Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"That's fine too, but you should keep it a secret from Winston. He's still unwell,
after all.” Jasper looked concerned at the mention of Winston. He seemed to
regard Alyssa's father as his family now.
Alyssa nodded and lowered her gaze. "I won't ask Winston about it. I won't force
him to talk if he doesn't want to. I'll learn about Mom's past through my own
investigation.
"There's just one thing that boggles my mind. What exactly was it about my
mom's past that Winston wanted to keep it a secret? I'm fine with him keeping
things from me when I was a child, but as my mom's only daughter, I deserve to
know everything about her now that I'm all grown up.
"I don't care if Mom had a spotty background. Even if she were a wanted criminal
internationally, she would always be mommy dearest to me."
Jasper listened to her words silently as he grappled with the heartache. He was
transported back to the time he lived at the filthy and dingy slums, where he
recalled hearing insults and curses hurled at Anne.
People labeled her a dance hall girl and a prostitute. The harassment even
extended to Jasper, branding him a bastard child and suggesting that Anne was
riddled with sexual diseases from all the random men she slept with.
He refused to believe that Anne was the woman people painted her to be. Even if
she were guilty as accused, his love for her would remain unwavering.
Upon Zoe's return to Solana City, Penelope and Preston promptly admitted her to
the VIP ward of the best hospital.
"Mom, Uncle Preston, thank you for bringing me home," Zoe said weakly, her
complexion pallid as she leaned against her mother.
"My poor child! You've been through a lot." Penelope couldn't stop her tears from
falling. "It's all my fault. Il never leave you out there alone from now on. Even if
Landon holds a knife to my neck, he won't make you leave me. No one can take
away my precious daughter from me!"
"Mom, I've missed you..." Zoe sobbed uncontrollably.
"Zoe, I immediately told your grandpa about what happened to you. He was close
to tears," Preston remarked while casting an amused look at his niece. "Your
grandpa will never drive you out of Solana City. Just focus on getting better. Don't
worry about anything."
Zoe grinned smugly when she met Preston's eyes.
Without warning, the door to the VIP ward flung open, sending in a chilling
breeze. Landon showed up, his tall figure dressed in an immaculate black suit.
The black jacket draped across his shoulders fell onto the floor when he
shrugged, and his assistant quickly caught it.
