Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa held her breath. "Jonah, what do you mean by that?"

"Look at the condition of Dad's health right now. He is unable to continue managing KS Group. On top of that, this sort of public controversy happened to me. It is no longer appropriate for me to continue as president."

Jasper's chest tightened. "You didn't commit any crimes nor harmed anyone. Why do you say that it's no longer appropriate?"

"My presence will become a hazard to the corporation."

Jonah's eyes were vacant, betraying no hint of emotion. "As long as I remain in this position, the public will be reminded of those photographs whenever they see me in the future. They will not think of anything else. They will only be reminded of the fact that KS Group's president is a homosexual.

"I don't mind putting my image aside and becoming a laughingstock. However, I cannot do that to KS Group."

"Are you resigning, Jonah? You're not going to remain president?" Alyssa asked with a tremor in her voice. She was shocked and frantic.

Jonah smiled relaxedly. "Yeah. I've discussed this with Dad. I've already made my intentions very clear to him.

"Lyse, do you remember the day when you went home to see Dad? What did I say then? I said that you are the most suitable candidate for president and the most perfect successor of KS Group. I don't want you to feel like it's a regretful thing. Truth be told, I've been waiting a long time for this day.

"It has never been my ambition to be the president. All these years, I have been under a lot of pressure. I never had a chance to relax. Now that you're finally taking over, I can live a life I want."
