Alyssa left the villa and entered Landon's luxury car. Landon quipped, "Lyse, it's rare that you're willing to spend time with me."His eyes were always seductive. He watched the beautiful Alyssa with a grin."I've become more aware of my boundaries now, but I'm concerned that my jealous friend, Jasper, might be upset if he finds out we're chatting here. He's still unwell.""Do you think I would be in the same space with you if it hadn't been for Lauren?" She folded her legs and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Landon Harper, you're a notorious charmer. Did your preference for women shift to our innocent Lauren because you're tired of the sexy ladies you dated?"At the mention of Lauren's name, a shiver coursed through Landon. He responded with a shaky voice, "Lyse, you know about Lauren and me?"Alyssa replied with a smirk, "You and her? You're confusing me now.""Lyse, look, I don't want to hide this from you any longer," Landon said. He took a deep breath and, wi

"Or perhaps, you think of Lauren as the least important Beckett daughter. Do you only deem her good enough as a mistress, not a wife?""Alyssa Taylor! How could you—" Landon snapped at her. This was the first time in his life that he had felt genuine anger toward her. It suddenly became clear to him why Jasper would frequently cough up blood—it must have been because of Alyssa."Enough. There's no point in arguing. I'm all for true love, but I refuse to watch Lauren suffer by your side," she concluded. Her eyes welled up with tears at the thought of Lauren, who had endured abuse at home.She pleaded, "Life has been harsh for Lauren. I don't want to see her endure more suffering. Landon, you come from a complicated world, which would be a burden for Lauren. Please think this over."…After taking Jasper to the hospital, Landon returned home, utterly drained.He considered the villa he shared with Lauren his home. He might have a mom and a sister, but his mom had been depressed e

"Shall we sleep?" Landon blurted it out without much thought, but he instantly regretted it.He sounded like a pervert whose only thought was to get it on. That wasn't what he had intended."I'm not sleepy," Lauren finally said softly. "I just wanted some quiet time.""Oh. I'll keep you company," he offered, gently caressing her nape. "I won't sleep if you're awake. If you find me bothersome, I'll sit beside you quietly. You'll need someone to get you drinks and food when you're thirsty or hungry, isn't that right?""What if I stay up all night?""I'll stay up with you.""Alright then. Go ahead and sleep," she softly urged him, still not looking up.Feeling dejected, he sighed heavily and said, "If you'd rather I leave, I will." With that, he made a move to get up.Lauren suddenly grabbed his arm and held it tightly as her breathing quickened."Lauren?" He was taken aback."Please don't go, Landon! Don't leave!" she pleaded, looking up with trembling lips and tear-streake

"Of course," Lauren answered."It's different from just liking me as a person," Landon said, clearing his throat. He explained in embarrassment, "It's … the kind of feelings that Jasper has for Alyssa."Her clear, bright eyes wavered. She toyed with the intricate button on his dark shirt and stammered, "I-I don't know."He silently sighed and smiled wryly at her. "Alright. Go sleep now.""But I like to be with you. I can't do anything right when you're not at home because I'm worried. I'll wait for you to come home. Time flies when I'm with you. Looking at you makes me happy," she mumbled, her eyes half-closed.His breath grew heavy, and his palms started sweating as he held her.She confessed, "One day, you came home late. I pretended to be asleep when you checked on me in the bedroom, but I had been awake all along."His chest tightened. That night, he and Angelina had gone out to get rid of two dissenters in Harper Group who had turned out to be Preston's men.He had always

Zoe was terrorized by Landon's wrath. She had witnessed him teaching Donna and Gary a lesson. He hadn't even spared Gary, who had been serving him for years. The punishment he had inflicted on Gary seemed almost fatal.All of this chaos was because of Lauren. Zoe couldn't fathom why Landon would go to such lengths for an idiot. In comparison, she felt that she had been reduced to a joke as his sister.After leaving the villa, she returned to the Harper Residence with a resentful scowl. Throughout the journey, she couldn't hold back her tears when she reminisced about how Landon had used to spoil her.Amidst her anger, Zoe made a resolute decision. No matter what, she was determined to come between Landon and Lauren. She would never accept Lauren as her sister-in-law."Zoe, you're finally home!" Penelope called out. She teared up after a long separation from her daughter and came out to hug Zoe. "My darling, I thought your flight had landed earlier. Why are you only home now? I wa

Zoe's eyes burned with anger, and she trembled as she shared, "Landon hasn't been around for a long time because he's living with Lauren Beckett! He's even bought a place for her!"Penelope felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her, and her face paled."I hate Sophia and Betty, and I wouldn't want Lauren as my future sister-in-law. But Landon is infatuated with her! He raised his voice at me for that woman, and he even—" Zoe deliberately paused for suspense."What else did he do to you?""He hit me!" Zoe said, tears rolling down like a waterfall."Where did he hit you?""My face! He slapped me in front of his staff and that Beckett bitch! Mom, my face hurts!" Zoe moaned and reached for a hug as she cried her heart out.Penelope's heart ached for her beloved daughter. Her eldest son, who had always been obedient, had had the audacity to fight with his sister over Sophia's daughter. She couldn't help but wonder if Landon might one day sever ties with her, his own mother, as w

Lyla took a few seconds to get used to the bright light before her eyes widened in shock.A mannequin stood before her, dressed in a grand yet elegant red and black gown, its flowing train blooming like that of a dark rose. "It … it's beautiful," Lyla exclaimed, dazed."Lyse had that internationally-renowned designer, Sharon, make this just for you, Lyla!" Mandy cooed, holding onto Lyla's shoulders. "My goodness, and here I thought I had seen it all. I still feel like squealing in joy seeing Sharon's design before my eyes! It's absolutely gorgeous!"Alyssa had long been used to the world's praise for her designs under her alias, Sharon. Still, it couldn't beat the joy and pride she felt upon hearing praise from her own family.She silently basked in her joy, grinning."Sharon? This is too precious, Lyse!" Lyla cried, holding Alyssa's hand. Her cheeks were flushed with joy and bashfulness. "You must have put in a lot of money and effort to get this made, right? You really did

It was as if the sea itself had been crystallized into a single piece of jewelry."Thank you, Lyse …" Lyla croaked out tearfully. "I love it! Thank you so much …""I didn't want to use a more precious stone, lest Winston's gift pale in comparison, and I thought a lighter shade of crystal like this one was far more suitable for you." Alyssa beamed at her. "I enjoy crafting my designs according to the wearer's personality and aura. The fact that I designed it makes it exceed in value far more than the value of the crystal itself."Mandy and Colene then led Lyla to unveil the presents they had gotten for her.When Alyssa's phone began ringing, she stepped out into the hallway to check on it."Hello?" She answered in a flat tone."I called to report my status to you, Ms. Alyssa. I'm feeling much better now." Jasper's voice was especially tender tonight and irresistibly sensual. "Next time you would like to know how I'm doing, please don't hesitate to call me instead of going thro

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
