"Remember—life's short, so you should love yourself, and cherish the people around you. Don't wait until you're old and it's too late, and die in regret and frustration."Avid's tone was somber, as he was still being eaten by the regret of being unable to live out his days with Madeline.Renee nodded. "I know. Thanks, Dad.""Come on, don't worry about anything else. Just take good care of yourself, and come to me whenever you need help."Renee's eyes twinkled for a moment at the old king's words, and she hesitated for a moment and said, "There's actually a favor I need to ask…""Yeah?""The truth is… I was pregnant when Tom abducted me. Jasper's child.""A-A child?!" Avid blurted in shock. "Since when? Why'd you only tell me now?"Renee pursed her lips miserably as she said, "I didn't mean to keep it from you. Tom deceived me, saying that my pregnancy was a result of rape. I believed him because I couldn't remember anything in the past, and it was only when Prince Willian helpe

Renee began, "Thanks for your concern, but—""Why don't you go in?" Jasper asked, cutting her short. "I need to speak with Mr. Graham myself."Glancing between both men, Renee then nodded. "Well, alright."Ding.As the door closed, Jasper finally turned back to Adam, who slid a hand in his pocket while holding the lunch box in the other. "So what is it, Mr. Zeller? If it's about staying away from Renee, I think you can just spare me already…""What, do I look that petty to you?"Jasper shot back, calmly taking out a cigarette and smoking it. "You're always so keen to help her, and I'm giving you that chance now."Adam was surprised but soon quickly said, "How? Tell me.""Tom is threatening Renee to return to Ambrossia, so that he can marry her. So if she refuses, Tom will make his move."Jasper then paused, before finishing, "I can tell that he must have some kind of leverage over Renee. Most importantly, Tom has planted fake memories into her mind, and she would suffer splitt

Turning toward Renee, Jasper said, "But if I merely wanted to possess you, I could just do what Tom did. So you have nothing to worry about when you accept my love, and you'll never have to repay me."Every word was sincere and earnest, and just hearing that left Renee in tears, pain, and happiness overflowing in her heart at the same time.She suddenly strode up and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Thank you, Jasper."Her cheek was pressed against his chest, and she could feel his heartbeat and his scalding warmth, all of which comforted her endlessly.Jasper's heart was racing in an irregular rhythm and pounding loudly, causing his chest to shudder.As Renee looked upward at him, he looked downward at her, his hands on the handrail as he refrained from moving.Her eyes darted between his handsome face, loving gaze, and bobbing Adam's apple.She knew that he was restraining himself, but for some reason, she stood on her toes and gently pressed her lips against his.She clos

As Renee wasn't coming out anytime soon, Jasper went to the other room for a bath.When he was done and went outside, he found her on the couch swiping through her phone.Her long hair was held up with a claw clip, with locks of hair dangling loosely by her cheeks that made her look all the more charming.Jasper was left stunned as he watched, and he whipped out his phone to take a photo from afar.However, as he didn't usually use his phone camera, he didn't turn off the shutter sound.Snap!The sound effect rang loudly in the room, and Renee looked up at him. "Are you done?""Uh… Yeah."Jasper scratched his head, uneasy as he was caught in the act.Still, he smiled and said, "Just wanted a photo because you looked so beautiful just now."Having read tons of information on Jasper, Renee thought he'd be stoic, wild, and even ruthless as others claimed.And yet, the impression she was getting was that those things didn't apply—instead, he was gentle, tame, and affectionate.

Luke was standing at the door and watching.He couldn't help finding the scene bittersweet himself.They were all there to see how much Jasper had suffered over the years and naturally felt for him.While they didn't understand, they were respectful and supportive.After all, Jasper's grandfather, Donald Zeller, was himself a man fiercely loyal to his wife. He could well have passed those genes down to Jasper ."Back to the office, sir?" Luke asked.Jasper eyed Simon instead. "Stay here. Guard her with your life, and have someone watch the cameras as well. Screw up again, and no one can save you from me."Luke and Simon were both comrades forged in fire. While Luke could be smarter, Simon was the better fighter, and Jasper had therefore always engaged Simon when someone needed protecting."Yes, sir. Absolutely," Simon replied, bowing his head.In reality, he wasn't all that confident when Renee was whisked away from right under their nose back in Cromenia.They were just luck
