His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza had once believed, naively, that Casper would help her. That he'd rescue her father by clearing his name. But justice never came, and her father was gone. Disappointment had slowly piled up, and now she could talk about it without flinching.

"Elle, don't worry. If we manage to get Robin out this time, I promise I'll keep him safe and hidden. Casper won't get another chance."

"Okay."

After explaining everything, Eliza stared blankly at the sunset, already sinking below the horizon. So beautiful, yet fleeting. It all seemed so simple once she figured out the things overwhelming her. She smiled slightly, her bright eyes clear and calm like a spring.

The next morning, one of Casper's people delivered a dress to Eliza. Compared to the one she wore to Daniel's, this one was far less formal, more daring a black off-the-shoulder number with a plunging V that went all the way to her navel. The back was even bolder; she would be almost entirely exposed except for a string of pearls holding it together. It was the kind of dress she'd only seen on celebrities or socialites. But she understood why Casper had chosen it.

That evening, Marian knocked on her door. "Ma'am, Mr. Welton asked me to call you down. He specifically requested you wear the dress."

"Sure," Eliza replied.

Half an hour later, she descended from the second floor. The black, sultry dress hugged her waist like it might break with a touch. Her long, wavy hair fell over her shoulders, seductive and enchanting. Her exposed skin looked perfect and delicate. She had put on bold makeup to contrast the black dress. Her red lips looked like alluring red roses.
