Jonah advanced, step by step. A bone-deep chill surrounded him in the pitch darkness.
Nevertheless, his eyesight was exceptional. While others would feel as though they were blindfolded, he could still make out the outlines of objects even in near-total darkness.
The dead silence around him was chilling.
Warily, he scanned his surroundings, his eyes glinting with sharp frostiness. "I'm here, Uri. Show yourself."
Suddenly, there was a click. A beam of cool, bluish-white light shone down on him from above without warning. Jonah tilted his head up, and his face immediately turned pale.
"Julien!"
Julien hung suspended in the air, battered and bruised all over. His wrists were already covered in blood from the friction of the shackles around them. His head hung low. He had already fallen unconscious.
"Uri, you bastard!"
Jonah's reddened eyes bulged with fury. He was already on the verge of losing control. Spinning around, he roared, "What did you do to Julien? If anything happened to him… I'll rip your heart out and tear you to pieces!"
Uri guffawed. "There it is. The ruthless and vicious Judas I knew. Piety never suited you anyway. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you're a man of faith."
Two more ceiling lights flicked on.
More than 30 feet above, Uri stood behind the railings, looking down at Jonah. He laughed like a madman, his entire body shaking.
"Don't worry. Your darling isn't dead. I only gave him a good beating, but I made sure he was still breathing."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Please give us a proper ending. I can't believe that we reached as far as chapter 2483 and the story is still hanging. We would love at least for Alyssa and Jasper to be reunited without hassles....
Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
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....
