Jasper was strong despite being injured, much to Alyssa’s surprise. With a glimmer in his eyes, he


    pulled


    her toward him. She fell into his arms, and their bodies pressed against each other.


    Jasper pinned her down by resting his left hand on the back of her waist. It was still hooked to the IV


    drip.


    “Jasp-” Alyssa teared up from the anxiety. Her words were cut short by his sudden kiss.


    His damp and warm lips brushed against her. Upon tasting her sweetness, he became a beast out of


    control, kissing her aggressively and taking her in.


    Meanwhile, Alyssa was dizzy from the kiss and unknowingly moaned. She tightened her grip on his


    chest,


    leaving behind red marks.


    She was going through a mix of emotions-shame, humiliation, grievance… Driven by those emotions,


    she gave him a bite on the lip. Surprisingly, he did not flinch and only hugged her tighter as she bit him.


    deeper.


    The metallic taste of blood spread in their mouths. He endured the pain she inflicted on him but did not


    let go until she was almost out of breath.


    They panted heavily, foreheads dotted with sweat. His lips were bloodied from her attack just now.


    “You can’t do anything you want to me just because you’ve saved my life! You said that yourself!”


    Alyssa


    growled, panting and blushing hard.


    He gazed at her affectionately and ran his fingertip across the blood. He said, “You mentioned you’d


    make it up to me as long as it’s not an outrageous request.”


    “Wasn’t that considered outrageous?” Alyssa spoke but was unaware of the tears streaming down her


    face. She raged at him, “When will you let me live? I thought we were divorced. You wanted me gone!

    “When will you stop bullying me? You have no right to touch me now that I don’t have feelings for you


    anymore!”


    “I regretted it,” he croaked with tears in his eyes.


    Unlike her, he could not afford to disy his emotions openly. In the two decades, he had kept his


    feelings under strict control to the point that he was clueless about how to express himself.


    “What did you just say?” she questioned, her eyes wide open in bewilderment.


    “Alyssa, I regretted the divorce. I regretted letting you go. Would you give our rtionship a second


    Would you give our rtionship a second chance?


    From where? He wanted a second chance when he had no idea what happened in the 13 years. He


    was even oblivious to her miscarriage. The audacity to ask for a second chance!


    Her eyes clouded over. There wasn’t a hint of joy. Jasper picked that up. His enthusiasm turned cold,


    and


    his heart squeezed.


    “Things have ended between us. Do you understand? There’s nothing more between us beyond this


    point,”


    she dered cold-bloodedly with tears in her eyes.


    She added, “We didn’t even start on the right foot. The journey from our marriage to divorce was filled


    with mistakes.”
