Adrian Snow's Return
In a lab, Adrian Snow stood in front of the glass wall watching. The silence was thick in the air as people around did their thing while he watched. The wall of glass stretched from one end of the room to the other, overlooking a vast underground facility. Below, machines hummed softly, metallic arms moving with precision as they assembled something far more advanced than ordinary technology.Robots.Not prototypes or experiments. They were weapons. Weapons for the war that is to come. Adrian Snow stood with his hands tucked neatly into his pockets, his gaze fixed on the activity below.His expression was calm.But his eyes were sharp and calculating. He was watching everything.Behind him, a large digital screen flickered quietly.Data streams, surveillance feeds, movement tracking. And right at the center was Jasper Brennan.A live feed.Adrian’s lips curved slightly as he turned to watch Jasper. “So…” he murmured, voice low, almost amused. “You finally noticed.”The screen sho
First Move
The roar of the jet engines slowly faded into the background as the private aircraft came to a complete stop.The moment the cabin door opened, Jasper didn't wait, he quickly stepped out of the jet, his coat brushing against the wind as his sharp gaze swept across the runway.Ashford. He noticed the small team that had been waiting for him at the other end. Tiger wasn't there. He wanted Tiger to remain with Sophia. He didn't know what Adrian was planning but if Adrian is at Ashford as the system had reported, that means he was here for Sophia.When he got to his team, with long steady strides, he asked immediately, “Where is she?" No greetings.No pleasantries." Office. She hasn't left yet,” Mark responded.Jasper’s jaw tightened slightly,“Security?”“Fully deployed,” Mark answered. “Per your orders. Inner and outer perimeter covered, and Tiger is with her”Jasper nodded once.Yet something didn't feel right. The air felt off. He could feel it. He just didn't know what was wron
Strategic plans
The moment Jasper stepped into the house, the atmosphere shifted. It wasn’t the same calm, controlled environment he had left behind days ago. Now, it feels heavier. Tense. Like the walls themselves were watching.He suspected and couldn't help but blame himself. The system had asked him to remain in Ashford, but he still went back to Silverlake thinking Adrian was there. Sophia walked behind him but couldn't say a word. Jasper left for his room. He loosened his cufflinks slowly as he walked in, his expression unreadable. But beneath that calm exterior, his mind was moving rapidly trying to connect pieces, replaying events, dissecting patterns.Everything felt too sudden. Too rushed. Too hard. Adrian Snow.Now that he has a system as well, it would be difficult to take him down. Adrian knew his moves, Adrian acts like he owns Ashford. And that pissed Jasper off. He was glad nothing happened to Sophia. But how much can he protect her? “Boss.”Tiger’s voice broke through his th
Trap one set
Sophia’s anger faltered slightly.The truth, raw and heavy. She exhaled. Her eyes squarely on Jasper who looked back at her with emotions brewing within. “And what about you?” she asked.Jasper didn’t answer.Because the truth was he wasn't even sure. He had never had an enemy who had systems before. And he thought the systems only choose good people to merge with. Adrian Snow didn't only escape prison, he just threatened him with Sophia. This shows that he hasn't changed one bit. In fact, he is worse than he was before. A brief silence passed between them.Then Sophia took a step back, “Fine,” she said quietly. “I’ll stay wherever you want me to.” Jasper’s brows furrowed slightly. That was too easy.“But don’t expect me to sit quietly and do nothing,” she added.There it was.He almost smiled.“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” he said.Their eyes met again. Something unspoken passing between them. Then she turned and walked out.The door closed and silence returned. Bai Zhe w
Sophia's stubborn
One morning, Sophia stood by the window of her room. Her face carried so much sadness as she watched the city of Ashford with sad eyes. She hated that she had to comply with Jasper's wish without knowing what was really going on. He was supposed to tell her. If it involved her, she deserved to know. She watched as life continued for those in Ashford. They weren't locked up, allowed to do whatever it was they wanted to do. She wondered if this was ever going to end. At first, it was Elise who kidnapped her and now, this. She doesn't even know what she's up against this time around. With how cautious Jasper was, she suspected this was even worse than Elise. She could feel it.And what frustrated her the most wasn’t the danger—It was Jasper.The way he shut her out, not telling her anything. The way he decided everything without her. The way he looked at her last night…like she needed to be protected.Her fingers tightened slightly by her side. She could stand by him. She could f
