The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

It was one thing for Annalise to reason with Casper, but for him to actually listen to her at all and stop his advances was shocking!

Jessica was so infuriated she nearly threw her phone on the ground. She took deep breaths and cursed Casper for foiling her plans. She had gone to great lengths to set up Annalise just so she could gain destructive evidence against her. But Casper hadn't defiled Annalise at all!

Swallowing her rage, Jessica paced around the room. A long while later, she calmed down and called Casper. "Casper!" she growled.

Casper was buried in work when he received Jessica's call. Although Zane had wired him the start-up money, he dared not hire a full team for fear that his business would fail. He didn't want to waste the resources Zane had given him. As such, he chose to be hands-on with the work.

Upon hearing Jessica's incensed voice, Casper knew what to expect from this call. He kept his composure as he replied, "Yes?"

Jessica had tried hard to keep up her pleasant image before him. On the off-chance that he could pull himself together and become wealthy again, he might still want her back.

But after seeing the video he'd sent her, she knew she could no longer keep up the pretenses. "You useless piece of shit! I gave you the perfect opportunity, and you messed it up!"
