“She’s still in her room, Young Master. She hasn’t come downstairs since she got home,” the maid reported softly.Jackson’s brows furrowed at once.“She didn’t eat lunch after coming home from campus?!”“N–no, Young Master.”“Then why didn’t anyone call her or take her food upstairs?!” Jackson snapped, frustration clear in his tone.“M–Madam Kana already asked her earlier, Young Miss said she wasn’t hungry. Juice and snacks were brought upstairs, but she refused them too. She said she’d come down later herself,” Aunt Kana stammered nervously, afraid she had done something wrong that might anger her master.Hearing that, Jackson exhaled deeply, trying to calm himself. His anger was not from irritation but worry—he couldn’t help feeling anxious about his little girl’s condition.“Prepare dinner in thirty minutes,” he ordered.“Yes, Young Master.”Jackson turned around and walked away—upstairs, straight to Jennyfer’s room.He stopped in front of the door and sighed quietly. For some reas

Tonight, Brielle and Marck continued their favorite activity—something that both of them had become addicted to. Not satisfied with doing it at his company, they were now in a modest hotel room, tangled up once again.“Baby, you said your sister would send us money? Why hasn’t it come yet?”“I don’t know. She’s useless—so stupid it’s painful! Tch! I think we should act on our own. What if we go ahead with that plan we talked about yesterday?”“I’m just waiting for your word. We already hold all the cards. It’s just a matter of choosing which one to play and where. I think it’ll be easier this time—we’ve got allies who can help us over there.”“Hmm, that’s right. But we need a safer place. Somewhere isolated would be better. We also need to plan everything carefully. If Jackson refuses to cooperate, fine—we’ll just leave him there. Then I’ll take over. What do you think, sweetheart?”“Brilliant! No wonder I love you. You’re smarter than I thought. But… won’t your mom find out?”“Of cou

Erick sat silently after hearing all the sharp commands Jackson had just given. His instincts told him the situation was extremely serious, and he began to realize that the well-dressed man beside him was not someone ordinary. It even felt like his own life was now at stake. Though tense, Erick fastened his seatbelt quietly, trying not to make a single wrong move.Jackson drove off at full speed, the car surging forward faster than usual. Before they reached the tall campus gates, his restless hand was already reaching for the phone again.“Jo!”“For God’s sake, Bro! My ears still work fine—why are you yelling?!” Joan snapped, startled enough that his car nearly swerved off course as he drove.“Jenny’s missing!”“What?! Don’t mess around with me!”“If Jenny isn’t found, I’ll fire both of you immediately! You’ll take full responsibility for the investigation!” Jackson’s fury boiled over, his words like fire.“Jackson, are you serious? Jenny’s missing? What do you mean? Was she kidnappe

Jacob’s sharp order echoed through the warehouse, and instantly, everyone rushed out of the large building at the far back.There was no bed, no mat, nothing to soften the cold floor. Yet the demonic lust that had been burning inside Jacob for so long now surged uncontrollably. Inside the closed room, only he and Jennyfer remained. She sat still, silent, unmoving—almost as if she refused to even breathe.From the very beginning, Jennyfer had heard everything. Every vile word had made her blood run cold, her heart stop in terror. If only she could, she wished God would take her life right now—before that filthy man could touch her. The same man who once tried to violate her... in her own mother’s house.Jennyfer stayed still, not daring to move. She held her breath in silence. God had not answered her desperate prayer to die.Brother... why haven’t you come for me yet? Jenny’s scared... she whispered in her mind, her heart trembling, tears burning in her eyes.Silence. No sound at all.

Jacob’s loud laughter echoed through the warehouse, sending chills down Jackson’s spine. The man looked completely deranged, as if he had lost his sanity. Even when he saw the police swarming the area, Jacob only became bolder—now demanding a staggering price to “sell” Jennyfer!“Have you gone insane, Jacob?!” Jackson shouted in disbelief. Jacob was now putting a price tag of one trillion on Jennyfer’s life, demanding the money in exchange for her freedom.“Yes, I’m insane! Do you know why?” Jacob’s voice trembled with manic rage. “Because I want Jennyfer too! I want her just as much as you do! But if you can pay me one trillion, then maybe—just maybe—I’ll learn to move on from her!”Jacob pressed the knife closer to Jennyfer’s neck, forcing her chin upward. Pain shot through her body as the blade grazed her skin, leaving a faint red mark along her slender neck.Seeing that crimson streak, Jackson’s blood boiled with fury. Every instinct in him screamed to lunge forward and snap Jacob
