Alyssa sped away from Heightsnew Villa toward Solana City Investigative Bureau after hearing the news. Her striking Lamborghini came to a graceful stop at the bureau's entrance.
As Alyssa stepped out of the car, she paused. "Jasper?"
Jasper stood tall and imposing, wrapped in a black coat, beside a modest Maybach parked under a tree. The biting wind did nothing to diminish his statue-like presence. He had clearly been waiting for her.
Without hesitation, Jasper hurried toward Alyssa. "Are you cold, Lyse?" He quickly removed his coat and wrapped it around her. Still, he thought it was insufficient, pulling her into a tight embrace.
"The car's heating was strong. I'm not cold," Alyssa replied. Concerned, she cupped his icy face with her warm hands. "Silly, I should be asking you. Why wait outside in this cold? You could've waited in the car. The wind is freezing. Did you think it was funny?"
"I wanted to see you as soon as you arrived," Jasper said, his eyes filled with longing as he kissed her palm. "Besides, have you forgotten my military past? I've endured temperatures below 20 degrees. This is nothing compared to that."
Alyssa's eyes welled up with tears as she recalled when they fought alongside one another. Her paralyzed pinky finger twitched subtly.
Shortly after, Silas arrived breathlessly, looking dashing in his court attire. "You look really cool, Silas!" Alyssa exclaimed.
Jasper agreed with a smile. "Indeed."
Alyssa gave Jasper's hand a squeeze as she playfully narrowed her eyes at him. "Oh? You're not jealous?"
She teased, "You used to have such a competitive streak, always needing to outshine everyone, regardless of whether they were close friends or acquaintances. You'd get uneasy whenever I complimented someone else and quickly make yourself noticed. Now that we've been together for so long, are you feeling less of a need to compete?"

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🙄...
