Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1366

"Lyse is like a pure and innocent goddess to me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any nearer to her. You will never understand the extent of my pain." Jameson shut his eyes and grappled with the piercing heartache.

His heart drummed against his ribcage, begging to be freed. Trapped in despair, it was a howling beast demanding to be released.

"I had once wanted the best for her. But now, I even entertain the idea of hurting her. If she's a goddess, I'd like to defile her, pulling her to my level…"

He thought, "Alyssa Taylor, I am a cunning scorpion. A scorpion is cruel in nature. It'd sting the frog that helps carry it over the river.

"But I won't kill you. I'll simply love you in my own way."

…

It didn't take Jasper long to get his hands on the addresses of the two young girls. The next afternoon, Xavier drove Alyssa and Jasper to meet with the two victims in the hope of convincing them to serve as witnesses in court.

To avoid imposing pressure on the girls' families, they deliberately showed up in an ordinary black sedan. Alyssa and Jasper dressed in simple suits. Jasper did not look much different from his usual self, as he always commanded a regal air and looked good in whatever he wore.

On the other hand, Alyssa had transformed into a wholly different woman. She showed up barefaced, looking as humble and trustworthy as a public servant.

Despite her low profile appearance, she looked dazzling because she carried herself with confidence. She seemed to carry a glow with her that attracted the attention of the opposite sex. It might be a crude description, but a man would harden upon laying eyes on her.

"Hey, can you stop staring at me in that manner?" Alyssa had goosebumps after being stared at for ten minutes or so and inched further away from Jasper. "It feels a little perverted."

Grinning, he teased, "Do you want me to return to who I was?"

"Can you?"

"Of course not." His breath tickled her ear. He gently massaged her nape and added, "I'm living a secular life now. Can't take one more day of asceticism."

She bit her lip and blushed in embarrassment.

At that time, Xavier stepped on the brakes, and their car rolled to a stop in front of an old apartment block.
