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
Alyssa: "That's enough! You guys are so childish. Jasper must have investigated us because he suspects Silas' identity. You showed up twice to protect me, so I think he realized you aren't Jonah. If that's the case, then you guys don't have to hide anymore. If he wants an answer, I'll give him an an
Then, the voices of two men sounded out!"Mr. Gardner, I wouldn't have used cheap second-hand mattresses to replace high-end ones if it wasn't to help you make money! But I got caught by that new CEO of Taylor Group and lost my job. No one in Solana City will accept me! You can't just watch me suffer
"Give it up. It's not going to happen," Alyssa said firmly. "I won't eat with you."Landon clucked his tongue. "Why so harsh? Remember how I helped you teach Dylan a lesson? Think of this meal as thanks for that. Can't you do that?"Alyssa smiled mockingly. "As far as I'm aware, Jasper's the one who h
Landon was frightened by the callous look in Jasper's eyes.Jasper had never been more incensed—not even when Liana left him and traveled abroad. Landon was merely joking, which was characteristic of him—wealthy but indiscreet, even more so in front of his good friends.He never thought that he'd cros
