Four days. Mia mumbles while pacing in her locked room. She did not think Jaxon had kept her prisoner for four days in the castle. She had never seen Jaxon since four days ago. It felt like she wanted to scream in frustration.
“Hey! I know someone is behind this door. Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me! I need the sun and fresh air!” She pounded on the door in front of her many times, but there was no response. She hated the feeling of helplessness.
Several times Mia banged on the door again until finally, she felt tired, then left the door and lay on the bed. That was her position when Jaxon entered the room a few hours later.
“Four days, Mr. Bradwood. You kept me prisoner for four days! “Mia slowly got up and sat opposite Jaxon, standing on the other side.
“I’m not holding you, Miss Heart. This is just a special treatment that I rarely give my guests.”
Mia was about to say something, but Jaxon gave a silent gesture with one hand raised.
“Before you say something that will only get you in trouble, you better listen to me first. Do you understand, Mia?”
Jaxon’s gaze showed that he was not playing games. Something was behind his intense eyes, making her swallow painfully and nod slowly.
“From now on, Denver is your place. You can’t leave Denver without my permission. I won’t lock you up like I have these days. Don’t worry, I’m not that cruel. You have the freedom to do anything while in Denver. You are not my prisoner. If you want to work, just work. You are free to choose a job here. I’ll also give you a place to live and other facilities, you can name it, I’ll take care of it all. But you can’t get out of Denver. This is my requirement for you to follow.”
Mia looked at Jaxon, full of terror. She felt panicked hearing Jaxon’s words.
Seeing the look on her face softened Jaxon’s stern expression.
“Am I in trouble?” Mia asked in a low, whispered voice.
“There’s nothing you need to worry about.”
“How can I not worry if you tell me to stay in Denver and stop me from leaving!”
Mia held her tongue to say no more. She was afraid that she would lose control over what she said.
“The old man who gave you this mission was found dead with two bullets lodged in his body after your departure.”
Jaxon’s words finally released the panic that had been haunting her. She didn’t realize that her body was shaking violently, and her vision blurred. Someone’s after her.
“How long do I have to live in Denver?” Her hoarse voice trembled slightly.
Jaxon could feel Mia’s panic, which he had never felt before, slowly entering his heart. The part of sympathy he thought had disappeared over time.
“I can’t predict it. There is nothing I can promise you.”
Without realizing it, Mia hugged her own body. Her arms were wrapped around her stomach.
Jaxon heavily forced himself to look away from the helpless girl in front of him. Gavin’s words about the gentle creature rang in his ears.
His gaze focused on the food in the trolley, untouched.
“Have you eaten?” asked Jaxon as he approached the trolley and took a plate filled with bread.
Mia shook her head weakly. She was still deep in thought. She was tired of always playing hide and seek with the past. This time Mia believes her past is back after her, and if the information from Jaxon is correct, then she won’t be able to return to Blueberry Hill.
“Do you know who ... killed that man?” It feels like Mia can’t bear to say the word kill. Although Jaxon did not tell the cause of the man’s death, Mia was not naive. Mia has been in a situation like this. In the past, she saw one of her bodyguards die half-intact.
“Just worry about yourself. Let me take care of it, Mia.”
Mia didn’t answer. She didn’t know what to say. Thanking him is not the right thing.
A plate was thrust in front of her. Although reluctant to accept, Mia realized that she was hungry. Jaxon’s big body forced her to move to give the manned space to sit with her side by side on the bed.
“Living in Denver is not that bad.”
Jaxon’s words brought Mia’s gaze to his face. For a long time, she watched every line of his face. If Gavin has a handsome face that can be called beauty, then Jaxon is more like masculine handsomeness.
“I prefer the Blueberry Hill atmosphere.” Mia lowered her gaze as Jaxon stared at her. Now Jaxon turned to watch Mia. Both seemed to take turns stealing glances.
“Whatever is after you, Miss Heart, I’m still going to force you to be in Denver.”
“Why?”
“Because your mission isn’t finished. The envelope is only the beginning.”
Since the first time she was given the task of being a courier, Mia was always curious about the envelope’s contents, but fear overcame her. She had been tempted to open the yellow envelope several times during her trip to Denver.
“What’s in ....”
“Trust me, you will not get that answer from me. Don’t try to discuss the envelope in our conversation.”
Jaxon’s interrupting voice silenced Mia. From Jaxon’s tone speaking, Mia also didn’t want to know about the contents of the envelope. Like Pandora, it would be better if she was not curious about its contents, considering the results would not be good. What’s more, the thing that Jaxon Bradwood is dealing with is not something sweet but dark and full of violence.
Again Jaxon handed her a plate with other food. Without realizing it, Mia had finished the four dishes that were given. Her eyebrows rise slightly to find Jaxon’s grin. The man deliberately shifts her focus by continuing to talk to him, so she can eat without realizing all of it.
