Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1998
As Alyssa stared at the man in the photo, her heart clenched with each beat, then raced erratically.The yellowing border indicated the photo's age.In the image, Jonah and the man appeared intimately affectionate.Even though the photo couldn't speak, Alyssa could tell that Jonah and he were lovers. Their affection for each other was evident in the depth of their eyes.Jonah's smile in the photo was so bright and warm. Even Alyssa, who had been raised by Jonah since childhood, had never seen such a smile on his face, not even when he was with Julien.Somehow, a murky and inexplicable emotion lodged in Alyssa's chest, causing her discomfort.Suddenly, she heard steady footsteps outside the study.Alyssa quickly put the Bible back in its place and slipped the photo into her pocket.The door to the study clicked open.Jonah, wearing dark blue silk pajamas, entered leisurely. When he saw Alyssa, a smile crept on his face. "When did you come, Lyse? Did you wait for long?""Not to

Jonah continued, "After his identity was exposed, Khaos abandoned him, and Cloudtop hunted him down. Traitors always meet the same fate—death.""So... back then, you executed him as Judas?" Alyssa's voice trembled as a chill ran through her body.Jonah closed his eyes and shook his head in pain."When I became the leader, I swore that I would never kill. It was my bottom line. But back then... everyone was pressuring me and forcing me to execute him myself."Listening to this, Alyssa felt suffocated. Her heart pounded in fear."He didn't want to put me in a difficult position, so he grabbed the gun from my hand and shot himself."Jonah's tone was calm and low as he recounted the event again. If it weren't for the crimson in his eyes, Alyssa would have thought he was telling someone else's story.Would anyone in the world be able to bear such a devastating blow as watching their beloved take their own life before their eyes?If Jasper had done that, Alyssa might have picked up t

Jonah's pupils contracted sharply. His eyes rimmed with red from anguish.He had thought that those painful memories had gradually been buried with his self-restraint and the passage of time. Even after he officially got together with Julien, he hadn't touched any of the items he had treasured about that person.But when Alyssa angrily accused him and demanded that he burn the photo to show loyalty to Julien, his heart was wracked with pain, as if she were asking him to burn his own body.Alyssa stared at Jonah with frustration. His sorrowful and pained expression said it all. He couldn't bear to do it. He still had lingering affection for his ex.Even though that person had been dead for many years, he still held a significant place in Jonah's heart. It was profound enough to stir Jonah, who was typically calm and composed."Lyse... I haven't touched these things since Julien and I got together. I've let go of him. I really have."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot. He was almost plead

Julien blinked. Being observant and having dated Jonah for a while, he immediately noticed his lover spacing out. "You're not attentive. Are you feeling unwell?"Jonah's heart sank. He denied in a raspy voice, "No. I'm fine.""Julien, I have a favor to ask of you!" Alyssa quickly distracted Julien, whisking him away to the living room. She said to Jonah, "Jonah, what are you doing? You should throw together some food for Julien!""Sure." Jonah left without a word.Meanwhile, Julien kept turning around to check on Jonah. Something felt amiss, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.Back in the living room, Alyssa laid out the pills she brought with her on the coffee table. "Julien, please run some tests on the components of this drug. You're the domain expert, not to mention you have the right equipment for it.""What's this?" Frowning, he scrutinized the blue pills."There were a few consecutive cases of drug addicts dying of heart attack in Solana City, but in the post-mortem

It was business as usual for Amber at The Millennium. Not only that, she worked harder than before to gain Jameson's favor.At the same time, she had not given up on gathering criminal evidence against Jameson. The road might be difficult, and she might even risk everything in the process, but she was determined to see it through.It was the day of the month when Amber volunteered at the orphanage. She woke up early in the morning, put on her volunteer uniform, and brought the gifts for the kids before driving out in haste."Ms. Altman, you're here early!""Good morning, Ms. Altman!""How have you been, Ms. Altman?"The teachers and volunteers went up to greet her. She was popular among the people at the orphanage.She greeted everyone and distributed her handmade snacks."Wow! Ms. Altman, you're back with your apple pies! We love it!" Some younger volunteers could not help but take a bite of the pies in front of her. They beamed in satisfaction. "Ms. Altman, too bad you're onl

"You—" Amber glared at him in embarrassment. Her eyes were dewy and sparkling.Axel tilted his head with a roguish smile. He tapped his lips to remind her.Suddenly, he frowned and spun around. A group of smiling kids had gathered by the backdoor of the classroom to watch the drama unfold. Their cute heads peeked out of the door, one on top of another, which was rather hilarious to see.They would have made a fuss if they could speak."You rascal!" Amber's face reddened. She shoved him away before fleeing and herding the kids back into the classroom.Her scolding sounded flirtatious to Axel. His smile deepened when he relished her remark.Amber returned to the podium after soothing the children. When she looked up, she found Axel shamelessly sitting in a chair by an unoccupied table in the last row. He folded his arms and rested them on the table, blinking obediently like he, too, was a student.She flustered under his watch. It wasn't until she took a few deep breaths that she

Though Amber tried to kick Axel out, he shamelessly stuck around. However, he merely observed her from a distance without disrupting her work.He watched as she joined the cooks to prepare food. Despite her petite frame, she stirred the food in the industrial cooking pots with ease. She harvested, washed, and cut the vegetables expertly, as if it were second nature.With his arms folded across his chest, Axel became engrossed in her actions. Beads of sweat dotted her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheek. Despite her disheveled appearance while working, he found her beauty captivating.Every time they crossed paths, she carried herself like a flawless masterpiece, catching the attention of the opposite sex. However, Axel found her prettier in her current state—more vibrant and real.As Amber's "friend", Axel was invited to lunch with the other kids when food was served. Amber stood in a line with two other teachers to serve food."Thank you, Ms. Altman!" The kids

Amber remarked flatly, "That sounded so pervy."Axel's expression collapsed. He argued, "I was a brother who doted on his sister! You just don't get it!"He took care of Alyssa for another reason. Before their mother passed away, she called the four siblings to her bed and reminded the brothers to take care of Alyssa to the best of their ability. He recalled Jennifer comforting them, "Don't cry. Please don't think that Mommy is not around anymore. Mommy will be in the sky, looking after you and protecting you."He teared up at the thoughts—a lump formed in his throat."That was really sweet." Amber stared at her reflection on the water, which resembled Alyssa. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, and she hurriedly hid the reflection with clothes. She added, "Ms. Alyssa certainly grew up in happiness."Despite taking on Alyssa's face, Amber knew her fate was the opposite of Alyssa's. Alyssa was the daughter of a wealthy family who was raised in love and great care, unlike herse

The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
