The moment Alyssa's eyes met Jasper's, her heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts tangled in a whirlwind, like a ball of yarn unraveled in haste.

How long had he been waiting there?

Had he been here all night?

She couldn't tear her gaze away from his captivating, reddened eyes. Tears threatened to spill, and her heart ached.

And just then, she was reminded of the scene at the orphanage the day before—how Jasper had held Sheryl tightly in his arms under that tree.

Alyssa's frail body trembled. She shifted her gaze away from his face, feeling a tightness in her throat.

In this life, she had faced some incredibly trying times.

During her time with Doctors Without Borders, she endured some of her harshest moments—starvation, freezing cold, and over ten days without a shower. Yet, even in those circumstances, she never felt completely defeated. But now, in front of Jasper, she was on the verge of breaking down.

Just as she was about to shut the door, Jasper shot to his feet and char

It would be awesome if you could publish more than one chapter at a time. The one chapter is 2-3 minutes of reading - so we NEVER get the chance to get the bonuses, and that sucks. It has been over a year. Please publish the rest of the book.

    Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes as she wrinkled her nose slightly and pushed her luck. "A friend? Lover? Ex-lover? Or… someone who's unable to move on?" Jasper's eyes were as dark as the night sky. "I don't know." Alyssa stared at the cold, emotionless man before her, overwhelmed with helplessness. No words could describe the disappointment she felt. "You've seen me now. You may leave." To her surprise, in the next second, Jasper shoved the door open without warning. As he had exerted too much force, Alyssa stumbled and let out a small gasp as she fell backward. In an instant, Jasper lunged forward, wrapping a muscular arm around her waist and pulling her close. Their bodies pressed together, so close she could feel his warmth, their breaths mingling in the space between them.Jasper could even see, with much clarity, those tiny pores on Alyssa's supple skin. "L-Let go of me…" Alyssa's heart raced as she squirmed in his grip. Jasper's grip on her waist was unrelenting,

    The moment Jasper's lips touched Alyssa's, an overwhelming wave of emotions surged through his chest and rushed to his head. He pinned Alyssa's supple body to the bed, kissing her clumsily and forcefully. Her eyes shimmered with tears.At first, she struggled slightly, gasping for air. But soon, she surrendered to the kiss she had longed for, lifting her hips and grabbing onto Jasper's shirt as she kissed him back.Their breaths intertwined, creating a beautiful harmony. Jasper's gaze deepened as he looked into her moist eyes and at her delicate nose, which, at its tip, was flushed a rosy pink. That night, they lingered in a breathless kiss. Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone pierced the moment. Jasper's and Alyssa's eyes flew open as though jolted awake from a dream. At the same time, an immense pain shot through Jasper's head and spread throughout his body.He pulled away from the kiss and dashed out of the hospital ward without looking back. Alyssa trembled as she kne

    "Amber, thank you for sharing such crucial information with me. If Justin is this so-called Sir, I have even more reason not to distance myself from him."On the contrary, I should go with the flow and get closer to him. It's the only way to expose his true colors and uncover his schemes." "No, don't!" Amber's unease was palpable. "Sir is extremely dangerous. After years of following him, even Jameson has only seen 10% of his capabilities. There could be someone even more powerful backing him from the shadows."And with Mr. Jasper in his current state, he won't be able to protect you like he used to. If Justin sets his sights on you, wouldn't it make it harder for you and Mr. Jasper to repair your relationship?"Upon hearing that, Alyssa held her breath. Agony surged like waves in her heart. "Lyse, I know you're a righteous person. You're a heroine among us women, better than many men. But you're not invincible. There are challenges you can't face alone, and you need protection

    Alyssa only stayed in the hospital for two short days before returning to KS Group to oversee the company. Since Winston had stepped back due to health issues, he only offered Alyssa private advice on major decisions she had to make. Other than that, he left everything to her and refrained from interfering.The temperature had been dropping for two consecutive weeks, and snow continued to fall. Yet, Alyssa hadn't heard any news about Jasper. She had hoped that their kiss would mark a new beginning, but now it seemed more like a farewell.On this day, after a strategy meeting with KS Group's top executives, Alyssa returned to her office to review the tender proposal for the Solana City A5 real estate project. Known as Project A5, this was a significant five-year initiative backed by the government, attracting widespread attention for its immense potential.If executed well, the project would bring tremendous value and offer businessmen a gateway into the political arena, giving the

