THE BILLIONAIRE THEY NEVER SAW COMING CHAPTER 37
Everyone is silence.The tension in the room was suffocating.Marcellus leaned back in his chair, a smug smirk stretched across his lips as he waited for her to break.To lash out.To crumble under the weight of humiliation.The employees barely hid their whispers. Some of them pitied her. Others were amused.César Fontaine sipped his coffee, unbothered. He hadn’t even glanced at her once since stepping into the room.Valeria Solano was being erased.And yet—She did not shatter.She exhaled slowly and controlled before leaning forward, resting her elbows on the table, and folding her hands together.Her voice, when she spoke, was calm. Deadly.“Marcellus.” She smiled, but there was no warmth.“Do you know what I find interesting about cockroaches?”Marcellus stiffened.His smirk faltered, just a little.She continued.“They think they own the place. Crawling around, pretending they belong, until someone turns on the light.” She tilted her head. “And suddenly? They scatter.”A sharp i

The tension in the conference room lingered like a storm cloud, thick and crackling with unspoken words and unrestrained fury.Valeria Solano walked out with purpose, heels clicking sharply against the marble floor, every step declaring authority.Javier Everhart followed closely, his smirk never faltering.The murmurs behind them were a mixture of shock and awe.No one had expected her to dismantle Marcellus so effortlessly.But the battle was far from over.Just as they reached the elevator, a voice called out, sharp and laced with barely concealed rage.“Valeria.”She halted but did not turn immediately.Instead, she took a measured breath before slowly pivoting to face the man whose ego she had just shattered.Marcellus stood in the hallway, fists clenched, face dark with humiliation.Beside him, César Fontaine looked equally furious, his usual composed expression contorted in disbelief.Valeria arched her brow. "Yes?"Marcellus took a step forward, lowering his voice, though the

The moment Valeria and Javier stepped out of the conference room, the tension they left behind festered like an open wound.The employees remained frozen, eyes darting between Marcellus and César, waiting for the inevitable explosion.Marcellus clenched his fists, his nails biting into his palm."That arrogant bitch," he seethed, his voice low and venomous. "Who does she think she is?"César, still visibly shaken, adjusted his tie with trembling fingers."She’s the president of this company, Marcellus. And she just cut me out of negotiations. Do you realise what that means? Fontaine Industries will lose millions."Marcellus scoffed."You act like she has real power. She only sits in that chair because of her last name. She’s nothing."One of the employees, a young woman in the corner, coughed softly, shifting uncomfortably. Marcellus snapped his gaze to her."Something to say?"She hesitated before responding,"She just humiliated you in front of everyone, sir."The words hung in the

The room buzzed with anticipation, and the air was thick with tension as Valeria smiled practicedly at the reporters.She was composed, exuding confidence, but Marcellus’s smirk never wavered.He had set a trap, and she was about to realise just how deep it went.“Miss Solano,” a reporter began, shoving a microphone in her face. “What do you have to say about the allegations that you engaged in corporate espionage to secure the Fontaine Industries contract?”The question hit like a gunshot.Murmurs rippled through the crowd as cameras flashed.Valeria’s smile didn’t falter, but a flicker of uncertainty crossed her gaze.“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she responded smoothly. “Fontaine Industries made a strategic decision based on value, not deceit.”Another reporter stepped forward. “Then how do you explain these?”He held up a tablet, displaying confidential Fontaine documents—ones that had allegedly been leaked from Valeria’s office.Her signature was forged at the botto

Javier leaned against the balcony railing, his posture effortlessly relaxed despite the whirlwind they had just escaped.The city lights stretched below them, casting a golden glow that softened the tension lingering in Valeria’s features.However, she was far from relaxed.Her arms were crossed, and her sharp eyes scanned his face as if she could dissect him and piece together the mystery he had become.“You still haven’t answered me,” she murmured. “How did you know about the breach?”Javier exhaled slowly, tilting his head. “Valeria, do you really think I’d let you walk into a room full of wolves without knowing what awaited you?”Her lips parted slightly, caught between surprise and something else—something softer.But before she could respond, a mocking voice interrupted them.“How touching,” Marcellus sneered, stepping onto the balcony.His smile was sharp, but his eyes were dark with barely concealed rage.“The parasite playing knight in shining armour.”Javier turned his head