Adrian's plan made easy
Jasper couldn't understand why Sophia was being stubborn all of a sudden. No matter how he tried to make her understand, she's bound on doing what was wanted. “If he is as dangerous as you say he is,I’ll find out for myself.” She hissed. And that did it because Jasper's gaze darkened completely.“You’re not leaving this house.” he ordered, raising his voice in the process. Sophia stared at him in disbelief. He just yelled at her. They held gaze for a while before Sophia smirked and said calmly, “Watch me." She walked past Jasper, heading right back to her room. Everyone in the living room watched her until she completely disappeared. Jasper's jaws clenched. " Tiger,” he called. " Yes boss.”" Keep an eye on Sophia. Increase the security in the compound. Make sure she doesn't leave your sight.” He ordered. " Yes boss.” Yet, Jasper felt uneasy. Adrian has nothing to lose. Unlike Elise who had companies and loved ones, Adrian had no one, and nothing. He could kill without giv
Jessica's Turn
Sophia got home. Jasper wasn't. She went straight to her room. Tiger stood at the door. He didn't speak to her neither did she ask if Jasper noticed her absence. Tiger called few minutes later,“She's in." " Hm” Jasper hummed. He knew. He watched her and made sure to follow until she was home safely. “What if she makes the same move tomorrow?” Tiger asked. " Let her.” Jasper replied. They found out Sophia had a secret door in her room. She has snuck out through that door, Tiger didn't know she was gone until later. He blamed himself so much that Jasper had to stop him from beating himself. Sophia was stubborn and that was no one's fault.As expected, the following morning, Sophia did the same thing. She left the house. Didn't take any guard and went straight to the Darlington's corp with Jasmine. Sophia sat behind her desk at Darlington Corp, her fingers lightly tapping against the surface as she reviewed the documents in front of her. Everything looked normal on paper—contr
Interesting Sophia
The office was dead silent. Jasmine’s grip tightened around the file in her hand.Sophia, however, remained calm, “You’re very dramatic for someone who claims to be here for a partnership.”Jessica chuckled softly, “And you’re very calm for someone standing on a battlefield.”Their gaze locked on each other, none ready to back down. Seconds passed and then Jessica spoke again, “Tell me something, Sophia, do you know who your enemies are?”Sophia’s voice came steady, “I don’t need to.”Jessica’s brow lifted slightly, “No?”“No,” Sophia said. “Because whoever they are… they are messing with the wrong woman. They cannot succeed.” Jessica stared at her for a moment then burst into laughter. She laughed for a while before finally saying, “I like you.” Sophia didn’t smile back, “That makes one of us.”Jessica tilted her head slightly, studying her again, longer this time. Sophia didn't turn her gaze away, she allowed her. Looking back at her deeper. There was no fearNot weakness.Bu
Opposing Systems
It was late. Sophia was home. So was Jasper but he refused to step out of his room. She was stubborn. He allowed her to be. He had assigned a hundred and twenty guards to follow her in the shadows. He doesn't have anymore potions to save her. He cannot be reckless. But she was. Jasper stood alone in his study, thinking. His coat had been discarded somewhere behind him, his cuffs loosened, his tie slightly undone.But none of it softened him. He wasn't comfortable. His heart is heavy and he wondered what is causing such unease. His mind went back to the prison, the words that Elise had said that kept hunting him. “What you have… Adrian has it too.”Adrian’s voice over the phone.“I already know how this ends.”Even though he had not seen Adrian face to face as of recent, he believed the words from Elise. Adrian have a system now. He was too precise in his doing. Now steps ahead of him and even think of things before he does. The way Adrian dismantled his operations like he ha
An Ally gone
Jasper called instantly for an emergency meeting. It was 2 a.m. but everyone was vigilant. The look on Jasper's face was gloomy. The first thing he said when everyone took their positions in their seats was,“No fear." Gazes at him, he turned to look everyone in the eyes, “No fear. He feeds from our fear." They didn't understand everything but they understood one thing. When dealing with Adrian Snow, show no fear. In the operation room covered in screens, data streamed endlessly. Location, surveillance feeds, movement logs… Adrian wasn't the only one who could monitor their movement without them knowing. He could too. The system’s words echoed in his mind again, “Only one host remains." This was it. It was either him or Adrian. He had a brief yet important meeting with them before he finally dismissed them. Everyone left with a new fire, all except Jackson. He remained with Jasper as he watched the feeds. " Boss” Jackson called as he looked at the screen before him. Jasper
