{THE CEMETERY, DAYS LATER}
People could be seen around wearing black, crying and console each other, for the loss of Jasper, as the coffin inside the ground, the priest praying.... May he rest in peace in our hearts forever, "Amen" the congregation concluded as they cover up the coffin and people left one by one.
Lily Rose was reeling from happened days ago, She felt like her world was crumbling around her, and she didn't know who to turn to, since Mother dearest and Adrianna left immediately he was buried
Even if she and her father never got along since when she turned 12, she never thought of hating him, even to the extent of her wishing for his death.
As she walked out of Cemetery, she bumped into Flynn, the last person she wanted to see. But to her surprise, he looked concerned and genuinely interested in her well-being as he looked miserable himself after that night.
"Hey, Lily Rose, I heard what happened. I'm so sorry," Flynn said, his voice soft and gentle.
Lily Rose was taken aback by his kindness. "You're the last person I expected to show me compassion, Mr Flynn Sterling," she said, her voice laced with skepticism.
Flynn sighed. "I know I've been a jerk to you in the past, but I'm trying to change. And seeing you like this... it's breaking my heart."
Despite her initial hesitation, Lily Rose found herself opening up to Flynn. She poured out her fears, her tears, and her frustrations, and to her surprise, he listened attentively.
For the first time, Lily Rose saw a glimmer of humanity in Flynn, and it touched her heart. Maybe, just maybe, there was more to him than she thought.
As they stood there in the hallway, Flynn's arms enveloped her in a warm embrace. "You're not alone, Lily Rose. I'm here for you, no matter what."
In that moment, Lily Rose felt a sense of comfort she hadn't felt in a long time. It was an unexpected solace, one that came from a person she least expected it from.
{INSIDE THE CEMETERY}
The masked man, watched from the shadows as Lily Rose and Flynn shared a tender moment. His eyes blazed with a fierce jealousy, his heart consumed by a dark obsession.
How dare Flynn comfort her?
How dare he touch her?
How dare she let him hug her, heck she is mine to feel my embrace, only mine, so how could she?
The masked man's mind raced with possessive thoughts, his secret love for Lily Rose festering like an open wound. He had been watching her for so long, his masked persona a mere facade for his true intentions.
As he witnessed Lily Rose's vulnerability, his obsession reached a boiling point. He could no longer hide behind his mask, no longer contain his rage.
With a growl, Xavier emerged from the shadows, his eyes fixed on Flynn with a deadly intensity. "You'll pay for touching her," he snarled, his voice low and menacing as he turned around and left while making a call as he rode away with his powerful motorcycle.
As his emotions beyond reason, his jealousy and anger driving him to madness. He is ready to face them now, It is time.
{INSIDE THE MASKED MAN'S ROOM, DEATH EMPIRE}
The masked man sat in his dimly lit lair, a sly grin spreading across his face. "It's time to take action," he said to himself.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Daggers, my loyal one," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "It's time to put the plan into action."
Daggers's voice was eager on the other end of the line. "Yes, sir? What do you need me to do?"
The masked man's laughter was menacing. "I want you to send our spies to capture Lily Rose, Raymond, Flynn, Sue Ellen... and Alessandro. Yes, that's right. It's time to surprise them with my little secret."
Daggers's tone was curious. "And what secret might that be, sir?"
The masked man's chuckle was evil. "Why, my dear daggers, it's the fact that I'm alive, of course! And it's time to put an end to their little games once and for all."
Daggers's gasp was audible. "But sir, are you sure that's wise?"
The masked man's anger flared. "Wise? Ha! I am the lord of them all, the greatest mind the world has ever known. I will not be questioned!"
Daggers trembled. "Y-yes, sir. I'll see to it right away."
His laughter echoed through the room, growing louder and more maniacal with each passing moment. "Oh, this is going to be fun. This is going to be very fun indeed."
As the phone call ended, his eyes gleamed with excitement. He rubbed his hands together in anticipation. "It's time to put on a show. And this time, I'm the star."
The darkness seemed to pulse with energy as the masked man's laughter grew louder, echoing off the walls of his lair.
{ON THE SIDE ROAD TO AIRPORT}
Lily Rose stepped out of the taxi, her suitcase in hand. She was finally leaving the city behind, eager to start fresh in a new place. As she walked to her car, she couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching her.
She quickened her pace, her heart racing. Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind her and covered her mouth. She tried to struggle, but a strong arm wrapped around her waist, lifting her off the ground.
