last update Last Updated: 2023-04-06 11:24:24
Javier was alone in his office, absentmindedly staring out the window at the view.

His office was on the highest floor of the tallest building in the city, so he was able to oversee the entire city as he stood before a window wall.

At least, that was what it felt like at a glance.

He had the best of everything the city had to offer—the best resources, the highest quality of supplies, and the sharpest executioners.

In this world, he was the one who had earned the most right to be proud and should not be underestimated.

However, at that moment, he felt utterly helpless and powerless.

Claire’s current whereabouts were unknown, and the rationality and levelheadedness he took the most pride in were almost gone.

He kept contemplating what he would do if something were to happen to her.

Ollie was still so young. Was he going to lose his mother at an age where he was still so naïve and so cute?

As for him and their relationship…

Javier forced himself to clear his head at the thought

    Claire turned and looked apprehensively at the door. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest as the sound of the footsteps grew closer.Someone was probably coming to check on her. With that thought in mind, she began glancing around for a place to hide when she spotted a knife on the table. Her gaze froze on the knife as alarm bells went off in her head.Who were the people outside this room, and what kind of grudge did they have against her that they had prepared a knife?She didn’t have much time to think about this and picked up the knife before wedging a plank against the door.She knew the door was probably her only way out, but right now, she didn’t have a choice. She had to buy herself some time.Claire was drenched in sweat by the time she had properly wedged the door shut.She was extremely anxious.A person seemed to be pacing outside the door for quite some time, and she vaguely heard him curse under his breath.She gripped the knife, feeling as though her heart

    Mike gave a signal to the thugs. Stan’s expression immediately turned fierce, and he began approaching Claire.Refusing to accept her fate, Claire held the knife out before her. “I’m warning you, don’t come any closer!” Her voice quivered slightly as she looked directly at him.Stan’s expression instantly changed to one of caution. “I advise you to behave, missy. You’re holding a dangerous thing in your hand. You might hurt yourself if you’re not careful.”He then continued walking toward her.Terrified, she immediately raised the knife higher and pointed it at him.“Stay back, I’m warning you! There’s still no guarantee which of us will be the one getting hurt.”Her voice was unsteady from fear, but she still pretended to be composed as she threatened the man before her.Mike was surprised as he didn’t expect her to pull such a move, but it wasn’t long before he looked contemptuously at her. “You’ve got spirit, bitch. I like that,” he said as he laughed evilly.He deliberately

    Claire was still shaking when she opened her eyes. Her eyes widened, and she was stunned as she took in the disturbing scene before her.The thug that had recklessly tried to grab her was holding his profusely bleeding arm with a pained expression.“Argh, it hurts! I can’t believe you cut me!”The remaining thugs were afraid to act hastily now that one of them had been injured. They all glared at Claire.Claire was scared out of her wits. The sight of blood erased whatever was left of her senses, and her hand that was holding the knife was shaking.She shakily stepped back and stammered. “I-It wasn’t intentional. He was the one who came at me. If any of you dare to do the same, I-I’ll cut you too.”Despite her fear, she forced herself to steel her nerves in order to continue facing them.The thugs looked at her apprehensively.Mike, who was behind them, was indeed intimidating, but right now, they were more afraid of the desperate woman in front of them.They were at a stalema

    The thugs outside had heard Mike cry out and initially wanted to check on the situation, but Stan stopped them. “Ignore it. The boss is inside right now. You’ll be in big trouble if you disrupt him.”What he said made sense, so the other thugs didn’t enter the room. However, a few of them couldn’t help pressing their ears against the door to hear what was going on inside.Stan disapproved of their actions and gave them a warning look. “You’ve all got some guts to eavesdrop. The boss will definitely beat you all up if he finds out.”They immediately distanced themselves from the door and resumed standing guard, but their curiosity didn’t wane.Back in the room, quite some time had passed before Mike recovered from Claire’s kick. His face was angry as he looked murderously at her.“Bitch, you must be tired of living.” He scolded her after slapping her again.The force of his slap was so strong that she staggered and fell to the ground. Her head was spinning, and she almost fainted.

    Javier didn’t know why he felt this way, but now wasn’t the time to figure it out.He got down from his car after finally arriving at the Weiss’ villa.It was currently nighttime, and the members of the Weiss family had already retired to their rooms, so when one of their servants answered the door, he was shocked to see a gloomy and imposing man standing there.“You are?” The servant’s voice shook.“I’m Javier Marquez, and I’m here to see Liam Weiss.”Javier’s tone was cold enough to chill anyone who heard it.The servant shivered involuntarily and nodded before running upstairs.Liam was still awake when the servant knocked hesitantly on his room door.“A Javier Marquez is here to see you, Mr. Weiss.” The servant couldn’t help shivering again as he recalled Javier’s expression.Shocked by what he had heard, Liam asked, “Really? He’s downstairs right now?”“Yes, sir. I don’t think he comes bearing good news. Please go downstairs and meet him.”Liam immediately put down his

