Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

A helicopter exploded in the air in the countryside. It was a massive piece of
news. Moreover, the residents nearby recorded the entire process and uploaded
it online, causing a huge stir.
This was a negative incident. However, the police issued a notice through official
channels claiming that internationally wanted criminals were trying to escape
capture through the helicopter.
All six of them were found dead. When the news was released, the comments
took a different turn. Everyone in the country was thrilled and thought they
deserved it.
David's forensics report came out and confirmed it was mechanical asphyxia.
Plus, from the direction of the laceration and the wounds left from the struggle,
he was murdered.
However, out of hundreds of inmates and police officers, no one found out who
did it.
Perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the case investigation, hoping that
the truth would never come to light.
All sorts of comments were flying through the internet about David's death.
One comment said, "What a relief! I was thinking about how to sentence him to
death. Now, justice has been served! This is amazing!"
Another comment said, "This is letting that animal off too easily. He should suffer
a few years in jail, not being allowed to eat every day and suffer a beating every
day. He deserved to be tormented to death!"
One comment agreed, "Exactly! He died way too early. It's a shame that he
hasn't tasted the bitterness of suffering!"
"It's a bigger shame that the victims did not witness David tried by the law. He
hasn't suffered utter humiliation by the public. What a shame!"
However, it didn't matter what was said. No one was standing on David's side.
Only a person out of his mind would do that.
The Schmidt Group had never publicly expressed their stance yet. They were so
quiet as if they didn't know David.
Victor's son, whom he had spoiled for two decades died and suffered so much
humiliation on the internet. Yet, he didn't dare utter a word, hoping that the
citizens of this country would stop hounding on their family affairs.
However, David's funeral was done sloppily. No one else came to send their
condolences except for his family.
No one of status and power would come and pay their respects to a terrible
animal like him. They would be too shameless if they did that.
Time passed, and it was finally two days before Sophia's trial.
In the morning, Alyssa visited Jasper's mother, Anne, with him.
In the quiet and solemn cemetery, desolation and sadness filled their hearts.
Alyssa placed her mother's favorite bouquet of lilies respectfully before the
tombstone. An overwhelming sense of sadness overtook her. Her eyes reddened
as she stood behind Jasper.
Jasper knelt on one knee and used a clean white handkerchief to delicately wipe
the tombstone.
Alyssa noticed this tombstone was the cleanest and most well-kept in the entire
cemetery. It was clear that Jasper visited her every year. He cared for this place
day and night, ensuring his mother could rest in peace.
"Mom, I'm here to see you again."
Jasper was teary-eyed as his fingertips shakily grazed his mother's face in the
photo. "However, it's different this time. I didn't come alone today. I have
company.
"I remember you were always worried I would have no one with me when I was
younger. You always worried I would be lonely. Mom, you don't need to worry
now. I'm doing well. Since you left, I-I found my happiness once again.”
He stood up, walked to Alyssa's side, and hugged her tightly by the shoulder. His
lips curled into a bright smile. "Look, what do you think of her? I think she is
beautiful, just like you."
"Y-You're exaggerating..."
Alyssa's cheeks blushed. She was more beautiful than any other woman in the
world. She knitted her fair and delicate hands together, completely shy and
reserved.
It was as if Jasper's mother was standing right in front of her.
"Mom, let me introduce you to her. Her name is Alyssa Taylor. She is the love of
my life." Jasper choked as he shakily said the last word. "I don't want anything
but her in this lifetime." "Jasper." Alyssa murmured, teary-eyed.
"I'm sure you're happy for me wherever you are now."
Suddenly, a delicate breeze lifted a strand of Alyssa’s black hair hanging next to
her beautiful face. It blew away the tears at the corner of her eyes like an
invisible hand caressing her face gently.
Alyssa's face started beating wildly. Her eyes widened as she stared at the warm,
smiling woman in the monochrome picture.
She wondered if it was Jasper's mother, answering Jasper silently.
She must have been watching over her son in heaven, protecting and blessing
him.

"Auntie Anne, we will win this war. Please bless Jasper wherever you are in
heaven."
After they finished, they both paid their respects before Anne's tombstone, hand
in hand.
Jasper's eyes were filled with tears as he paid his respects to his late mother. His
lips curled into a happy smile.
He was overjoyed to have brought Alyssa to finally see his mother.
Both of them stayed for a while. Alyssa wiped and cleaned the tombstone. Then,
she was ready to leave peacefully.
Suddenly, unfamiliar footsteps inched closer to them.
"Jasper?"
However, the familiar voice was like a sharp ice pick that stabbed Jaspers back.
Alyssa turned back before he did to look. Her pupils dilated as Jasper's grip,
already tight, tightened even more.
Javier stood tall in a black suit a few steps away. Rory and four bodyguards were
right behind him.
The resounding presence of the Beckett Group's chairman shattered the serenity
of the cemetery.
