Can’t Win Me Back - Season 2 Episode 84
“Ow! The force was enough to bruise Alyssa’s back. “What the hell is wrong with you,
Jasper?”
Jasper was fuming with rage. His grip tightened around her wrists. It was as if he was
scared she might run from him. Their eyes met.
‘You’ve led again and again to me, Alice White, Who wouldn’t be upset?” he roared, volce
raspy.
“When have I ever lied to you?” Alyssa demanded, struggling against the man’s grip. “The
only reason you know nothing about me is
because you never cared!
Three years, Jasper Deckelt. I would have told you everything you wanted to know if only
you had asked. But have you ever cared to ask me? Did you ever care about me?”
Jasper’s heart skipped several beats, pounding hard in his chest.
“Do you know what i like having for breakfast? What do I enjoy doing on the weekends?
What kind of music do I like? I was your wife, and I gave you my all. I paid attention to
everything you did, what you loved and hated. But what about you?
“Isn’t it hilarious how you’re accusing me of lying right now when you were the cause of
your own ignorance? Your own despair?” Alyssa yelled at him, eyes shoving daggers down
his throat.
Shame flooded Jasper’s being.
“Three years, and you treated me like some old toy to be put in a corner and gather dust.
Every day every single day, I prayed you would come and talk to me, to care about me
even a little bit, I would have bared my soul to you.
“But where did that get me, hm? All I got in the end was was you abandoning me for
someone else.”
Abandon?
Jasper trembled slightly as he watched Alyssa’s face turn sad and pale. His heart clenched
terribly at the sight.
He recalled he was the one who had abandoned her back then. He remembered how sad
and in despair Alyssa was when he forced her to
sign their divorce papers.
She had been so heartbroken then. How could she be so carefree now?
“Thanks to your cruelty, the disappointment I felt has grown into despair, and any shred of
hope I had left had permanently died out. I no longer want anything to do with you. All I
want is you out of my life,” Alyssa growled out, her eyes nearly bloodshot. The look she
had on her lace made Jasper shiver.
Lies!
Jasper flinched as If someone had stabbed him in the chest. “Have you really given up on
me, Alice? You must be lying.”
“Lying? Hah!” Alice snorted. “Why would I waste my time trying to lie to you?”
Jasper couldn’t help it anymore. “Do you really like Jonah Taylor?”
“Yes,” came the firm answer.
“No, I don’t believe you. You’re only with him so that you can get back at me. You’re angry
at me. You’re angry at me because of the divorce!” Jasper yelled, then leaned in close to
Alyssa, their noses brushing against one another’s.
Alyssa jerked away. “Are you out of your mind? Go see a therapist or something, and leave
me alone!”
Jasper then gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. “Do you Do you hate me so
much, Alice? So much so that you’re willing to give yourself to someone you don’t love, all
to make me upset?”
“Upset? Oh, I am the furthest thing away from upset.” Alyssa grinned. “He treats me like a
goddess, unlike you. Every single day of being with you fell like a prison.
“You really think I’d waste my time getting back at you? Bah! Do you have any idea how
much I’d degrade myself doing that? You’re goddamn proud and one hell of a Jealous
peacock! I should have seen through you!” Alyssa gritted her teeth.

She had given him everything, her love, her heart, her soul for three whole years. What
was the result? Nothing but another stain to his family’s name.
Why did you do this to yourself, Alyssa? Why?
Jasper watched as her eyes slowly welled up with tears, and her complexion turned pale.
He quickly let go of her hands, realizing he had misspoken terribly.
He hadn’t meant to. Why couldn’t he stop himself?
If it was what he genuinely felt, then whatever, but-
“Mr. Beckett? Ms. White? Just then, Newton’s secretary, Ben Gorham, spotted them.
Alyssa quickly moved away from Jasper, forcing a smile on her face. “What are you doing
all the way here. Mr. Gorham? I thought you were with Grandpa?”
Ben could tell something was off between them but didn’t want to comment on it. He said
anxiously. “There’s been an accident. I’m on my way to get it sorted out.”
“What happened?” Alyssa asked, worried.

Jasper stared at her in shock. The two seemed so close yet so far, one a young, promising

One simile from her was enough to rock his entire world.

His temple began to throb painfully.
“Jasper? What’s wrong? Are you okay? Landon asked, seeing how his friend’s face looked
pale.
Tm fine, Jasper grunted, massaging his temples as he sank into his thoughts.
Why was Alyssa’s name suddenly so familiar? Where had he heard it before? It almost felt
like they had met one another many, many years
Newlon had chosen the alla “The Sweel Voice for his birthday.
Alyssa used to visit him and perform some arias to cheer him up. She still remembered
how overjoyed the old man had been when she
first sang for him, the tears nearly falling down his lace as he reminisced about the time
with his wife.
Doris used to be a famous classical opera singer in the country. Newton had been her loyal
fan, loving her even before they actually knew each other. He had powered through the
immense pressure of being head of his powerful family to marry her, and finally, they did.
Alyssa had always admired their deep, loving relationship. It was something she had never
been blessed enough to have.
But only after the divorce with Jasper did she realize that her love life would never amount
to anything more than a train wreck.
The quests got more and more entranced, turning quiet as they enjoyed Alyssa’s
performance. 1
“I heard them say this is Mr. Jasper Beckett’s ex–wile! She’s so talented. You barely see
anyone who’s so multi–faceted nowadays. Not to mention youngsters who appreciate a
good aria.”
“Hey, she’s not his ex. They’re still married.”
“Who knows if their relationship will recover? Have you seen the way he looks at her? So
gentle and so loving. One look, and you can tell that Jasper still has feelings for her.”
“I don’t think I could let her go. She’s so beautiful and talented, and Mr. Beckett Senior
truly dotes on her. Besides, the other choice was that cheapskate,” someone snorted.
Upon hearing this, Liana glared at the quests speaking and stormed off from her seal.
She found a corner in the garden to brood by herself, trying to concoct another evil
scheme.
Sophia’s text message from earlier clearly insinuated that if she didn’t act soon, she would
very soon crumble under Alyssa’s feet. However, she wasn’t that easily fooled into
becoming a pawn for Sophia, so she had to watch out for herself.
She needed someone to join her in this, and Betty was her best choice, so Liana texted
her.
Very soon, Betty came marching over, just as pissed.
“Hmph, how many tricks does she still have up her sleeve? She’s gone and saved the day
once again!”
Calm down, Betty. So what if she knows now to sing opera? Back then, no proper woman
or lady would be involved with a profession like this. Their livelihood depended on the men
favoring them and providing them sustenance. They’re only lit to serve people like us.”
Liana truly had a way with words.
“You have a very good point, Lia. That bitch can sing her fucking opera. She thinks she’s
talented? She’s a disgrace, is what she is!”
“Have you ever thought of getting back at Alice, Betty?” Liana suddenly suggested.
“Every single day! I want to peel her skin off and bleed her out!” Betty growled out, her
fists trembling by her sides.
Liana went and hugged Betty’s arm, saying. “I might have an idea. Something I would
need your help with.
