Alyssa released Jasper's hand and quickly opened the car door.
"Mr. Beckett, see you there, rain or shine."
The warmth of her touch left his fingers as she withdrew. Jasper instinctively curled his fingers inward, his mouth parting to say something—anything—but hesitation held him back.
Without waiting for his response, Alyssa slipped out of the car and disappeared into the night without a backward glance. It wasn't until she was fully gone that he whispered in a low, hoarse voice, "See you there, rain or shine."
…
When Alyssa returned to the parking lot, Sean was standing worriedly beside the car, waiting for her.
Seeing her approach, eyes glistening with unshed tears, he knew she had just seen Jasper. A dull ache tugged at his heart, and he was certain their conversation had been anything but pleasant.
"Ms. Alyssa," he began softly, "I know you're relentless in everything you pursue. But some things in life… they just can't be forced. Sometimes, letting go can be its own kind of freedom."
He knew his words were harsh, almost ruthless. But the last thing he wanted was to see Alyssa shattered over Jasper.
"Sean, I understand what you're trying to say… I really do." Alyssa lowered her head, her hands cold in her coat pockets, fingers clenched tight in silent resolve. "But I just want one last chance. This will be it. If those memories we shared can't reignite his feelings for me, then I'll walk away for good."
Sean's eyes stung at her words. He never imagined that someone as proud and indomitable as Alyssa would be brought to such depths over Jasper. Was this their fate? Or some twisted form of karma?
Trying to change the subject, Alyssa asked with a soft smile, "Sean, Taty's eight months along now, isn't she? I heard you're having a boy."
"Yes, we're having a boy."

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🙄...
