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.


    …


    When Sean saw Alyss a and Jameson em erge from the elevator in the underground parking lot, he


    hurried over. “Ms. Alyssa! How’s the injury?”


    “All taken care of. What about ourattacker?”


    “I’ve had someone escort him back home,undercover. He’s currently at our private headquarters.


    There’s no way he can escape,” Sean whispered to her.


    “Great!We’re going to have loads of funfor the next few days.”Alyssa grinned devilishly.


    Sean nodded.”Whenever you’re ready, Ms. Alyssa.”


    “Wait for me by the car. I want to talk tothe guy first.”Alyss a then turned back to Jameson.


    Jameson gazed steadily at her, leaning against his sleek Bentley like a marble Adonis.


    “You’ve seen my rtionship with Mr.Beckett. It’s moreplicated than I’d like.”Alyssa smiled at him,


    her tone tinged with guilt.


    She continued,”I had to do what I did, hence the roley. Regardless, I shouldn’t have dragged you


    into my mess. I’m sorry. 11


    “Don’t be. It’s my honor.”Jamesongrinned.


    Alyssa felt even guiltier now.


    “You’re wee to do it again if you’dlike,” he added.


    “You joke, mister,” Alyss aughed.”Ipray nothing like this happens next time.”


    “Make sure no water gets on your wound.Don’t eat anything too inmmatory. Get some rest as soon


    as you’re home. It’ste. 11


    Jameson couldn’t bear to part with her, but he knew when to stop. He turned and got into his car.


    “Wait!”Alyssa eximed, rememberingan important question she needed to pose before Jameson


    drove away.


    The ink-ck window rolled down slowly, revealing Jameson smiling kindly in the backseat.


    “You called me Ms. Alyss a earlier. How doyou know my name? Have you known me from the


    beginning?” Alyssa asked


    curiously.


    “Yes.”


    “I have never revealed my identitypublicly, and barely anyone knows who I am here in Sna City. So


    how did you know? Have we met before?”


    Jameson’s smile deepened for a few seconds. “I’ll tell you the next time we meet.”This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    His secretary and bodyguards then boarded the car before it departed.


    Ten secondster, Alyssa smacked herself in the forehead. “Shit! I forgot to ask for his name!”


    …


    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.


    “I never thought we’d meet again like


    this, Alyssa,” he murmured.


    “Mr. Schmidt, I’ve investigated herconnection with Jasper Beckett, and there’s no information


    whatsoever of their marriage! But there’s information indicating that they only divorced a month ago,”


    Carl reported, scrolling through his findings on his tablet.”Ms. Alyssa is officially single right now!”


    “That doesn’t matter. She said I’m moreimportant to her than Jasper is.” When Jameson recalled


    Alyssa’s words, his heart fluttered and swelled gloriously.


    “Congrattions, sir! You beat JasperBeckett!” Carl said, feeling happy for his boss.


    “But that’s not enough.”Jameson tracedthe outline of Alyssa’s face on the window, his eyes filled with


    warmth.”I want her to have eyes only for me. Me, and no other.”
