His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Casper, I'm in so much pain. Can you please come and stay with me?" Nova's fragile voice trembled on the other end of the phone.

Nova always knew how to play her cards right because Casper never could resist that tone.

He cast a cold glance at Eliza. "You're coming with me to the hospital."

"I'm not going." Her response was even icier.

His face darkened, eyes blazing with an anger he rarely showed. "Eliza, are you seriously refusing me?"

Casper was used to getting his way and always seemed blind to the obvious. Whenever Nova was involved, he'd always be on her side.

"Go upstairs, change your clothes, and come to the hospital with me."

Eliza gently straightened her torn blouse. Upstairs she went.
