Axel was standing on a balcony at Heightsnew Villa when he answered Jameson's call, his black coat billowing in the wind. The chilling wind stung his cheeks.

Jameson's mocking voice was like a devil's whisper. A lump formed in Axel's throat, making it hard to breathe. His eyes burned red. "Jameson, you must have a fucking death wish!" "I've heard that countless times in the last 15 years. But talk is cheap. No one's touchedyet," Jameson replied with a chuckle. "Care to be the one to walk into the lion's den, Mr. Axel?" "You think you're a lion? Ha!" Axel scoffed, his chest heaving. "You're just a hyena feeding on carrion." "Amber and my secretary, Carl, will be having their grand wedding in Kontina next Saturday. She's the woman you're deeply in love with. Will it be a lifetof regret for you if you missed her wedding?" A seasoned secret agent, Axel's instincts were razor-sharp, yet Jameson's words chilled him to the bone.

"Jameson, if you hurt Amber, I'll hunt you down. To the ends of the earth, or hell itself!" "I plan to give the newlyweds a grand gift on their big day." Jameson sniggered, his voice filled with twisted excitement. "I hope you'll join us in Kontina. If not, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." "Jameson Schmidt!" Axel roared with hatred in his eyes.

But Jameson had already hung up, leaving Axel's rage and hatred to conshim.

"Amber, wait for me. I'll save you, even if it kills me," he vowed.

As Axel inhaled deeply, the frigid air felt like knives in his lungs. His muscles tensed as he stepped away from the balcony. Startled, he froze. "Dad?" As a top agent, Axel was quick and sharp. But his emotions had clouded his senses, and he hadn't noticed Winston's arrival. "Were you talking to that Schmidt bastard, Axel?" Winston's gaze was concerned. "Why did he call you? What does he want?" "Nothing," Axel replied, his lashes fluttering, his face pale.

Years of solitude and the nature of his job had made him a lone wolf. Due to this, he had always found it hard to confide in anyone. Besides, he and Winston had always been distant. So naturally, he kept to himself.

"Nothing? How could it have been nothing?" Anxious, Winston went right up to Axel. "You are my son. No matter how annoyed you are byor how much you try to avoid me, you are still my son! Axel met Winston's gaze, a crushing pain in his heart.

"Jameson is a ruthless man with many evil deeds under his belt. He even dared to setup so he could have Lyse. As for you... he wouldn't even bat an eye even if he killed you." Winston grabbed Axel's shoulders, desperation in his voice. "Ax, don't go. No matter what Jameson says, don't go."Content belongs to en.swAxel let out a haughty laugh, feigning indifference. "Have you forgotten that I'm a secret agent, Dad? You would've seen my obituary long ago if Jameson's little trick was enough to stumble me." Content belongs to en.sw"Damn it. I wasn't joking with you!" Winston was furious, hitting Axel's head. "As your father, I am forbidding you from going!" Despite the pain, Axel felt a warmth in his heart. This rare moment of connection made him regret their distant past.

"I have to go, Dad," Axel said, his gaze determined. "I must see Jameson. My beloved woman is in his hands." "What woman? What woman can be more important than you?" "She is as important toas I am to you." Waves of sorrow surged within Axel. He choked, "I want to marry her, Dad. I want to be together with her." Winston was astounded. His heart wrenched. The Taylors were passionate lovers.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll return safely with your daughter-in-law," Axel promised, hugging Winston.

Winston was near tears. Knowing he couldn't stop his son, he said, "Just cback safely. I'll wait for you." Axel chuckled. "I will. You'll be crying tears of joy when I return." Winston scoffed and smacked Axel's head again. "What's this talk about tears? Don't talk about crying! It's bad luck!" Axel escorted Winston back into his room. Just as he cback out, he saw Jasper, Alyssa and Jonah standing in a line. They looked ready for battle.

"What are you guys doing?" Axel blinked. Even then, he joked, "Is this the night before a war? Have you been reading too much military fiction?" "Axel, we're going with you to save Ms. Altman," Jasper said, holding tightly onto Alyssa's hand. His gaze was intense and determined.
