All of a sudden, Landon recalled that he was in a hospital and did not end up lighting the cigarette. After a pause, Jasper inhaled deeply and said in a hushed voice, "Landon, I think … I might have fallen for Alyssa."What the heck? The cigarette between Landon's lips trembled. He came very close to leaping out of his seat in shock.Everyone could see that Jasper was smitten with Alyssa, except for Jasper himself. Yet, hearing him admit it was both refreshing and cathartic."I am in love with her. That's why I want her back by my side. I'd like to try pursuing her," Jasper confessed in a shaky voice and raised his head. He had a deep and sincere look in his eyes."You, going after the opposite sex? Are you sure you can do that?" Landon pressed on with an astonished look."There is a first time for everything. I'll have to give it a shot," Jasper replied. He cast a judgmental glance at Landon. "Even if my attempt fails, I still have you as my advisor, albeit an ineffective one."

Jasper and Alyssa were alone in the room after Landon left. Alyssa had learned from Xavier that Jasper had coughed up a significant amount of blood earlier that day, and this news deeply troubled her.If Jasper couldn't survive this ordeal, or if he suffered from long-term side effects, she'd never be able to make up to him. The burden of guilt would haunt her every day.She went up to his bed with a sour face and grabbed his wrist. Then, she started checking his pulse.His eyes widened. Alyssa looked as serious as an experienced doctor. She announced, "Your condition is not looking great. You need to take your medications right away. You cannot wait until the next day!"She was angered by his condition. Just as Alyssa was about to release his hand, he surprised her by wrapping her small, cold hand with his own.His action took her aback. Her breathing was caught in her throat."I can tell it's super cold out there from your hand." Jasper's rough fingertips lightly massaged the

"I love you, Alyssa Taylor. I've fallen for you."Alyssa held her breath and stumbled backward without knowing it. Only she would understand the mixed feelings from hearing Jasper's love confession.They could hear each other's heart beating in the silence."I would have accepted your confession right away if it happened in the three years we were married. But it's too late now. I told you before that my feelings for you had expired. I no longer love you," Alyssa responded with a stoic look in her eyes."I'm sorry. I know my confession comes too late, but I'm not one to give up when I set my mind to something," Jasper argued, his forehead dotted with sweat. He wanted to go up to her but feared that he might scare her off. "It's fine if you don't love me. I'll be the one who sacrifices for you this time around. I'll—"He wanted to say, "I'll love you". He never told Liana he loved her, but he had an urge to use the word on Alyssa."Enough. I do not need the love from a man I'm n

Right after Alyssa entered Jasper's room, Sean immediately got a call from Liam. He picked up. "Hi, Mr. Liam.""Sean, as her secretary, why didn't you immediately report her whereabouts to us?" Liam interrogated Sean right away. "Why are you at the Solana City Memorial Hospital with Lyse? Is she there to see Jasper Beckett?"Jonah chimed in calmly, "Liam, calm down."Liam, usually gentle, was only out of character when it came to matters concerning his sister's well-being. Sean was shocked by Liam's intel and gasped, "Mr. Liam, how … how did you know? We kept it a secret!""GPS tracking."Jonah sighed helplessly. "Liam almost put to use his method to track criminals. Tracking down Lyse was a piece of cake."Sean was rendered speechless."Liam, stop worrying about Lyse. Even if you scold her, given her character, she will not listen to you and come home. Just let her be. She's an adult," advised Jonah, who seemed unbothered by the incident."I will station a team of guards to

Jasper also clutched his sleeve and struggled with the weight of guilt and pain.Alyssa had been wrong about him. He wanted to tell her that his feelings were not fleeting. Was his love worthless just because he discovered it late?13 years ago, he had gone through a life-and-death experience with her. Years later, they went through the same thing. They seemed fated to be with each other.For the first time, he felt the pain of not being able to express himself. It was a suffocating feeling. Still, he remained silent because it was not the time to make lofty declarations. He needed to show his love through actions.Although Alyssa's fever had subsided, she still felt a little weak, especially after the trouble she was put through in the past three days. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow without even keeping guard against Jasper.Meanwhile, Jasper fixed his eyes on her, like a guardian, without any hint of sleepiness.When he confirmed that she was asleep, he ro

When Alyssa opened the lid of the food containers, her eyes widened at the array of Belbanks delicacies. The plating was immaculate, and the food was both aromatic and delicious. To her surprise, those were all her favorite dishes at home. Her stomach rumbled."I heard that Jasper Beckett sent his people to buy the food from Belbanks at 5:00 am. The containers are insulated, so the food is still hot," Sean explained robotically as he laid out the breakfast.He was well aware that Jasper had made a move to pursue Alyssa. Sean had been in love with Alyssa and did not want to interfere in her love life, but he didn't want her to date Jasper."Is he crazy? Nobody wanted him to do that!" Despite her complaints, she couldn't help but shove a hashbrown into her mouth and chew away happily.Sean smiled wryly at her reaction.Suddenly, they heard a raspy voice that almost sent Alyssa choking on her food. "Ms. Alyssa, is the food delicious?"She coughed violently and pressed a hand aga

Jasper didn't have a choice. The men surrounding Alyssa were all distinguished in their own right. Now, he had another Taylor sibling to worry about—Liam, the young colonel."Lyse, he didn't do anything to you, did he?" Liam held Alyssa's shoulders and examined her from head to toe."I'm fine! Let's leave, Liam," suggested Alyssa. She tried to drag Liam away, worried that war would break out between Liam and Jasper at any second.To her dismay, her worst fear came true. Liam addressed the others coldly, "Jonah, Sean, please leave with Alyssa. I'll join you shortly.""Liam!" Alyssa called out to him, her tone tinged with concern. She knitted her brows."Lyse, let's go." Jonah wrapped an arm across her shoulder and gave Jasper a knowing look. He then whispered in Alyssa's ear, "You know Liam is the calmest and the gentlest of all, don't you? Don't worry. He knows where to draw the line."She let out a sigh and left with Jonah. After all, it was unlikely that anything serious wo

Xavier stood in the corridor outside the patient room and glanced warily at the two lines of guards standing there. Their uniform posture and cold demeanor sent a chill down his spine.The door to Jasper's room flung open, followed by the heavy thud of military boots.Liam showed up with a stoic expression while adjusting his beret. After years of strict military training, he was able to keep a poker face at any time.The guards immediately performed a military salute."Let's go," Liam calmly ordered his men and whooshed past Xavier. The guards followed suit, and peace was restored in the corridor.Xavier gaped at Liam's handsome figure. He was charmed by Liam's masculine and regal air. Liam's presence made clear to him that some people were born to be special.When he was spacing out, Jasper had exited the room with a dark expression and heavy footsteps."Mr. Beckett, don't push yourself. You're not in the condition to be discharged!" Xavier advised. He wanted to lend Jasper a

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
