His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Your mom's gone, Eliza. Her body's been in the pond for days, and it's... not good. Listen to me..." Aaron gripped her shoulders firmly. "You don't want to see her like this."

"Aaron, I need to see her. No matter what she looks like, she's still my mom."

Eliza's voice broke as tears streamed down her face, her body trembling.

Aaron's heart ached, but he held on. "I get it, Eliza. I really do. But trust me, it's better if you don't."

"I'll check it out," Casper said, approaching the gurney and lifting the white sheet with a heavy heart. The sight was beyond horrific.

Eliza broke free from Aaron and dashed over. Casper quickly covered the body and pulled her into his arms. "Don't look, Eliza. Please."

"Let me go, Casper! You're the murderer! Stop pretending to care!" Eliza's fury peaked as she bit down on his arm, drawing blood that stained his white shirt.
