LOGINAll of a sudden, something flickered in Winston's dark, lifeless eyes. It was as if a hole had been torn through the very core of his being, sending cracks splintering across his entire world in an instant. A familiar, crushing pain seized his chest again—so intense that he let out a low groan and clutched at his heart. "Mr. Taylor!" Neil rushed forward and caught Winston as he trembled, steadying him with both hands. He shot Anthony a sharp look, barely holding back his anger. "Mr. Stewart, if you have something to say, just say it. Mr. Taylor has only just recovered from his illness. He doesn't have the strength to go back and forth with you like this!""I'll get straight to the point, then." In an instant, all warmth vanished from Anthony's face. A cold, commanding authority settled over him as he declared, "I intend to acknowledge my son and bring him home. I will also name him the heir to the throne." Neil's chest heaved as his hands curled into tight fists. Felicity
Alyssa's jaw dropped. "Someone from the royal family?" The first person who came to mind was Yuliana. Had she been cast out by the royal family? With nowhere else to go, had she come here seeking refuge, and perhaps to see Liam?"You know what? I'll just tell her!" Impatient as ever, Colene blurted out, "It's the king of Kontina. Wait… Do they call him His Majesty? Whatever. It's Kontina's king, and he's here at our house!"Alyssa gasped. "What?" Lyla's eyes were filled with concern. "He's in your father's study right now, meeting with him. Your brothers are all waiting outside, but Winston isn't letting anyone in. We're worried, but there's nothing we can do."Alyssa felt a sudden sense of foreboding, as if something momentous was about to unfold. Without another word, she turned and hurried out. "I'm going to take a look!" …The atmosphere in the study was tense—heavy enough to suffocate. Winston sat across from the king of Kontina, Anthony Stewart. Though neither spoke,
Night fell over Seaview Manor. Jasper sat in his study, reviewing the corporation's recent internal records alongside the two documents from Newton. Removing Justin from the company wouldn't be difficult. But truly bringing him down? That was another matter entirely. Just then, his phone rang on the desk. The name on the screen made his heart skip a beat. It read, "Lyse."Jasper took a deep breath and cleared his throat, which was still rough from cigarette smoke. Once he had steadied himself, he answered the call. "Jasper, something terrible has happened!" Alyssa exclaimed, her voice tight with panic. Jasper's breath hitched. "Are you okay?"Without hesitation, she was the first person on his mind. "I'm fine. It's not about me; it's about your psychotic older brother."Alyssa's normally gentle voice turned grave. "Cyrus just told me about two vehicles discovered this evening on a highway south of Solana City. There were four bodies inside. One of them was Gustav Holm,
"Justin, you psycho! You'll die a horrible death… Karma will come for you. The heavens will punish you!" Sheryl shrieked.She moved faster than a human could. In a blur, Justin was on the floor and Sheryl was over him, clamping her teeth down on his ear like a feral beast. She bit down hard—so hard she tore off a piece of flesh. The searing pain sent a numbing shock through Justin's scalp, his vision blurring. He thrashed wildly, kicking and struggling. But Sheryl clung to him like a vice, refusing to let go no matter how he fought back. Rage burned in her bloodshot eyes as she kept her jaws locked onto his ear like a rabid animal. She had suppressed herself for far too long—controlled, restrained, broken. At last, she could cast off every inhibition and unleash her madness on this despicable man. For once, she was living for herself. Realizing his ear was about to be torn off, Justin, in desperation, grabbed the whip lying nearby. Without hesitation, he looped it around Sh
"If you had any brains at all," Justin said coldly, "the laboratory at Domere Mountain wouldn't have been wiped out. Don't you think you should pay for such a foolish failure?""Remy was the one who betrayed you… not me…" Sheryl rasped, clutching the sheets tightly. "What did that fucking incident have to do with me? Isn't this… all because of your own arrogance… your blind confidence in yourself?"If you hadn't trusted him so much… If you'd listened to me and gotten rid of him earlier… things wouldn't have turned out like this, would they?"The words poured out, carrying all the resentment she had buried for so long. She had endured everything in silence, believing that if she gave him her loyalty, he would at least grant her a dignified end. She had been wrong. Everything had been a one-sided delusion. She had been used, manipulated, drained of all value, then discarded like trash. She was a fool. A complete fool!"Say whatever you like," Justin replied indifferently. "I wo
"Tonight?" Gustav blurted out—not in fear, but in sheer surprise. "I-I haven't prepared anything.""You don't need to," Justin said calmly. "I've already arranged everything."He slowly opened his eyes, a cruel smile curling at his lips. "Head over there now. Intercept their vehicle and take them out on the spot. You won't need to worry about anything else. Someone will handle the aftermath."I spiked their drinks earlier. The drugs should be kicking in soon. All you have to do is finish the job."Still puzzled, Gustav frowned. "Then why not just poison him outright? He was on your turf. Wouldn't that have been easier?"Justin let out a cold laugh, "Mr. Holm, since you've chosen to follow me, shouldn't you prove your worth? If I do everything myself, what exactly are you here for?"Gustav's expression stiffened. "Understood. I'll catch up with them now.""As long as you get rid of him tonight, ten million dollars will be transferred to your account immediately."Gustav's eyes l
"Did you mean that?" Cyrus jumped. He turned around immediately. He hadn't realized that Lauren was behind him. She was hugging a brown fluffy teddy tightly and looking at him sheepishly. Lauren looked adorable to him at that moment. Cyrus's gaze became slightly deeper. He laughed light-heartedly an
Alyssa looked up into his eyes which burned with passion. She understood him well even without exchanging words.Alyssa, Jasper, and Xavier went to the top floor past a narrow corridor and stood in front of the door of the innermost unit. Before they could knock, an old woman with a walking stick slo
Landon swallowed hard as he felt a burning passion ignite within him. He had decided what position he wanted to make love to his delicate wife."Pervert!" Biting her red lips, Alyssa forcefully jabbed Jasper in the ribs with her elbow.The three of them took their seats back in the living hall.After
Alyssa was frustrated. She put her palm to her forehead and exclaimed, "Cyrus, I can't believe how thoughtless you are!" Jasper felt his jaw tense up. His head was spinning. Just as he was trying to come up with what to do next, a few chatty female students walked out of the school's back gate. They
