Alyssa slowly narrowed her eyes at Jasper with a look that could cut through steel. He appeared a bit flustered under her intense scrutiny. She didn't mince words as she remarked, "That's disgustingly corny, even if you think it isn't."He stammered, "I just ... want to be closer to you." Perplexed by her sudden anger, he realized he was utterly clueless when it came to comforting women. As a company president known for his decisiveness in business and eloquence at global summits, he now felt utterly helpless before the woman he loved."Please, don't call me Lyse, like how you called her 'Lia.' It only makes you associate me with her, and that's a grave insult." She fixed a piercing look on him. In response, he pursed his lips, feeling his throat catch.The pain he had inflicted on her had never truly lessened. She remained as hurt as the day they divorced. Every time he evoked their past, she would latch onto it and dwell on the hurt.Never had she considered forgiving him

"A family member I know is celebrating her birthday soon. I'd like Sharon to design a dress as a gift to that family," Jasper responded with a hint of discretion in his voice. He was keeping his surprise gift for Lyla a secret from Alyssa.Despite his good intentions, Alyssa took it the wrong way. She smirked at him and said, "Oh, right. I forgot that Her Royal Highness Mrs. Beckett is celebrating her birthday this weekend. I assume you're trying to win your dad's favor by sending her a gift. How considerate of you.""Alyssa Taylor," he warned her with a frown. He didn't mind a bit of teasing, but he didn't want to be misunderstood."When you contact Sharon, please don't mention that the dress is a birthday gift for Sophia Kirkman. I'm worried she might give you a good scolding," Alyssa retorted and angrily turned her back to him.Then, she added, "Are you finished? If you are, please leave. You're distracting me while I'm working—Ouch!" In a moment of distraction, she accidental

The setting sun bathed Alyssa and Jasper in a radiant golden hue, their figures entwined beneath the glass windows. It was a breathtaking spectacle. The fading sunlight felt as tender as the kiss they had just shared.The kiss left her feeling a bit giddy, a sensation that was electrifying and momentarily immobilizing. Initially, she punched at his chest and shoulders, but over time, her strength waned. His masculine charm left her breathless, and her legs went weak.She found herself gradually retreating until he pressed her against a table, causing the items on it to scatter to the floor.In the midst of making out, she let out a moan that seemed both like a protest and a plea. Jasper was incredibly turned on by the sight, and he blushed all the way to the tip of his ear. An unprecedented burning feeling engulfed him as if she had lit a fire on his body.At that moment, he made an unspoken promise to himself that Alyssa was the only woman he would ever kiss in such a manner

"I have moved on," Alyssa replied without thinking and hugged Rose back. She continued, "If I don't move forward after the divorce, what does that say about me? For 13 years, I didn't treat myself right because of him. But now that I've left him, I won't make the same mistake again. It's time to focus on the future."Rose sighed, her eyes misty as she could see the pain in Alyssa's heart from the way Jasper had treated her. Healing would be a long, arduous journey."Exactly! We must look ahead to the future. A smart woman does not blindly fall in love!" Rose concurred and patted Alyssa on the shoulder. She playfully chirped, "Madam, let's have a feast tonight and enjoy some good wine. I think I'll find your tragic love story quite entertaining.""Oh, my love life is a complete mess. I can't even bear to recount it," Alyssa replied with a smile and lifted her chin. "And you, Rose? You're always swooning over attractive men. Any new romances to share?"Rose scoffed, "What romance

The news had come in—Sharon had made it clear that she had no intention of designing a dress for Sophia."Sharon's studio staff informed us that she will not design a dress for you, no matter what amount you offer," Betty timidly conveyed the message to Sophia.Sophia's eyes bulged in anger. She growled, "But why?""Mom, don't press for the reason," Betty found it difficult to disclose Sharon's reasoning."Quit beating around the bush! Tell me now!"Shuddering, Betty bit the bullet and confessed, "Sharon said that she will not ruin her reputation by designing dresses for clients with tainted reputations." Betty had, in fact, rephrased Sharon's words to sound civil, as Sharon's original remark was incredibly insulting. It appeared that Sharon held Sophia in low regard."Damn it! This is outrageous!" Sophia exclaimed in a fit of rage and hurled her expensive makeup products onto the floor. Her eyes blazed with anger, and her face turned beet red. "She's just a dress designer. W

Javier's gaze wavered. He sternly rebuffed, "What nonsense is that? What do I have to do with Winston Taylor's woman?""You were a shareholder of TS Network before we even met. Back then, Lyla's fame was on the rise, and rumors were flying that you were her sugar daddy. Reporters took photos of you and Lyla meeting in private. "Are you sure there was nothing between the two of you?" Sophia couldn't help but mention the past at the thought of Lyla. She was green in envy.She had chosen to date Javier not only because he was the heir of Beckett Group but also because rumors had it that he was Lyla's man.That was why she felt compelled to take everything in Lyla's possession. And if she couldn't, she was willing to destroy it all.Growing increasingly enraged, Javier asserted, "There's absolutely nothing between me and Lyla."Sophia was stung by the intense look in his eyes and cowered. He added, "If there had been something between us, do you think I'd have ended it with her an

As the weather was getting colder, Alyssa stopped rowing on the lake behind the villa. Still, she was disciplined when it came to workouts. Clad in a snug-fitting pink athletic outfit, she went for a treadmill run instead. Her face was flushed, and she was covered in sweat.With a towel and a bottle in each hand, Sean reported, "Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Beckett have compiled the guest lists. After comparing them, I found a 50% overlap."She didn't look surprised. "As expected."Sean looked worried and confessed, "I'm a little concerned now. Madam Lyla is having her birthday party at the KS World Hotel, while Sophia is having hers at the Berenike Hotel. It smells like a rivalry all over again.""It's not us who wanted to compete against her. It was that witch who wanted to host her party on the same day as Lyla's. She's not afraid of karma, it seems," Alyssa was able to speak and taunt Sophia, all while running hard on the treadmill."You're absolutely right. Sophia is the

Jasper tried to suppress his cough. Nevertheless, upon entering the villa, a fit of coughing seized him, likely triggered by inhaling the blend of cold and warm air."Mr. Jasper!" Mrs. Rosie exclaimed and went up to him. She felt sorry looking at him coughing his lungs out. "What's wrong? You have a bad cough. Did you catch a cold?""I'm fine. Mrs. Rosie, just get me some water," he instructed, hiding the fact that he was injured.That did not lessen Mrs. Rosie's concerns. "But you don't look fine at all! Why don't we get the family doctor to check on you?""I'm really fine. I just need to take some medications," he reassured her with a smile.Just then, the butler, Barry Durham, announced, "Mr. Jasper, Mr. Javier would like to talk to you in his study."… Jasper frowned at the scene that greeted him in Javier's study. Javier was on the couch with Sophia, both dressed in matching silk nightrobes. She had put on some light makeup, and her hair was tousled. She leaned limply in
