Chapter 14

Jasper escorted Liana into his office under the scrutiny of everyone present in the building. The moment the doors shut behind them, she leaped into the man’s arms and clung to him in tears.” Thank you for coming for me, Jasper. I was so scared…”

Jasper’s eyes were impenetrable pools as he pushed her away.

“Jasper…” Liana was puzzled.

“Why did you do it?” His tone was icy, the look in his eyes no less intimidating.

“What do you mean?”

“Why did you go to Solana Daily about our marriage?”

She breathed a sigh of relief and tried to go back in for another hug. “Because I want to marry you. Don’t you want to marry me?”

“I do, but what you did was inappropriate.” His expression remained stern, completely missing his usual gentleness.

“What’s inappropriate? You and Alice aren’t married anymore!”

I also promised Grandpa we’ll only make our divorce official after his 80th birthday.” Jasper stepped back to avoid her. “She’s still my wife in name.

“I don’t feel sorry for her, but Alice isn’t some other woman. None of this should’ve happened.” He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.

She is the other woman!” She furiously stomped her feet, her high–pitch shrieks causing a fresh wave of pain to course through his temples. “We would’ve gotten together ages ago if it wasn’t for her! It’s all
