Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2225

Jasper felt a pain unlike any he had ever known. It wasn't a physical agony like having flesh torn away, but a slow, excruciating torture akin to being slowly sliced by a blunt blade. It was a hundred times worse than dying instantly.

His mind raced through a chaotic sequence of images, like a black-and-white movie playing backward. He saw people retreating and leaving—Javier, Anne, Newton, Landon, Lauren, Jonah, Axel…

He reached out desperately, trying to grasp any of them, but they were slipping away, one by one.

Finally, the image settled on Alyssa's radiant face. "Lyse... Don't go..."

Tears streaming down his face, he lunged forward, wrapping his arms around her. But she dissolved into golden dust, vanishing into the frigid air.

"No!"

A beep sounded in his ear as if everything had been reset. Darkness enveloped him, and he fell unconscious.

Now, there was just silence.

Jameson stood motionless, staring at the fallen man. He wasn't sure if he was dead, but deep down, he was devastated.

Jameson then heard footsteps approaching from behind. He turned to see Remy emerging from the underground tunnel.

With an emotionless look on his face, Remy picked Alyssa up in a princess carry.

"The Taylors have arrived on the island." Without even a glance at Jameson, Remy's voice dripped with barely concealed hatred. "Sir is leaving you to clean up. I'm sure you have no objections, right, Mr. Schmidt?"

"Bastard! Go to hell!" Axel, eyes blazing with fury, charged at Jameson, kicking him to the ground.

"I will kill you… I will kill you!" Axel stomped down on his back, pulling out his gun and pressing it against the back of Jameson's head.

"Axel, don't!" Jonah shouted, pushing Axel aside.

A gunshot rang out.

Jonah had been quick enough to deflect Axel's aim, but the bullet still struck Jameson's left shoulder, only missing his head by inches.

"I've lost, Lyse." Jameson fell limply to the ground. With his head pressed against the ground, he turned his head to look at the unconscious Jasper nearby. He let out a hollow, bitter laugh. "I've lost to him… completely."
