Soon, the two walked into the large villa. Looking around, Fiona still couldn't keep her eyes off how luxurious the villa was.

It was probably even more luxurious than her family's villa. So, this was the underworld leader house.

It seemed like there was still a lot to learn.

"Mr. Jasper, here you are," Antonio's voice came, pulling Fiona out of her thoughts.

Turning around, she came in face with Antonio who was greeting Jasper. Seeing his respectful gaze, she couldn't help but swallow the invi

  • Do you hate Sophia?

    Jasper’s eyes fluttered open as he stared at the ceiling. Memories from last night rushed back to mind as a wave of happiness coursed through him.It's been the most peaceful night ever. He picked his phone from the side table but he didn't bother checking the outcome of the video he asked Jackson to release. He believed he didn't need to.A devilish smirk curved on his lips as he dropped his phone on the bed, heading to the shower room. His voice was tired, more like groggy. He took off his clothes and stood under the shower for many minutes. He believed it could help with overstimulation.His happy hormones were more active than they had ever been. The feel of water droplets on his skin made him even happier as fresher skin emerged. He washed himself and quickly got out of the shower room. That was the best way to start his day after placing his enemies in panic mode.For the first time in a while, he took his time to search for the best outfit to put on. His eyes landed on the perf

  • The video

    Jackson shook his head slightly as he glanced at the wall clock. The last command given to him by Jasper was yet to be carried out.As soon as it was 1am, he clicked on the last video recorded, played it and shook his head before releasing it to the Internet, a smirk dancing on his lips.Being in charge of causing Internet chaos was, according to him, something to boast about. He kept replaying the video, feeling pretty satisfied with Elise’s face that showed clearly and Sophia's situation.Only a blind man would deny that Elise pulled the trigger after pressing the gun to Sophia's chest. It was much clearer than crystal. He walked away from where he dropped his device, quite convinced by how the internet was blowing up without much of his effort.As soon as Jasper started receiving calls from different people, he knew his command had been carried out. He wouldn't receive so many calls on a normal day, not even in such a desperate manner. He stared at the screen each time a call notif

  • Destroy them!

    Sophia sighed “So, it’s true. Detective Diamond is dead. That’s shocking.”Jasmine replied “Yes, Sophia. He is gone. A lot has happened in the past few weeks.”Bai Zhe made an observation, “A lot. The Gray Firm also disappeared without a trace. Until now, no word.”“Which of the firms?” Zoey asked, astonished. She was hardly aware of anything. All Jasper told her was that he was going to Oakridge, he didn't tell her why he needed to leave so quickly or that Sophia was even in danger.“The Gray Auditing Firm that you know. They took out their business logo and everything. If you go to their former office, you will see that there is not any evidence that it was once a firm,” Bia Zhe explained.“Hmmm. That’s bad,” Sophia added, “They helped me and Detective Diamond as well.”They sat in silence for an interval. Then all of a sudden, Bai Zhe turned to Sophia “Can I tell you something real quick?”“Of course, what is it?”“Your family was involved in your kidnap”Jasper almost facepalmed

  • Too much information

    For a second, Jasper remained dumbfounded. The news he had just heard tied his tongue.They were worse things than he had seen and heard from Jackson? Human trafficking in Silverlake?How could human beings be extremely wicked to another fellow human?“The Valmont have been trafficking people in Silverlake?” Zoey asked in shock, Goosebumps all over her skin.“Not just Silverlake, Zoey.” Sophia replied, “They are one of the largest traffickers worldwide, in and out of Europe, and all other continents too.”Jasper stood to his feet after hearing those words Sophia just said.“What a way to make money” Jasper mumbled sadly.He had met Elder Valmont once—at the banquet where he introduced himself to Elsie. The man didn’t look like someone who could kill a fly. Although, he didn’t pay much attention to him since he didn’t come to the party for him. “How dirty.”As strange and disturbing as it sounds, it is exactly what was going on. Human trafficking was now a full time business. But he

  • Behind the scene

    Jasper’s eyes brightened the moment he spotted Sophia hale and hearty, her attention fixed on the food which Jasmine had prepared for her.Beside her on the dining table was Zoey whom he had called earlier to come look after her, and Jasmine.Jasper stood by the doorway, a finger placed on his lips to keep Bai Zhe and Rowan quiet. He watched his sister take a big chunk of the meat and placed it on Sophia’s plate. Sophia was about to complain when she raised her head and saw Jasper standing by the door.Sophia froze at first.Everyone turned towards the door to see that Jasper was already home.Sophia’s eyes slowly became red and teary. Before she knew it, she jolted off from her chair, her arms wide open as she ran towards Jasper who received the hug with a wide smile.He sighed in relief. He thought he had lost her. She was alright.Even Sophia didn’t believe she would live there alive. With her head still resting on his chest, she murmured the words that had bothered her since she

  • Meeting Adjourned

    Just as Elder Vittorio dropped the question to Jasper, Jasper smirked. Panic never found its way to his heart.He had an answer for him. For all of them.He always did.With an annoyingly calm expression, he turned to Vittorio to answer the question for the furious elders staring at him like they wanted him dead the next minute.“I believe…” Jasper spoke up, but he ended up stammering because of the beep from his phone in his pocket. He pulled out his phone and stared at the screen.Jasmine was the caller.There definitely had to be an update on Sophia's health. He'd done a lot to keep her safe; he couldn't gamble with her health over an answer no one could fight him about if he didn't give it.He turned his back to the elders as he walked towards the door, taking the call.“Jasmine?”“Active. Sophia is awake now.” Jasmine summarized the essence of her call. “She wants to talk to you. Be here in a few minutes?”“You bet.” He hung up the call and slipped his phone back into his pocket
