Chapter 133
Alyssa was supposed to be busy managing the KS World Hotel in her office. The reality was, she was playing a survival game in her office. In the game, Alyssa was a chainsaw–wielding maniac. To win, she had to kill survivors.
Cans of ice–cold beer and a plate of fried chicken were on the desk before her. Those were the foods she often enjoyed while playing her games.
She had no interest in the extravagant opulence of lavish restaurants and elite bars. Nothing could beat a good barbecue or a plateful of grits. 1
Alyssa recalled pushing through her allergies to learn cooking while married to Jasper. An old saying. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, fascinated her. So, she learned to cook. She hoped her cooking would finally make Jasper do more than just quietly eat the lood at the table.
Alyssa had registered for the culinary classes at Solana City’s top culinary school. She was the only female student there for an entire year.
She graduated at the top of her class. Her teacher was very proud of her and sald she was the best student he had ever taught. He even considered making her his culinary heir.
Alyssa realized the age–old saying didn’t work for Jasper. Besides, he hardly ate at home.
Who could manage such disappointment?
Luckily, Alyssa didn’t have to anymore.
If only she could sell off her emotions. She’d exchange it for health and safety, for the good of those she loved and who loved her back.
A knock sounded at the office door, and Sean entered.
“I’ve delivered both your gift and message, miss.”
“Let me guess. He wasn’t happy?” Alyssa asked flatly..
“Yes. He insists you hand Mr. Axel over, or he’ll take other action.”
“Tsk tsk. What a prude.”
Alyssa won another round of her game before logging off. Then, she feasted on her chicken wings. She mumbled. “My investigation shows no cameras in that area. Jasper can’t prove Axel was there that night. His statement is useless in court without proof.”
Her family was always skilled at protecting themselves.
“But Ms. White, I have a feeling Jasper Beckett might have figured something out.”
“What did he say?” Alyssa asked.
“He said it was none of our business. He was looking like an ass who had just eaten an onion,” Sean snorted.
Alyssa narrowed her eyes as she chewed on a chicken drumstick. “I know what he’s like. He might be a douche when it comes to his.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
