Alyssa and Jasper found themselves speechless at Axel's newfound feelings. They had always perceived Axel as a carefree player who never knew how to love, a man who cherished his freedom more than anything else.

The truth came as a shock to the couple, especially to Alyssa, who knew Axel better than anyone else.

When she first requested Axel to get closer to Amber, he grinned evilly and promised to carry out the mission flawlessly. He might lose an organ in the process, but never his heart.

He had completed his mission. Though Alyssa had no idea if he had sacrificed his organs at any point, one thing was for sure he gave his heart to Amber.

"Are you being serious, Axel?" she asked him for confirmation, gaping at him.

Axel returned her gaze with seriousness. "Lyse, I never understood your obsession with Jasper, but I think I know now."

He did not address her question, but his reply was more touching than a mere confirmation.

Jasper, standing behind them, closed his eyes bitterly. He stated, "Axel, you and Amber have my full support if you're truly in love with each other."

"Me too, Axel." Alyssa inhaled sharply. Her eyes sparkled with determination.

Their encouragement moved Axel. He said in a shaking voice, "Lyse, does it bother you that Amber once worked for Jameson? Do you mind her looking like you "

"Not at all." Her bright, warm smile dispelled all his doubts. "I'm worried that might bother you, but on second thought, I believe you're in love with her soul, not her looks. Only those with a pure soul would capture your heart and win your love.

"Axel, tell Ms. Altman the next time you meet that I admire and respect her."

While speaking, she teared up. "We desperately need her to provide intel on Jameson, but I'd rather not put her through it if she'll be hurt. Jasper and I can come up with other ways to take down Jameson. "Axel, I would like to protect your relationship-whatever it takes-now that you finally found your true love."

"Thank you, Lyse. You too, Jasper." Axel teared up as pain ripped through his chest. "But I don't know when I will see Amber again. Even if we meet, she will not leave with him.

"Anyway, I can't approach her again. If Jameson Schmidt went as far as to get us killed this time, I have no idea how crazy he might act the next time. I'm not scared of him, just worried for Amber."

Alyssa felt for him. Jameson was a beast who could easily crush and trample on a vulnerable woman like Amber.

Every life was equally valuable, including Amber's. No life should have been sacrificed.

"Since you haven't hurt Jameson's interest and are home safe, I believe he will not lay a finger on Ms. Altman for the time being." Jasper had a bitter look in his eyes. "But I'm afraid he might use her as bait for you. He wants you dead, it seems."

"Try me. He might be the one who ends up dead. No matter what it takes, I'll save Amber from his claws!" Axel's breathing grew heavy as he rolled his fist.

She was the only one for him, he had decided.

Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks and sighed. They never expected a steel-hearted man like Axel to fall in love.

They had a long conversation in bed, analyzing Jameson's situation and chatting about Axel and Amber's relationship. Finally, Alyssa's eyelids grew heavy, and she drifted to sleep.

Right as Jasper was about to fall asleep, he jolted up when his phone buzzed. Axel had texted him, "Come to my room, please."

Jasper immediately got out of bed and tiptoed out of his bedroom.

He checked his surroundings before knocking on Axel's door, acting like he was keeping a tryst.

Soon, the door creaked open. Axel appeared with a vacant expression, his face pallid and his nose dotted with sweat.
