Jacob pressed the buzzer in front of the apartment Ice had mentioned. He glanced around briefly, wearing a hat, mask, and sunglasses, and covered his body with an oversized jacket to avoid having his silhouette tracked.After pressing the button once, there was no response from inside, so he was about to press it again. But just as he was about to touch it, the door slightly opened, and without waiting, someone grabbed Jacob’s hand and pulled him into the apartment. He was quickly pushed against the wall, which startled him.“Wow!” Jacob smiled at the girl who was now holding him, brandishing a combat knife whose sharpness was unquestionable.“You’re really a bother!” Ice said, narrowing her eyes. “And your disguise is terrible!”“At least it’s not suspicious, right?” Jacob replied, feeling the pressure from the woman ease. She had already sheathed the knife. “So, what do you actually want to do?” Ice, dressed in a sports bra and the tight clothes she used to wear, walked away from Ja

“Can you stop doing that?” Ice asked, her face showing irritation and frustration. She couldn't tolerate the man sitting not far behind her.“Stop doing what?” Jacob asked with his innocent, cheerful expression.“Stop staring at me. You’re making it hard for me to concentrate! It’s almost midnight, and I need to finish all this!” Ice said, shaking her head. The whole time, he had been sitting there, watching her as if she were some kind of spectacle. What made it worse was the way he looked at her, which she found strange and nerve-wracking.Jacob furrowed his brow as if he didn’t understand what Ice was talking about. “I’m not looking at you. I’m looking at the screens in front of you. Observing Lucas’s movements.”“No way. I’ve seen you watching me the whole time!” Ice insisted, convinced that’s what he was doing.Jacob sighed and moved his rolling chair closer to the woman, who was now glaring at him. They were now seated side by side.“I’ve been watching this video. Look, Lucas is

Hayle furrowed her brow, reading her friend’s question. She understood the message despite the initial confusion. The combination of taps and nail scratches was challenging to interpret without hearing the tone, but someone accustomed to it could easily decipher it.But where did Jacob get this? Only a few people used this code.“Where did you get this video? Is that Lucas’s hand?” Hayle asked, certain but needing confirmation, as the video only showed a piece of a hand, which was very intriguing. So engrossed was she in Roberto’s phone that she didn’t notice her husband entering the kitchen. Jaxter had just finished cleaning and was heading to enjoy breakfast as usual.Jaxter didn’t greet his wife but watched her closely. Even when Roberto tried to announce his presence, Jaxter subtly shook his head, signaling Roberto to remain silent.Jaxter then approached his wife from behind, who was still oblivious to his presence. It seemed to be exactly what he anticipated, as Hayle glanced at

“This is the list of the children from the orphanage as you requested, particularly the twelve who lived with you in the same room. Do you recognize any of them, Ma’am?” Roberto handed over the data he had collected. “I’ve also included some children who shared a room with Lucas.”Hayle looked at the pictures and data of the orphanage friends she hadn’t seen in a long time. It brought back memories, both pleasant and bitter.“Does this list include children who left the orphanage? Some children were adopted by families,” Hayle asked Roberto.Yes, Hayle had always felt unlucky for never being chosen for adoption. Despite her efforts to be well-behaved whenever prospective parents visited, she was never selected.“Yes, Miss. There are about 47 children within the age range who could have learned the language with you,” Roberto handed over a different file.Hayle nodded slowly. “It looks like I’ll have to work late to review all their profiles.” She gave a faint smile.“Take it slow. No

"Yes, I’ve sent all the reports and everything I’ve gathered. Most likely, they will meet there. I also believe that Black Phoenix and Laurence are aware of this. I can’t prevent it since the only person who could crack the code was Jaxter’s wife. Well, that’s all,” Ice explained everything she had learned from Jacob.Ice glanced at Jacob, who was simply smiling. This made Ice take a deep breath."But, Chief, there’s something I need to say." Ice struggled to articulate her thoughts. It wasn’t that she was reluctant, but she felt pressured to comply with this man’s demands. However, this was crucial, and Jacob had all her work so far. "I’m requesting time off for two days. I plan to return to work the day after tomorrow. But if something urgent comes up, I’ll make every effort to handle it.""What do you want to do? This is unusual for you, Ice," asked Ice’s superior, who knew how dedicated she was. She was known for working even when injured or ill, so a request for two days off was

Her face was etched with a mix of confusion, fear, and disbelief. It was strange, confusing, and frightening, yet there was an undeniable shock at what Jacob had just said. According to the profile she had on him, Jacob claimed to be asexual, which made her believe he wasn’t a threat. Even though she had been acting tough, how could this man make such a declaration?A sudden jerk from Jacob caused Ice to pull away, her heart racing with the lingering warmth and softness of the kiss. Jacob’s expression was a mixture of sadness and frustration as he watched her retreat."Damn it!" Jacob muttered, clearly frustrated. His feelings for Ice seemed more than just superficial; he was genuinely infatuated.Ice quickly retreated to her room, locking the door behind her as if she were a frightened child. She rushed to the bathroom, washing her face roughly to regain her composure.She needed to get a grip!Why was this happening? She couldn’t stop thinking about how close Jacob’s face had been

