Hayle slowly opened her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze and hearing the sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the beach below. It was the most restful sleep Hayle had experienced, but when she turned, the figure she had shared it with was no longer beside her.She smiled softly, still able to sense the faint scent of the body that had embraced her all night, making her reluctant to leave her current spot. Yet, curiosity tugged at her about where the man could be now."Where is Sir?" Hayle finally asked as she decided to leave her room, wanting to enjoy the morning atmosphere with its warmth. But it seemed the man was no longer there."Sir is exercising. He is jogging on the beach, Miss," a guard intentionally left there answered Hayle's question promptly."Oh, really?" Hayle queried, heading towards the balcony of her hotel room. If she wasn't mistaken, from here she could see the beach below. Perhaps she could catch a glimpse of him now.It didn't take long for Hayle's eyes t

"Lucas!" The voice made Lucas, who had been looking upset, immediately turn indifferent.But as he turned around, the man's face broke into a warm smile to greet the arrival of the troubled-looking woman."What's wrong with you?" Lucas asked, concerned."I don't know, lately I've been having frequent headaches. My father is like that too, which is why he called you here," Sonia said, putting on a helpless expression, holding her throbbing head."It's because you're pushing yourself too hard. I've told you, it's better if you stop doing such work. Just be my wife, that's enough. I'll make you happy," Lucas whispered, teasingly.This instantly melted Sonia, who promptly hugged her future husband's hand and led him into their luxurious home."I've had myself checked by all the doctors. I've also undergone all the comprehensive examinations as they requested. But none of them could diagnose what's wrong with me," Sonia's father complained as he lay down on a lazy sofa where he usually res

The gunfire was met with Jaxter's precision shot that incapacitated the man behind the initial assailant, hitting him squarely in the chest with his semi-automatic pistol equipped with a suppressor. Unaware that their targets were still fighting back, the attackers attempted to aim their pistols at Jaxter and Roberto. However, without hesitation, Jaxter and Roberto swiftly returned fire, rendering four of them instantly immobile.Roberto moved quickly towards the door, scanning the surroundings and firing his pistol several times at guards stationed nearby. Eventually, two outside surrendered to Roberto's sharpshooting skills; he was indeed a seasoned marksman."All clear, sir!" Roberto scanned their surroundings again. Despite feeling secure, he remained vigilant, wary of any potential hidden threats observing the ceasefire.Jaxter narrowed his eyes. At least four individuals lay motionless in their seats. Surviving subordinates checked on them, some shaking their heads indicating th

"My baby will be okay, right?" asked Hayle, who had just been transferred from a helicopter to a bed in the nearest major hospital from the hotel."He'll be fine. He's as strong as you and me," Jaxter said, holding Hayle's hand as they rushed into the hospital's emergency room.Hayle tried to smile, but her face was contorted with pain. She believed Jaxter's words; Roberto always said he was a man of his word.Their hands had to part as Hayle entered one of the rooms in the emergency department. For the first time, Jaxter looked truly distraught and worried about what was happening. Seeing doctors and nurses immediately attending to Hayle made his heart ache for the first time. Despite the bruises now visible on her body, she could still inquire about the condition of their baby. It had become increasingly evident in recent times."How is she?" Jaxter asked, seeing a doctor who had just finished performing an ultrasound on Hayle. Hayle furrowed her brow as she saw the doctor approachi

"Alright, your eyes are very red." Jacob sighed. He offered to stay with Hayle as she cried, not expecting her to cry all night long. Even the tissues in the room were gone. Though she had stopped wailing, Hayle's tears continued to flow. "Your face is bruised. Isn't it painful to keep crying? Besides, you know there's a silver lining to this."Upon hearing that, Hayle immediately shot her friend a sharp look, the sharpest he'd ever seen from her. She grabbed the pillow she'd been using and angrily threw it at the man who dared to suggest there was a silver lining to losing her baby.Jacob, fortunately, managed to catch the pillow that nearly hit his handsome face. "You're quite fierce since you got pregnant.""How could you say there's a silver lining to losing my baby!" Hayle yelled hoarsely. Her body was still so weak she felt like collapsing into a seat. Not to mention the pain in her face from hitting the table and being slapped by the man."Well, it means you don't have to carry

Jacob just stared at Hayle, who had been silent for a while. Her face was still pale, yet she refused to close her eyes to rest. Hayle was reluctant to shut her eyes, fearing she might be thrown back into an incident that had deeply scarred her."You know, Lucas has been trying to contact and meet me several times to ask about you. He seemed panicked, searching for your whereabouts," Jacob tried to convey what had happened since Hayle suddenly left.Hayle remained silent, her face showing no interest whatsoever. There was no change in her expression; she seemed impassive, as if not listening at all."So this man named Jaxter, um, Mr. J, he kidnapped you? But he treated you well until another man tried to assault you, and Mr. J saved you, but not without consequences?" Jacob tried to summarize their conversation on the plane. Even that was difficult for Hayle to discuss. Jacob knew it was a traumatic moment for Hayle, but he needed to know how severe it was, though he didn't expect it

Hayle stirred slightly before finally waking up from her deep sleep. Perhaps she was too tired for her brain to prepare a dream for her. She saw her body covered in a blanket, but she didn't find the man who had warmed her with his embrace last night.The woman raised her eyebrows slightly while gently tapping the back of her side, searching for the man's traces, whether he was really here last night or just in her imagination. But she couldn't find him. Was he really here?Hayle lifted her still very weak body. Her face was even more painful. She immediately placed her feet on the floor and went to the bathroom to wash her face and teeth. But Hayle was surprised to see her face now, which was truly a mess. Bruises everywhere made even brushing her teeth a torment for her, and she had to clean her face very slowly.She also immediately opened the clothes she had worn all night. Seeing the bleeding that could have occurred after a curettage and luckily it wasn't much. Hayle finally dec

Jaxter nodded once, appearing either obedient or completely indifferent and just agreeing with Hayle's words. Hayle took a breath before she glanced at his hand; the back of it looked bruised and scratched. He hadn't been given any medication. Hayle remembered how crazily this man had beaten Carlos back then; was this the result?"That..." Hayle was about to ask about Jaxter's visibly painful hand, perhaps as painful as the wounds on his face, but at that moment, the apartment doorbell rang."Just rest," Jaxter immediately restrained Hayle, who was about to open the door. Instead, he did it himself. Hayle let him; after all, if she resisted, he would just force her back to sit down again.Jaxter walked towards the door, assuming it might be Roberto bringing breakfast for them. However, as he opened it, Jaxter was quite surprised, though he didn't show it. Standing before him was Lucas, unable to hide his astonishment."Looking for someone?" Jaxter asked directly, his voice making Hayl

"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
