Alyssa sped her car all the way back to her place in Solana City, emotions tumultuous.

She had aimed for Sophia when she went to Seaview Manor earlier, yet on the way back home, all she could recall was how Jasper pressed her up against the wall.

The man's eyes had locked onto her, filled with a deep sadness. There was exasperation and desperation in his anger that Alyssa couldn't forget, no matter what. Her grip around the steering wheel tightened, making her fingers numb.

Jasper's gaze had been so sincere.

But what could that prove?

Try as he might, Jasper couldn't conceal the fact that he had slept with Zoe.

Alyssa glumly walked out of the car, only to find Jonah, Cyrus, and Sean standing outside the front gates.

"Lyse!"

"Jonah, Cyrus, Sean! What are you three doing here?" Alyssa asked, surprised.

"Cyrus told me you went to Seaview Manor alone, not even bringing Sean with you. What were you thinking—taking on everybody by yourself?" Jonah said with a sigh.

    Alyssa could see how Jameson slowly lowered his head into his arms, only revealing his bright eyes.Those eyes conveyed a lonely emotion, as if he were some wounded animal. Alyssa recalled how Jameson had this very same look in his eyes 15 years ago when Victor punished him by making him stand outside in the pouring rain."Fuck me. When did he arrive here? There wasn't a sound at all. What is he? A ghost?" Cyrus shivered, chills shooting up his spine.Jonah glanced at Jameson, then turned back to Alyssa. "Did he follow you over to the Becketts' place?"Alyssa hummed in acknowledgment. Just then, Jameson's car engine revved up. It swiftly U-turned back the way he came, disappearing into the night."Huh? Is he leaving just like that?" Cyrus frowned. "Why are all the people who try to court you so strange, Lyse? From jackass-of-the-year to stalker supreme. How could we not be worried about your safety when you're out alone now, Lyse?""Let's get to the point here." Alyssa didn't w

    After a whole night of expending energy, Landon finally slumped back to his and Lauren's love nest.Snow began to fall even before he reached the house. When he arrived, Angelina was already waiting for him outside the front gate with an umbrella. "Welcome back, sir." Angelina nodded respectfully when Landon exited the car. She then sheltered him with the umbrella from the snow, exposing herself."Where's Lauren? Has she gone to sleep?" Landon asked worriedly."Ms. Lauren has stayed up waiting for you all this while. I tried persuading her otherwise but to no avail." Angelina smiled fondly. "Don't blame her. She just couldn't stop worrying about you."Landon swallowed as warmth surged in his chest. He then walked into the villa.Afraid Lauren might catch a cold from him, he changed into the clothes Angelina had prepared for him before tiptoeing upstairs. He wanted to surprise his darling wife.When Landon opened the bedroom door, he noticed a copy of "The Nightingale and the Ro

    Lauren didn't dare turn around even when she heard Landon's footsteps. She continued quaking, holding onto her shoulders like some frightened bunny.Landon, meanwhile, appeared quite like a lustful big bad wolf."Lauren … " Landon grunted, swallowing hard.He gently lifted a trembling hand, wanting to touch Lauren's skin. But Lauren spoke up just then, saying, "I-I wanted to put on some lotion after the shower but couldn't reach my back. I would've f-finished earlier otherwise and been waiting f-for you in bed."Landon's cheeks flushed with heat. His fingers buzzed with electricity as his senses nearly collapsed into themselves.He had had his fair share of women. Countless tried to seduce him in whatever manner they could, whether dressed or not, and many others threw themselves into his arms without a second thought.But none of them had ever made Landon's heart pound so wildly or feel at a loss."C-can you help me, Landon? Please?" Lauren asked softly."Can I, Lauren?"La

He then kissed Lauren again."It tickles, " Lauren mumbled in her sleep, not waking up even as Landon cont

On the third day, the swelling on Sophia's cheek finally subsided. Throughout her stay, Javier never once visited.Betty called Javier numerous times during the wait, imploring him to visit Sophia at the hospital. However, he coldly dismissed her.Betty thought Sophia might break down in tears due to Javier's cold treatment. After all, every wife would yearn for the love of her husband. It was only natural to be distraught if a spouse abandoned them in the hospital.To Betty's surprise, Sophia appeared relatively calm about Javier's dismissal.