"Stop it Jacob!" Ice tried desperately to break free from this firm circle of hands. Despite her efforts, the man's hands were still wrapped around her waist."Why don't you want to be with me at all?" asked Jacob with a frowning, sad face."It's because you forced me! I don't like being forced!" said Ice finally giving in, but she still didn't relax her annoyed face at this man."That means it's not because you don't like me, right?" Jacob smiled sweetly again. As if he was happy that that wasn't the answer that came out of Ice's mouth.Ice fell silent. Yeah? Why didn't he just say that? It seemed like he didn't want to say that either."Let go, I'm already sleepy." Ice caught her breath. Seemingly trying to be patient with what this man was doing."I'm not yet, how about this? Can you help me sleep?" Jacob asked with a seductive look on his face.Again the flash of lust was visible in his eyes. What does this man want?"I can't! Take care of yourself!" said Ice who certainly did not

"Then you have to touch everything!" Ice touched the man's hand and glanced at his hand. "That is if you can do it!" Ice immediately pushed the body of the man in front of her until Jacob staggered slightly and crashed lightly into the glass shower divider in his bathroom.The man was quite shocked. Seeing Ice's initial resignation now she seemed to be fighting back. The girl went running away from him. Making Jacob bite his lip. Yes, he liked this kind of defiant girl. Her resistance made him even more excited."Come here you!" Jacob started chasing the girl who ran away from him. Several times they almost slipped because their bodies were soaked. Jacob chased after the woman who was quite fast running.With the sound of Ice's laughter that sounded crisp to him, Jacob tried to find the woman who came out of her room, leaving silence as he looked around the mansion. There was no sign of her at all."Ice?" called Jacob trying to find a trace of the woman. Rolling his eyes across the vas

"How was it?" asked Hayle approaching her husband. Seeing Jacob only gave her a faint smile. Of course it made Hayle very curious. How did the man meet his wife.Actually Hayle really wanted to witness it. But, she had her own business to take care of Zave's lecture that she had promised a few weeks ago. Therefore, she could not cancel this."They just talked for a while." Jaxter answered his wife's curiosity."And then? What did they talk about? Did they talk about bringing Rui?" Hayle with a very curious face.There was actually one thing that made Hayle a little worried about all this. They were going to take Rui and keep the two of them apart. Because after all Hayle -she knew this was very selfish- had taken care of and loved Rui with all her heart."I don't know what they're talking about. I wasn't inside with them.""Ha?" Hayle wrinkled her forehead with an incredulous face. "Why aren't you even with them. I want to know what they're talking about." Hayle was really upset why e

"You put her in the Isolation room?" Jacob asked with a deep frown on his face."It's better to keep her from escaping. There are many things that will happen if she gets out of here. I don't think I need to explain, do I?" Jaxter seemed to just stare straight at the hallway that would lead them to a room that was quite secluded there.Jacob played with his lips. He slowly walked, fortunately Jaxter was understanding enough to match his pace."Thank you for hosting her here." Jacob lifted the corner of his lips before glancing at the man whose facial water had not even changed. "I know that you intentionally put her here for her own good too. You must know that her enemies are everywhere. Even my family is after her.""I just wanted to fulfill my wife's wish. To live in peace." Jaxter didn't seem to care what Jacob said. They stood in front of the steel door that was tightly closed."You can imprison him anywhere. Maybe underground, in a secluded place. You could have even just elimin

"Rui a lot of things happened before you were born. Both your adoptive family and your biological family. We may not be able to be like most parents. Our previous lives will leave you dumbfounded. But, you don't have to think about what happened before you were born. I just want to say, whatever ever happened to me, I will do it again as long as I can get a daughter like you." Jacob held the princess's hand very tightly. Staring at her hazel nets that looked so beautiful and drowning."I knew you would ask about what happened to your real mother." Jacob pursed his lips. He took a deep breath and grabbed something from the nightstand drawer beside his bed. That made him frown. "This is a picture of your mother. I don't want you to not know her."Jacob handed over the cell phone he took earlier. He asked Roberto to find any photos of Ice that might still exist. And, luckily, there was one of her when she was still undercover in Laurence's group.Rui took the cell phone in her father's ha