    Javier stared out the window as he left the Weiss family villa with a gloomy look in his eyes and a matching expression. Hidden under the gloom was his fury that grew like a storm.He had confirmed that the Weiss family wasn’t involved in Claire’s disappearance, but Henry still had no updates.His expression turned cold as his thoughts suddenly wandered to the feud between him and Charles, and just as he was about to order his driver to head to Nuvola Palace, his phone rang.Rage filled his face when he answered it, and without a moment’s delay, he ordered, “Head there now, as fast as possible.”With that, he passed his phone to the driver, which displayed the route to an abandoned factory.The driver immediately turned the car in the opposite direction and sped to the location, running all the red traffic lights.…At the same time, Mike, who had set up his camera, laughed maniacally as he approached Claire.Slowly squatting down, he looked as though he was admiring his prize

    Claire’s cheek was as cold as her hand. Javier felt his heart tremble and his heartache intensify.Fear lingered in his heart as he recalled the critical moment when he had found her. The consequences would have been unimaginable if he hadn’t made it there in time.She would have been devastated and in despair if Mike had managed to carry out his plan.Javier felt his heart rate fluctuate, like the rippling surface of a lake after someone had thrown a stone into it.She seemed to be sleeping peacefully as she lay on the bed and didn’t show any signs of waking up soon.He traced over her eyes with his gaze and found himself unable to look away from them. His eyes remained transfixed for quite some time before he was able to tear his gaze away. His movements were especially gentle as he reluctantly tucked her hand under the quilt.Checking the time, it was currently late at night.He didn’t realize it was already so late. Ollie was probably fast asleep by now. He quietly exited th

    A devastated Claire immediately shoved away the person embracing her.“No, don’t touch me! Stay away!” she yelled in despair.Looking up, she was stunned to see Javier. She blinked her eyes as though she couldn’t believe what she was seeing and murmured, “Is it really you, Javier?”The sight of him seemed to calm her down as she stopped screaming and simply looked helplessly at the man in front of her.Javier’s heart ached, and he immediately reached out and pulled her into his embrace.“It’s alright, you’re fine, you’re safe now. Mike didn’t do anything to you, so you don’t have to be afraid,” he said in a comforting tone, but it was slightly stiff due to nervousness.She blinked blankly, and it took some time for her to recover from her shock. “Is that true?” she eventually asked with uncertainty.Did nothing really happen to her? But her dream was so vivid.With a firm nod and resolute eyes, he held her head against him. “It’s true. Trust me. As long as I’m here, nothing wil

    Hattie looked extremely sincere in her pleading. However, when Sofia did not answer or even look at her, she began to lose confidence. Sofia's face was impassive. "Hattie, I've known you since you were a baby, but I can't help you with this. Please leave." She did not want to discuss the other stuff with her yet.However, Hattie was obstinate. She looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Aunt Sofia, please, please help me. I know it's not much trouble for you, but it can save our entire family. You've always been so kind to me. I promise that the Snyder family will repay you for your kindness!"Hearing this, Sofia felt uncomfortable. She raised her head and gazed at her coldly. "In this case, Hattie, I'll tell you why I won't help you," she said impatiently. "Do you really not know what you've done? I won't say it, but I know exactly what you've done to Ollie. You deserve everything that's happening to you now."Hattie widened her eyes, partly in shock and partly in disbelief when she h

    Javier paused outside the door and waited until Claire left before giving his subordinates a look. They understood perfectly and grabbed Chantelle at once.As Javier had ordered, they were to send this woman abroad as far away as possible and leave her to fend for herself.Outside the hotel, Claire looked up at the sky blankly. She felt like a huge burden had been taken off her shoulders; for the first time in a long time, she felt relieved of all the hurt that she had suffered five years ago. Turning back, she told Javier, "Thank you, Javier, for allowing me to face my fears. I feel so relieved now."Javier's expression fell when he heard her thank him. He tapped her on the nose fondly in exasperation. "What are you talking about? Of course, I won't let those who hurt you get off so easily. They have to pay for what they have done."Claire was touched to see him so protective of her. A surge of warmness spread in her chest as she gazed at him fondly. "I'm lucky to have you, Javier."T

    That was all Armand could think of.In just a few minutes, Chantelle admitted to everything she had done to Claire over the past few years.From drugging Claire out of jealousy and getting a stranger to assault her to getting Liam to banish her abroad, she admitted to everything. Claire knew some of them, but not all; only now did she know the extent of her crimes.When she was finished, everyone in the room sported conflicting expressions. Liam looked especially hurt and remorseful. It turned out that his younger daughter had always been evil, and he had wrongfully blamed Claire for all these years.Armand, on the other hand, didn't know how to feel about all this. He glanced at Claire and Javier. He felt that he really didn't deserve Claire, after all he had done. He had thought Chantelle to be kind and naive and had trusted her blindly to the point that he almost married her.Thank goodness the wedding didn't happen. Even so, he had lost Claire thanks to this. It made him regret eve

