"What did you say? That's impossible!"
Amber's eyes widened in panic. She struggled fiercely against Carl's grip, pummeling his chest with her fists, but it was futile. "That's nonsense! You're lying!"
"Amber… Amber…"
Unfazed by her resistance, Carl stared at her with unfocused eyes, breathing heavily. "Why would I lie? My feelings for you are genuine. I've never lied to you."
"Look at me! I have Alyssa Taylor's face! Why would Mr. Schmidt allow me to marry you?" Amber was on the verge of hysteria. "I don't want to marry you! I don't!"
Carl's glare intensified as he roared, "Who then? Axel Whitaker?" His eyes were bloodshot.
Amber's body stiffened in his arms, a sharp pang shooting through her heart.
Carl grabbed her chin forcefully, squeezing so hard it felt like it would break. "Mr. Schmidt has had his fun with you. You're also a woman who looks exactly like Axel's sister. Do you think he truly desires you? Can he?
"He's Mr. Taylor's son, a man of high standing and influence. I'm sure he's seen his fair share of beautiful women. Women who would pay to be in his bed, to be his wife. He wouldn't even need to spend a dime!"
Carl's words were a knife twisting in Amber's gut. "He was momentarily interested. Perhaps he pitied your beauty and despair. As someone of high status, he merely sympathized with a lowly person like you!
"I'm the one who truly loves you! If I hadn't vouched for you to Mr. Schmidt and secretly protected you, he would've gotten rid of you a long time ago. Don't you know that?"
An image of Axel's watchful, captivating eyes flashed in Amber's mind.
A lump formed in her throat, choking back any words. Tears streamed down her sunken cheeks, a picture of utter despair.

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🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
