Julien was gradually losing his patience. He glanced at his watch before snapping, "If you've got something to say, spit it out. I'm not wasting more time here."
"Do you like watching movies, Dr. Lovelace?"
Uri disregarded Julien's growing frustration and chuckled slyly. "I know Jonah does. I've got a film he'll find quite special."
As soon as he finished, the large screen came to life, casting a glow on Julien's confused face.
The surround sound system produced amorous-sounding laughter, making it an immersive experience. Julien recognized Jonah's voice quickly. But the other one—the warm, crisp, pleasant voice—belonged to a stranger.
"Jonah, do you love me?" the man in the video asked gleefully.
"I do."
Jonah's deep, raspy voice quivered slightly with emotion. "I love you. Very much. I'll love you forever."
Jonah was typically so composed and restrained. Hearing this level of raw passion in his voice was jarring.
"What if… I died one day?" The man's voice was gentle though laced with an undercurrent of sorrow.
Jonah's breath hitched, and his voice grew thick with emotion. "Don't say that! If you die, I'll die with you."
"No, Jonah. I don't want that. I want you to live on. But if that day comes, I hope you'll remember me forever."
Julien suddenly felt a rush of heat in his chest, as though all the blood in his body had surged there, crashing violently within him.
With every beat, it fractured further.
"Dr. Lovelace, he looks very much like you, doesn't he?"
Uri's voice was hoarse, and his eyes glistened with resentment as he stared at the screen. "Let me introduce him. His name is Blake Holland. He was my younger brother, and Jonah's ex-lover. He was the love of his life."
"Lover… The love of his life…" Julien murmured in disbelief, tears rolling down his cheeks as his body began to tremble.
"But Blake and I aren't biological brothers. We met in an orphanage and grew up together. We became as close as siblings. Since he didn't know his last name, he took mine. And in his words, since my name meant light, he said he would be darkness. That's how he named himself Blake Holland."
Uri forced himself to bear with the wrenching pain in his heart. As he looked toward Julien, whose face had gone stiff and pale, a vicious smile came across his face.
He explained, "Back then, Blake was forced to bear with the pressure of being ostracized, but he chose to be with Jonah. Then, in order not to put Jonah in a tight spot, he died by Jonah's gun.
"It has only been a few years since my younger brother's passing. Yet, Jonah's already forgotten about the man he swore he'd love forever."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
