"Of course I'm okay with it. I'm fine with anything as long as I'm with you, and if it's for Grandpa," Jasper said with a smile."I feel sorry…" Alyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his shoulders. She said in a muffled voice, "Ben told me that Grandpa hasn't been feeling well for a while, but I couldn't tell until now. "He even got up from his wheelchair at the cemetery. Whenever I think of that, I feel horrible. How could I have carelessly missed it?""It's not your fault, Lyse. You've done well," Jasper comforted her. "Let's pay more attention to him in the future. I bet he doesn't want to stress you out. He might refuse to see you if he learns that you know about his condition," said Jasper.Then, he thought, "Did Landon and I have the honor to date the two kindest souls in the world? We're two lucky guys!"…The mood in Crescent Bay villa was gay due to Jasper and Alyssa's presence. Alyssa performed a checkup on Newton, after which she prepared so

It was good news, but the air grew heavy. After a pause, Alyssa revealed calmly, "Cyrus told me that Sophia went berserk before the death sentence. She peed herself and couldn't walk straight. They had to drag her to the execution chamber. It was such a cathartic scene."Jasper finally croaked, "Was it by lethal injection or firing?""Lethal injection." She looked deep into his eyes. The corner of her lips lifted. "Firing would have been too merciful for her. She struggled in pain for ten minutes until her heart stopped."She was strapped to a chair by the time of her death, limbs stiff and face contorted. The short ten minutes of torture might not be enough to make up for what she did to Anne, but at least justice was served."Jasper lowered his gaze. The news stirred complicated emotions in him. Sophia Kirkman was dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.He should have applauded in glee, but he did not feel as excited as he thought he would be since the case had dragged out for too

Suddenly, Alyssa felt Jasper's hand on the small of her back. He pressed her against his warm chest."Mmm…" Her body went limp, and her breath caught. Jasper sealed her lips with a look of desire and guilt. He kissed her deeply, passionately, and freely in front of Newton.Newton and Ben looked delighted at the scene as their hearts raced. Given Jasper's nature, he consistently exhibited reserved, undiplomatic, and challenging traits. When Jasper was a teen, Newton had seriously considered bringing him in for a psychiatric evaluation multiple times, but he worried he might injure the poor kid's ego.Now, Jasper was a changed man all because of Alyssa."Don't! Grandpa is here." Alyssa shoved Jasper away awkwardly with a blush on her cheeks."Grandpa is family." Jasper put a hand on her waist. He blurted out, "Besides, why can't I kiss my lover in public?"She shyly pressed her moist lips together at his flirting.In the past, all he could do was carefully trod around. Every t

As Newton's grandson, Jasper did not take after him much. All he took after was Javier's cold-heartedness. Jasper thought he was getting better, but he finally realized that he could never measure up to the depth of Newton's affection for Doris."I will never hurt you again," he said in a trembling voice after a frustrating silence.Alyssa placed a finger on his lips and chuckled. "Yeah. You won't."…After the couple enjoyed a hearty dinner with Newton, Ben sent someone to get the fireworks.Seated in the wheelchair, Newton smiled as the couple lit the fireworks. Jasper and Alyssa waved the sparklers around like two happy kids on Christmas Day."Look at the wide smile on Mr. Jasper's face," remarked Ben, who thoughtfully draped a blanket on Newton's lap. "I still remember the time he first started living with you. "His height was around your waist level. He was dressed in oversized clothes, looking tanned, underweight, and tiny. Now, he's a man with his own responsibilities."

Frowning deeply, Newton began, "Justin…"A troubled expression clouded Justin's face, and he offered a bitter smile. "Sorry, Grandpa. I'm pretty useless. I can't be of help to you and Dad. Not only do I fail to take charge of the company, I'm perpetually sick."I've been pondering something repeatedly. Life might have been better if I hadn't experienced that kidnapping. If I were more selfish and escaped on my own, would things be different now?"Newton grappled with complex emotions but spoke warmly to Justin, "Justin, please don't entertain such thoughts. I know you've endured a lot. It was an unfortunate incident. I genuinely feel bad for you because you're my grandson. I love you and Jasper deeply.""Who do you love more, me or him?" Justin threw a tricky question at Newton.Seeing Newton momentarily stunned, Justin smiled. "You don't have to answer. I understand. It's fine. I won't be upset. As Jasper's elder brother and the eldest of the Beckett Group, I'm willing to sacrifi

"Justin, are you a fan of mine?" Alyssa blinked rapidly. The notion struck Alyssa as interesting. More peculiarly, Justin claimed he had met her way earlier, which made her feel doubtful.Although her identity as Alexa got exposed, it was a well-kept secret years ago. From Justin's words, he seemed to have known she was Alexa long before she was exposed."I have heard great things about you. You feel familiar and real—like someone who's by my side. I don't see you as a stranger," remarked Justin earnestly. "Haha! My granddaughter-in-law is pretty famous!" Joking, Newton took Alyssa and Jasper's hands. Then, he put their hands on top of each other in front of Justin. "Jasper, you need to worship Alice. Just look at how famous and brilliant she is. She's a lucky charm of the family!"Alyssa pressed her lips together as she blushed. Jasper interlocked his fingers with hers and declared, "Grandpa, don't you worry about that. To her, I'm just her man. But to me, she is my entire worl

"However, just take a look at the situation now. Does Mr. Beckett Senior still care for you? He has been keeping his guard up with you. He's afraid of you. "Their little family has been enjoying each other's company in Solana City. They've never shown concern over how you've survived through all those nights that were full of pain and suffering! "It was Jasper who snatched away all that belonged to you. Everything that he now has… Those were supposed to be yours!" Sheryl exclaimed. Justin picked up another pill and put it in his mouth. He started chewing it. He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Grandpa, you said that he was just a child back then. But you seem to have forgotten that I was also a child at that time." …Initially, Jasper and Alyssa wanted to stay back. They wanted to accompany Newton. Nonetheless, Newton was adamantly against it. He insisted that they go back home. "Are you two out of your minds? Go on and enjoy each other's company. Why do you always want to hang

When Jasper and Alyssa got home, Jasper received a call from Xavier. Then, he went to the study to get some work done. "Mr. Beckett, the foundation's matters are pretty much all set. You'll just need to pick a date for the official announcement." "Alright. Thanks." Jasper's voice sounded low and a little weary. "Also, weren't you planning to bring Madam to Swizo for a holiday? I've made preparations for a manor there. It's right at the foot of the Alton Mountains. The scenery there is fantastic. You and Madam can head over there any time," Xavier said in a jolly tone. He had been feeling elated since they defeated Sophia. Every day, he was so happy that he'd be smiling in his sleep. However, Jasper still didn't respond after a while. He wasn't paying attention. He was still thinking about his conversation with Justin earlier that night. He was also bothered by how Justin had looked at Alyssa. Jasper felt his chest tighten. The look in his eyes was deep. "Mr. Beckett? Mr.

"Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t
