"Maggie, I will come to your place with Mr. Beckett and pick you up from downstairs. Don't worry. No one will see us." Alyssa's heart beat wildly as she promised her. "I'm not afraid of getting caught. I only have this window of time to head out," Maggie sighed sadly. "We're picking you up to ensure you're safe."Jasper's voice was low as he said with a stern face, "Now, the Schmidt Group might be keeping an eye on your every move. If the Schmidt Group finds out that you've left out of the blue, it might put you in danger."Maggie was stunned. "M-Ms. Alyssa, this is…""Don't be afraid, Maggie. This is Mr. Beckett. He is beside me now." Alyssa lifted her face and gently raised her hands. Jasper got up. Like a servant serving the queen, he placed his handsome face before her, their noses touching.Alyssa was slightly startled, blinking. Then, Jasper kissed the top of her lip. He swirled the tip of his tongue cheekily. As Alyssa felt the tease, his lips left hers. Alyssa cur

Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears after Jasper's sincere words. She planted a kiss on his lips.Jasper was delighted by it. He grabbed Alyssa's waist, lifted her, and spun her around calmly."Ah! No!"In an instant, a chill swept over Alyssa. The towel, previously wrapped securely around her waist and covering her private area, loosened and slipped off.Jasper's blood boiled as he caught Alyssa on full display."I think it's just right."Jasper curled his lips naughtily. He scooped Alyssa up and walked toward the bedroom, kissing her inch by inch."W-What are you doing? I just showered!" Alyssa's heart raced as she playfully hit his chest. A subtle pinkish blush spread across her smooth, silky skin.Jasper's eyes reddened as he murmured hoarsely, "I'll shower you again. Let me get my batteries recharged."…After enduring an excruciating wait until nightfall, Alyssa, Jasper, and Xavier returned to Maggie's house once again.Both of them were waiting in the car. Xavier stood

"What did you say? Alyssa and Jasper took Maggie away?"In the bedroom, Josh held his unwilling wife, Clarissa, on the bed. He aggressively ripped her nightgown, ready to start his weekly "routine".After Jameson assumed his position and gained his father's favor, his stress levels soared. Now, as long as he had the energy, he would force Clarissa into fulfilling his lustful desires. He did all he could to get his wife to bear children as soon as possible to continue the family's legacy. His father cherished children greatly and yearned for a growing family. Josh held the position of the elder child in his generation. If his own child became the first grandchild of the generation, it would further solidify his standing in the family, providing him with a point of competition against Jameson.However, as he was about to enter, the emergency call caused him to lose his arousal. "Are you sure? Double Trouble took the girl away?"Josh got out of the bed naked. He furiously picked h

"What did I tell you before? Never intrude or ask about my personal affairs! Are you challenging me right now? How dare you pity that filthy little brat? Everything I do, I do for my family!" Josh roared.Clarissa's ears buzzed as her vision swam from being hit.She quickly changed her tune, saying shakily, "No, I'm not pitying her. I'm just worried about you. It won't bode well to be responsible for someone's death. If the police manage to trace it back to you, it would affect your reputation even if they didn't have direct evidence. "If that happens, I'm worried Jameson would take advantage and try to sway your position in the company. Plus, you don't need to have someone's blood on your hands just because you're on good terms with David."Josh calmed down slightly upon hearing this. He sneered. "Do you really think I wouldn't have set a way out for myself? What a stupid concern. I'm only helping David to get on Dad's good side. Can't you see this very obvious relationship betwe

Alyssa didn't question why Maggie was crying nor pressured her."I-I just never expected that you guys would be s-so nice to me…" Maggie choked out, her eyes swollen red. "I know… you guys are only doing this because I can… can testify against David Schmidt… But I'm… still so thankful to you all… for respecting me…"Maggie's tear-stained faces and stuttering words broke both Alyssa and Jasper's hearts. Their breaths stuck in their throats as if caught in a vice.Xavier's brows knitted together. He had to hold himself back from releasing his fury.At just 17 years old, Maggie had already suffered wounds of pain that seemed impossible to heal. It was all David Schmidt's fault!If David didn't pay for this, who else could?"We're not being kind to you nor respecting you all because you're a witness to the case, Maggie. Every kind-hearted young girl in this world deserves respect." Alyssa embraced Maggie into her arms, her own eyes reddening. "Tragedy led us to one another, but pleas

