Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"But I just love him... I can't stop myself from loving him," Jonah said.

Alyssa blinked hard to stop herself from crying. Many a time, Julien was like the male version of herself. At the same time, Jonah's love for Julien was just like how Jasper used to love her. How could he be so affectionate and tolerant if he wasn't in love with him to the core?

"Lyse... I was wrong. I've made a grave mistake." Jonah's broad shoulders trembled violently. "It was true that I was attracted by Julien's looks. However, what I love is his soul.

"At the same time, I was afraid of Julien leaving me because of my past with Blake... So, I didn't dare to be honest with him. I was too embarrassed to tell him the truth. I wanted to give him a perfect relationship.

"I was wrong... If I had known... If I had known that it would turn out like this..."

Jonah choked back his tears and couldn't bring himself to continue speaking. The thorns on that stalk of rose that he was clutching tightly onto pierced into his palm.

Alyssa kept her cool. In a soft voice, she asked, "Jonah, you received a call before you came here. Who called you?"

"Uri Holland... He's an older guy whom Blake met when he was at the orphanage. They were as close as blood brothers. Both of them were my core subordinates when I was leading Cloudtop."

"Has this person always been pestering you in secret?"

Jonah shook his head. "He has never shown up ever since I disbanded Cloudtop after Blake's passing."

Alyssa frowned. A suspicion rose within her. "Of all times, he chose to wait till today? All just because he can give you an 'unforgettable' birthday?"