“Rest, Miss Heart. There are so many things waiting for the future,” said Jaxon as he left the room. “This room is no longer locked. Feel free to roam around. We can discuss it again tomorrow. It’s too late now. “
Mia stared at the door that had just closed. This time she didn’t hear the usual key sound, making her believe what Jaxon said. Even though she was restless about what she had just learned, the warmth at least touched her heart after Jaxon handled her situation and a full stomach made her feel more content.

Mia appears to be talking and laughing with Disya in the gazebo when they both hear footsteps from the right side of the garden. At the same time, the women turned to face the source of the voice, who was none other than Allana.Mia greeted the arrival of her closest maids with a smile and invited her to join the table. On the other hand, Allana refused, turning her head slightly towards the path she had been on.Mia and Disya were also drawn to the female servant’s gaze. However, they discovered nothing, which puzzled Mia.“What exactly is it?”Allana returned her gaze to the two women in front of her and responded with a wave of hesitation.“There is... someone who wishes to meet... you and Miss Flontin,” she said, looking over at Disya, who was still sitting quietly with a cup of tea in her hand.Mia’s brows rose to her brows upon hearing this explanation.“Would you like to... see this person?” she asked, unsure.Because no one would look for her during her time in Aurelia, especi
Jaxon walked into the family’s living room, and there sat Jeff Bradwood, accompanied by his stepmother, Ruby. Jeff’s shoulders tensed as he noticed the presence of Red Cage members in the room, even though he had heard them before reaching the gate. However, seeing the parade of men enter the room, Jeff couldn’t even move from his seat on the sofa.“Jeff,” Jaxon said, putting his hands in his trouser pockets.Instead of responding, Jeff Bradwood simply cleared his throat and looked around. He consciously avoided his son’s bored stare.Jaxon’s gaze was drawn to Ruby, who smiled sensuously. But he ignored her. His attention was drawn back to his father, who was attempting to maintain a poker face.“I see you’re doing well,” Jaxon said as he sat down on the couch and made small talk.He gave the two people in front of him a difficult-to-read look.Meanwhile, the rest of the Red Cage appeared to be dispersed throughout the room. He seems to be on guard and keeping an eye on the situation.
Salvador arrived at their hidden island a few hours after the morning had passed. However, Fabiana was not among the people taken by the man.“Did you leave her in Chicago?”Jaxon’s gaze followed the people Salvador had brought to their island, one by one.“Yes,” the man said as he approached Gioluca’s nursing home. “But don’t be concerned. That woman is in a safe house, and only a few people I trust and I know about it.”Jaxon was aware that asking someone how effective they were at establishing people in organizations similar to their own would undermine their credibility. He stopped asking inquiries as a result.“Has Uncle Gio’s consciousness returned?”The question made Jaxon aware of his wandering thoughts.“He's still sleeping. And trust me, you have to be careful when you talk to the elderly guy about Mia and Disya.”Salvador gave Jaxon a weak smile. He was already aware that this was devastating news for him.“I see what you mean.”When the two arrived at Gioluca’s treatment f
Jaxon was alone on the balcony smoking when Nicko appeared from behind. The two guys stood parallel to the railing, seemingly in silence. Jaxon made the motion of passing smokes between them, indicating whatever had been previously forgotten between them.Now one could see the two males sharing a cigarette. They were admiring the lovely sky, which had a layer of Milky Way far above them.They both have access to a view of the night sky on this island, which is uncommon in urban areas. The sky there was considerably brighter than what they were accustomed to. Additionally, the moon’s crimson light seems to hover gracefully amid the various nighttime sights as if trying to distract the watchers’ gaze from what lies below.Jaxon finally spoke after a long silence. He held his stiff neck from looking up too long.In between cigarette puffs, he added, “Mia met Disya at De La Crush.”Nicko just nodded and murmured in response while placing the end of his cigarette in the ashtray.“She also
Four hours later…Six pairs of irritated eyes were staring at Jaxon.Nicko appeared to be the most agitated of the men at the table.“I told you not to kill him, Jax!”Rey attempted to calm him down for a brief moment.“The situation has now returned to normal. It is no longer necessary to make everything complicated,” said Rey, who attempted to take control of the situation. “Besides, no matter what we tell him, the possibility of a heart attack exists”Nicko tried to take a deep breath and massaged his throbbing temples.“Shit,” he exclaimed, clenching his fists and spilling them onto the helpless table.Meanwhile, Jaxon, who had been on trial earlier, could only look at his friends with resignation. He should have taken a more straightforward approach, but for some reason, his mouth was too bold to reveal everything. There was no way to open the conversation with a topic like that.“I’m sorry,” he said, sighing tiredly.Fortunately, Gioluca is in good health. And it is still being