    If Chantelle told Claire the truth about what happened that night, then there would be nothing stopping her from having a happily-ever-after with Javier.Back then, driven by jealousy, she had drugged Claire and put her in Javier's bed without their consent. She had planned all of this out herself meticulously. She had gotten Armand to catch Claire in the act so that he would call off the engagement and be with her instead. Liam banished Claire abroad to fend for herself. However, if she had known that the random stranger she had arranged to assault Claire was Javier, she never would've done it.Even so, it was a perfect plan worthy of a blockbuster film. Claire and Javier never found out the truth, nor did they know that Ollie was actually Javier's son.It took them two years of skirting around each other only to find out that they were meant to be in the first place. Now that the truth was out, Claire would not settle for prison as a punishment for the cause of all her suffering. Sh

    After a lot of persuasion, Claire and Sofia finally managed to get Ollie to agree to stay in the hospital for another three days.Of course, three days weren't enough. Sofia and Pedro tried everything they could to convince Ollie to stay in the hospital for as long as possible.However, Ollie was smart enough to see through their ruse. He felt guilty when he saw them trying to cajole him into staying, so one day, after another attempt, he spoke up hesitantly, "Grandma, Grandpa, I'm glad that you're trying to keep me happy, and I'm touched that you're concerned about me, but I've been in the hospital for too long and it's making me sad. I promise that I'll listen to the doctor even when I'm at home, okay?" Under his bright, clear gaze, Sofia's protests died in her throat, leaving only exasperation and wordless sorrow.Ollie was too mature for his age. How could they not love him?Therefore, Ollie got his wish and was discharged three days later. In order to take care of Ollie, Sofia an

    Hearing this, Javier narrowed his eyes. He felt like he was on the verge of grasping something, but the feeling passed too quickly for him to register it. Softening his tone, he said, "There's no need to be scared, Ollie. We're all right here with you. We'll protect you no matter what happens. Can you tell me what you remembered?"Ollie might have regained his memories from before he'd been drugged.Buoyed by the encouragement, Ollie thought hard for a moment and said with a frown, "I … I remember a lady beating me. She locked me up and didn't let me eat anything while saying bad things about me and Mommy all the time. I wanted to fight back, but I was too weak. After I tried to run, she caught me and beat me up some more and forced me to eat food off the floor." Toward the end of this, Ollie burst into tears.Claire's heart hurt for him. She wanted to hug him, but Javier got there first."Tell me, Ollie, do you know her name?" Javier's voice was thick with tears as well. "Do you remem

    With that, Henry threw a glance at the rest of the employees and hurried them out. He also dragged Raina and Thomas out with him, leaving only Claire and Javier's parents to keep him company.Since it was only a small procedure for Javier, he did not get a lot of anesthesia. He tried to wriggle his body a little. Realizing what he was doing, Claire quickly helped him sit up.Javier did not look like he had just come out of surgery. Thanks to his strong physique, he looked fine.Seeing this, Sofia finally eased up a little on her worries. "How are you feeling, Javier?"Javier shook his head. "I'm fine, Mom. I just need some rest. How about Ollie? Did they say when he'll wake up?" He already knew that the surgery was a success, so he wanted to know when he would be able to see Ollie."Randy said that Ollie will be out for some time, but he's fine," Claire replied. Javier nodded. He, too, finally eased up on the tight knot of worry that was weighing his chest.Once he was sure that Javie

    The surgery took three hours.As time went by, Claire got more and more anxious. However, there was nothing she could do but wait.In the end, Sofia was the first to crack. She went up to Claire and said anxiously, "Claire, are you sure that Dr. Xenos is good? It's been three hours, why aren't they out yet? I have a bad feeling about this."Claire wasn't exactly relaxed either, but she didn't show it. She gathered her thoughts and comforted Sofia. "Everything will be fine, Mrs. Marquez. Randy is a well-known surgeon, I'm sure he knows what he's doing. Don't worry." She wanted to reach out to comfort her, but in the end, she just sat there with an awkward expression. This was probably how their relationship would be in the foreseeable future—awkward and distant.Pedro watched their interaction with an air of knowingness. "Stop crying, Sofia," he said. "They're fine, you don't have to cry about them. Claire's still pregnant, don't upset her."Sofia was about to get angry about his admoni

    At that, Javier narrowed his eyes dangerously.The Weiss family wasn't in a stable condition right now, so it wouldn't be hard for him to take revenge on Claire's behalf. Now that he knew the truth of what had happened, he had to find a way to punish the perpetrators.The news that Ollie was Javier's biological son quickly spread, especially after Sofia held a party in celebration. In fact, it made headlines the day before Ollie's scheduled surgery.Javier wasn't surprised about it. He had been looking for an opportunity to announce it to the public so that there wouldn't be unsightly rumors that would affect Claire. Claire, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable about the announcement. After all, she had always been a private person; she didn't want anyone to disturb her peaceful life.After a while, though, she got used to it.The most important contributor to this was that it benefited Ollie. From now on, he wasn't a fatherless child anymore. He could tell anyone who would l
