His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Did she make Robin commit the heinous act?

Eliza's smile grew even wider. She was like a flower blooming in the desert-radiant, defiant, yet seemingly on the verge of collapse. She didn't say a word, but her smile seemed to say it all.

He slammed on the brakes, turned the steering wheel sharply, and pulled the car over to the side of the road. The quiet space inside the car was thick with tension.

"What are you smiling at?" he demanded.

Eliza slowly let her smile fade, staring indifferently at his strikingly handsome face. He was incredibly good-looking and a standout among the wealthy heirs of Falconridge, always turning heads no matter where he went.

But, this man didn't have a kind heart.

No, It would be more accurate to say he loved Nova so much that he was willing to become a cruel person for her. He loved Nova enough to come after Eliza and the Pinotti family.

"Mr. Casper, if you don't like my smile, I won't smile anymore," she said.

She used Mr. Casper again. He hated that title.

"Eliza, you've got a talent for getting under my skin," he snapped.

Casper floored the gas pedal, causing Eliza to jolt in her seat. As they drove into the city, she spoke softly, "Please drop me off at my place first. I'll pack up my things and move back to Welton Estate in the next few days."
