It was a beautiful night.

Jasper gently dried Alyssa off and dressed her in a soft silk nightgown. He lifted her in a princess carry, placed her gently on the bed, and tucked her in.

At this moment, he had finally qualified to be every bit of a caring and attentive husband, tending to his partner with utmost care.

His hands, roughened by combat and hardened by the business world, were unexpectedly tender toward Alyssa. He did not wake her at all throughout the entire process.

Alyssa slept peacefully, occasionally letting out a contented sigh.

She looked tempting.

Jasper swallowed hard. He caressed her dark hair as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, and then her lips.

Then, he left the room and stepped out onto the balcony.

It was already the end of December. Solana City was already in its midwinter season, while Kontina was in its most enjoyable season. An evening breeze blew through the warm and moist atmosphere.

Jasper pondered Alyssa's words with a gloomy look in h

    The smile on Jasper's face froze. A dull pain rose within him. The White Dove was that woman who carried him out of that bloody scene all on her own. She was the woman who ended up covered in injuries because of him. Yet, she was now missing. He had never forgotten about her, not even for a moment. He also wanted to do all he could to search for her. He wanted to express his gratitude toward her in person and to repay her for saving his life. However, after they parted at Luminara, the White Dove was like a drop of water that fell into the deep sea. She vanished completely. He even once wondered if she had actually died. "Nope, it's not her." Jasper gazed at the night sky in the distance as his eyes swelled. But, soon enough, he composed himself once again. He answered calmly, "But she's a woman who is as brave and determined as the White Dove. "We've been through countless trials and tribulations together. She's the one for me in this life and the next. I love her very,

    Jasper said, "I get it. I understand." "So, everything I tell you tonight must be kept to yourself. For one, I'm telling you because I trust you. Secondly, you're not Kontinian, so it's no harm telling you either," said Dexter. Dexter lowered his tone. "Felicity used to be His Royal Highness' personal bodyguard. But there was a rumor that she was actually his lover!"Jasper was gobsmacked. "His lover?" "I'm not sure about the details. After all, I was still young when that woman was sentenced for her crime. This was the royal family's secret, and I found it through various sources during these years of working in the palace." He continued, "I heard that back then, His Royal Highness was deeply in love with this woman. They had also been living together. I've also heard that she became pregnant with a royal heir!"After that, she was somehow sentenced to death because of treason. After she fled, she was even put on the wanted list worldwide. There has been no news about her fo

    With Jasper's comfort and company, Alyssa soon fell back asleep in his arms. When she woke up a second time, the sky was already bright. The curtains swayed in the light breeze, and the warm rays of sunlight shone on her. The room was filled with amorous air and the fresh scent of plants unique to Kontina. It was such a beautiful day, yet she could not admire this refreshing and quiet scene with her beloved. Alyssa sighed softly. A feeling of sorrow filled her heart. After she got up and washed up, she sat on the balcony, lost in thought as she basked in the sunlight."What are you thinking about, Lyse?" Miley came up to check on Alyssa. She smiled as she brought out the breakfast she had prepared herself."Miley!" Alyssa scanned through the scrumptious-looking food on the table. However, a food lover like her had no appetite that day. Even so, she forced a smile and exclaimed, "Wow… It smells great. With just one glance, I can tell that you made all of this. "You are s

    The church had been cleared out three days ago. No one was allowed to enter, not even the outdoor venue and courtyard.Carl was a groom-to-be. Yet, he felt like his heart was being roasted on a fire pit as he struggled with an indescribable feeling of suffering and agony. He didn't want to have a wedding ceremony. He only wanted to leave Kontina and head to a faraway land with Amber as quickly as possible.Today, the sun shone brightly in the sky. Even so, there seemed to be an invisible fog that surrounded the church. Jameson's subordinates filled the church seats. They were expressionless, like puppets lined up in a production factory. They were simply here on their superior's orders to put up a front for the betrothed couple. Amber and Carl were both orphans. They didn't have any relatives or friends. Somehow, it felt like an omen that this couple was destined not to be blessed. Amber wore a pure white floor-length wedding dress. The elegant makeup on her face was beau

    In an instant, the entire church hall fell into a chilling silence. Jameson's subordinates, dressed in black, rose to their feet, their sharp gazes fixed intently on the proudly standing Axel."Axel…"Amber's pale face was initially as lifeless as a marionette's. However, Axel's determined smile rekindled life within her. Tears streamed down her face, washing away her exquisite makeup. Despite her makeup running, she looked even more radiant and genuine.Carl, standing beside her, felt a tightening in his chest. Anger boiled within him, his eyes turning red.His fury stemmed not only from Axel's interruption of the wedding but also from Amber's tears for Axel. It became clear that she hadn't moved on; she was still in love with Axel, while Carl had failed to win her heart."Don't be afraid, Amber. I'm here." Beneath his black coat, Axel trembled uncontrollably, his blood rushing to his head. He cried out with every fiber of his being, "Nothing and no one else can ever separate

    "Don't move!" Carl roared and yanked Amber into his arms. His arm draped protectively across her front as he pressed the gun against her temple. "Take a chance if you want to see your beloved die before your eyes!"Carl knew Axel was one of the top secret agents. Facing all of them alone, taking Axel's life would be effortless.Carl had nowhere to run—Amber was his last shot at staying alive. The woman he professed to love was now his hostage, a tragic twist of fate that seemed almost too absurd to bear."Axel… Leave me… Go!" Amber's voice was resolute despite the tears brimming in her eyes."Don't you dare touch her. If you do, I will ensure you die a torturous death!" Axel's eyes burned with fury and ice, radiating a palpable menace."Amber has registered her marriage with me. She is legally mine!"The look in Carl's eyes was feral. He was choking Amber so hard that her face had puffed red. He continued, "We were supposed to have our wedding ceremony, escape to a distant land

    Alyssa's eyes welled up, turning red. She felt as if her insides were being crushed into smithereens. After a while, she replied in a shaky voice, "You're actually right, Jameson. I have been thinking about you every second of the day. I'm thinking about how you're going to die." Jameson laughed. "You're so adorable, Lyse." Jameson's voice overflowed with affection. If they weren't on the phone, he'd wish he could let everything go and give her a kiss. "Even if you despise the person I am, I am still deeply in love with you. So deeply in love that I can't escape it." "Would a sinister and cold-blooded person like you even know what love is?" Alyssa's glare was sharp, a feeling of disgust surging within her. She enunciated, "Don't you taint such a holy feeling. You don't even deserve to mention anything about love!""I know how to love, Lyse. I will never feel like I've made any mistakes, even till I die." Jameson's croaky voice contained the pain that he had been holding bac

    Amber was being held hostage by Carl as he retreated toward the back of the church in an attempt to escape. However, there was nowhere for him to run. The church was surrounded by the police on all sides. Carl was already at the end of his rope. He was at a dead end!"Stop resisting!" Carl snarled, tightening his grip on Amber. Her face paled as she struggled for breath, her lips turning purple.Amber rasped, "You can't escape. It's over for both you and Jameson.""Shut up!" Carl roared, his eyes bloodshot and body trembling violently.Unexpectedly, Amber burst into laughter, her eyes filled with delight and relief.With no other option, Carl dragged her up the ten-story old tower at the church's back. All exits were blocked, leaving them trapped. The only option was to call for backup. If a helicopter arrived, they might still escape with their lives.Carl called his trusted aides and subordinates, but none answered. It was as if they had all agreed upon this. "Fuck! They're

    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 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
