Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

In the deep of the night, Alyssa was soundly asleep by Jasper's side while he pored through the financial reports and project proposals.
All of a sudden, he heard a knock on the door, followed by Rosie's worried voice. "Mr. Beckett, Madam Alyssa, are you asleep?" Jasper tiptoed to answer the door to avoid waking up Alyssa. "Mrs. Rosie, it's late. Why aren't you sleeping yet?" "Mr. Beckett, Mr. Axel is here!" "Mr. Axel? Lyse's brother?" He was taken aback.
"Yes! He looks quite upset. He's in the living room. Please check on him!" Mrs. Rosie reported.
At that time, Alyssa rubbed her eyes groggily and shuffled up to Jasper in her fuzzy slippers. "Jasper, did you just say that Axel was here?" "Sorry for waking you up." He gently held her by the waist with a tender look.
She leaned against him, their bodies separated only through a layer of silk fabric. "I'm fine, but I'm worried about Axel. He won't show up late at night for no good reason. Jasper, let's meet with him now." Jasper's and Alyssa's jaws dropped when they saw Axel standing in the living room with torn clothes and a blood- stained face. Alyssa had never seen Axel in such a disheveled state in her life. He had always appeared invincible.
Of course, Axel would never reveal to Alyssa the times he flirted with death during his missions.
"Axel, what's wrong? Are you injured?" Alyssa hurried up to him and ran her fingers across his shoulders. Her face turned white from the shock. "Lyse, I'm fine," Axel replied.
He was an empty shell of his self. His eyes were vacant, and his voice low. Worried sick, she asked, "How could you claim you're fine? What happened to your face and your clothes?" Moments later, Axel looked up with restrained feelings that threatened to inundate him. Breathing slowly, he began, "Lyse, I've not asked you for any favors these years. This time, I need a favor from you. Please." Jasper widened his eyes in shock at Axel's sorry state. He had seen Axel's many sides. Axel was cynical, playful, and sometimes ruthless, but he had never revealed such desperation.
Alyssa shook Axel by the shoulders and croaked, "Axel, what's with the formalities? Just ask away!" "Can you save her?" "Who?" He choked on his emotions. "Amber Altman." Jasper and Alyssa were caught off guard. This was the first tthey heard Axel mentioning a woman's name. Axel lowered his gaze and grabbed the pack of blue pills from his jacket. He placed them in Alyssa's palm.

Jameson Schmidt is still
thenastermind in the end. Right?" Jasper clenched his fists resentfully He falsely presented these nysterious pills as common drugs and made Aidan Lovelace market hem. At the

users. It was never his intention to
make money from these pills!" Alyssa
chimed in, "Drug trials are a
notoriously complicated and lengthy
process, spanning from initial
research to clinical trials and
regulatory approval. This could take
anywhere from five to ten years.
Besides, animal testing cannot beat human experimentation in terms of precision." Verify captcha to read the content Verify The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest
