### Chapter 1: Chapter-1
Jasper looked into Dexter's bloodshot eyes, confusion pooling in his own as his brow furrowed. "What's going on? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."Xavier chimed in, "Exactly. Just spit it out. Mr. Beckett has seen it all. He wouldn't even bat an eye if you told him the world was ending tomorrow." "Hell, who cares about the apocalypse? At worst, we all go down together."Dexter swallowed hard, suddenly grabbing Jasper by his broad shoulders. In a dead-serious tone, he said, "The White Dove—the one you've been searching for and dreaming of seeing all these years again—I found her!" Jasper's eyes instantly lit up. His heart hammered against his ribs as blood surged through his veins. "Who is she? Where is she?" He had assumed that after fighting side by side on the battlefield, they had parted ways for good, never to meet again. To his complete surprise, he finally had news of his savior's whereabouts. He wasn't going to be let down this time. He was actual
Night had settled over Solana City International Airport. The Beckett Group's private jet touched down and taxied to a stop on the tarmac. The cabin door swung open, and the airstairs unfolded. Jasper stood at the top of the stairs, tall and imposing. A biting night wind swept past, catching the hair at his brow and whipping his black tie wildly. He descended step by step, with Xavier trailing close behind.Xavier let out an irritated sigh. "Damn that Kings' Club. Even with endless money, you can't just walk through their doors—they vet you like you're applying for top-secret security clearance. And even after all that, they still won't give a straight answer. The wait is agonizing!"After all, there was only one way to break through the darkness—to immerse oneself in it completely. Alyssa had voiced those exact words over and over, long ago. And she had acted on them too. That was why she had chosen to bury her deepest, most passionate love, enduring a bone-deep, agonizing
A sharp wave of shock coursed through Jonah's mind, instantly draining the color from his face. He grabbed Sean's rigid arm. "What did you just say? What do you mean Lyse is missing?" In that moment, he completely lost control of his emotions. His trembling voice cut through the air, drawing the immediate attention of every member of the Taylor family. "Jonah, did you just say Lyse is missing? How is that possible? I just spoke to her on the phone this morning!" Silas and his brothers rushed forward, crowding around Jonah and Sean in sheer disbelief. "Lyse? Did something happen to her?" Winston asked.Sitting in his wheelchair, Winston jolted back as if struck by lightning. A loud ringing filled his ears, and a sickening chill rushed through his veins. Overwhelmed by sheer panic, the metallic taste of blood surged in his throat. He doubled over violently and spat up a mouthful of dark red blood. "Dad!" Instantly, chaos erupted. The family scrambled toward Winston, while Cole
Afraid he was seeing things, Dexter cast aside all notions of hierarchy and royal etiquette. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "It's her… It's her! Your younger sister is the White Dove whom Jasper has been desperately searching for!"The White Dove? The Taylor family members exchanged looks, utterly perplexed. They knew that the once-rebellious Alyssa had gone abroad to work with Doctors Without Borders, saving lives and treating the wounded. During the two years she spent abroad, Winston had been so sick with worry that he could barely eat or sleep. That being said, they had never heard of Alyssa having a nickname like that. Naturally, Jonah didn't know about it either. But what he did know was the reason why Alyssa had gone all the way to Luminara, willingly throwing herself into danger where she could lose her life at any moment. It was all so she could be closer to Jasper, even if only by a fraction. Even if she had to watch over him without him ever noticing her, she would still b
This man carried an undeniable presence. His bearing radiated authority, and his physique was unmistakably that of a seasoned military officer. The Taylors exchanged uneasy glances. Jonah, however, remained calm, his gaze steady as the man approached. Without hesitation, the stranger lowered his head in reverence before the crowd. Then, dropping to one knee, he declared, "I am Dexter McGrath, head of security for the royal family. It is an honor to meet you, Prince Jonah."Everyone was floored. It felt like a scene straight out of a movie—grand, surreal, and unforgettable. Even Julien, standing by, looked on in sheer bewilderment. He knew customs varied across nations, but to witness such absolute submission left him shaken. Kontina was no ordinary constitutional monarchy. Its royal family wielded genuine military power, unlike the largely symbolic monarchies elsewhere. In other words, as the prince of Kontina, the love of Julien's life would eventually share equal power ove
"Moms," Jonah repeated.This time, his voice was louder and filled with even more affection. "I'm sorry for keeping you both waiting so long to hear me call you 'Mom'. I should have done this a long time ago, but I kept overthinking things and letting myself hesitate. "I was far too indecisive. Even so, Mandy and the two of you have always been just like a mother to me. My siblings and I owe you everything for raising us. "It's just a pity that I won't be able to repay the three of you as often now. Please forgive me for leaving."As Jonah spoke, he moved to sink to his knees, and Julien prepared to follow suit. However, Colene and Lyla quickly caught them, helping them back to their feet just in time. "Oh, Jonah, we understand," Colene said, trying her best to force a bright smile. However, tears still spilled from the corners of her eyes as she continued, "But in our hearts, your mother is the only true wife your father ever had. No one can ever take her place, no matter how

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer th
