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
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
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
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
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
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
