âNot one bit!â Jasper snarled, not holding back his thoughts.
âHahaha⦠Youâre out of your mind, Beckett!â Alyssa yelled, pulling her hand away from his grip.
âWhat? You can have the love of your life, but I canât see anyone else? What kind of monopolistic, egoistic bullshit is this? Iâm not some slave, you jackass!â
Her words stabbed into Jasperâs heart like blades.
He recalled how close Alyssa had been in proximity with the spectacled man, and fury rose in his being once again.
Her gaze had been molten and warm, and what could have happened next made Jasper dread.
All he felt now was the need to possess her, to keep her and shield her from everyone else.
âInteresting private life you have, Ms. Alyssa.â Pain, rage, and jealousy coursed through Jasperâs chest. âWhy such a big room all to yourselves? Worried you wonât have enough fun?â
He was trying to enrage her, to upset her, yet all he seemed to be doing was making himself even more upset.
âPft, hahahah!â Alyssa tossed her head back, laughing. âOf course, st* pid! Do you think Iâm still that boring little housewife, Alice White? Iâm capable of so many things⦠You canât even begin to imagine.â
âAlyssa!â Jasper felt like he was having a heart attack. âYouâre leaving this place tonight, no matter what! Donât you dare think about finding anyone else with me around!â

âWe can take you in just because of this!â
The two policemen surrounded Jasper, forcing him to stay put. âIâm no hooligan nor stranger. I know this woman.â
âDo you, miss?â One of the police officers asked Alyssa.
She shook her head. âNo, sir.â
The police stared coldly at Jasper. âIt looks like we have no choice but to arrest you, sirâ
Just then, Jasperâs phone rang. It was a call from Javier.
Still trembling from anger, he answered the call.
âWhere the hell are you? Get your ass back right now!â Javier roared from the other end. âLia tried to kill herself! She has slit her wrists! Sheâs being resuscitated right now in the hospital Jasper paled almost instantly.
âCan you take responsibility and make up your mind in your love life, Jasper Beckett? Why do you keep dragging things on with Alyssa Taylor when youâre already engaged to Liana?
âLook at what youâve done! She might die, do you know that? She saved your life when you were a child, and this is how you repay her?â
