She continued, “If you didn’t love my Lia, then why did you lie to her? Why did you pro
mise you would marry her? My Lia is too sweet a girl. When you wanted to kill yourself all
those years ago, she rescued you! How could you do this to her? Have you no heart?”
Jasper’s heart ached dully. Those dark memories flooded his chest and mind, making it
increasingly difficult to breathe. Those memories consumed his thoughts until they were
all he could think about.

would be frightened by the sight of her injury.
Meanwhile, Tatiana kept blaming herself for her sister’s accident, making Sean’s heart
clench painfully at the sight. He felt like one more blow might just knock the poor girl out
for good.
Thankfully, Alyssa had dodged slightly when facing the attacker’s blade, so the cut was
only skin-deep.
When she exited the ER, her arm had been treated with medicine and wrapped in gauze.
She even got a tetanus shot just to be safe.
Alyssa tossed aside her dirty, torn sweater, revealing her wine-red silk dress.
Jameson kept a watchful eye on her. His gaze turned seductive as it lingered on her
long lashes and delicate smile.
He took his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders.”Here. It’s cold out.”
“No, thank you.”Alyss a quickly removedit, but Jameson snugly wrapped it around her,
even buttoning the front. 7
“Aren’t you worried your sister andassistant will freak out if they see your injury? Keep it
on for now.”
Alyss a pursed her lips, no longer trying to take the coat off. This man was too kind and

“You’ll be surprised how many women areas tough as I am, sir. I’m sure you’ll be lucky to
meet some of them.”Alyssa smiled.
That made Jameson grin.
“Oh, but I don’t want anyone else. Justyou,” Jameson thought to himself.
“Sir, I appreciate your concern andassistance thus far, but unexpectedly being held by
someone I have no connection with or knowledge of …
“I realize it might have been aspontaneous act on your part, but I’m uncomfortable with
getting too close to strangers,” Alyssa expressed. She distinctly disliked it when Jameson
princess carried her.
“I apologize. I did the first thing that cameto mind when I saw you were hurt.”Jameson
nodded lightly.”I’ll be more careful.”
Alyssa hummed in acknowledgment, pleased. He was genuine enough for her to let this
go.
“Oh, by the way, I don’t believe we’veintroduced ourselves. What is your name, sir?”
Jameson opened his mouth, about to answer, when a cold, harsh voice called from behind
them.