Before meeting Maggie in person, Xavier had thought that this young girl from a poor background only wanted Jasper and Alyssa's protection. But after hearing her heartfelt words, Xavier thought himself shallow and close-minded. He really was nothing compared to this smart, young girl."It's wonderful that you think so." Alyssa embraced Maggie with tears in her eyes. "I'll introduce you to my sister if there's an opportunity to do so in the future. I'm sure you two will become best friends."…Maggie spent the night telling Alyssa and Jasper about her experience of being abused by David, not leaving a single detail out.Maggie's father had passed on early and their family was poor. Maggie's mother worked three jobs in order to send her to school, often working into the wee hours of morning. Even when Maggie's mother fell ill from overexertion, she still didn't want to waste any time getting a check-up at a hospital.When Maggie hit 17 years of age, she was able to secretly earn mon

It was already past midnight when they arranged everything.For the sake of Maggie's safety, Alyssa had intended for Maggie to live in her own house starting today until the case against David Schmidt ended. For one, Maggie could be protected. Secondly, Alyssa genuinely adored this unfortunate yet strong, young girl.But Maggie insisted on going back home because of her mother's heart condition. She was worried her mother might get a heart attack if she woke up from her sleep and did not see Maggie anywhere, not to mention what might happen if her mother knew that Maggie had come to speak to them.It was a good thing Maggie's mother hadn't contacted her that night. She must still be sleeping. It was as if the heavens itself supported this strong, young girl's decision, too.Xavier escorted Maggie to the car, treating her with utmost care throughout the process as if he had turned a new leaf.Jasper walked out of the villa with Alyssa in his arms. He wiped away her tears and wrappe

Maggie cried some more once she returned home, having revealed so much of her painful past to Alyssa all at once. She ended up falling asleep and only waking up in the afternoon the next day. Her mother had gone to work already. Maggie struggled to get out of bed. She really didn't feel like going out, so she called the shopowner of the tailor shop she used to work at to order some fabrics. She planned to start making a bag for Xavier.In all honesty, if it was someone else who'd asked Maggie to do this, she wouldn't have actually gone through with it.But Xavier's eyes had been so bright and his tone so earnest when he asked. Maggie couldn't help but want to finish making it for him as fast as she could.The tailor shop owner called Maggie in the evening and informed her that he'd sent a runner to drop off the fabrics. The runner was about to reach her home.Maggie thanked the shop owner profusely and patiently waited.Sometime later, someone knocked on her door.Maggie was ea

"Amber will be fine," Jasper said confidently. "Based on Justin's way of doing things, he won't harm her for now. She's still useful t o him. He'll exploit her to control you and Alyssa, and to keep me from taking him down."Gripping Jasper's arm, Axel pleaded, "Jasper, I have to save my wife… What should I do?" His eyes were red, brimming with unshed tears.Steadying his breath, Jasper replied, "Even if it comes to killing Justin, it shouldn't be your hands that get dirty. I'll do it.""Are you kidding me? If we're taking that bastard down, we do it together!" Axel's expression was fierce and unyielding. "We went through the same military academy. We have to fight side by side!""Justin is my older brother. It's my family's matter to handle. And don't think I'm doing this for your sake—I have my own reasons."After a moment of silence, Jasper's voice softened. "I came to see you today for another reason. When you get home, don't blame Lyse. She's been torturing herself with g

When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based. Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness. A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray."Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest—you won't find her no matter ho

Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent. "Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly."Not at all." Perhaps he had been expecting too much. As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore."I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!" With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone. "Ambs…"Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device. Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on. "What's the password?" Jasper asked g

"Five times more potent than the previous version? Are you sure it's safe for Remy to consume this?" Sheryl picked up the pill, unease flickering across her face. As much as she despised Remy, she couldn't deny his prowess as a fighter and his value as Justin's right-hand man. Having him around would certainly ease Justin's workload, prompting her to double-check."It won't kill him, but it won't be pleasant either. Don't worry—it's temporary," Justin replied, a sinister smile curling his lips. He continued nonchalantly, "When he takes the pill, his adrenaline will spike, flooding him with energy while his muscles tense. He'll feel both pain and euphoria. Then, it will fade, leaving him dependent on the drug moving forward." The implication was clear to Sheryl. Justin intended to control Remy through addiction. "Remy wasn't born for the shadows," Justin continued, his gaze darkened. "He's just a victim of post-traumatic amnesia, his nervous system subdued with sedatives and anes

