At the same time, Alyssa leaped out of bed, but since she hadn't fully recovered, the sudden movement made her lightheaded and caused her to stagger. Suddenly, she felt a strong, steady arm wrap around her supple waist as Jasper's warm, reassuring presence surrounded her. "Be careful." Almost instinctively, Jasper tightened his arms and pulled her closer.A single tear rolled down Alyssa's cheek as she leaned against his chest and wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist. She had decided to go all in. Even if the world were to end the next moment, she wanted to hold him close. He was Jasper Beckett—the person she loved the most. "W-Whenever I-I try to think about the past… even for a moment… I get struck by an agonizing headache." Though Remy felt slightly better after drinking some warm water, he still trembled from the pain. "All these years, whenever my headaches hit… Justin would give me a medication he claimed co
Home…This unfamiliar yet welcoming word left a deep imprint on Remy's pounding, fragile heart, sending sorrow and warmth surging through his chest at the same time. After a moment of silence, he spoke, not even noticing the faint tremble in his chapped lips."Thank you, Jasper." …Amber was rushed to the Taylor family's hospital for emergency treatment. Her life now hung in the balance. Meanwhile, Axel stood outside the emergency room, stiff as a board. From behind, his upright figure resembled a desolate, timeless statue. "Amber… my dearest…" Axel's bloodshot eyes filled with tears. Slowly, the tall man sank to the ground—first to one knee, then the other. Pressing his palms together, he muttered, "You have always been so resilient. You have to hang in there. I beg you… Don't leave me here on my own… "If there really is a God, I'm willing to give up the rest of my years in exchange for my darling Amber's health and safety from now on." He had once been a cold realist,
Jasper gazed into Remy's frosty eyes. "What about you? How did you end up following Justin?"Remy's eyes were dark, like a bottomless abyss devoid of light. "To be frank, I have no idea."Jasper frowned. "You don't?""When I came to, I was lying in a special ward. It didn't look like a hospital ward—more like a regular room with a really nice ambience. I couldn't move a muscle. My entire body was connected to tubes, and I was in so much pain that it felt as if all the bones in my body had been shattered and reconstructed…"Remy thought back to the ward that was filled with sunlight—the place where he first met Justin. The lake outside the window was as clear as glass, and he could see the shadows of trees swaying back and forth. Justin sat in his wheelchair by the window, backlit by the sun. He greeted Remy warmly. "Wonderful. You're finally awake. All that hard work wasn't wasted."Over the next six months, Justin visited him almost daily. He talked with him, brought him delici
Though the buzz in the helicopter cabin was deafening, the moment Remy uttered those words, it was as if everything fell completely silent. To be frank, deep down in Jasper's heart, he was slowly beginning to rediscover his feelings for Alyssa. In fact, his frozen heart fluttered every time he laid eyes on her. Whenever he saw her with Justin, his heart would race uncontrollably, and a throbbing pain would pulse through his head.If he hadn't forced himself to suppress his feelings, the violent headache—so intense it felt as if his skull might shatter—would make death seem like mercy. The pain was unbearable, making his limbs cramp and his breathing difficult. So how could he possibly go against Justin or protect Alyssa?"Some things aren't just about letting someone down. It's not that simple."Jasper's eyes dimmed slightly. With practiced precision, he used a pair of tweezers to remove the bullet lodged deep in Remy's left shoulder. Even so, Remy only furrowed his brow slightl
On the screen of Justin's phone, the incoming call showed a private number. Justin's eyes darkened, and the muscles along his chiseled jaw tightened. He slowly picked up his phone and swiped to answer. "Hello?" From the other end came Zachary's relaxed, mocking voice. "How have you been, my dear Justin?" Justin inhaled sharply but remained silent for a beat. In a falsely light-hearted tone, he replied, "I've been well. Thanks for asking, Uncle Zachary." "Blood is thicker than water. We're family. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."Zachary chuckled. Then he continued, "I heard about what happened in Solana City tonight, even though I'm all the way in Mosgravia. As the mastermind, you actually staged such an exciting police raid for the members of Kings' Club."How much did you lose this time? One billion dollars? Or two? That's too much for you to make up for, isn't it?"All the color drained from Justin's face. He clenched his fists, his knuckles crack
But in the end, this was all Remy's fault. He was the traitor. With Remy as her scapegoat, Justin would likely not be too harsh on her, even if he held her accountable for the disaster. After all, he had lost Remy—one of his right-hand men. He would have to keep her, his remaining right-hand confidant, close. …In the dimly lit study on the top floor of the six-story manor, Justin's usual elegance and composure had vanished. In their place was an unprecedented fury bordering on madness.The study looked as though it had been ravaged by war. The destruction was appalling.Sheryl stood there, pale as a sheet, trembling uncontrollably."Get on your knees." Justin stood by the window, gripping the sill so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. The tension in his neck and shoulders was unmistakable. Even beneath his white shirt, his muscles quivered faintly. Sheryl could not clearly see his expression. Fortunately, she could not—otherwise, she might have been t
Alyssa had always been like that. She would be completely focused on an object of her interest and fall into a world of her own.Suddenly, it occurred to her that Jameson was waiting for her. She quickly spun around to find him patiently standing on the side, this time with a straw basket in his hand

Liana attracted stares from the hospital staff when she was dragged toward the entrance. Her ego was the last thing she cared about because she had nothing left to lose."Ouch!"Xavier and the bodyguard let go of her at the same time. She fell onto the ground in disgrace."Dude, do you have a napkin?"
"But Mr. Javier and Madam Sophia adore you! You can be my spy and send me intel. We'll win against Alyssa if we team up!" Zoe's eyes shimmered with desire.Betty perked up at the mention of taking down Alyssa. "Okay! Deal. Let's see if that will put a dent in her arrogance!"Zoe crossed her arms on he
