Valeria was slightly surprised.

But she tried to stay calm and assumed there must be a reason for Javier's method to open her dress.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

The doctor standing beside the bed nearly dropped his instruments after hearing Javier’s request.

“Ms. Solano, we must expel him at once! He's too rude. Why is he asking to take off your dress?”

"I have no bad intentions. Just helping with the methods I know."

Javier defended himself.

“Your methods are absurd. It was a big insult!”

He pointed at Javier's face, his eyes burning with anger.

"Calm down, doctor." Valeria raised an eyebrow, gazing at him with a faint smile. "I trust him."

"What?!" The doctor almost choked on his own breath. "Miss, you’re seriously—"

"Leave."

Valeria cut him off lazily, waving toward the door casually.

"All of you, get out."

The doctor and the guards exchanged glances before eventually exiting the room, though their faces clearly showed disapproval.

Once the door closed, an eerie silence filled the space, broken only by the soft sound of Valeria’s breathing.

"I hope you know what you’re doing."

Valeria murmured, taking a deep breath before slipping off her outer coat, revealing a thin nightgown underneath.

She then lay down on the bed, watching Javier with a mixture of curiosity and caution.

"If you try anything, I’ll make sure you don’t leave this room alive."

"You can trust me, Miss."

Javier averted his gaze briefly before finally sitting at the edge of the bed, placing his hand over her chest.

Outwardly, he appeared calm, but deep inside, he felt a hint of nervousness.

Valeria has a beautiful body with porcelain-white skin.

Like a perfect sculpture.

“Take a deep breath and try to stay calm, it’s just for a cure.”

Despite saying this, Javier felt his 

Every inch of her body was crystal clear to Javier’s eyes. It had been a long time since he had seen a woman’s body up close like this, and a surge of heat instantly rushed through him.

Watching her writhing body, Javier felt utterly tormented, struggling to keep himself under control.

To treat her heart, Javier placed his hand on her chest. The smooth, silky sensation beneath his palm sent a tremor through his entire body.

"Ah!"

Valeria let out a soft moan, a blush creeping across her face as she gently closed her eyes.

Javier felt his throat tighten. Swallowing hard, he began to massage Valeria’s chest with delicate movements. He quickly noticed an abnormality near her heart and started channeling the energy he had just acquired through his touch.

As his fingers moved slightly, Valeria’s body trembled in response. She shyly wondered if Javier’s so-called treatment was merely an excuse.

She had never been this close to a man before, and now her fiancé was massaging her to the point of near ecstasy.

Suddenly, Javier’s hand left her chest, and an inexplicable sense of disappointment washed over her.

Valeria blinked in surprise.

"Wait… the pain… it’s gone?"

"I’ve stabilized the elements in your body."

Javier exhaled softly, lifting his hand from her chest.

"But you need to maintain your body’s balance. If not, this condition could return."

"You…"

Valeria stared at him in disbelief, then let out a chuckle.

"I can’t believe it—you did it. Are you some kind of guardian angel, or just a man who’s too modest?"

"I’m just someone who does what he can," Javier replied with a slight shrug.

"Is that so?"

Valeria eyed him intently, her gaze shimmering with intrigue.

"Then, I must reward you. What do you want?"

"There’s no need."

Javier shook his head lightly.

"I only hope we can be friends. That’s enough for me."

For a moment, Valeria was silent, and then she gave him a small smile.

“You are truly a kind man. It is very rare to meet a man like you."

Javier's sincerity and rejection of greed made Valeria admire and like him even more. She thought it was a good thing that Javier was her fiancé.

"You praise me too much, Miss. I only did what I was supposed to do."

Javier gave a small smile and bowed slightly towards Valeria as a sign of respect.

Valeria didn’t know what had caused him to forget their engagement—or, from the looks of it, even her identity.

Still, she had finally found Javier. And not only that, but he had also cured the illness that had plagued her for so many years.

She decided to tell him who she was and remind him of their engagement.

However, before she could say more, Javier’s phone suddenly rang.

Javier glanced at the screen, and his expression immediately darkened.

The name displayed was one he didn’t want to see.

Camila Valverde.

