SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 429
“They’ve started digging, Javier,” Valeria said tensely, her voice breaking the morning silence. She laid a stack of clippings on the table, her hands trembling slightly.“Let them dig,” Javier replied evenly, his eyes scanning the bold headlines. “They will find only what I allow them to find.”Valeria frowned, fear and frustration mingling on her face. She had seen whispers before, but this time the whispers were becoming knives.“Investigative teams are calling my friends,” she said in disbelief. “They want details about our wedding, about where you work, about how you pay the bills.”Javier folded the paper neatly, as if it were nothing but a grocery list. “Their hunger is not for truth—it is for spectacle.”Her eyes narrowed, watching him too closely. For every calm answer he gave, her suspicion grew heavier.“They’ll notice, Javier,” she whispered, her throat tight. “No ordinary man has the kind of silence you keep.”He lifted his gaze, expression unshaken. “And no ordinary stor

“The press will not stop unless we give them a story,” Javier said calmly, his eyes steady on Valeria. He placed the folded newspaper on the table as if it meant nothing.“They already have a story, Javier,” Valeria replied bitterly, her fingers trembling on the porcelain cup. She looked pale, carrying the weight of judgment that fell on her shoulders.“We must redirect the narrative, not erase it,” Javier continued with quiet certainty. His voice carried the weight of a man who had navigated storms before.Valeria exhaled sharply, her expression caught between disbelief and hope. She had never seen anyone face scandal with such unshakable calm.“We host an event, something small but public,” Javier suggested smoothly, his gaze never leaving hers. “Something that shows confidence, not retreat.”Her lips parted in hesitation, then closed tightly. She wanted to argue, but her instincts told her to trust him.“People think mystery equals danger,” Javier said, leaning back in his chair. “
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 427
That morning, the city had not yet fully awakened when the headlines of newspapers and the screens of online news portals simultaneously displayed one name that had never before been the subject of public gossip—Javier.His photos were everywhere: some showed him seated in the VIP section at a conference, others caught him walking side by side with Valeria, and there were even snapshots of police officers saluting him. The article titles quickly ignited whispers filled with questions.“Who is the mysterious man at Valeria Kensington’s side?”“A stranger with hidden power?”“Javier: The shadow behind the Kensington empire?&
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 426
Two days later, Valeria forced herself to attend her cousin Camila’s brunch invitation. She needed normalcy—or at least a break from the constant buzzing of her phone. But the moment she stepped into the restaurant, normalcy shattered.Conversations hushed. Heads turned. Dozens of eyes trailed her, some curious, others openly hostile. A group of women at the corner table whispered loudly enough for her to hear.“She’s the wife.”“Poor thing, she probably didn’t know.”“Or maybe she did. You can’t live in a man’s house and not know his dirt.”Valeria clenched her jaw, forcing herself to walk to Camila’s table. But Camila’s expression wasn&rsquo
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 425
The morning sun barely touched the curtains when Valeria’s phone began buzzing nonstop. She groaned, pulling the blanket over her head, but the vibration didn’t stop—it grew worse.Finally, she reached for it. Dozens of messages flooded her screen:“Is it true?”“Valeria, why didn’t you tell us?”“Girl, you need to run. That man’s going to ruin you.”Confusion jolted her fully awake. She switched on the TV, and her heart plummeted. Every channel carried the same breaking story:“Business Titan or Master Fraud? Questions Rise Over Javier Everhart’s Hidden Dealings.”Images of Javier appeared on-screen—some grainy, some taken at summits, others of him beside her. Words like fraud, laundering, deception crawled beneath in glaring red banners.Her stomach twisted. “Oh my God…”By the time she stepped out for groceries later that morning, the whispers had already started.“That’s her, isn’t it? The wife.” “She looks too normal for him.” “Probably married him for money. Or maybe she’s par
SEASON 2 : CHAPTER 424
That night, Javier sat across from Valeria in their quiet living room. The curtains were drawn, the lights dimmed. For once, there were no allies, no bodyguards, no distractions. Just husband and wife, and the fragile thread of trust between them.He poured her a glass of wine, his movements deliberate, almost ceremonial, as though he were preparing for confession. His face was unreadable, but his eyes… they carried the weight of a man who had lived two lives for far too long.“Valeria,” he began, his voice steady but low, “the man you married—Javier Everhart—is real. But not all of me. Not the parts I’ve kept hidden.”Her grip on the glass tightened. “Then tell me the parts you’ve hidden.”Javier leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his gaze never leaving hers. “I was born into a world where power is currency and secrets are weapons. I learned early that silence protects more than words ever could. Every step I’ve taken, every deal I’ve made… it has been under another mas
