LOGINThe moment Jonah dropped that bombshell, his three brothers erupted in protest. "That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!" "Winston is my only father!" "Winston may not be perfect, but he's the only father I'll ever acknowledge. Anyone else can get lost! Just because the king's own son is gone, he thinks he can take someone else's? What the hell? Has he lost his mind?"Amid the heated outburst, Alyssa noticed the grim expressions on Lyla's and Colene's faces. It was as if they had long anticipated this outcome. Clearly, they knew the truth, but they had chosen to bury this earth-shattering secret deep within their hearts. "Lyla… Colene… you already knew, didn't you?" Alyssa asked, her voice trembling, her heart pounding wildly.Colene lowered her head. "To be honest, we only know part of it… Mandy is the one who knows everything. She and Jennifer were extremely close back then—closer than anyone else. You could say they shared everything."With a somber expression, Lyla add
At last, the entire family was reunited. Alyssa and Miley threw their arms around each other, clinging tightly as they sobbed, unable to find the words to express everything they felt. This was the nature of kinship—no words were needed. Even if they rarely saw each other, the bond between them remained unshaken. "Miley, have you visited Mandy and Damien at the hospital?" With tears brimming in his eyes, Silas spoke hoarsely. "Mandy is still unconscious, but Damien has regained his memories. He's… He's finally come back to us.""I know. Lyse told me over the phone earlier." Miley's voice trembled with emotion. "This is wonderful news. Truly wonderful. Damien is still alive, and our family can finally…"She faltered, unable to finish her sentence. Both she and Jeremy knew that Anthony's personal visit to Winston meant something life-altering was about to unfold. Jeremy's usually sharp, commanding presence was gone. His eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion, and he looked visibly g
All of a sudden, something flickered in Winston's dark, lifeless eyes. It was as if a hole had been torn through the very core of his being, sending cracks splintering across his entire world in an instant. A familiar, crushing pain seized his chest again—so intense that he let out a low groan and clutched at his heart. "Mr. Taylor!" Neil rushed forward and caught Winston as he trembled, steadying him with both hands. He shot Anthony a sharp look, barely holding back his anger. "Mr. Stewart, if you have something to say, just say it. Mr. Taylor has only just recovered from his illness. He doesn't have the strength to go back and forth with you like this!""I'll get straight to the point, then." In an instant, all warmth vanished from Anthony's face. A cold, commanding authority settled over him as he declared, "I intend to acknowledge my son and bring him home. I will also name him the heir to the throne." Neil's chest heaved as his hands curled into tight fists. Felicity
Alyssa's jaw dropped. "Someone from the royal family?" The first person who came to mind was Yuliana. Had she been cast out by the royal family? With nowhere else to go, had she come here seeking refuge, and perhaps to see Liam?"You know what? I'll just tell her!" Impatient as ever, Colene blurted out, "It's the king of Kontina. Wait… Do they call him His Majesty? Whatever. It's Kontina's king, and he's here at our house!"Alyssa gasped. "What?" Lyla's eyes were filled with concern. "He's in your father's study right now, meeting with him. Your brothers are all waiting outside, but Winston isn't letting anyone in. We're worried, but there's nothing we can do."Alyssa felt a sudden sense of foreboding, as if something momentous was about to unfold. Without another word, she turned and hurried out. "I'm going to take a look!" …The atmosphere in the study was tense—heavy enough to suffocate. Winston sat across from the king of Kontina, Anthony Stewart. Though neither spoke,
Night fell over Seaview Manor. Jasper sat in his study, reviewing the corporation's recent internal records alongside the two documents from Newton. Removing Justin from the company wouldn't be difficult. But truly bringing him down? That was another matter entirely. Just then, his phone rang on the desk. The name on the screen made his heart skip a beat. It read, "Lyse."Jasper took a deep breath and cleared his throat, which was still rough from cigarette smoke. Once he had steadied himself, he answered the call. "Jasper, something terrible has happened!" Alyssa exclaimed, her voice tight with panic. Jasper's breath hitched. "Are you okay?"Without hesitation, she was the first person on his mind. "I'm fine. It's not about me; it's about your psychotic older brother."Alyssa's normally gentle voice turned grave. "Cyrus just told me about two vehicles discovered this evening on a highway south of Solana City. There were four bodies inside. One of them was Gustav Holm,
"Justin, you psycho! You'll die a horrible death… Karma will come for you. The heavens will punish you!" Sheryl shrieked.She moved faster than a human could. In a blur, Justin was on the floor and Sheryl was over him, clamping her teeth down on his ear like a feral beast. She bit down hard—so hard she tore off a piece of flesh. The searing pain sent a numbing shock through Justin's scalp, his vision blurring. He thrashed wildly, kicking and struggling. But Sheryl clung to him like a vice, refusing to let go no matter how he fought back. Rage burned in her bloodshot eyes as she kept her jaws locked onto his ear like a rabid animal. She had suppressed herself for far too long—controlled, restrained, broken. At last, she could cast off every inhibition and unleash her madness on this despicable man. For once, she was living for herself. Realizing his ear was about to be torn off, Justin, in desperation, grabbed the whip lying nearby. Without hesitation, he looped it around Sh
The chill that permeated the morgue was a constant reminder of the chasm between the world of the living and the dead.Standing in the shadows of the entrance, Alyssa and Jasper allowed Landon to say his final farewell to Angelina.Angelina's lifeless face looked as pretty as ever.

Lauren lay on the hospital bed, her heartbeat steady, and the oxygen mask removed. Despite this, every breath seemed laborious for her, her face drained of color. The delicate flutter of her lashes resembled a butterfly's wings."Lauren, don't be afraid. You're alright now. Grandpa is here. Your dad,
Axel had lived a dangerous life. He never had time or energy to date properly, let alone orchestrate anything so romantic. The fireworks tonight were beautiful. He thanked Landon for that. However, no matter how bright and long the fireworks were, it would still be dull if he didn't have anyone to w
Landon felt touched. He gazed at Javier, gratitude evident in his eyes. Though he opened his mouth to speak, words eluded him, leaving him in a momentary silence.Jasper, standing nearby, watched with surprise, his expression softening into a relieved smile.
