When the door opened, Landon slid into the living room speedily, worried that Alyssa might change her mind. "Gosh, it's so hard to visit you. The entrance fee is pretty exorbitant."Under the lights, Alyssa's curves were accentuated by the tight robe on her body. Her tiny waist and buttery skin were luscious. He swallowed hard upon casting his eyes on her."Mr. Harper, your eyes are wandering elsewhere," Sean reminded him with much hostility."It's human nature to love beauty. I'm looking at her with the sole intention of admiring an artwork," he grinned and talked his way out of it shamelessly. It was the first time Sean had come across a man who'd reframe his inappropriate behavior into something noble."Is LAN's sculpture in this box?" She stared keenly at the box in his arms."Yes. I bought two sculptures from her—one for Jasper's grandpa and the other for you." His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "Alice, LAN's artworks are handmade. She'll only put ten items on sale every ye

Alyssa said, "Let's do another one.""But you promised to do me a favor!" Landon frowned like a little brat."I really can't agree to that." Alyssa put on a serious face. "I promised Grandpa to show up as his daughter-in-law for the birthday. I will have nothing to do with the Beckett Family after that. "I'm afraid I'll only upset him if I show up to his birthday with a male partner. It's my wish to grant him a memorable 80th birthday. I don't have much time with him, anyway …"A tinge of wistfulness crept into her eyes."Alice, you're a lovely woman. Jasper lost out on you because he's blind!" Landon sighed. Upon second thought, he wouldn't have had a chance with Alice had it not been for Jasper's mistake. Jasper's loss was Landon's gain—a chance at love and happiness!"That's why I wanted us to do another one." She caressed the sculpture with much affection."How about you call me by my name? 'Mr. Harper' sounds too formal." He blinked earnestly."Is that it? My favors don

Twenty minutes later, Jasper showed up in front of Alyssa's villa. He rolled down the windows and stared at the warm lights from the windows, frustrated at the thought of Landon and Alice alone.Frowning, he clutched his phone in his sweaty palm. The screen showed the photo of Alice in a sexy, silky nightdress that showed off her lovely curves.She had only worn loose cotton pajamas in the past, which made her look pregnant. After the divorce, she had let loose of herself and turned into a siren who captivated men everywhere!His firm chest rose and fell. Looking at the photo, he tugged on the perfect knot on his tie. He felt a rush of temptation. …On the other hand, Landon stared at Alyssa with a long face while she chomped on the blue cheese chicken sandwich. He grew up in a very sheltered environment, where his mom doted on him and catered to his fussy tastebuds. He would never eat something like blue cheese."Aren't you eating? It won't be nice when it gets cold," she wonde

The screen went dark, but Jasper's angry eyes were etched on Alyssa's mind. How could that bastard dare to threaten Landon with the divorce? That was tasteless. "Is he seriously thinking of keeping me under his thumb forever using the divorce?" she thought furiously."Alice, I'm sorry." Sniffling, Landon felt a little uneasy. "It's all my fault for being a big mouth. I shouldn't have told him …""It's not your fault." She took a deep breath and cracked her knuckles. "That shameless prick Jasper Beckett is to blame! He just won't let me live in peace."Landon had always acted macho and arrogant in front of ladies. The women around him were mostly submissive and quiet. Therefore, he was flustered by Alyssa's outburst, which was his first experience of being subjugated by a woman.Thunder clapped, followed by bolts of lightning. Rain was coming."Let's have dinner. Ignore him." She left in anger. Standing by the entrance, Landon threw a glance at the door when he was struck by a mo

The winds howled in the downpour as a flash of purple lightning struck. Alyssa recalled that Jasper was standing under a tree just now.The thought terrified her, especially because Jasper was on his phone. Was he asking to be struck by lightning?"Jasper Beckett, I will never meet you out there. Stop calling me and go home now!" Her eyes had turned red."I will not leave if you aren't coming out." His tone was steely."Madman. You're an asshole!" Her face was flushed in anger. She cussed while making her way to the stairs to get out of the villa. Sean called out to her repeatedly but failed to stop her.…Jasper grasped the phone tightly in his hand with a deep frown. Standing firmly, he stared at the door of the villa.He breathed heavily, his eyes lit up with hope when the door was finally opened. Alyssa made her way to him with a jacket on her shoulders and a huge black umbrella in her hand. The wind messed up her hair. She looked frail in the rain, as though she'd be blow

"Ackk—" Despite Jasper's best efforts to hold the pain, he let out a deep groan. Still, he held on tightly to Alyssa.Her eyes wavered in shock as her heart beat against her chest. "Jasper, are you alright?""I'm fine. Get into the car." He endured the pain and grabbed her wrist stubbornly.The rain poured down as she was dragged into the car, speechless at Jasper. The car's interior was dark, damp, and filled with the warmth of their breaths.He threw his wet jacket onto the front passenger seat. His eyes were half-hidden behind his damp bang. He still looked hot even when he was a mess.Still frightened, Alyssa recalled Jasper's hug at that terrifying moment just now. She had mixed feelings about it.In their three years of marriage, he had never hugged her. She finally experienced comfort and safety in his arms."Is that what Liana has been enjoying daily?" she wondered. She smirked at the thought. It didn't matter because he was not hers anymore."Did Jonah Taylor buy you

"Why?" Jasper's eyes wavered in shock as he frowned. He had taken a while to build up the courage for the apology. For that, he lost sleep for a week.At first, he had planned to apologize to Alice at Newton's birthday event. However, when he heard that Landon had shown up at Alice's place, he could wait no more and immediately rushed over to meet her.He was confused by his rash action as he had never behaved in this way in the past. He knew there was a switch button for his emotions, but it slowly dawned upon him that Alice was in control of it."Liana should be apologizing to me. Why would you do that on her behalf? Are you showing off your love for her?" Her icy gaze pierced through him. "If she committed a murder, would you take the punishment for her as well?""Alice, I'm here to offer a sincere apology!" He raised his voice."I feel you're here to anger me." She chuckled. Her eyes were dripping with iciness. "You shouldn't throw around your apology. It's an affront.""Are

"Yeah, he's not worth it …" Alyssa mumbled in a daze.Landon inhaled sharply. He had a heartache seeing the shattered look in her eyes."Alice, why don't we try it out?" Alyssa's brows knitted tightly."Take your time to accept me. I'm no gentleman, but I'm willing to try for your sake!"At the very least, he believed he would be better to her than Jasper."Landon, I'm exhausted. Please don't put me in a difficult place." She glanced at him dejectedly."Alice …" His breath grew shallow. He felt sorry for her."It's late. I really want to go to bed. You should go home soon." She shoved him aside and dragged herself into the bedroom."Are you … and Jonah a thing? What's your relationship with him? Are you dating him seriously or using him to get back at Jasper?"She was taken aback by Landon's pointed questions and curled her fists. "That's none of your business.""I don't see any trace of him in your villa. If he's really your boyfriend, why isn't there a pair of men's slipp

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

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
