Liana's name was one that Sean hadn't heard in a really long time. At first, he was caught by surprise, stunned into silence.
After a while, his eyes widened, and a surge of resentment welled up in his chest. He had to take a few deep breaths before he could calm himself down enough to say, "Ms. Alyssa, don't mention her name. It feels like a curse! When I think about all the pain she caused you, I—"
"Those are stories of old. Forget it. Let's just focus on the now. Sheryl always reminds me of Liana."
It sounded almost absurd to say that aloud.
Liana had been Jasper's childhood friend, growing up alongside him. But, of all people in the world, Alyssa was the one who knew Liana best.
When Newton matched her with Jasper, Alyssa secretly tried to emulate Liana in subtle ways, hoping to please him. She mimicked Liana's style, soft voice, and mannerisms.
Over those three years, Alyssa had humbled herself, compromising and living in misery. She lost herself in her feelings for Jasper, becoming someone she wasn't.
But that was over now. She had found herself again and vowed never to lose sight of who she truly was again.
Sean was shocked. "Unless… Are you suspecting that Sheryl and Liana are connected?"
"Even though I hate to think so, their behavior and speech are extremely similar. The only differences are their voices and their looks.
"The easiest thing to change is one's appearance. It is their habits, on the other hand, that are difficult to change once they are embedded deep into their core."
Sean nodded in full agreement.
Alyssa's imagination was always vivid. Once she began suspecting something, her mind would race with possibilities. If there was even a hint of the truth, she would relentlessly dig until she uncovered it.
It was only a matter of time.
Alyssa's suspicions started to take root at that very moment. Thoughts and possibilities rushed to her mind, but they were disjointed fragments she couldn't yet assemble into a coherent whole.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
