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

At that moment, Tatiana stood up with a wine glass in her hand. "Why don't we drink a toast to Lyse? Here's to you reaching new heights in your career, and may everything go smoothly for you.""Gosh, I love what you just said. Come, I'll give you a kiss!" Alyssa chirped and downed her wine before blowing a kiss to her sister.Tatiana lowered her gaze shyly and blushed."Let's all drink to Lyse! All the best for Lyse! Cheers!" The other siblings raised their glass tipsily and passionately.The sincere faces around Alyssa and the clinking of glasses brought tears to her eyes.…The dinner ended on a high note. Alyssa hugged Liam warmly. They had been laughing and joking during dinner, but when it was time to go, they both teared up.Liam's division was stationed not too far away in Leichtown. However, his demanding role required frequent months-long trips, which did not allow him many chances to reunite with his family."Will you be back for Lyla's birthday?" Alyssa ran her hand

Tatiana instantly sobered up when Sean hugged her. Her entire face and neck blushed from the exchange between them."Ms. Tatiana, look out," Sean warned. He thought she was drunk from the way she failed to steady herself. Concerned, he pulled her closer with his hand on her waist.All of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat, and his throat went dry. He couldn't help but admire Tatiana's tiny waist in his grip.Still, as a gentleman, he quickly pulled himself together without betraying any hint of desire."Sean, please send Taty back. Thanks!" Alyssa yelled. She had always been observant, but she was much more relaxed and careless around family. Up until then, she failed to pick up the subtle tension between Sean and Tatiana.She waved at them and left, arm-in-arm with Jonah. It was only Tatiana and Sean alone after that. The air between them froze, leaving them rather flustered."Um, Lyse! Lyse!" Tatiana called out feebly, her heart pumping wild.Sean reassured her with a straig

On their way home, Alyssa grew drowsy as she rested her head on Jonah's shoulder. She had initially planned to ask Jonah what Liam had said to Jasper, but she quickly dismissed the thought, knowing it likely wasn't pleasant. Liam might appear soft and kind, but he could be more sharp-tongued than she was.She didn't want to hear what Liam had said about Jasper, not because she felt sorry for Jasper. Rather, she would be upset if her family disrespected the man she once loved with all her heart."Lyse, are you asleep?" Jonah suddenly whispered."No. What is it, Jonah?" she replied, her mind drifting."Can you sense it, too?"She cast him a confounding look.Jonah smiled. "Did you notice something between Sean and Taty? I could be mistaken, but I have a feeling they might be flirting."Oh.Wait. Flirting?She widened her eyes as she stared agape at him. "Jonah, did you have too much to drink? You're joking, right?""I don't joke about matters of the heart. You probably di

Alyssa's chest felt heavy, and she instinctively curled her numb fingers in response to the unsettling sensation.She couldn't help but wonder why Jasper had never treated Alice White as kindly as he had treated her, Alyssa Taylor."Jonah, I know my likes and dislikes. Maybe you're right—a relationship is never black and white, but that doesn't apply to me because I know what I want," she declared in a teary voice and gazed out the window. "My relationship with Jasper is complicated, but I no longer have any affection for him. I'll never repeat my mistake—wasting my youth on a man is a silly decision with no reward," Alyssa asserted. …Silence enveloped Sean and Tatiana as they journeyed back to her campus, each lost in their thoughts. The Porsche came to a halt at the school's quiet entrance in the middle of the night.Seated in the car, they both seemed to share an unspoken agreement not to get out. The crescent moon cast a soft light over the land, adding a romantic touch to

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