"Eh? You." Rui was startled when she came out of her father's hospital room and saw the figure of a man who seemed to be walking towards her place."Yes. I heard your father was taken to the hospital, is he okay?" asked Arzhiel who immediately came to this hospital when he heard the news."Yes. But he's fine, he just woke up." Rui smiled faintly at this man who could make her heart feel uneasy."So, why aren't you inside?" Arzhiel wrinkled his forehead. "Do you want to do something?""No, I didn't. Mrs. Hayle and Clay's father wanted me to go out for a moment. They want to talk to Jacob's father. So I'll just go out." Rui said it in a slightly mischievous tone. I don't know, it's hard to act casual in front of people we like."Oh, I see, so I can't go in there yet either." Arzhiel looked at the door of the room. "I saw this little cafe near the hospital garden. It's not far, want to wait there instead?"Rui hearing that was a little startled and raising her eyebrows, she nodded slowly

"Rui ...." Hayle stared at her daughter to which Rui immediately responded."Yes? Mom?" Rui showed a subtle streak on her face, following the question that fell from her lips."I know that Rui probably has many things to ask. But, is it okay if you, Mom, and Jacob's father talk first?" Hayle gently tried to give understanding to her daughter. She knew that it was not difficult to usually talk to this sweet girl.Rui pursed her lips and nodded for a moment. Although there were indeed a lot of questions in her head but Rui couldn't force herself to stay there. One of her principles said that it was better not to know what she shouldn't know. Or maybe not yet.Jacob smiled proudly at how the princess behaved. Although he was reluctant to release the delicate grip of his daughter. But it was something they had to do. The three of them stared at Rui's departure who soon disappeared behind the door of the infirmary."I'm glad you guys took care of her to become such a great girl. I don't th

The door slowly opened. Making all the hearts of the people outside the door beat faster.When Jacob saw the figure of a woman sitting at the end of a fairly narrow room, on an old-looking bed. Curled up as if frightened with her hair loose over her face.Jacob frowned, not really having any expectations about how the woman who was predicted to be his wife was doing."Ice." Hayle walked into the room. Leaving the two men who seemed to be still observing the situation inside Ice's hospital room.As usual, Hayle sat at the end of the bed closest to her. Always trying to communicate well with the woman who never even looked at her."I'm here again, but this time I'm not alone with my husband. Would you like to see who came with us?" Hayle said it as gently as possible. It was always like that if she was dealing with this woman because according to Hayle, that was how to treat someone like this Ice.But, even though Hayle had seduced the woman. Of course Ice didn't seem to understand what

"Good morning!" the cheerful, friendly voice filled the room where Hayle was on duty, if not the kitchen.The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly. "Good afternoon, Jac.""Yes! Yes! No need to emphasize it. But it's early in Alaska. I guess it is." Jacob rubbed his face. He still looked sleepy."The time difference between here and there is only an hour Jac, so I guess it's already daytime in Alaska." Hayle shook her head. Even at this age, she still couldn't let go of her innocence."Yeah. Every now and then make me happy Hayle by just following what I say." Jacob made a little annoyed face at being corrected by this woman."Eat your breakfast, or actually brunch. After that take your medicine. You have to take it, right?" Hayle said. Yesterday she saw him taking his medicine after their warm dinner."Not really. It's just for pain relief. Yesterday's flight made my leg ache, so I took it. It's quiet, even though four bullets have gone through my body. I'm overall very healt

"Why did you say something like that earlier Jax?" asked Hayle who glanced at her husband as she rubbed lotion all over her body after she finished putting on her clothes after cleaning herself."About what?" Jaxter took off the shirt he was wearing one by one. After his wife it was time for him to take a shower."About Ice."Jaxter did not answer immediately. Tickling the curiosity and attention of Hayle who immediately tried to see what happened to her man's face."Do you still suspect that Ice might betray us again?" Hayle asked."There's no harm in being on guard. We already have the life we dreamed of all this time, I won't let a single person ruin it." Jaxter glanced at his wife with a rather sharp gaze. Making Hayle unable to say anything. In a life like the one they lived. Tranquility was a high price they had to pay with so many sacrifices before."So about when will you let us see him. I'm sure Jacob and Rui will want to see Ice." Hayle tried to be cooperative with her husba

"At first I can't remember anything, I woke up in a hospital bed in Hawaii. All I knew was that my whole body was in a lot of pain and I couldn't get out of bed at all. The doctor who treated me said that I had been in a coma for more than half a year." Jacob recounted what he experienced after what happened to him. Everyone in the house was silent, they were listening to what this man was saying. Even so, his hand continued to hold Rui's hand."Then when did you get your memories?" asked Arzhiel who was even more curious about this man's story. Moreover, what he knew was that this man was not in an accident as told by his parents. Instead, he was attacked by people they didn't know."It took a long time for me to remember. About 3 years after the incident, I had a serious memory disorder. I even forgot everything. And, suddenly I woke up with a terrible headache, then I remembered my name and some glimpses of my previous life.""At that moment you remembered Rui?" asked Hayle now who