"Got it, Mr. Harper!" Harper Group's subordinates acknowledged before swiftly dispersing. "I'm going to search for Amber too," Alyssa said, turning to leave.Jasper caught her arm. "It's freezing. Go wait in the car." Landon chimed in, "Lyse, listen to Jasper. Just wait in the car. We'll search for Amber.""No—I have to come too!" Alyssa sniffled. The sharp wind stung her face, leaving her nose raw and crimson, her eyes watering until they puffed into tender, swollen crescents. "Amber's in trouble because of me. I was careless—it's all my fault!""Lyse…" Landon's heart sank at her remorseful expression.Jasper's gaze softened as he studied Alyssa's pale face. "Her disappearance isn't your fault."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes as she shook her head. "Amber means everything to Axel. If anything happens to her, I won't be able to face him. I don't deserve to be his sister. Please, let me come with you."Jasper and Landon failed to dissuade her. Reluctantly, they agreed. Alyssa

After studying Sheryl for a moment, Remy turned and left."M-Ms. Gillis, are you okay?" One of Sheryl's subordinates came forward to help her up."Useless bastard! Why didn't you step in when he hit me earlier?" Sheryl's voice trembled with fury as her gaze fell on the crimson stains marring the pristine snow.Stammering, the subordinate replied, "R-Remy acted too quickly. Everyone in the organization knows how good of a fighter he is. None of us stood a chance against him!""S-Something wasn't right about him tonight." Sheryl watched Remy's retreating figure disappear into the distance, her voice dropping to a menacing murmur. "I need to report this to Mr. Justin in person immediately."Inside his car, Remy gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands but made no move to drive.Closing his eyes, he felt a suffocating sensation rise in his throat, as though he were drowning in an endless, hopeless sea. He was just a speck, sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.A shar

With a piercing gaze, Sheryl glared at Remy, who stood in front of her car with an air of frigidity around him. The temptation to ram her car into the crestfallen man was almost irresistible, but she didn't dare. Remy was Justin's right-hand man, and even her audacity had limits. Instead, Sheryl pulled her white coat snugly around her, stepped out of the car with feigned composure, and strode toward him. Hostility crackled between them as their eyes locked.Sheryl broke the silence. "Remy, is there nothing you'd like to update me about?" she asked with a sinister look in her eyes. Stiffly, Remy asked, "Where did you take that woman?" "How shameless of you to question me. Mr. Justin was wise to send me as backup. Otherwise, Amber would have escaped without a trace!"Gritting her teeth, Sheryl took a step closer to Remy. "Is this how you handle tasks entrusted by Mr. Justin? The unstoppable Remy, brought to his knees by a wild brat? Or did you let her go intentionally? Are yo

"Jameson and Carl have been eliminated. Who else could be targeting Amber?"A sharp glint flashed in Jasper's eyes as a thought struck him. "Could it be Justin or Sheryl?" he asked, his voice low and tense.He recalled seeing Justin in the living room earlier that evening, wide awake instead of resting. Was Justin waiting for something? Or perhaps, provoking him in subtle defiance?"They are the only ones I can think of with a grudge against Amber." Alyssa's anxiousness made her voice tremble. "Having worked for Jameson for years, Amber must have visited Mosgravia multiple times to meet with Sir—who is, in fact, Justin. "Justin wouldn't have met anyone else besides Jameson. But how could he leave no trace after all those interactions? Amber must have figured out his true identity. And Justin—he must have realized who she is, even with her changed appearance."Jasper's expression darkened. "So he decided to eliminate her as a precaution."Tears welled in Alyssa's eyes, threaten

Searching for Amber without direction would be pointless. Jasper made a swift decision to bring Alyssa back to the manor, shielding her from the relentless chill of the wind. Once inside, he immediately began organizing the search. He deployed his men and contacted Landon, requesting additional support.The two of them sat together on the couch.This time, there was no space between them. It was as though an invisible force drew them closer, their proximity feeling natural yet electric. Neither could say who had moved first.Alyssa, however, was in no mood to dwell on their closeness. Wrapped in her down jacket, she curled up on the couch, her arms hugging herself tightly. A quiet frostiness emanated from her as she sat in silence, listening to Jasper's calm and methodical calls to mobilize his team.In the past, his composed presence would have been enough to ease her mind. But now, her thoughts were a tangled mess, each one like a razor claw tearing at her heart. The pain was u
