2025-08-27 11:00:44The boutique gleamed with polished marble floors and chandeliers, every corner whispering exclusivity. Mannequins dressed in tailored suits and gowns looked down from their pedestals like silent judges.
Javier Everhart entered quietly, wearing a plain white shirt, dark slacks, and scuffed shoes. His posture was straight, his expression calm, but nothing in his appearance screamed wealth. He walked unhurriedly toward the men’s section, his eyes studying a dark navy suit displayed behind glass.
Almost immediately, whispers started.
“Is he lost?” a young salesman muttered under his breath, smirking at his colleague. “Probably thought this was a department store.”
His colleague laughed, covering it with a cough when Javier glanced their way.

SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 400
The morning air outside was cooler than the stifling tension they had just left behind. The sound of passing cars and the chatter of pedestrians filled the street, but for a moment, it felt like silence stretched only around them.Javier walked with unhurried steps, his hand still lightly clasping Valeria’s. His posture was relaxed, his expression composed, as though nothing had happened inside. To anyone passing by, he was just a quiet man walking beside his wife after a cup of coffee.But Valeria’s chest was tight. She glanced up at him, her brows drawn together, her lips pressed into a thin line. Finally, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.“You let them say all of that to you,” she said softly, her voice trembling with emotion. “They insulted you, mocked you, accused you… and you never once defended yourself.
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 339
Eric’s hands shook with fury. His pride, wounded again and again in front of strangers, demanded one last act of defiance. As Javier and Valeria moved toward the door, Eric pulled out his phone and shouted, “Fine! If none of you will listen, I’ll make sure the police deal with him. We’ll see how calm you are when they drag you out for fraud!”A ripple of unease passed through the café. The woman beside Eric smirked cruelly, clapping her hands together. “Finally. Someone’s putting this con artist in his place.”Valeria stiffened at Javier’s side, but he touched her hand lightly, a signal of reassurance. His face remained unreadable, his calmness almost infuriating in its serenity.Within minutes, the sound of sirens echoed faintly outside. Two uniformed off
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 338
Eric could not sit still. His jaw worked, his eyes darted between Javier and Valeria as though the sight of them together was an offense he couldn’t bear. He stood abruptly, his chair scraping harshly against the floor, drawing stares from several customers.“This is ridiculous!” he shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Javier. “I know his type. Freeloaders. He probably pretends to be some VIP, gets free drinks and special treatment. I bet he hasn’t paid for a single thing here in his life!”A murmur rippled through the café. The barista looked flustered, glancing at the manager, who had just returned to the floor.The woman with Eric crossed her arms, smirking triumphantly. “That explains everything. He’s conning you all. Look at him—do you honestly believe a man dressed like that deserves any respect? He’s just good at manipulating sympathy.”Valeria’s eyes narrowed, but before she could speak, Javier gently placed his hand on hers, a subtle shake of his head keeping her quiet. Hi
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 337
Javier Everhart stood in line at a modest café tucked in the corner of the busy street. The morning rush had just begun; people jostled impatiently, tapping their phones, muttering complaints about the wait. Javier, dressed simply in a plain dark shirt and faded jeans, stood quietly, his posture straight yet unassuming. His eyes calmly observed the menu board above the counter, as though time itself wasn’t pressing against him.“Hey,” a voice broke the buzz of murmurs. A man in an expensive suit, hair slicked back with precision, turned to face him with narrowed eyes. “You planning to move, or just stand there like a statue?”Javier shifted his gaze slowly toward him, his face calm. “The line is moving at its pace,” he said evenly, his tone neither defensive nor irritated.The man scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. “Of course you’d say that. People like you don’t know the value of time. Standing here, probably counting coins to see if you can afford a coffee.” He let out a derisi
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 336
“Valeria…” Damian’s voice dripped like venom as the screen flickered to life, his face cast in shadow. “I told you Javier had weaknesses. And here she is.”Javier’s blood ran cold. Valeria stood behind Damian in the feed, wrists bound, chin raised with the same fiery defiance he had fallen in love with years ago. Even in captivity, she spat in his direction, eyes blazing.“You think you’ve won, Damian?” Her voice, sharp and unwavering, carried through the speakers. “You’ll never break him. You’ll never touch us.”Damian’s chuckle was low, mocking. “Oh, Valeria… I don’t need to break him. I only need to make him come running. Desperation makes even the cleverest men sloppy.”Javier’s fists clenched, nails digging crescents into his palms. Beside him, Marco shifted uneasily, guilt heavy like chains. He had betrayed Javier once under Damian’s pressure, but tonight, he was Javier’s piece on the board—a piece Damian still believed belonged to him.Javier forced his breathing to steady. Thi
