After Jaxon and Henry were released from the ESU camp, they were taken to Sky Care Medical Center for a medical check-up to ensure they were healthy.

Mr. Thomas Sterling wanted the best medical attention for his son, considering Jaxon would soon be resuming work with numerous responsibilities awaiting him at Emerald Multisource Corporation. He ensured that his son received high-level security.

Jaxon was assigned a VIP ward, with his family's security keeping a watchful eye on him at all times.

After the news of his release, Alisha quickly made her way to Sky Care Hospital to see her fiancé and her brother. At first, she was skeptical about whom to visit first, but after much consideration, she decided to see Jaxon.

Upon reaching the VIP ward assigned to Jaxon, she noticed several Sterling security personnel standing guard. She approached and asked to be let inside

"Excuse me, I'm here to see Jaxon. I just want to make sure he's okay." Alisha declared.

But the security denied her entr

    It took Lana three days before she could finally convince El to see James for just one time. They had been talking on the phone when Lana brought it up again. “...so what do you say El? Would you see him please?” She heard Ellen audibly sigh and then held her breath in wait for the response. “Okay then, fine. I’ll see him, today, 4pm.” Ellen finally said. Lana could breath easily now she could even scream, “Thank you so much El, thanks.” she said. “I’m doing this for you Lana, I hope you know that?” Ellen said sighing. “I know, I know and I am grateful, I love you El.” she said. “Okay okay, let him know, same place we met the other day.” Ellen said and somehow Lana could hear her smile in her voice although she couldn’t exactly say what it was that could be making Ellen smile so much. “Okay bye then. I’ll call you again.” Immediately Lana finished the call between herself and Ellen, she rang James. James was mopping in the company when his phone rang. He brought it out from

    “All good?” he asked through her window, she looked a little startled but answered.“Yes. No, I don’t know. My car was all fine and now it just wouldn’t start.” she said.“Why don’t I bring you home instead and we can figure out what to do.” he said repeating himself from earlier.“I called someone already, they should be here soon.” she said.“It’s late now, El. I’ll take you home.” he said not asking anymore.She picked her bag again, got out and locked the doors then went with James.“Really sorry for the inconvenience.” she said as soon as they began to roll out.“Inconvenience? Not at all, taking you home can’t possibly be an inconvenience though, never.” he added that last part in a whisper that made her smile.“If you don’t mind my asking, what happened between you and Alisha, I heard from Lana.” she said.He explained everything to her as it had all happened.“She is very ambitious and well she chose that ambition, there isn’t much one can do in such cases. I just get the feeli

    The next morning, James and Ellen returned to the restaurant not to dine this time, they went there with a skilled mechanic to take a look at Ellen’s car and to find out what really happened to it.“So how is it?” James came around and asked the mechanic, his name is Victor.“Someone tampered with the car, you see this place here where it looks like a couple of cuts were made? The person who did this was either an amateur or simply that he had limited time to do whatever he had to.” Victor said.“So was it just something done to stop movement in the car or?…” he didn’t finish speaking but Victor was already shaking his head.“The miss here has to count herself lucky that she didn’t drive this car, ultimately she’d have gotten into an accident that would have probably ended her life.” Victor said.Ellen’s gasp turned them both around, she had been coming to ask about what was wrong with the car and if it was drivable.“Why would someone want to kill me?” Ellen asked. She was shaken, any

    Meanwhile, back at the Sterling mansion, Jaxon was pacing to and fro, with anger evident in his face.“What do you mean she’s alive?” Jaxon screamed at the cab driver.“I tried but she jumped surprisingly quick out of the way and I just was able to knock her unconscious.” he said.“You tried…you tried?! I pay you good money and you just tried? Go find her and complete the job or else consider yourself dead.” Jaxon threatened.“I am sorry to be so nosy sir but according to what you told me, the lady in question hasn’t exactly done anything to you, you just want to get back at this guy right? don’t you think we have done enough to her, she is not your major target after all.” he said.Jaxon glared at him until he lowered his gaze, “You are giving me orders now I see?” he asked, his body language threatening the poor driver.“No sir, I’ll get at it immediately. I’m sorry.” he apologized.“You had better be. Now scram.” Jaxon commanded.The cab driver turned around and out of the building,

    Charlie had taken his leave, different person now, a salary earner. “So James what do you plan to do with Jaxon now that the truth is out in the open?” Lana asked. “I’m thinking about, I probably should go confront him.” James answered. “Do you really think that would be a good idea?” “What else would you have me do?” James asked. “Let us take it slow, we would catch him in his own net.” Lana said. “And how do you propose we do that?” “Just wait.” Lana said. “James? Lana?” El spoke weakly. “El you are awake.” Lana and James both said at the same time. “Come on lie back down, you still need to rest.” James said, gently pushing her back down. “What happened? It all occurred too fast. Why was he trying to kill me?” El asked. She was just waking up and still confused and she couldn’t make head or tail from what had happened. “Just relax El, we got it under control, I promise you no harm whatsoever is going to come you anymore.” Lana promised, patting Ellen’s hair. “I’m tired.

