Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

It had been 15 hours since Alyssa vanished after leaving the presidential office.

Jeremy mobilized multiple teams for the search using every bit of his authority.

Joined by Jasper, Cyrus, and Jonah, he stormed Rose Nursing Home, Alyssa’s last known location.

Their arrival broke the silence of the nursing home.

Miley, despite her insistence, was stopped by Jonah from joining them, given the high profiles of both her and Jeremy.

Meanwhile, Axel had finally reunited with Amber after countless trials.

He stayed by her side at the hospital, where she remained hospitalized.

Jonah and Cyrus choose to keep him in the dark about Alyssa, unwilling to rob him of the bliss he had fought so hard to achieve.

Outside the nursing home, the head of security and the Criminal Investigation Unit had sealed the building.

No one could enter or leave.

Alerted by the commotion, the on-duty security guard and the nursing home’s administrator arrived, stunned by the sight before them.
