Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Lyse, is this true?" Winston turned to stare at his daughter, who looked as pale as a sheet. Filled with pain and resentment, he
tossed the paper at her. "Tell me, is everything on this paper true?"
Alyssa almost lost her balance. She gripped her chest and slowly crouched as she stiffly picked up the paper. She clutched it
tightly in her fingers.
"Lyse ..." Jasper, looking blank, approached her. She admitted, "Yes, it's true."
Winston felt the world collapse around him. Pain shot through his head as his vision blurred. Jonah and Landon were surprised
by his intense reaction, especially Jonah, who had never seen his dad so angry in the 30 years of his life.
Even when Winston learned about Alyssa's divorce, he was mostly angry at Jasper for his treatment of Alyssa. Never had he
pinned the blame on Alyssa.
Perplexed by Winston's seemingly unjustified rage at Alyssa, they watched as Winston marched up and dragged Alyssa out of
the hall with him. "Let's go! You'll come home to Belbanks with me!"
Tears brimming, she uttered with heartache, "Dad ..."
"One more thing—cut all contact with Jasper Beckett, or I'll lock you up in Heightsnew Villa!" Winston issued a harsh threat.

Jasper felt as if he was struck by thunder. He struggled to breathe as his blood froze. The sweet scene earlier was no more. He
was devastated by Winston's ruthless remarks.
Secretly feeling gleeful, Zoe frowned and jeered, "Mr. Taylor, it's pointless to lock Alyssa up forever. You should tackle the
problem instead of shying away from it. But it seems too late to do anything about it now.
"The child she miscarried was eight weeks old. She became infertile because of the miscarriage. Not many women could
withstand the pain of infertility at such a young age. I would have chosen to end my life. Alyssa is a woman of strength."
Did Alyssa once carry their child? Jasper was stunned. His soul was tortured. Panting heavily, all color drained from his face. He
was filled with remorse.
"W-When was that Lyse?" he questioned.
Was she pregnant after their intimacy on the night he was drugged? How did the miscarriage happen, and why didn't she tell him
about it? Why?
Alyssa shut her eyes tightly as tears streamed down her ghastly pale face.