    In Ellen’s room, James and Lana sat quiet for a while, none speaking until Lana broke the silence.“I told you James.” Lana said and stifled her laughter so she didn’t disturb Ellen’s rest.“Yeah right you did. I can’t with that look on his face and everyone talking at the same time and shoving phones and flashes in his face.” James said shaking his head and grinning at the recollection.“So what do you plan to do?” Lana asked.“What do I plan to do? With Jaxon?”James asked.“Yes of course with Jaxon. You seriously are not going to let him go just because he got flustered by some cameras and few people calling him out. That isn’t your plan yeah?” Lana asked.“I thought that was enough to put him back in his place.” James said.“Oh James. Jaxon just got into his car and drove away, knowing him, he’ll probably run to his mighty father for help and the poor girl would be shut up before she can even start to speak, and James is just going to walk free, end of karma. And this wouldn’t be e

    James was thinking on his way to the office. He couldn’t exactly decide how to feel about Ellen.He knew there was something but he didn’t exactly know what it was and something told him that if he saw Alisha again, if he talked to her, he’d get drawn in again.After all he said he guessed he still wasn’t quite over her. Was he happy with her? He couldn’t tell but he had at least felt satisfied.He had liked calling her his wife, sex with her was also good and he had been generally okay with how things were with them and he would have stuck to that if not for what had happened with them.And then there is Ellen, a fire burned within him for her and when they had kissed that night, he had wanted to take it farther than just that, her flaming red hair, her little tilt to the side and her smile was enough to get him all fired up.*** On the same day, Alisha was somewhere wringing her fingers. She had heard of Jaxon’s scandal, read about and watched videos of it.He had been accused of

    James was done with his work and was heading to the hospital where Ellen was now alone. Lana had also had to go at some point.He was stepping in when he accidentally bumped against someone because he was on his phone.“I’m sorry I didn't mean to do that, I wasn’t looking.” James said.“It’s okay, I wasn’t either.” she said.He looked up and realized that it was the girl who harassed Jaxon earlier on.“Hey, it’s you from earlier. Look I just want to say I am sorry for how things happened with you.” he said.She just gave a weak smile, why are you the one saying sorry?” she asked.“I don’t know, it’s just I think guys, men should be more responsible and on any occasion I see one not behaving that way, I get ashamed of being a man myself.”

His breathing was steady, but his anger was still boiling beneath the surface.“This isn’t your concern.” His voice was cold, sharp.Liam chuckled softly. “Oh, but it is. Everything that happens in this company is my concern now.”Williams coughed weakly, blood dripping from his mouth as he tried to push himself up.Kai’s hand twitched, but before he could make another move, Liam straightened, his eyes darkening just slightly. “That’s enough, Kai.”It wasn’t a suggestion.It was a command.And for the first time, Kai hesitated.Bec

The company was undeniably impressive—modern, efficient, and filled with professionals who looked like they had their entire lives figured out.Yet here she was, a former college dropout, now working in the corporate world among men like Liam Carter and Kai Nakamura. Mysterious. Dangerous. Powerful.She exhaled softly and adjusted the strap of her handbag. “So,” she finally said, glancing at Kai. “What exactly is my job here? Because as far as I know, I have no official title, no formal role, and no one’s given me a job description.”Kai smirked, hands tucked into his pockets as he walked. “You assist me. That’s your job.”Lina raised a brow. “Assist you how? Like your personal secretary? Your bodyguard? Your emotional support human?”Kai chuckled, shaking his head. “You wish. I don’t need emotional support.”Lina snorted. “Ri

She glanced at the caller ID—Mrs. Jenkins.Taking a deep breath, she answered. “Good afternoon, ma’am.”“Alisha,” Mrs. Jenkins’ voice came through, calm but firm. “I need you in my office immediately.”Alisha’s stomach twisted slightly. Had something gone wrong during the meeting? She quickly grabbed a notepad and made her way to the HR Director’s office.Inside, Mrs. Jenkins was seated behind her desk, reviewing documents. She looked up and gestured for Alisha to sit.“You’ve been chosen to show Liam Carter around the company,” she stated, setting the papers aside.Alisha blinked, surprised. “Me?”“Yes. Since you oversee the junior staff and know the company well, it makes sense.”Alisha hesitated, unsure how to respond. She wasn’t nervous about the task itself, but why hadn’t Liam told her about this whole acquisition before today? They had been secretly

