Click. The kidnapper hung up before Theodore could respond.
In a dark room, Darian sneered as he scrolled through the call log on the phone. When he heard
footsteps, he turned around and saw Jasper walking in. “Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to
keep an eye on Ariana?” he asked coldly.
“Don’t worry. She can’t escape,” Jasper sneered as he stared at Darian.
Darian snorted and handed him a plane ticket. “After you release Ariana tomorrow, go to the pier and
take a boat to Milpon Island Airport on the third. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Jasper took the plane ticket and studied it. “On the third? Father, are you leaving first?” he asked with a
smile.

man. Since we have his wife, he won’t show us mercy. We should split up to be safe. I’ll head to Milpon
Island with the cash and wait for you there.”
Jasper looked at Darian, and then began to laugh. “Dad,” he said, his voice steady, “Are you trying to
abandon me?”
Darian’s face shifted, feigning anger. “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re my son. Why on earth
would I abandon you? If I had such intentions, why would I fight to get you out?”
Jasper had no comeback to that. “Go if you must,” he finally said, “But Ariana comes with me.”
Darian’s eyes bulged. “Are you out of your mind?” he said. “Ariana is a ticking time bomb. She’ll bring
nothing but trouble.”
Recognizing the determination in Jasper’s eyes, Darian voiced his irritation. “There’s no way we’re
dragging her along. If you can’t bear to hand her back to Theodore, then kill her.”
With those words hanging in the air, he drove Jasper out.
Outside, the smile faded from Jasper’s face. He gave Darian’s back a hard look before turning his back
and heading downstairs.
At the staircase, he paused, Looking off into the distance. He made his way to the end of the hallway,
where he yanked a figure out from a corner.
It was Brielle.
Taken aback, Brielle gazed at Jasper, her eyes wide with fear, her voice locked in her throat.
Jasper Looked at her, a grin playing on his lips. He asked in a soft tone, “When did you get here? How
much have you heard?”
“I didn’t overhear anything. I just came to fetch something,” Brielle managed, her voice quivering.

Something about Jasper was different. He seemed Like a new person after his release from prison,
and it scared her.
Brielle shrank back, avoiding his gaze.
This villa used to be their secret meeting place before they became a couple. She had come here to
prepare for the movie premiere the next day.
Unable to find the right outfit and jewelry, she thought of the pieces Jasper had gifted her in the past
and decided to search for them. What she hadn’t anticipated was overhearing the tense conversation
between Darian and Jasper.
Jasper’s gaze bore into Brielle. He clearly wasn’t buying her claims.
After scanning her from head to toe, a slow smile spread across his face. “Well, since you’re here, you
might as well stay.”
In the confines of the basement, Ariana lay supine, her eyes open and devoid of strength.