His hand clenched into a fist without him realizing it.

    The air snapped taut as every officer turned toward the source of the voice.A man strode into the station, his presence filling the cramped room like a storm breaking. His tailored suit, sharp and immaculate, gleamed under the harsh fluorescent lights. Behind him, two aides rushed in, phones pressed to their ears, their expressions pale.It was Deputy Mayor Ricardo Velasquez—a man whose name carried weight in every corner of the city.“What the hell are you doing manhandling citizens like criminals?” he thundered, his voice echoing against the concrete walls. His finger stabbed the air at the officers. “Do you even realize who you’ve just thrown into a cell?”The chief of the station stammered, his face draining of color. “D-Deputy Mayor, sir, there must be some misunderstanding. We were just—”“Misunderstanding?” Ricardo snapped, cutting him off. “I heard you mocked him, humiliated him, dragged him in like a dog. Is this how law enforcement operates under my watch?”The officers shi

    The café was crowded, voices buzzing with mid-morning chatter. Javier stood in line, his hands tucked calmly in the pockets of his worn jacket.The cashier glanced at him briefly, then turned her eyes away with a curl of disdain. “Next,” she called sharply, addressing the man behind him instead.“I was here,” Javier said softly, his tone even, but the cashier rolled her eyes.“You can wait,” she snapped. “Customers with actual orders come first.”A low chuckle rippled from a group of young men lounging by the counter. “Look at him,” one muttered, loud enough for the room to hear. “Probably can’t even pay for a sandwich.”Valeria stiffened bes

    “Numbers don’t lie, Javier,” murmured Adrian, the CFO, his eyes narrowing as he slid the quarterly report across the table. His fingers tapped impatiently, the sound sharp in the tense silence of the boardroom.“These drops aren’t natural,” the strategist whispered. Her expression was tight, lips pressed into a thin line.“It’s as if someone anticipated our moves,” Javier said softly. His gaze swept across the boardroom, lingering on each executive in silence.“Competitors don’t usually get this precise,” Valeria commented from her seat beside him. Her eyes carried both concern and suspicion.“The data leak is internal,” Adrian pressed firmly. His stare flicked toward Javier with an edge that was

    Hands went up slowly around the table.

His calm eyes silenced her instantly.Adrian stood taller, chest puffed with victory. “This is the beginning of new leadership.

    The next week, the boardroom chatter shifted noticeably. Adrian moved like a serpent, his voice soft in private corners, his smile rehearsed.One by one, executives began to avoid Javier’s gaze. Their conversations quieted whenever he entered, their loyalty eroding with whispers.Valeria noticed immediately. “He’s poisoning them one at a time,” she muttered under her breath as they left another tense meeting.Javier’s expression remained calm. “The weak always look for a louder voice to follow,” he murmured. “Adrian gives them noise. I will give them silence—and truth.”But the whispers grew sharper. At lunch, two directors spoke within Valeria’s hearing. “The company bleeds while he waits. Maybe Adrian is right.”Valeria’s fists clenched beneath the tablecloth. “Careful,” she warned, her voice low but cutting. “You underestimate the man who built this empire.”The directors shifted uncomfortably, casting uneasy glances. But when they looked at Javier, he was serene, as though he hadn

    Two days later, the board gathered in the marble-lined dining hall for a luncheon. Conversations buzzed with restrained hostility, eyes flicking toward Javier with poorly veiled suspicion.An executive with thinning hair leaned toward his neighbor. “A man without pedigree has no place at the helm,” he whispered just loud enough. His lips curled into a smirk, testing the waters.Valeria’s head snapped toward him instantly. “Say that again,” she demanded, her voice sharp enough to silence the table.The man paled, caught off guard by her sudden challenge. “M-Mrs. Solano, I didn’t—”“You did,” Valeria cut him off, her eyes blazing. “You questioned my husband’s place, and by extension, mine.”Murmurs rippled down the long table. Some executives shifted uncomfortably, others leaned forward with interest.Javier, seated beside her, reached for his glass of water with deliberate calm. His expression betrayed nothing, as if the storm belonged only to Valeria.“Do you think loyalty is measured
