Can’t Win Me Back

When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based.

Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit. Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.

Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness.

"Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.

Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now."

"That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest-you won't find her no matter how urgently you act, will you?"

Grinding his teeth to suppress the storm of rage inside him, Axel finally climbed into the car with Jasper.
