His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Was he feeling down? It was probably because he hadn't come to terms with the divorce yet. Nova understood. After all, Eliza had been his bedmate for over two years. It was natural for a guy to feel a bit off, and you could almost forgive that.

But that was fine. Once she married Casper, he would forget all about Eliza in no time.

Casper rode his horse at a fast pace. On his way over, the horse got spooked for some reason and reared up, nearly kicking Nova. She was so scared she stumbled backward, dropping her cane. Thankfully, Dillon caught her just in time.

Casper didn't bother dismounting and continued galloping around the field.

"Ms. Nova, it's pretty dangerous here. Maybe you should head back home," Dillon suggested, trying to be polite even though he was confused about why she was there. "If it's about work, we can talk back at the office."

"Alright then, I won't bother Casper any longer." Nova picked up her cane. "Dillon, there's something I need you to tell him. Let him know I've reported Robin's assault to the police and handed over all the evidence."

Dillon frowned. Nova had claimed Robin assaulted her. She handed Casper underwear stained with Robin's semen, crying her eyes out. Casper had offered to help her report it, but she refused, worried about ruining her reputation. Dillon distinctly remembered Nova even pleading for Robin's mercy at the time. Later, as a punishment, Casper had sent Robin to Mercy Hospital. They had agreed to let it go, and Robin had been released. Now, Nova was bringing it up again.
