After a while, Alyssa realized Jasper had disappeared. Leaving the party on her own, she ran into Mrs.


    Rosie in the corridor. "Mrs. Rosie, have you seen Jasper?"


    "Mr. Jasper went back to his room. I knocked on his door for a long time, but he wouldn''t open it,"


    Rosie replied, shaking her head. "With everyone here tonight, enjoying such a lively asion, I don''t


    understand why he''s isting himself like a depressed teenager. It''s some of him to call it a night this


    early."


    Alyssa frowned, her smile wry. She felt concerned, aware of how downcast Jasper could be on his


    mother''s death anniversary. Moreover, the confrontation with Javier at the cemetery likely brought back


    painful memories. Returning to such a lively home must have stirred up his emotions.


    "Mrs. Rosie, could you please entertain our guests on the balcony? I''ll go check on Jasper."


    Alyssa stood before the room''s door, taking a brief pause before gently knocking. "Jasper? Are you


    there?"


    There was no response.


    "Don''t be sad. Come and enjoy the delicious food outside. Everyone is waiting for you."


    Jasper was silent.


    "I know you''re upset about what happened today. I understand that you must be missing your mother. I


    feel the same way when I visit my mother every year."


    Alyssa ced her hand on the door panel, her voice as gentle as a dove. "Don''t worry. I will make sure


    to treat you really well from now on. I know you''ve always felt lonely, but don''t forget, you have me,


    Grandpa, Mrs. Rosie...


    "You have my whole family with you. Family, friends, the love of your life. You have everyone that


    anyone could have."


    Before she could finish, the door opened.


    Alyssa was abruptly pulled into the darkness. In the next moment, the door shut quietly.


    Jasper''s sturdy form pressed her against the door in the dark. Their breaths intertwined as their bodies


    slowly warmed up.


    "Lyse." Jasper murmured seductively in her ear.


    Alyssa breathed lightly, her ample bosom pressed tightly against his sturdy chest. Her face reddened


    like a tomato.


    No one knew their bodies as intimately as they did.


    Alyssa''s heart raced in this suggestive atmosphere. She quivered slightly beneath him.

    "You didn''t say all that to trick me, right?" Jasper''s eyes glistened in the dark.


    "Huh?" Alyssa''s attention wavered under his intense gaze.


    "You said that I have what others have."


    Alyssa yfully traced along his sharp jaw, saying, "Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"


    Jasper swallowed hard, his mouth dry. "I want to eat now."


    "Let''s go. The barbecue''s ready."


    "No, I want to have what is mine. I want my special menu," Jasper said as he pressed against her


    harder. His hands locked her wrists and ced them over her head.


    A glint flickered in Alyssa''s eyes. Then, she realized she had been too naive. Jasper only craved for


    her.


    Before she could even process it, Jasper''s lips crashed into hers. She let out a low gasp. It was as if he


    was extracting her soul with his passionate and wild kiss.
