Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2223

The two figures before Jasper's reddened eyes resembled a matching pair of bride and groom.

This was the first time Jasper had ever seen Alyssa in a wedding dress. Though he had dreamed of this moment countless times, he never imagined he would see her like this.

Her beauty was stunning, her pale complexion sharply contrasting with Jameson's elegant black attire. The scene felt hauntingly bleak, poignant, and fragile.

With every step Jasper took toward them, the pain in his heart intensified. Fresh blood seeped from his wound, leaving a trail in his wake.

At this moment, Alyssa looked like a porcelain doll, meticulously dressed and placed in a glass display for her beloved to admire.

Jasper could see her, but he couldn't touch her.

This should have been a joyous scene, but the atmosphere was cold, cruel, and bizarre.

"Lyse! I'm here!" Jasper's voice cracked as he called out to her, tears blurring his vision. "Wake up, Lyse! Wake up ... Look at me!"

"Shh..."

Jameson stood tall and imposing behind Alyssa, shushing Jasper. He placed one hand on her bare shoulder while raising the other, lifting a finger to his colorless lips. "Keep your voice down. My wife is sleeping. 'Jasper, you had Lyse for three whole years. Did you ever let her experience wearing a wedding gown? Did you ever give her a wedding?
