Alyssa was seeing someone else now.
Jasper clutched his chest, wondering why the pain was so intense. It felt as if someone had carved a hole behind his ribs.
It was only at this moment that the realization of their divorce struck him like a freight train of bricks.
â¦
When Sean saw Alyss a and Jameson em erge from the elevator in the underground parking lot, he hurried over. âMs. Alyssa! Howâs the injury?â
âAll taken care of. What about ourattacker?â
âIâve had someone escort him back home,undercover. Heâs currently at our private headquarters.
Thereâs no way he can escape,â Sean whispered to her.
âGreat!Weâre going to have loads of funfor the next few days.âAlyssa grinned devilishly.
Sean nodded.âWhenever youâre ready, Ms. Alyssa.â
âWait for me by the car. I want to talk tothe guy first.âAlyss a then turned back to Jameson.
Jameson gazed steadily at her, leaning against his sleek Bentley like a marble Adonis.
âYouâve seen my relationship with Mr.Beckett. Itâs more complicated than Iâd like.âAlyssa smiled at him, her tone tinged with guilt.
She continued,âI had to do what I did, hence the roleplay. Regardless, I shouldnât have dragged you into my mess. Iâm sorry. 11 âDonât be. Itâs my honor.âJamesongrinned.
Alyssa felt even guiltier now.
âYouâre welcome to do it again if youâdlike,â he added.
âYou joke, mister,â Alyss a laughed.âIpray nothing like this happens next time.â
âMake sure no water gets on your wound.Donât eat anything too inflammatory. Get some rest as soon as youâre home. Itâs late. 11 Jameson couldnât bear to part with her, but he knew when to stop. He turned and got into his car.
âWait!âAlyssa exclaimed, rememberingan important question she needed to pose before Jameson drove away.
The ink-black window rolled down slowly, revealing Jameson smiling kindly in the backseat.
âYou called me Ms. Alyss a earlier. How doyou know my name? Have you known me from the beginning?â Alyssa asked curiously.
âYes.â
âI have never revealed my identitypublicly, and barely anyone knows who I am here in Solana City. So how did you know? Have we met before?â
Jamesonâs smile deepened for a few seconds. âIâll tell you the next time we meet.â
His secretary and bodyguards then boarded the car before it departed.
Ten seconds later, Alyssa smacked herself in the forehead. âShit! I forgot to ask for his name!â
â¦
Jameson observed the night scene unfolding outside the window as the Bentley glided silently through the streets. He gently touched the window, with only Alyssa on his mind at that moment.
âI never thought weâd meet again like this, Alyssa,â he murmured.
âMr. Schmidt, Iâve investigated herconnection with Jasper Beckett, and thereâs no information whatsoever of their marriage! But thereâs information indicating that they only divorced a month ago,â
Carl reported, scrolling through his findings on his tablet.âMs. Alyssa is officially single right now!â
âThat doesnât matter. She said Iâm moreimportant to her than Jasper is.â When Jameson recalled Alyssaâs words, his heart fluttered and swelled gloriously.
âCongratulations, sir! You beat JasperBeckett!â Carl said, feeling happy for his boss.
âBut thatâs not enough.âJameson tracedthe outline of Alyssaâs face on the window, his eyes filled with warmth.âI want her to have eyes only for me. Me, and no other.â