    The air in Sophia's room hung heavy with tension.Sophia was once pampered by Javier. He might even be more attentive to her than to Newton when Newton was sick. When she fell ill, Javier would worry and visit her daily.Yet, after three days, he hadn't shown up, which was a first.She leaned weakly against the headboard, her lips trembling. Through her tears, she stared longingly at him. Sophia started, "Javier, have you been busy? I know it's hard to get away from the work at Beckett Group. I understand. I'm fine, though. Just a ruptured eardrum and I've had surgery—"Javier interrupted with a low, stern voice, "Sophie, I'm here to ask you something. Was Alyssa telling the truth?"Sophia was caught off guard, and her eyes wavered. "Javier, do you still doubt me? But I'm your wife. You know how I treated you over the years. I've given you two daughters and risked my life giving birth to Lauren. After all I've sacrificed, how could I possibly cheat on you with a murder suspect

    Sophia looked shocked. Innocent and naive didn't seem like adjectives to describe her. It almost sounded as if Javier were talking about someone else entirely, perhaps Jasper's mother, Anne Bartley.His description irked her.Without missing a beat, Javier pressed on, "You don't appear to be in need of protection. Even without me around, you seem determined to achieve your goals by any means and exact revenge on those you hate."A furrow formed on his forehead, and his gaze darkened. Javier added, "Consider this your final warning. I hope you behave yourself and don't hurt the innocent. Do not give our family more trouble. If you don't listen, I will have no choice but to send you abroad, far away from the drama in Solana City."Sophia trembled in rage when she heard Javier threatening to send her away. She barked, "Javier Beckett, what was that? Are you dumping me now? Do you want to turn me into a divorcee, all because of Alyssa Taylor's baseless claims? Or do you have feelin

    "Yes, Mr. Javier!" his staff replied.After that, Javier shook his head glumly and left with heavy footsteps without taking another look at Sophia.Sophia's mouth hung open. Her legs trembled as her body slowly slumped to the floor.There was no use crying and throwing a tantrum. Now, even when she threatened to take her own life, Javier was unwilling to stay by her side and pay her any attention.She wondered if Javier no longer loved her, questioning whether she was merely a replacement for someone else and if he had never truly loved her.Then, she let out a series of maniacal cackles that scared the wits out of the poor bodyguard. He stammered, "M-Madam, are y-you alright?""Great. I guess we are on the same page. You've never loved me, and I've never loved you. But Javier, I am the winner at the end because I am the one who forced the love of your life to death!"…"Ouch. It hurts like hell …" Betty groaned.She woke up drowsily and found herself in a humid and filthy env

    "Ms. Gillis, I've searched her thoroughly. She doesn't have anything on her." Sheryl's brows knitted in frustration. "How can that be? Where's her cell phone?" "There wasn't one." Sheryl, no longer concerned about dirtying herself, stepped forward, grabbed Amber by her hair, and forced her to meet her gaze."You bitch," Sheryl snarled. "You came to The Millennium at this hour for a reason. What did you find? Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!"Amber spat a mouthful of bloody saliva directly onto Sheryl's face."Fuck! You bitch!" Glaring at Amber, Sheryl rolled her sleeves up and slapped her twice in the face. Even so, it wasn't enough to quench her fury. She yelled, "Take her back!" Two of Sheryl's subordinates moved forward, dragging a limp Amber away. Sheryl's reddened eyes burned with fury as she wiped the spit off her face. She was teetering on the edge of madness."Search the area! Retrace her steps and leave no stone unturned!"…Jasper drove to

    Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up. As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.Hostility flickered between their gazes.Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair."It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up.""Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?" Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark. "It's none of your business."Without another word, Jasper swept past him. Justin's

    Jasper lay restrained on the bed, his body writhing violently as waves of agony crashed over him. A towel clenched between his teeth muffled his cries, though it could not silence the torment. Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being devoured by thousands of invisible ants—a relentless, gnawing pain brought on by withdrawal.He knew he could no longer rely on the medication. Time and again, the temptation clawed at him, urging him to surrender and take the easy way out. Relief was just a pill away. But Jasper's willpower, though battered, refused to shatter. Anne's words echoed in his mind, a guiding light in the darkness. She had always taught him to be a righteous man—one with a clear conscience. Curling into himself, Jasper shut his bloodshot eyes. He couldn't disappoint Anne. He couldn't let down those who believed in him. He had to resist the dark side. Outside the room, Xavier glanced at his wristwatch. Judging the timing to be right, he pushed the door open and l

    "How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

    Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

    Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

    The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

    Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

    Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa.

She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse.
