After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me Chapter 27 : inheritance
Nobody spoke for several seconds after Miranda’s warning.The tension in the lobby felt suffocating.Alex stared at his mother like if he blinked too long she might disappear again.Alive.After all these years—Alive.Miranda looked older than he remembered.More tired.Like survival itself had worn pieces of her down slowly over time.But her eyes—They were exactly the same.And somehow that hurt most.Jamie remained slightly in front of Alex instinctively.Protective even now.Miranda noticed immediately.A faint sadness crossed her face.“You really do love him.”Jamie’s expression didn’t change.“That’s not your concern.”Alex finally found his voice.“You left me.”The words came out rougher than intended.Miranda flinched visibly.“I know.”“No,” Alex snapped quietly.“You don’t.”Silence.Painful silence.Security discreetly moved further back, sensing this was no longer their conversation.Miranda swallowed slowly.“The night of the warehouse fire, Adrian realized I stole th

Three nights after Jamie’s reinstatement—Elijah finally revealed the location of the second archive.A private estate hidden along the northern coast.Old.Isolated.And once owned jointly by the Vale and Reed families decades earlier.Alex stood inside Jamie’s office while Elijah spread old blueprints across the desk.“You kept this hidden the entire time?” Alex asked quietly.Elijah remained calm.“Because if Orpheus learned I still had access to it, we would all already be dead.”Comforting.Jamie studied the blueprints carefully.“There’s an underground server room here,” he murmured.Elijah nodded once.“The remaining files should still exist unless Adrian already reached them.”Jamie’s expression hardened slightly.“Then we move before he does.”Alex crossed his arms.“You’re still recovering.”Jamie barely glanced at him.“I’m fine.”“You literally still have stitches.”“I’ve had worse.”Alex looked toward Elijah.“Does he always respond like this?”Elijah sighed tiredly.“Unf
After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me Chapter 25 : the media
The media exploded within minutes of the board vote.“Jamie Reed Reinstated as CEO.”“Reed Holdings Scandal Collapses.”“Victor Hale Removed From Internal Operations.”Every business network replayed footage of Jamie leaving the boardroom beside Elijah.Cold.Untouched.Victorious.But what truly caught public attention—Was Alex.Because this time Jamie didn’t hide him.Not once.Photographers swarmed outside Reed Holdings headquarters as security escorted them toward the waiting cars.Questions flew aggressively from every direction.“Mr. Reed, are the engagement rumors true?”“Were the allegations against you fabricated?”“What’s your relationship to the Vale family?”Jamie ignored every question smoothly.Until one reporter shouted—“Is Alex Vale connected to Project Orpheus?”Everything stopped for half a second.Alex felt it instantly.The shift.The danger.Jamie’s expression became terrifyingly calm.Security immediately moved forward.But Jamie raised one hand slightly.Stopp
After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me Chapter 24 : the proposal
Jamie recovered slowly over the next week.Slow enough to frustrate everyone around him.Especially the doctors.Especially Alex.“Stop trying to walk,” Alex snapped one morning after catching Jamie halfway out of bed again.Jamie looked entirely unrepentant.“I’m bored.”“You were shot twice.”“I survived.”“That’s not the point.”Jamie leaned back against the pillows reluctantly while Alex adjusted the bandages near his side carefully.The safehouse remained quiet around them.Protected.Hidden.For the first time in weeks—No gunfire.No alarms.No blood on marble floors.Just silence.Jamie watched Alex fuss over him quietly.Then something unreadable softened in his expression.“What?” Alex asked suspiciously.Jamie’s gaze lingered on him.“You’ve started acting like this is permanent.”Alex frowned.“Acting like what is permanent?”“This.”Jamie gestured weakly between them.The room suddenly felt warmer.Dangerously warmer.Alex looked away briefly.“You almost died.”Jamie’s v
After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me Chapter 23 : the safe house
“Jamie!”Alex tried to follow him immediately.Elijah grabbed him hard before he could move.“Don’t.”Gunfire exploded across the underground garage.Jamie moved through it like someone already prepared to die.Precise shots.Controlled breathing.Cold efficiency.Even bleeding heavily.Alex’s chest felt like it was being crushed.“He can’t stay there alone!”Elijah dragged him toward a concrete hallway hidden behind the parking structure.“He’s buying time.”“That’s suicidal!”Elijah’s expression darkened sharply.“You think my son doesn’t know that?”The answer hit hard.Too hard.More bullets ricocheted through the garage.One of Jamie’s guards collapsed nearby.Alex flinched instinctively.Elijah shoved open a steel door leading into a narrow underground tunnel.Emergency lights flickered overhead.Old.Hidden.Secret.Alex stumbled inside reluctantly.Every instinct screamed at him to go back.To stay with Jamie.But Elijah pulled the door shut behind them just as another explosi
After Our First Kiss, He Begged to Own Me Chapter 22 : again
Everything happened too fast.Jamie shoved Alex backward violently just as the gun fired.The sound exploded through the penthouse.Alex hit the floor hard.For one disoriented second—He thought Jamie missed.Then he saw the blood.Jamie staggered slightly.A dark stain spread rapidly across his side beneath the black shirt.Alex’s heartbeat stopped.“Jamie!”Chaos erupted instantly.Jamie fired back twice with terrifying precision.One operative dropped.Another screamed.Elijah slammed his elbow backward into Adrian hard enough to break free briefly.Security rushed in from the destroyed hallway.Gunfire exploded everywhere again.But Alex barely heard any of it.Because Jamie was bleeding.Again.And this time worse.Jamie grabbed Alex’s arm roughly.“Elevator. Now.”“No—”“Move!”The sheer force in his voice stunned Alex into motion.The private elevator doors slid open just as another bullet shattered the mirrored wall beside them.Jamie practically shoved Alex inside.Elijah st
