NovelEnglishThe moment Alyssa's eyes met Jasper's, her heart skipped a beat. Her thoughts tangled in a whirlwind, like a ball of yarn unraveled in haste.
How long had he been waiting there? Had he been here all night? She couldn't tear her gaze away from his captivating, reddened eyes. Tears threatened to spill, and her heart ached.
And just then, she was reminded of the scene at the orphanage the day before-how Jasper had held Sheryl tightly in his arms under that tree.
Alyssa's frail body trembled. She shifted her gaze away from his face, feeling a tightness in her throat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn this life, she had faced sincredibly trying times.
During her twith Doctors Without Borders, she endured sof her harshest moments—starvation, freezing cold, and over ten days without a shower. Yet, even in those circumstances, she never feltpletely defeated. But now, in front of Jasper, she was on the verge of breaking down.
Just as she was about to shut the door, Jasper shot to his feet and charged forward.
Alyssa nearly slammed the door shut on his hand as he slipped it through the gap and grabbed the doorframe.
"What... What are you doing?" Alyssa's eyes remained fixed downward, unable to meet his gaze. But she could still feel the weight of his intense, unyielding stare.
Jasper lowered his head, his breath warm as it brushed against her reddened nose. His chest rose and fell with each deep inhale. "I've been waiting for you." "Why were you waiting for me, Mr. Beckett? I already told my secretary I don't want to see you." Alyssa turned her pale face away. With a slight tremor in her voice, she added, "Please leave. I'm exhausted. I'm going back to bed "Why are you up so early if you're tired?" Jasper gazed at Alyssa's supple face. In a deep voice, he stated, "I remember that you've never been one to sleep in. You were always up early-whether to row or to work out." "It's not like my energy is limitless. I have times when I just want to be lazy." Alyssa shrugged, the corners of her lips curling into a bitter smile. "There was only tI'd ever sleep in. But whatever... Who cares about such a trivial thing? It's all in the past now. It doesn't matter toanymore." Jasper's eyes dimmed.
He thought back to when they lived together. They had been inseparable—especially in the mornings after nights spent together. Alyssa would often linger in bed like a sleepy kitten, unwilling to leave due to the lack of sleep.
He wore her down too much by doing it over and over again. He was too captivated by her.
There was not a single night when he would stop at just once. Each time, he would empty himself, fill her up, and eat her out. He would only be done when she tearfully begged him to stop as she left scratches on his back.
"Does your injury still hurt?" Jasper queried in a raspy voice. He had an iprehensible look in his eyes.

It really broke her heart. At this moment, she truly didn't want to face him. As such, she mustered up her strength to close the door. "Mr. Beckett, since you already have someone new, do note and botheragain. Please leave. Goodbye." en.kikistories However, Jasper was much stronger than her. She could not close the door, no matter how hard she tried.
"If I don't have someone new, can I stay?" Jasper stared straight at Alyssa.
He was always as calm as a millpond, but at this very moment, his voice sounded a tad desperate.
Alyssa didn't believe his words. All she trusted was what she saw with her own eyes.
Yesterday's incident was the straw that broke the camel's back for all the pain that she had been suppressing for days. She waspletely disheartened. It made her wonder if she should just resign herself to fate and allow everything to end like this. en.kikistories So, was God being fair? In the beginning, she had been the one who had fought so hard to be with him. She had thought they would end up together after all they'd been through. But now it seemed that fate had decided otherwise. No matter how much she loved him, she was still losing him. en.kikistories "Jasper... We've already ended things." Alyssa finally looked into Jasper's eyes. She took a deep breath, suppressing the sorrow that was about to burst through her lungs.
She choked, "You're not thinking about how I feel at all! You're refusing to leave even though I've told you to. What the hell do you want? Don't you know that you're really being a bother?" Jasper's grip tightened around the side of the door. He disregarded her rant and maintained a firm tone. "I just wanted to see you." "In that case, who are you here as?"
