Jasper strode out of the room and hurried down the stairs, his pace so brisk that Xavier had to jog to keep up.
As Jasper reached the living room, he spotted Justin sitting upright in his wheelchair, alone. Their eyes locked when Jasper was just a few steps away.
Hostility flickered between their gazes.
Curling his lips upward into a slight smile, Justin asked, "Jasper, heading out at this hour?"
Xavier gritted his teeth, loathing the self-righteous air Justin exuded, as if he always held the upper hand. The sight made him want to charge forward and knock Justin clean off his wheelchair.
"It's late. Why aren't you in bed?" Jasper asked coldly, his tone as sharp as his glare. "It seems that broken body of yours is still holding up."
"Jasper, you seem to be in a rush. Did something happen? Do you need my help?"
Justin maintained the smile on his face, disregarding Jasper's sarcastic remark.
"It's none of your business."
Without another word, Jasper swept past him.
Justin's voice followed, low and sinister. "Jasper, there are many people and matters that have nothing to do with you. Why dive into murky waters and bring trouble upon yourself?"
The usual warmth vanished from Justin's eyes, replaced by a chilling sneer. He fixed Jasper with a look of pure malice, his eyes gleaming with a cruel light.
Jasper froze mid-step, a chill spreading through his body.
Justin never spoke without intent. His seemingly casual remarks always carried the weight of provocation, often inciting chaos without so much as a blink. Behind his polished exterior lay a rotten core, a man who had traded humanity for manipulation.
Jasper turned back, his eyes narrowing. Without warning, he kicked the base of Justin's wheelchair.
Justin jolted, gripping the armrests tightly to steady himself. Though he managed to avoid falling, his composure was shattered, leaving him looking utterly undignified.
Xavier, watching from the sidelines, felt a surge of satisfaction.
"I don't discriminate against the disabled," Jasper said, leaning slightly forward. His towering frame loomed over Justin as he spoke with icy disdain. "But I despise those who pretend to be disabled to garner pity when they are actually capable of walking.
"Mr. Justin, if you're truly crippled, I wish you a speedy recovery. However, if this is merely an act, I hope you never rise from that wheelchair again."
With that, Jasper stormed out, disappearing through the front door in a flash.

It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
