but Jay didn't follow her request."I'm sorry, but about the offer we've already discussed it with the other bosses and it's confidential," Jay replied and Albert just chuckled."I will make you a big prof
"Wait a minute, that must be a misunderstanding..." Albert continued to deny the latest news even though he knew what was really going on. However, he still didn't want to lose the Watsons' trust in him."What's the misunderstanding? It was announced directly by a representative of the Ford Group!" shouted Anne, the middle-aged woman looking absolutely furious."Mom, calm down." Blaire who saw it all tried to calm things down, she approached her mother but her mother immediately brushed Blaire's hand away."Why is it that none of my plans ever work out? Blaire, you've made my life complicated and now you." Anne gave Albert a contemptuous look, very different from the look she usually gave Albert. It made Albert upset, he didn't like being treated this low by Anne."I'm doing everything I can but I'm working with a loser like you," Anne insinuated Albert again."Loser? Hey, watch your mouth! If I hadn't helped you all this time, you wouldn't have gotten anything." Irritated, Albert sho
Javier was still in his room which looked very large and luxurious, he continued to look around in awe. Javier never thought that he could have a room like this all to himself. It seemed impossible for someone like him, and now he could be the new CEO of the biggest company in his country."If Blaire knew this, she would be very happy. Blaire also doesn't have to worry about my work now, she just needs to focus on her pregnancy," Javier said to himself with a smile that had been widening ever since."And her family won't be able to insult me anymore, but... I can't tell them now. I have to keep it a secret for a while." Javier nodded his head, agreeing with her thoughts."If the Watsons knew, they certainly wouldn't believe it or they would take advantage of this. After all the bad things they've done to me and Blaire, I don't want to be used by them," Javier said again."And I won't let anyone separate me from Blaire." That was Javier's goal, he didn't want to be separated from Blair
"Yes, she's still here. But you can't see her," Anne said, surprising Javier. Of course, he was immediately angry because his mother-in-law suddenly wouldn't let him meet his own wife. Although Blaire was her daughter, they had no right to forbid Blaire and Javier from meeting."What do you mean, mom? Why can't I see her?" asked Javier, not understanding and Anne casually shrugged her shoulders as she continued to look at Javier sarcastically."You should realize the reason why I won't let you meet Blaire. I knew from the beginning that I shouldn't have allowed you two to get married, you're a sneaky guy who only took advantage of Blaire coming from a rich family and now that Blaire is willing to live in poverty with you, you're looking for another woman from another rich family, right?" Javier couldn't understand what Anne was talking about. He didn't think he had made a mistake and now suddenly Anne was saying something about Javier looking for another rich family woman."Wait... I
Later that night, Javier went to the airport after getting ready at the hotel. His flight time was at 10pm and he would arrive at 12pm in his city. Of course he did all this for Blaire's sake, he knew that something had happened to his wife because until now Blaire hadn't returned his messages and that made Javier even more worried."Sir, do I need to send someone to go to the Watsons' house and check on her?" Jay asked when they had just taken their seats on the plane. It was because Javier looked very worried and Jay felt that he had to calm his boss down."No, there's no need," Javier replied with a sigh. He couldn't possibly agree to what Jay had said earlier because it would be very risky. The Watsons would be suspicious of him and there was no way he would have anyone come check on Blaire in the middle of the night like this.Jay finally just nodded his head and sat on the chair next to Javier. "When I arrive, I'll go straight to the Watsons' house. Is it okay if I take your car
"The food at this restaurant is really good! Maybe that's why my dad asked you to have a meeting here," Chloe said as she cut into her steak and ate it with gusto. She intended to catch Javier's attention and talk to him after their meeting was over, she was so happy that she could finally have dinner alone with Javier. But, unfortunately Javier didn't seem to care. He was just busy with his food and seemed to be daydreaming."Did you like the food too, sir?" asked Chloe, suddenly realizing that Javier wasn't answering her at all. She looked up and saw that he was just daydreaming. The happy expression on her face instantly changed, she rolled her eyes in annoyance that Javier wasn't paying attention to her at all."He must be thinking about his pathetic wife, why would he call her at a time like this?" Chloe grumbled. Even though this is her chance to get close to Javier, Javier's wife makes Javier's mood bad and Chloe's plan must fail."Sir," Chloe called again until Javier finally