    Julien paused and sighed. "That said, I feel like Jasper will choose the former—his career. A man who's reached the top in life will never let himself fall back to the bottom. Especially someone as prideful and with such high self-esteem as him.""Beckett Group is the result of Jasper's sweat and effort. I was his wife for three whole years. I know better than anyone how hard he worked to get where he is today." Alyssa shook her head in anguish. "He will never give up on Beckett Group, no matter how much it drains him.""There's no cure for drug addiction. The only way to overcome it is through sheer willpower. All I can do is help him find some relief. I'm sorry, Lyse," Julien said, his voice strained with pain."Don't say that, Jul. You've done a lot for Jasper. You've done more than enough…" Alyssa blinked, her eyes swollen. "Oh, right. Mandy and I visited Uncle Joseph the other day. He asked me to pass on a message to you. He wanted me to tell you… that he's sorry."A long si

    The sky was gray as freezing rain fell in the midst of the wind and snow, making Alyssa's heart feel even heavier.An hour later, Newton's car came to a stop at a cemetery in the western suburbs. The car door opened, and Ben, holding an umbrella, helped the faltering Newton out. Newton chose not to use his wheelchair and instead walked slowly into the cemetery."Miss Alyssa, this cemetery isn't considered expensive. It's where commoners are buried. Given Mr. Beckett Senior's family background, could he possibly have friends among ordinary people?" Sean asked, watching Newton with a perplexed expression. "Who could Mr. Beckett Senior be visiting in this terrible weather? He's not even using his wheelchair. It's making me really curious."Alyssa stared out the window with a gloomy gaze. After some hesitation, she opened the door, got out, and quietly followed behind them, careful not to be noticed.After a while, she saw Newton and Ben stop in front of a gravestone. They bowed deep

    As soon as Newton spoke, Esther flew into a rage, her bloodshot eyes glaring at him as she charged forward.Alyssa's heart raced, and she prepared to intervene. But before she could act, Ben stepped forward, grabbing Esther's wrists with a firm grip, preventing her from moving or harming Newton."Bastards! Demons! All of you Becketts are ruthless demons!" Esther's eyes bulged with fury as she struggled and shouted, "I won't give up! Your grandson will pay for his crime, or you can get rid of me right now!"The heated confrontation quickly attracted the attention of the cemetery's security guards. Two of them rushed over and restrained Esther, pulling her away."Mr. Newton, this is a serious issue. We can't just ignore her," Ben said, his usual tenderness replaced with a sharp, determined gaze. "If she goes out and spreads rumors, it could cause a public uproar and severely damage Beckett Group's reputation. Do you want me to take care of her?""What are you talking about?" Newton,

    Newton's eyes widened as he clenched his fists. "Alyssa… you—""I saw and heard everything that happened at the cemetery today." Alyssa took a deep breath, her voice steady. "Grandpa Newton, was what Ms. Rollins said true? Did Justin really cause her daughter's death?"Newton's pupils constricted. He closed his eyes, as if trying to avoid Alyssa's questions. Alyssa's gaze sharpened. "Grandpa Newton, your reaction has already answered my question."Newton remained silent. "I know what's on your mind. Justin is Mr. Javier's eldest son, and he grew up right alongside you. Even though you might favor Jasper, you wouldn't want something from the past to tarnish Justin's reputation. After all, he was still a minor back then. No matter what he's done, as a Beckett, you'll do anything to protect him."Alyssa's words hit the mark, each one piercing with precision. She continued, "But you also believe his actions were unforgivable. You've been angry but too afraid to expose him. Keepin

    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

    Sheryl's eyes lit up. "And what might that reason be?"Justin's lips curved into a faint smirk, his voice calm yet carrying a cold, ethereal tone. "Besides Ms. Alyssa, there's another woman who holds great significance to Jasper. She's the only one who can compel him to act without hesitation." Remy, usually a man of few words, abruptly spoke up. "Is she the one you've mentioned before? The woman who saved Jasper on the battlefield?""After Jasper retired from the military, he was plagued by PTSD. He came back shattered, dispirited, even on the brink of taking his own life."During that time, I often spoke with him over the phone, urging him to hold on, to keep living. I reminded him that if I could endure this half-disabled existence, then surely, he could find a reason to go on."Justin's tone was leisurely, as though recounting something insignificant. He continued, "I told him that if he were gone, what would become of Beckett Group? More than that, he would leave Dad and G
