Jameson froze up on the spot, his heart clenching painfully for a brief second.Alyssa had fumed so hard her cheeks had gone flushed again. She glared at Jasper, yelling, "How low are you stooping now, Jasper Beckett? Let me go now! I am not going anywhere with you!"Jasper let her scream and pull, never letting go throughout. He felt like nothing more mattered in this world right now besides taking Alyssa away from this place, from this stranger.Seeing her being in a room alone with the stranger, having drunk so much, was unbearable for him. He never expected Alyssa to be capable of something like this."Let me go, Jasper, right—ah!"Jasper bent down and lifted her over his shoulder, hand locking on her waist as he marched straight for the door."Put me down, you jacka—I'm gonna hurl!" Alyssa cried, beating at his shoulder with all her might. Her stomach was churning so badly. She was going to retch at any time."I'm not stopping you." Jasper eyed her sternly and continued wal

"Not one bit!" Jasper snarled, not holding back his thoughts."Hahaha … You're out of your mind, Beckett!" Alyssa yelled, pulling her hand away from his grip. "What? You can have the love of your life, but I can't see anyone else? What kind of monopolistic, egoistic bullshit is this? I'm not some slave, you jackass!"Her words stabbed into Jasper's heart like blades.He recalled how close Alyssa had been in proximity with the spectacled man, and fury rose in his being once again. Her gaze had been molten and warm, and what could have happened next made Jasper dread.All he felt now was the need to possess her, to keep her and shield her from everyone else."Interesting private life you have, Ms. Alyssa." Pain, rage, and jealousy coursed through Jasper's chest. "Why such a big room all to yourselves? Worried you won't have enough fun?"He was trying to enrage her, to upset her, yet all he seemed to be doing was making himself even more upset. "Pft, hahahah!" Alyssa tossed he

Alyssa walked back to her VIP room. She was sober, and her good mood had dissipated. What kind of coincidence was she experiencing to be able to meet Jasper here, of all places? Maybe she should get a lucky charm or something to keep her from this shitty luck.Just then, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her arm.Alyssa looked at who it was and smiled when she saw it was Tatiana. "I'm … I'm okay, Taty.""Was that … Was that your ex-husband, sis?" Tatiana asked curiously."Mhm.""Wow! He's so hot!" Tatiana's eyes were wide with admiration. "I thought Jonah, Silas, Liam, and Axel were handsome already. I didn't expect anyone else to be able to top them. "Your ex has that kind of striking hotness, like a beach model or something. Is he really just a company CEO and not some kind of superstar?"Alyssa cupped her forehead, scowling, "Striking hotness, my ass … He's not even an oven.""No wonder Mom said he was hotter than Kris Hensworth! I didn't believe her at first, because s

Tatiana couldn't take her eyes off of her sister. The scene was even more thrilling than watching an actual action film."You got this, Alyssa!" she cried. Alyssa dodged their assailant's ankle sweep, scowling internally. Was this the time to cheerlead?"Call the cops, Taty!""Oh, okay!" Tatiana quickly took out her phone.Their assailant could never have imagined that his target would be so skilled and equipped to fight back despite how gentle and frail she looked. Seeing that fighting this one would end in defeat, he turned his attention to Tatiana.When he struck out, Tatiana dropped her phone in shock and quickly closed her eyes, fear filling her being.A low grunt made her reopen her eyes.Alyssa had leaped to her defense, using her arm as a shield against the man's sharp blade. The blade sliced through her sleeve and skin, and blood instantly poured out in thick red streams."Alyssa!" Tatiana screamed, bursting into tears.Her sister panted heavily, putting pressure

Liana was getting blood transfusions at Solana City's private hospital's emergency room.Her face had been so pale earlier that she appeared almost lifeless. The gash on her wrist had been equally gruesome, resembling a grim, bloody snarl.Her mother paced nervously in the hallway, her eyes swollen from countless tears."Alright, that's enough. You're not a child anymore, so stop crying before someone takes a picture and sends it to the newspapers!" Andrew said sternly."So what? My daughter is still in danger! She could leave us at any moment! What kind of father are you if your own pride matters more than your daughter?" Rosaline cried. She grabbed her husband's collar and cried hysterically. "I can't bear to see Liana following in Dylan's footsteps!"Andrew's face turned as purple as a raisin, scrunched up with anger. First, his daughter had done something reckless all because of a man, and now his wife was causing a scene in public. Feeling embarrassed in front of Javier,

"Calm down? Calm down? I don't even know if my daughter will survive the night! She has shed tears and blood for you, Jasper. She might not even live to see another day! Don't tell me to calm down!" Rosaline screamed. She continued, "If you didn't love my Lia, then why did you lie to her? Why did you promise you would marry her? My Lia is too sweet a girl. When you wanted to kill yourself all those years ago, she rescued you! How could you do this to her? Have you no heart?"Jasper's heart ached dully. Those dark memories flooded his chest and mind, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. Those memories consumed his thoughts until they were all he could think about.…Alyssa had been sent to the hospital to have her wound bandaged up, thanks to Jameson Schmidt. She had asked Sean to stay back and look after Tatiana. She was concerned that Tatiana would be frightened by the sight of her injury.Meanwhile, Tatiana kept blaming herself for her sister's accident, making Sean's

Alyssa froze in surprise, then slowly turned around.Once again, it was him. Jasper felt like the ground was sinking as he watched Alyssa stand beside the man from earlier. He looked down and noticed her heavily bandaged arm. His heart clenched at that sight. He instinctively took a step forth. "Your arm—"Alyssa swiftly stepped back behind Jameson.Nervously, Jasper gulped when he locked eyes with the other man."People say the third time's the charm. However, I usually make sure it ends the second time," Jameson said deliberately, adjusting his spectacles. "You've taken her away from me once tonight. Do you think I'd allow it a second time?""Who are you?" Jasper asked frostily.Having learned his lesson with Alyssa's brothers, he worried that this might be another one of Winston Taylor's sons. However, Alyssa gazed at the man differently, a look distinct from the one she used with her brothers. "He's someone with a closer relationship to me than you, someone more importan

Alyssa was seeing someone else now.Jasper clutched his chest, wondering why the pain was so intense. It felt as if someone had carved a hole behind his ribs. It was only at this moment that the realization of their divorce struck him like a freight train of bricks.…When Sean saw Alyssa and Jameson emerge from the elevator in the underground parking lot, he hurried over. "Ms. Alyssa! How's the injury?""All taken care of. What about our attacker?" "I've had someone escort him back home, undercover. He's currently at our private headquarters. There's no way he can escape," Sean whispered to her."Great! We're going to have loads of fun for the next few days." Alyssa grinned devilishly.Sean nodded. "Whenever you're ready, Ms. Alyssa.""Wait for me by the car. I want to talk to the guy first." Alyssa then turned back to Jameson.Jameson gazed steadily at her, leaning against his sleek Bentley like a marble Adonis."You've seen my relationship with Mr. Beckett. It's more co

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's
