His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Suspicious?

It was natural to feel suspicious when encountering someone who looked just like someone you knew.

But...

"Don't worry. You're no longer Eliza but Valerie now. Your ID says Valerie and Eliza's records were wiped a long time ago. Even if he recognizes you, what can he do? Drag you back by force? If he tries, he's breaking the law." Chelsea's words were firm, but her hand shook as she held Eliza's.

Eliza, on the other hand, was much calmer. "Chelsea, I'm not worried about him recognizing me. So what if he does? Like you said, Eliza is dead. I'm Valerie now, a widow living in Oak Falls with a past marriage and a kid. He's not going to be interested in a widow." She knew Casper too well-he had a thing about women with a clean slate in relationship.

"A widow with a kid? He won't feel the need to be possessive," Eliza added.

"Alright, Chelsea, let's stop worrying about it. I'm tired. You should head back, too. Don't you have to return to Falconridge tomorrow? Get some rest."

Chelsea was indeed planning to go back to Falconridge. But Casper's sudden appearance had her concerned for Eliza. "How can I leave when you're like this?"

"Like what?" Eliza chuckled, shaking her head. "Don't worry, I can handle it."

"Can you really?" Chelsea asked, still unsure.

"Yes, now go home."

Chelsea returned to Falconridge.
