Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa ran out of the house without hanging up the call or even changing her clothes, like a bird flying

out of its cage.

Jasper stood outside the gates under the streetlamp for her, his gaze warm.

The weather forecast had mentioned a heavy downpour tonight, but Jasper hadn't minded it. After

finishing his work in Solana City, he drove to meet with his lover.

It had only been a day.

But frankly, it was a pain to bear this feeling of longing.

"Jasper!" Alyssa cried, pushing open the door. She then ran tearfully over to him.

Jasper's eyes widened briefly before they narrowed. An adoring and loving smile crept onto his face.

He had already opened his arms to try and welcome Alyssa, but in the blink of an eye, she'd run right

up to him. So he embraced her deeply.

"I hurried over as early as I could. I was worried I wouldn't be able to see you if I came by a second

later, that you might've gone to bed," Jasper murmured warmly, arm tightening around her back. "But

it's no big deal. I could just wait for you outside the entire night. It would've been difficult to wait until the

morning, though."

"Jasper ... " Alyssa sniffled. Her eyes were red-rimmed.

Like a bird following its migration instincts, it seemed as if there were no other places in the world that

could make Alyssa feel safer than in Jasper's arms.

"Oh? Lyse, are you crying?" Jasper was taken aback. He gently peered at Alyssa's face, lifting her

chin.

His heart pained upon seeing Alyssa's moistened eyes. "You're actually crying. Who did this to you?"

Alyssa's fingers were buried in Jasper's shirt front, wrinkling the fabric.

When Alyssa recalled Winston's words on how having Tatiana marry into the Schmidt family was just

so Alyssa could be together with Jasper, more tears gathered in her eyes.

She croaked out, "Should we not be together anymore?"

Jasper's heart tensed immediately. His lips quivered as he asked, "What is it, Lyse? Why are you

bringing this up?" "Are the people around us bound to suffer just because we're in a relationship?" The

more Alyssa spoke, the more she wanted to cry.

She had always put up a tough act in front of everyone, yet she softened immediately in front of the

man she loved. "First, it was Jonah. Now, it's Taty. What sort of a match made in heaven are we,

Jasper? We're a living jinx, that's what!"

Jasper was pale with fear. His heart throbbed with pain. His hands were quivering as he said, "Don't

scare me, Lyse. What happened? Can you please tell me?"

Alyssa bit her lip, unsure of how to start.

"Lyse, you can order me to do anything you want, even if it's abandoning my family business. I don't

care." Jasper's throat tightened, causing his breathing to become shallow. "Just don't leave me. Don't

leave me."

Having weathered numerous challenges together just to reunite, how could Alyssa bring herself to

leave Jasper now?
