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?"

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...
