The hospital room was quiet except for the steady beeping of the monitor.

Lisa Johnson stirred, her eyelids fluttering open as she winced in pain.

The stark whiteness of the room greeted her, along with the heavy weight on her shoulder.

Her vision adjusted, and she saw Jack sitting by her bedside, his posture relaxed but his eyes shadowed with concern.

"Jack…" Lisa’s voice was weak but steady.

Jack leaned forward, his expression softening.

"You’re awake. How are you feeling?"

Lisa managed a faint smile, though her eyes glistened with guilt.

"Like I’ve been run over. But I’m alive. Thanks to you."

Jack shook his head, his tone firm.

"You’re alive because of your own courage, Lisa. You jumped in front of a bullet for me."

Tears welled up in Lisa’s eyes.

"I promised your parents, Jack. I swore I’d protect you. And look at me… I couldn’t even do that properly."

Jack reached out, gently placing a hand over hers.

"You kept your promise more than anyone ever could. You put yourself o

    "Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." Jack sang softly, wiping the glass door with circular motions. His childlike voice carried through the house as he worked, a gentle smile playing on his face. "How I wonder what you are..."His mother-in-law had asked him to clean the doors, and he took to the task with innocent enthusiasm. The cloth moved in uneven patterns as he continued his lullaby, lost in his own world.Jack, a son-in-law of the Johnson family, was once the commander of the Iron Wolf Battalion. But during war, he was attacked by the enemies, and he lost his memory, and now he was a mentally retarded useless son-in-law of the Johnson family."Up above the world so high..." he hummed, swaying slightly. "Like a diamond in the sky..."The front door slammed open, making Jack jump. Mike Johnson stormed in, his work boots leaving muddy tracks on the freshly mopped floor."Hey! You!" Mike barked, dropping heavily into a chair. "Get me some water. Need to wash my feet."Jack tur

    The morning sunlight filled the halls of Havenwood as Matilda rushed through the entrance, her heart pounding in her chest."Commander!" she called out, her voice breaking with emotion at the sight of Jack standing by the window. "You're really alive!"Jack turned, his posture straight and confident – a stark contrast to the broken man he'd been a year ago. "As you can see, Matilda, I've recovered in more ways than one.""Commander, I..." Matilda composed herself, though tears threatened to fall. "When we received word of your return, I came immediately.""After all this time, you still maintain your loyalty," Jack observed, studying her carefully."Always, Commander." Matilda's voice carried absolute conviction despite her emotional state. "No matter my position now, nothing has changed."Jack's expression darkened as he moved to his desk. "Then you know about Kyle. About what happened when I was... not myself.""Yes, Commander." Matilda's voice softened. "The incident with Ale

    The room fell silent, the audacity of Alex’s words shocking even the Carter family’s closest allies. Jack leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his piercing gaze never leaving Alex."You’re proud of killing an innocent man?" Jack asked quietly.Alex shrugged. "Proud? No. Amused? Definitely. He was stupid enough to get in my way."Jack stood, his movement measured but filled with purpose. The room seemed to shrink as his presence loomed larger. "A year ago, I was broken," he said, his voice low but powerful. "I couldn’t protect Kyle, couldn’t fight back, couldn’t even defend myself against scum like you."Alex smirked. "And now what? You think dragging a coffin into my father’s party makes you a threat? You’re still just a joke, Sullivan."Jack took a step closer, his gaze locked on Alex. "This isn’t just a coffin, Alex," he said. "It’s a declaration. For every injustice, there’s a reckoning. And tonight, it’s your son turn."The room held its collective breath as Jack

You’re a broken man trying to play hero."Jack tapped the screen, and a video began to play. It showed Alex’s Maserati, speeding recklessly through Havenwood’s streets, the timestamp clearly marking the day Kyle was killed.

One of them, Anna Young, recognized him immediately."Jack? What happened?"

"Get her to the OR, stat! I’ll stay updated on her condition, Jack. Don’t worry."Jack sat in the cold, sterile waiting room, his bloodied hands resting on his knees.

The day was supposed to mark the official end of his marriage to Lisa Johnson, and while he felt no regret, there was a faint sense of hesitation in his heart.The office was quiet, its sterile atmosphere punctuated by the occasional shuffle of papers. Jack glanced at his watch and frowned. Lisa was late. Not typical of her, even under strained circumstances.He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. The line rang twice before it clicked. A gruff voice, not Lisa’s, answered."Well, well," the voice drawled. "If it isn’t Jack Sullivan."Jack’s grip on the phone tightened, his voice icy. "Who is this? Where’s Lisa?"The man chuckled, a low, menacing sound. "Let’s just say Lisa’s tied up at the moment. If you want her back, you’ll come to the Johnson family house. Alone."Before Jack could respond, the line went dead.Jack arrived at the Johnson family house within minutes, his body taut with t

The civilians won't even know we're here."Emma Brooks stood beside Jack, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Jack... who are you really?" she whispered.He gave her a slight smile but didn't answer, instead turning to Matilda. "The villa?""Prepared as requested, sir. Top of Northfield Heights, overlooking the bay. Only two properties up there – yours and Alexandra Fielding's.""The Fieldings?" Emma interjected. "They practically own the state capital!""Move out," Jack commanded the troops. They dispersed with practiced efficiency, vanishing into the mountain paths as if they'd never been there.As Emma was led away, she looked back at Jack, who still stood calmly by the lake, the
