LOGIN"Julien!" Jonah roared. His heart seized, and his eyes turned red instantly. How could he possibly not save Julien? He had to save him, even if it meant going through hell and being battered and crushed along the way. "Jonah, remember my voice?" From the other end of the line, Uri's mocking voice drifted into Jonah's ear like a ghost rising from hell."Uri Holland!" Jonah growled, uttering the name engraved in his mind through clenched teeth, his eyes bloodshot. Uri let out a chilling chuckle. "Seems like I left quite an impression on you, Judas." "Let my love go! If you want revenge or need someone to vent your anger on, come at me!"Jonah's eyes blazed with fury as a violent energy erupted from him. He roared, "Listen carefully, Uri. If you come for me, I'll gladly give you my life. But if you lay even a finger on Julien… I'll tear you apart and grind you into dust!""Jonah!" Alyssa's heart pounded as tears filled her eyes. Of course she was worried about Julien's safe
Jonah immediately rushed forward to support Remy. At the same time, Alyssa leaped out of bed, but since she hadn't fully recovered, the sudden movement made her lightheaded and caused her to stagger. Suddenly, she felt a strong, steady arm wrap around her supple waist as Jasper's warm, reassuring presence surrounded her. "Be careful." Almost instinctively, Jasper tightened his arms and pulled her closer.A single tear rolled down Alyssa's cheek as she leaned against his chest and wrapped her arms more tightly around his waist. She had decided to go all in. Even if the world were to end the next moment, she wanted to hold him close. He was Jasper Beckett—the person she loved the most. "W-Whenever I-I try to think about the past… even for a moment… I get struck by an agonizing headache." Though Remy felt slightly better after drinking some warm water, he still trembled from the pain. "All these years, whenever my headaches hit… Justin would give me a medication he claimed co
Home…This unfamiliar yet welcoming word left a deep imprint on Remy's pounding, fragile heart, sending sorrow and warmth surging through his chest at the same time. After a moment of silence, he spoke, not even noticing the faint tremble in his chapped lips."Thank you, Jasper." …Amber was rushed to the Taylor family's hospital for emergency treatment. Her life now hung in the balance. Meanwhile, Axel stood outside the emergency room, stiff as a board. From behind, his upright figure resembled a desolate, timeless statue. "Amber… my dearest…" Axel's bloodshot eyes filled with tears. Slowly, the tall man sank to the ground—first to one knee, then the other. Pressing his palms together, he muttered, "You have always been so resilient. You have to hang in there. I beg you… Don't leave me here on my own… "If there really is a God, I'm willing to give up the rest of my years in exchange for my darling Amber's health and safety from now on." He had once been a cold realist,
Jasper gazed into Remy's frosty eyes. "What about you? How did you end up following Justin?"Remy's eyes were dark, like a bottomless abyss devoid of light. "To be frank, I have no idea."Jasper frowned. "You don't?""When I came to, I was lying in a special ward. It didn't look like a hospital ward—more like a regular room with a really nice ambience. I couldn't move a muscle. My entire body was connected to tubes, and I was in so much pain that it felt as if all the bones in my body had been shattered and reconstructed…"Remy thought back to the ward that was filled with sunlight—the place where he first met Justin. The lake outside the window was as clear as glass, and he could see the shadows of trees swaying back and forth. Justin sat in his wheelchair by the window, backlit by the sun. He greeted Remy warmly. "Wonderful. You're finally awake. All that hard work wasn't wasted."Over the next six months, Justin visited him almost daily. He talked with him, brought him delici
Though the buzz in the helicopter cabin was deafening, the moment Remy uttered those words, it was as if everything fell completely silent. To be frank, deep down in Jasper's heart, he was slowly beginning to rediscover his feelings for Alyssa. In fact, his frozen heart fluttered every time he laid eyes on her. Whenever he saw her with Justin, his heart would race uncontrollably, and a throbbing pain would pulse through his head.If he hadn't forced himself to suppress his feelings, the violent headache—so intense it felt as if his skull might shatter—would make death seem like mercy. The pain was unbearable, making his limbs cramp and his breathing difficult. So how could he possibly go against Justin or protect Alyssa?"Some things aren't just about letting someone down. It's not that simple."Jasper's eyes dimmed slightly. With practiced precision, he used a pair of tweezers to remove the bullet lodged deep in Remy's left shoulder. Even so, Remy only furrowed his brow slightl
On the screen of Justin's phone, the incoming call showed a private number. Justin's eyes darkened, and the muscles along his chiseled jaw tightened. He slowly picked up his phone and swiped to answer. "Hello?" From the other end came Zachary's relaxed, mocking voice. "How have you been, my dear Justin?" Justin inhaled sharply but remained silent for a beat. In a falsely light-hearted tone, he replied, "I've been well. Thanks for asking, Uncle Zachary." "Blood is thicker than water. We're family. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."Zachary chuckled. Then he continued, "I heard about what happened in Solana City tonight, even though I'm all the way in Mosgravia. As the mastermind, you actually staged such an exciting police raid for the members of Kings' Club."How much did you lose this time? One billion dollars? Or two? That's too much for you to make up for, isn't it?"All the color drained from Justin's face. He clenched his fists, his knuckles crack
The crowd erupted into gasps of shock and awe once more.Alyssa Taylor was Alexa?Something imploded in Jasper's mind, blanking his thoughts out entirely. He felt like his soul had left his body, slowly drifting out like an astronaut in space.Alyssa was Alexa. She was the world-renowned, reclusive jew
Alyssa squealed as a powerful force gripped her arm, pulling her into an embrace. She collided with Jasper's chest, feeling the warmth of his frenzied breath atop her head. A surge of warmth enveloped her.He hugged her tightly and heavily. It all felt strange yet familiar to her.He was perhaps worri
Sean returned to Alyssa's side after completing his task. He quizzed, "Are you really going easy on Ms. Harper? This is the nicest you've ever been."Sean couldn't help but smile when he noticed Alyssa's high heels carelessly strewn on the floor. He neatly placed them under her table.Meanwhile, Alyss
After offering some health advice to Newton, Alyssa left the room. Jasper wasted no time and quickly caught up to her. He said curtly, "I'll send you home."Alyssa had held back from lashing out at Jasper in front of Newton. Now, she finally exploded and jumped back while pointing a finger at his fac
