Alyssa was simply teasing Jasper by playing coy.

After all, she trusted him completely.

However, her playful joke backfired.

Jasper panicked, dropping to one knee with a serious expression.

"Lyse," he declared solemnly, "I, Jasper Beckett, swear my loyalty to you.

You are the only woman I love, the only one I desire, in this life, the next, and the one after.

If I ever break this vow, may lightning strike me down!" "Alright, alright, Jasper, I was just kidding!" Alyssa couldn't bear to see him like this.

She tried to cover his mouth, but he grabbed her hand tightly.

"It's true that I went out last night.

I went to The Millennium with Axel and Cyrus." Alyssa's eyes widened in alarm.

Her voice trembled as she cupped his cheek.

"Oh my word, why didn't you tell me? Did something bad happen?" "Don't worry, everything's fine," Jasper reassured her, taking her hand and stroking it gently.

"Axel found the person who hired the hitman to kill Mrs.

Novak.

It was Jameson's secretary, Car] Moses." " You were still asleep when he called.

I couldn't wake you, but I was worried about Axel's safety.

So, I rushed over.

I wouldn't have let you go anyway." Alyssa's heart melted.

She cupped his face and kissed his forehead.
