She didn’t cry or fuss about it all this while, instead, she was very calm. She did everything quietly as usual.


    He thought she had let it go.


    Bemy picked up his phone and quickly called his men.


    All their phones were switched off.


    “The signal transmitter on the deserted ind needs to be turned on to have a signal. If it isn’t, there’ll be no signal there,” Elvis reminded.


    “Arrange a speedboat to get me on that ind immediately,” Bemy said anxiously…


    …


    Even though the ship was on autopilot,Ste increased its speed. She didn’t want to drag it on any longer.


    Afterposing herself, she shut her eyes andy on the bed.


    To tell the truth, she wasn’t tired at all.


    She was about to go to sleep forever, so there wasn’t a need for her to take a nap.


    However, what could she do if she were to stay awake?


    So she decided it was better to go to sleep.


    Time passed by slowly. In the middle of the night, the ship docked onnd.


    Ste put a knife in her pocket and came out of the room. She felt a little chilly as the sea breeze blew past her.


    She shuddered.


    “Mrs. Milton, please wait for a moment,” the soldier said. After making sure that everything was safe, he let Ste get out of bed.


    Ste was finally back home at the nest she shared with Jasper.


    There was no heating inside the house, so she opened the closet to pull out a quilt, which was slightly damp.


    However, for some reason, she felt warm all over being back here. She smiled slightly as serenity swept over her.


    She opened the door and saw that the soldiers were standing outside.


    “There are a few rooms here. Decide among yourselves how you’re going to divide it. The quilts are still a little damp. You could heat them up with an electric nket first before going to bed. The electric nket and quilts are in the cab,” Ste said softly. One of the soldiers then came up to her and asked if she was hungry.


    Ste shook her head. “I’m not hungry, please go ahead and eat. I’m sorry to have troubled you all toe all this way.”


    After saying all this, she nodded and closed the door behind her.


    Ste walked around the room. She was here thest time to bury the ‘fake’ Jasper, and she had already gathered all his stuff and stored them in a box.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    She picked up the box from the bottom of the cab and opened it.


    There was a gun inside which belonged to Jasper, and there were five bullets in it.


    She took it out and ced it on the bed.


    There were also towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and cups that had Jasper had used before. She couldn’t bring herself to throw all of them away,as she was hoping that one day the both of them woulde back here.


    Well, she was finally back, but not for the reason she wished.


    There were also earphones and a USB disc inside. Apart from that, there was a new pack of gum, a bowl that Jasper had carved from a coconut husk, and a handcraft made of bamboo. All these things brought the memories back to her slowly.


    After looking at each item one by one, she brought the whole box to the roof and burned them.


    She didn’t know what would happen to these things after she died. At least, if she burned them now, her soul may then keep the memories of them forever.


    Burning the whole box took an entire hour.


    At this moment, the sound of a motor pierced through the quiet night.


    Ste frowned. She stood up and looked up at the sky.


    There wasn’t any light in the sky, so it wasn’t a ne.


    Another wave of light rose and fell on the surface of the water. Itlooked like it belonged to a speedboat.


    The speedboat was getting closer and closer, and she thought that she spotted Bemy on it.


    Ste hurried back to her room.


    “Stop her,” Bemy shouted anxiously.


    Ste walked back into her room. Without thinking, she picked up the pistol, aimed it at her head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.


    “Bang!”


    Ste was surprised that it was an empty bullet. Then, the door to her room swung open.


    Subconsciously, she aimed her gun at the door.


    Several soldiers rushed in.


    “Don’te any closer,” Ste snapped.


    The soldiers looked at each other, no one dared to move.


    “Ste, don’t,” Bemy pleaded. His eyes were red, his hair aplete mess. His eyes were focused on the gun in her hands.


    It was true. She dide here to kill herself.


    He wasn’t his normal cool self. His eyes kept ncing nervously at the muzzle pointed at him.


    How could Ste shoot him? Seeing that no one was stopping her, she turned the gun and aimed it at her head.


    Bemy immediately stopped dead in his tracks.


    He continued to panic. “Why are you doing this? You’re carrying a child, and Dante needs someone to take care of him. Isn’t Suzi nice to you too? Am I not nice to you? Aren’t you worried that I won’t let Sean go after a year?”


    “I don’t have the power to decide how other people live their lives,” Ste retreated. “I’ve done my best.”


    “So you’re just going to kill yourself because of that? What would Jasper think? He risked his life to save you several times.”


    “That’s why I have to go to him. Bemy, don’t try to stop me. You can’t stop me.”


    “Believe me, once you die, I’ll throw your body into the ocean,” Bemy threatened loudly.


    “It’s my life,” Ste said with tears and pulled the trigger.


    Seeing how quickly the situation was escting, Bemy shouted, “Jasper isn’t dead, so what’s the point of you dying?”


    “Bang!” Another empty shell.


    Ste and Bemy were both stunned.


    She opened her eyes slowly and looked at him. “Are you telling the truth?”


    Bemy’s intention was to deceive her.


    It was truethatJasper wasn’t dead, but he may as well be. He was worried that if he told her that Jasper was alive, she would flee to Jasper’s side. And once Jasper dies, she would go with him too.


    Then, he wouldn’t have a shot at all.


    However, seeing how things had turned out like this, it didn’t matter if Jasper was dead.Bemy would never stand a chance against him, even though the both of them looked exactly the same.


    But, he still wanted her to live, just like how she wished for Jasper to be alive.


    “It’s true, he’s alive.”


    “You’re lying,” Ste didn’t believe him. She checked the magazine of the gun, making sure the next bullet wasn’t empty.


    “I’ll take you to see him now. If I’m lying, then you could still kill yourself, right? Besides, if you shoot yourself, it’s not as though I could bring you back to life, right?” Bemy blurted. His eyes were still locked on the gun in Ste’s hand.


    Ste eyed him suspiciously. “The bullet passed through the back of his head. I saw it with my own eyes. How could he not have died? Why didn’t hee to look for me if he was alive?”


    “He’s been unconscious all this time.He was still unconscious when I took him from Anthony. I have more than a dozen doctors at my base, who have been looking after him every single day. If you don’t believe me, you could turn on your phone now. I’ll ask them to send a video to you,” Bemy said.


    Ste was starting to believe him. Or maybe, she was hoping that it was the truth. “The signal transmitter is on the roof. You just need to switch it on.”


    Bemy’s men quickly went to turn it on.


    Bemy noticed that his phone had a signal. He quickly switched on the data and video-called the people at his base.


    “Chief, please give your orders,” The party on the other end seemed to have been woken up by the call as he answered Bemy drowsily.


    “Go to Jasper’s ward now. I want to see how he’s doing,” Bemy ordered.


    “He’s still unconscious,” the doctor said as he walked. After a while, he entered the room and aimed the camera at Jasper, who was lying on the hospital bed…
