She might be his ex–wife, but when she saw her ex–husband attacked, the first thing on
her mind
was to protect the assailant who’d almost beaten him to death.
“Alice White, how could you do this to me?” he seethed. What she had done was
outrageous. She
was technically the accomplice to the attacker.

sudden appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fired the bullet.

through gritted teeth, “If… If you want me to call you my brother… get away from here,
right now! I’ll never forgive you otherwise.”
“But, Lyse …..”
Alyssa glared at him and shoved him away. He felt a shot of pain through his heart. It

his condition.
“You don’t have to fake it, Alice. Get lost.” Panting while lying on the ground, Jasper had a

was now dirty and stained.
How could she not feel bad for him? She was frustrated by Axel, who had gone too far this
