Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2558

Alyssa's jaw dropped. "Someone from the royal family?"

The first person who came to mind was Yuliana. Had she been cast out by the royal family? With nowhere else to go, had she come here seeking refuge, and perhaps to see Liam?

"You know what? I'll just tell her!" Impatient as ever, Colene blurted out, "It's the king of Kontina. Wait… Do they call him His Majesty? Whatever. It's Kontina's king, and he's here at our house!"

Alyssa gasped. "What?"

Lyla's eyes were filled with concern. "He's in your father's study right now, meeting with him. Your brothers are all waiting outside, but Winston isn't letting anyone in. We're worried, but there's nothing we can do."

Alyssa felt a sudden sense of foreboding, as if something momentous was about to unfold. Without another word, she turned and hurried out. "I'm going to take a look!"

…

The atmosphere in the study was tense—heavy enough to suffocate.

Winston sat across from the king of Kontina, Anthony Stewart. Though neither spoke, their commanding presence clashed silently, each vying for dominance.

Neil stood beside Winston with his head lowered, letting out a quiet, helpless sigh. He had always known this day would come, except he never imagined it would arrive like this.

And at a time like this, no less, when Winston, given his fragile condition, needed his children by his side the most.

The cruelty of it was unbearable. It wasn't just a slight or a setback—this was absolute, unmitigated cruelty toward Winston.

Anthony had kept this trip strictly confidential. Not even the queen—his own wife—knew he had come all the way to Solana City. She believed he was still grieving in seclusion at the island palace, unwilling to see anyone.

After all, he had lost not only his son but the rightful heir to the throne. His grief was more than justified.

But as a king, he couldn't afford to remain consumed by sorrow. He had to compose himself quickly and find a solution to stabilize the royal family and quell the growing political unrest. Otherwise, the monarchy itself might be stripped of power or even abolished entirely.
