His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

The next morning dawned bright and clear, with the rain finally stopping. The Welton family was still deep in mourning over Jeffery's passing, and the tension Tristan brought wasn't helping. Caroline came downstairs and saw Eliza heading out the door. "Off to work? Great, I'll join you."

"Are you going to Welton International today?"

"Just dropping by."

Just then, Casper made his way down the stairs. With a laid-back grace, he buttoned his cuffs, exuding an air of casual elegance. He didn't bother greeting anyone as he walked straight out. Caroline, unsure why he was moody, grabbed her bag. "Let's get going."

"Alright."

Their cars left the Welton estate one after the other. At a crossroads, Casper's car took a turn.

"Where's he off to?" Caroline asked Eliza, puzzled.

Eliza knew this route well; another intersection and a left turn would lead to the home she shared with Casper. A bitter feeling welled up inside her. "He might be picking up Nova for work."