"Dad, I think we have to do something about Valeria and Javier. Especially Javier," Marcellus said.His voice was laced with frustration. He paced in front of Hudson Solano’s massive mahogany desk, his jaw tightening with every step."Ever since Javier appeared, somehow everything has fallen apart, and everything seems to be in their favour. He's like a monster."Hudson, seated in his leather chair, exhaled sharply and pinched the bridge of his nose."Javier is not the monster here, Marcellus," he corrected, his tone clipped. "We are. And we’re going to destroy him."Marcellus’s eyes darkened with satisfaction.He stopped pacing, leaning forward with his palms flat on the desk."I like the sound of that. So? What’s the plan?"Hudson smirked, leaning back in his chair."Simple. We make Valeria hate him."Marcellus arched an eyebrow."And how exactly do we do that? Javier barely reacts to anything. He’s like a damn stone statue with a pulse."Hudson chuckled. "Ah, but even statues crac

Javier checks his phone and sees an incoming message from Valeria.From: Valeria"Javier, can you buy me food at La Esquina Del Sabor and we can have lunch together?"Javier sighs, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.Typical Valeria—never one for unnecessary pleasantries. He replies with a short, efficient text.To: Valeria"Sure. Be there soon."Sliding his phone back into his pocket, Javier heads toward La Esquina Del Sabor, a well-known restaurant famous for its grilled meats and freshly made tortillas.Upon arriving, he steps inside, the aroma of sizzling beef and rich spices filling the air.He approaches the counter where a young staff member, Lucas, greets him."Señor Everhart! Back again? You must really like our food. Or..." Lucas smirks knowingly. "You must really like whoever you're ordering for."Javier raises a brow. "Just taking care of someone who has expensive taste and no patience."Lucas chuckles. "Ah, must be Miss Solano then. What can I get for her today?""The usual

Javier gives a slight nod. "Are you okay if I leave now?"Adriana hesitates before nodding. "Yes, I think so."They exit the restaurant together, Javier holding the takeout bag in one hand and his coffee in the other. The cool air outside greets them, but something else makes them freeze in place.Adriana’s body stiffens. Her grip tightens on the strap of her purse, and her gaze darts toward a man standing a few meters away. He looks furious.Javier sighs. This again. He studies the man’s face—sharp features, narrowed eyes, and a tense jaw line. The way the man’s stare locks onto Adriana makes one thing clear: he isn’t just some random passerby. Either he believes Javier and Adriana are truly together, or he knows they’re pretending.Adriana inches closer to Javier. "What should we do? He’s still there."Javier raises an eyebrow, sipping his coffee like this is just another Tuesday. "Are you sure you don’t know him? Ex-boyfriend? Secret admirer? Loan shark?"Adriana shakes her head so

The night was thick with silence, but Javier Everhart stood tall in the aftermath of chaos, his coat lightly torn and blood trickling down the corner of his mouth. Around him, the wreckage of the battle still smoked—cracked stone, scorched pillars, and the lingering scent of alchemical combustion. Hudson lay on the floor, curled and trembling, his pride stripped away. The mysterious robed figure had vanished, but not before seeding a new storm.Javier’s golden eyes stared into the darkness, reading the invisible runes the enemy left behind. A spell. A message. A warning."This mark... it's from the Eldritch Convergence," Javier murmured to himself. His voice, though calm, carried the weight of certainty. The Convergence was an ancient cult of alchemists long thought extinct, said to have merged alchemy with forbidden arcane rituals. If they were returning now, it meant the world would soon face something it was never prepared to endure.And they had come for him.Before he could dive
CHAPTER 116
The atmosphere in the room grew thick with anticipation, a suffocating pressure bearing down on everyone present. Javier, though outwardly calm, felt the shift—an unfamiliar and ominous presence that crept beneath the very foundation of the space. It was as if the world itself were holding its breath, waiting for something to snap.Hudson, still clutched in Javier's grasp, struggled to gather his breath. His once-proud demeanor was now crumbling, a shadow of the man he had been moments ago. Yet, the glint in his eyes told a different story. Something deep within him had ignited—something ancient and terrible.Javier’s grip tightened, but his focus shifted. His senses sharpened, and a cold shiver crawled down his spine. This was no ordinary threat. The air was laced with an unnatural energy, the kind that Javier had only encountered in the most
CHAPTER 115
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
CHAPTER 113
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
CHAPTER 112
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
