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

"Silas, let go! You're going to suffocate Lyse," exclaimed Liam.Then, he hurriedly pried Alyssa from Silas' grip when he noticed Alyssa's eyes bulging and her tongue hanging out."Tsk tsk. How interesting! I've only heard of lovers dying for each other, never between a brother and sister!" Cyrus joked and shoved a piece of grilled chicken into his mouth.Tatiana covered her mouth and snorted. She had always been quiet around her older brothers, but she nearly spat her drink at that moment after hearing Cyrus' words.Jonah feared that Tatiana would choke and pat her on the back. He teased, "Silas, stop fooling around with Lyse. She's gone through enough.""You really don't know me, do you? I'm just concerned about her!" Silas retorted. He refused to let go of Alyssa's hand despite Liam having taken her away. The family gathering looked more like a telenovela."By the way, did you receive any award for that woman you courageously saved?" Cyrus asked in curiosity."I fainted after

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
