Christopher’s regret

Christopher swiftly withdrew his hands from his pockets, his fingers curling into tight fists as he moved closer to Jasper. The threat in his stance was palpable; his expression was murderous as he clasped Jasper's collars, his anger on the edge of boiling over.

"I will kill you if you try to cross your limit."

But Jasper didn't back down, meeting Christopher's aggression with his own ferocity. He shoved Christopher's hands away, his voice unyielding as he delivered a defiant response. "I am not afraid of your hollow threat."

"Don't think of me as a helpless man you can bully," he said, holding out his index finger. "I am not the Jasper you remember."

"Yeah," Christopher scoffed, his mocking stance was clear. "You have grown powerful. But at what cost? You sold yourself to Mr. Hubbard."