    Chapter 417: The meetingThe atmosphere in the boardroom was thick with tension. The long mahogany table, polished to a shine, was occupied by the most powerful figures at EMC. At the head sat Mr. Sterling, his sharp eyes scanning the room as if he could bend the situation to his will by sheer force. Across from him sat Liam Carter, relaxed but in full control, his presence commanding attention.Eric Wood, standing at the front of the room, cleared his throat. His fingers clutched the stack of documents in his hands, but despite his professional demeanor, there was something off about him—something weighed down by an invisible force.“As you all know, we are here to finalize the acquisition deal,” Eric said, his voice steady but lacking its usual authority. “Liam Carter has made an offer to purchase fifty percent of EMC, and after thorough discussions, we have decided to proceed with this agreement as it meets the company’s and the government’s requirements.”The murmurs started almos

She lay still for a moment, her body relaxed beneath the sheets, when her phone vibrated on the nightstand.Blinking against the light, she reached for it, her lips curving into a slow smile when she saw the name on the screen. Liam Carter.She answered, bringing the phone to her ear.“Good morning, stranger.”His deep, smooth voice greeted her. “Morning, beautiful. Hope I’m not waking you.”Alisha stretched lazily, still curled up in bed. “Not really. I was about to get up.”“Liar. You sound too comfortable.”She smirked. “Maybe.”A soft chuckle rumbled through the speaker. “Did you sleep well?”“Mmm… kind of.”“Bad dreams?”“No, just… thinking too much.”Liam hesitated, then his voice dropped slightly. “About what?”She bit her lip, debating whether to tell him. But instead, she dodged. “Nothing important.”“Lies.”Alisha sighed. “Fine. I was thin

    Chapter 415The Wood residence in Diamondville was silent except for the ticking of the clock on the wall. The usually cozy living room, filled with soft lighting and warm-colored furniture, felt suffocating under the weight of frustration and desperation. A storm was brewing, not outside, but within the hearts of the people gathered there.Eric Wood sat on the edge of the couch, his hands clasped together, eyes fixed on the coffee table as if searching for answers within its polished surface. Beside him, his wife Mary leaned back against the cushions, her arm wrapped around Gwen Greene, who sat stiffly, her fingers tightly gripping the fabric of her jeans. Her red-rimmed eyes were proof of the battle she had been fighting—one that she was losing.James Wane stood near the window, his arms crossed, his sharp gaze observing the street outside as if expecting trouble at any moment. Unlike the others, he wasn’t drowning in emotions. He was thinking, calculating, waiting for the right mom

    Chapter 414Fifteen minutes later, The Sterling estate loomed in the darkness, its iron gates already open, waiting for Williams’ arrival. The driveway was lined with expensive cars, the polished surfaces reflecting the dim glow of the outdoor lights.Williams parked near the entrance, killed the engine, and sat there for a moment. He could see Mr. Sterling standing at the top of the steps, flanked by two of his men, Morris Huggo and another unknown guard.Taking a deep breath, Williams stepped out of the car. The cool air hit his face, but he didn’t flinch. He walked around to the back and yanked open the door.“Come get him.”The two guards moved quickly, lifting Jaxon Sterling from the backseat. He groaned as they dragged him toward the house. Williams watched with mild amusement.Mr. Sterling’s gaze followed his son before settling on Williams. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his jaw was clear.“How bad is it?” Sterling finally asked, his voice low.Williams shru

The phone rang twice before Mr. Sterling’s sharp voice came through.“Tell me you have my son.”Williams smirked, glancing out the window over at the unconscious Jaxon, who was slumped against the wall, his wrists loosely tied in front of him. His face was swollen, a deep cut above his eyebrow still fresh.“I have him,” Williams said, his voice smooth.There was a pause on the other end, then the cold reply. “Good! It’s done.”Williams exhaled slowly. “Good? Now, listen—I barely convinced the kidnappers to let him go. They weren’t happy about it, saying you messed with their boss, but luckily I knew one of them and gave them the money you sent. They took it and agreed to drop it. No loose ends. Although a few wanted more money.”Mr. Sterling’s voice was unre

The headlights cut through the evening dimness, casting long shadows across the estate’s stone-paved entrance. He exhaled slowly, leaning against the railing.Kai had already told him over the phone how things had gone down in Red Waters. The mission was completed, and somehow, Kai had decided to bring a girl back with him—an assistant, he had said. Liam found that strange. Kai wasn’t the type to get involved with anyone, much less take someone under his wing. But then again, Kai was full of surprises.He downed the rest of his drink, placed the glass on a nearby table, and made his way downstairs.By the time he stepped outside, Kai was already out of the car, standing beside a young woman who looked hesitant, almost as if she wasn’t sure whether to move or stay put. She had wide eyes, taking in the mansion with an expression that
