Alyssa flipped through the documents and studied them carefully.
She spotted a red-colored heading. Suddenly, she realized that these were classified documents.
Compromising classified information from a foreign state was undeniably unethical and reckless. Regrettably, the damage was done. She had already opened it.
Soon enough, Alyssa realized that the documents were likely submitted by the National Security Agency. They contained information on some of the top spies who had harmed Kontina's national interests over the years. These spies seemed to be on the run and had not yet been captured.
They came from well-to-do families, were industry elites, or held significant positions. Yet, the crimes they had committed were terrifying, warranting sentences of death multiple times over if they were caught.
With her exceptional speed-reading ability and memory, Alyssa was a natural fit for a special agent role. Her talents allowed her to remember every detail after reading a document just once.
When she reached the 11th document, her eyes dimmed. This document was different from the others; it lacked a photograph where one should have been.
"Name: Felicity Whitaker
"Age: 25 years
"Former head of the royal family's Special Services and member of the Kontina Secret Intelligence Service. Stole confidential information, colluded with the enemy, and mutually benefited from it. Sentenced to death for betraying the organization, subsequently fled from justice."
Alyssa stared at the words on the document, feeling a tightness in her chest that made it hard to breathe.
"It has been over 30 years since this traitor of the nation fled by sea. Despite multiple parties' investigation efforts, there has been no outcome. Furthermore, the statute of limitations has passed.
"Post-discussion, the royal cabinet has decided not to pursue the criminal's liability. Pending approval from Mr. President."
The document bore the signature of Kontina's king, Anthony Stewart, along with the royal family's official stamp. However, Jeremy had not signed it, perhaps too occupied to do so.
"Lyse? Hey, Lyse?"
Miley noticed Alyssa looking stunned and unresponsive. Despite calling out to her twice, Alyssa didn't react. She kept staring at the name on the document, feeling an inexplicable sense of closeness.
A Kontinian with the last name Whitaker, who escaped by sea at 25 and had been at large for 30 years... The details matched her own mother's story.
Could this just be a miraculous coincidence?

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🙄...
