Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2224

Jasper stared at those three pills in shock. The coldness of the unknown surged and stirred within his chest.

Jameson was a schemer, a man who thrived on manipulation. Every word he spoke could be part of an elaborate ploy. Maybe these pills were poison, a way to kill him without the mess of bloodshed.

"If I take all of them, will you let Lyse go?" Jasper's voice cracked, hoarse with pain.

Jameson chuckled nonchalantly. "Of course."

"Did you think that I would believe you? Show yourself or get those lapdogs of yours to come at me if you want me dead. Let's fight face-to-face. If not, you might as well just shoot me."

Jasper then slammed his fist into the glass and added, "Don't use such a vicious tactic. I won't fall for it!"

"Choose between the two," Jameson said, his grin widening. "If it's not you, it'll be her. The decision is yours, Jasper."

Jasper's heart was wrenched. "Jameson, don't you dare touch Lyse!"

"It looks like you've made your choice." Jameson picked up the black pill and pocketed the others, just in case Jasper had any other tricks up his sleeve. "Just this one then. Besides, I don't want to force you into doing something you're not willing to anyway."

"Give me all of them!" Jasper demanded, seeing through the deception. He had no hesitation. "I'll do what you want. Just let Lyse go."

He knew from the start that he had no choice. Resistance might push Jameson to hurt Alyssa—or worse, force her to take something lethal. The longer he complied, the more time he bought for Jonah and the others to save her. They were already on their way.

Even if the pills were poison, he would just have to hold out against them.

He must!