"Blaire, it's me. I'm sorry that my cell phone died, are you okay?" Javier asked as he picked up the phone from Blaire. On the other end of the line, Blaire froze when she heard Javier's voice. She suddenly felt guilty for making Javier talk to her when he was busy at work."Blaire," Javier called again because Blaire didn't answer his question. "Are you there? I know you're not okay that's why you called Mr. Jay, right?""Don't lie to me, something must have happened to you, right? I'm going home now then." Javier intended to end his meeting with Chloe and look for a flight right now."No, don't just leave your job, Jav. I-I'm totally fine," Blaire replied immediately in reply to Javier's words because she was afraid that Javier was really going home just because something happened to Blaire.Javier sighed, he knew that Blaire was lying just because he didn't want Javier to go home early and leave his job. "Blaire, don't lie.""I'm not lying, I just wanted to tell you that I'm kind o
Blaire grabbed her cell phone and called Javier about what happened between him and the woman in the photo. However, it turned out that his cell phone was off. Javier seemed to be so busy that Blaire couldn't reach him. She was getting sad and crying, she was very angry with Javier but she was afraid that her anger was just a misunderstanding. Blaire kept trying to call Javier but his cell phone remained inactive.Frustrated, Blaire looked for Jay's number and was forced to call him even though she felt reluctant. Because only Jay could help her talk to Javier.On the other hand, Javier is still talking to Chloe. Although he doesn't like her, Chloe is doing a great job. And Jay, who was standing in the corner of the room, suddenly felt that the cell phone in his pants pocket was vibrating. Jay quickly picked it up and frowned when he saw an unfamiliar number."Who is this? I don't think I've given my number to anyone lately," Jay muttered to himself. The number was quite confidential
"What's wrong, Mr. Andrew?" Now Bella also got up from her seat and walked over to Andrew who was already sitting next to Blaire who was still confused. Anne and Bella were curious to see what Andrew would show Blaire. And Andrew immediately opened the message Ben had sent and checked the photo. He had sent Ben the money after forcing his father to give him the money and stop blocking his credit card at midnight and finally his father gave in."Look, I got that picture from my friend who went to the Smith's company party!" Andrew said pretending to be shocked in front of Blaire even though he was very happy to see the picture Ben sent him. He thought his plan wouldn't go his way but he was wrong, he actually got what he wanted and his plan went smoothly."Oh my God! That's really Javier. He looks different there," Bella replied gaping in surprise, but she also felt there was something different about Javier's appearance. He didn't look like an ordinary employee."Why would an ordinary
"Hello, Mr. Javier," Chloe greeted him with a big smile that did not make Javier happy to see her at all. Ever since their meeting, Javier had never wanted to see Chloe again, whether by chance or by design. But now he had to go back to see her again."Hello, Miss Chloe. Come sit down." However, even though he didn't like her, Javier still had to greet her in a friendly manner. Because it looked like Chloe was going to replace Chris at this meeting."Have you been waiting for me for long? I'm sorry there was a lot of traffic on the way because it's dinner time," Chloe explained, smiling at Javier and feeling confident because she had dressed up very beautifully before leaving here. She really hopes that Javier will fall in love with her, and Chloe doesn't care about Javier's married status."No, I just came too," Javier replied. Seeing Chloe already walking towards the dining table, Jay immediately pulled out a chair for Chloe and Chloe immediately sat there. Chloe had expected Javier
"Dad, you must be lying! I know you're saying this because you don't want me to get close to her, right?" Chloe tried to be denial and didn't believe her father's words. But when she saw the expression on her father's face, Chris didn't seem to be joking and the look in his eyes also seemed serious."Dad...""I'm serious, Chloe. I've known Mr. Javier since he first started working and he already has a wife," Chris explained again leaving Chloe gaping in shock. She sat down and was still trying to process the shocking news her father had given her."Therefore, stop approaching him. I don't want you to make the relationship between the companies awkward because of this. Do you understand Chloe?" Chris continued but Chloe was still silent and didn't speak at all."I'm going to go to the room now, so you get some rest too," her father told her but again Chloe grabbed her father's arm again and shook her head vigorously."I still want to replace you tomorrow, dad," Chloe said, making Chris
"Chloe hurry up and go back to your friends, they've been waiting for you," her father said again as Javier walked away with Jay behind him."I need to get back to chatting with the other guests too.""Dad, wait!" Chris was just about to walk away but his daughter grabbed his arm and didn't let him go. Chloe had changed her expression and was looking at Chris with an expectant look that Chris knew his daughter wanted. Chris rolled his eyes in annoyance that Chloe had caused him enough trouble tonight."What is it again, Chloe? Can't you just not bother me tonight? You already bothered Mr. Javier and embarrassed me," her father complained but Chloe pouted and put on a resentful expression because her father didn't want to listen to her request first. "Dad! I haven't even said what I want yet, but you're already scolding me!" Chloe exclaimed in annoyance."Then tell me later, I have to go now." Chris released Chloe's grip on his hand with some force."Dad!" called Chloe again she trie
