The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.
Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.
His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.
Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.
A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.
His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.
Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life.
But in his desperate haste, the pill slipped from his fingers and fell into the snow.
Remy's head buzzed. Trembling, he searched frantically in the snow for it. He had never felt such panic.
His headache was intensifying.
In order to relieve the agonizing pain, he removed his shirt and buried his scarred body in the snow, allowing the bone-piercing iciness to relieve him of his pain.
To his surprise, this method he tried randomly was effective!
Slowly, he opened his bloodshot eyes. Though his insides still felt tight and his head throbbed, the pain was more bearable.
His face was as white as a sheet. He had just put his shirt back on when his phone rang.
Seeing that Sheryl was his caller, a look of annoyance came across his eyes. He hesitated for a moment.
He left his phone to ring for a while before answering. He placed his phone by his ear.
"Remy, I heard that you called for backup. Why? Did something happen to you?" Sheryl's voice was emotionless as if she was just checking with him as part of a standard procedure.
A glint flashed across Remy's eyes. In a steady voice, he answered, "Yeah, I lost my car. I need a car to head back."
Skeptically, Sheryl questioned, "You lost your car? What happened to it?"
"Jasper stole it from me."
Sheryl exclaimed in disbelief, "What? You didn't stop him? Did you fail your mission?"
Remy felt suffocated. For whatever reason, he uttered a lie, which was something he had never done before.
"Mr. Justin did not ask me to take his life. I smashed his car to ruins and fought against him. He then snatched my gun from me and shot me."
Sheryl fell silent for a moment. She seemed to have believed him.
After all, Jasper was once the best soldier in the military academy. He was outstanding at fighting. It was only reasonable that Remy wasn't a match for him.

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🙄...
