Jessica rested against the headboard, her fingers idly following the pattern on the sheet. Her gaze was blank.The assistant's quiet "no" seemed to confirm where she stood with Shane. She was an old acquaintance he was expected to look after, nothing more."I want to see him," she said softly.The assistant paused, clearly not expecting the request. After a moment, he nodded. "Alright. I'll let Mr. Jenkins know."He left, closing the door quietly behind him. Jessica turned toward the window.She lost track of how long she waited. Eventually, she barely noticed the monitor beeping beside her.Then the door opened, and Shane walked in with Andrea at his side.He wore a black trench coat that emphasized his tall frame. His usually stern expression looked a little softer, though his features remained drawn and sharp.Andrea held his arm. In an elegant white dress, with understated makeup and a gentle smile, she looked effortlessly composed.When she saw Jessica, she let go of

Cain scoffed. "Shane Jenkins? Never heard of him. Out here, we make the rules!"Before he even finished, the men closed in and grabbed her backpack and phone. One stripped the watch from her wrist while the others took the rest of her expensive gear.Jessica fought to stop them, but a hard shove sent her sprawling into the deep snow. Cold worked its way through her winter clothes as she struggled to move."Leave her." Cain looked down at her without concern. "Three hours in this weather, and she'll be frozen solid."The men laughed as they piled everything into the SUV and drove off. The roar of the engine faded into the storm, leaving Jessica alone in the open snowfield.Snow fell harder, gathering on her clothes and gradually covering her. The wind stung her face until she could barely feel it.She tried to push herself up, but her strength ebbed away. Soon, even raising a hand took more effort than she could manage.As despair set in, she stared up at the gray sky and thoug

Shane excused himself to use the restroom, then sent his assistant a voice message."Have someone follow her. Keep her in sight at all times." His voice was low and firm. "Report anything unusual immediately. And find out exactly who she's hired."He put his phone away and stared at his grim reflection in the restroom mirror.He knew Jessica well. Beneath her gentle manner, she was stubborn, and once she decided on something, talking her out of it was nearly impossible.She was determined to go into the Southreach interior to find Amelia and Christopher. But she didn't seem to understand that she could be walking straight into a trap.Early the next morning, the staging area on the outskirts of Southreach stirred to life as dawn broke.Jessica stood beside an SUV outfitted for the snow, checking her gear. Heavy winter clothing protected her from the cold, and goggles covered her eyes.More than a dozen armed men in camouflage waited behind her. They were an imposing group, t

"You're wrong," Christopher said quietly. "You and I have never been alike."He never wanted unchecked power or a business that dominated the world. He wanted to keep Amelia safe, uncover the truth about the past, and help Zephyr Group grow without sacrificing its principles.Lincoln's expression darkened. "You're turning me down?""Yes," Christopher said. "I won't work with you."Lincoln stared at him, searching his face for any sign of doubt. Finally, he gave a cold smile. "Alright. You've got guts. I'll give you that."He retrieved his cigar from the nightstand and turned it between his fingers without lighting it. For a moment, he simply studied Christopher, his stare hard and unrelenting."If you want to make things difficult for yourself, go ahead. Let's see where that gets you." His voice went cold. "I hope you don't regret it."He turned and walked out. Once the door closed, Christopher shut his eyes and slumped against the headboard.His chest wound ached again, bu

Shortly after Samantha left, the door quietly opened again. Lincoln strolled in without his bodyguards, wearing a tailored black trench coat with the collar open.He held an unlit cigar between his fingers and looked faintly amused. Crossing to the window, he turned his back on Christopher."Samantha's offer doesn't sound so bad." His low, slightly raspy voice broke the silence. "An engagement, a wedding, a move overseas. Leave all this behind and start over."Christopher rested against the headboard, his face still pale. He watched Lincoln coldly."You didn't come here to help her convince me."Their alliance was a matter of convenience. Lincoln and Samantha each wanted something from the other, and neither had any reason to be loyal.Lincoln chuckled and turned, appraising Christopher as though he were something valuable he hoped to acquire.He settled into the chair beside the bed and set his cigar on the nightstand. His fingers tapped steadily against the armrest, an irrit

Lincoln surveyed the room, looking amused. When he turned to Samantha, there was a hint of admiration in his voice. "You're even more ruthless than I am."He gave her a few slow claps, as if applauding a performance. "The Zephyr fortune and Christopher himself. You really do want everything."Samantha faced him. "That's only the beginning. I'm taking back everything the Bloom family lost, piece by piece."Lincoln raised an eyebrow. "And when he recovers? Aren't you worried he'll come after you? Because if he does, you're finished."Samantha glanced at Christopher and smiled, her gaze lingering on him with possessive intensity."You think that scares me?" she asked quietly. "It hasn't for a long time."She studied his pale face. "As long as he stays with me, as long as I don't have to share him, I don't care what happens to me. I'd go to hell for that."Christopher looked at Amelia, unable to hide his guilt and anguish. He opened his mouth, but no words came.Giving in would

It was simply a matter of timing.The National Space Administration thought highly of Amelia and even extended an olive branch her way, but she wasn't in a rush to take it."Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Guthrie, but I still want to improve on myself first."Her priority right now was to st

Claire didn't think she was capable of helping Amelia. All the more she couldn't afford to drag Amelia down.She wasn't even planning on telling Amelia about Felix's cancer, but she had no choice when Amelia bumped into her at the hospital that day.Claire's body was wracked with sobs. She wanted

Amelia certainly didn't look like someone capable of slapping another.Tania, whose cheek was still swollen, immediately pointed at her face."No one has ever slapped me this hard! We didn't pursue the matter because we wanted to be on time for this seminar. Since we're here, let's talk about comp

No, impossible!Nicole quickly rejected that possibility.Amelia's brows furrowed when she saw them barge in.She had just hung up when they rushed into the room. What were they…?"What are you doing here?" Nicole asked darkly. "This isn't a place you should be in."Amelia looked at them rushin
