Can’t Win Me Back

"Neither has Jasper proposed to you nor have you both had your wedding.

It didn't happen three years ago and still hasn't happened.

He didn't even put a decent-enough diamond ring on you.

"Everything is just as it is.

Jameson handled her as he pleased.

"Jasper is weak, always second-guessing.

He had you, but he was afraid of everything.

He doesn't deserve you." He pressed the hand wearing the ring against his chest, his eyes burning with passion.

"I'll give you everything he couldn't.

We'll have a romantic island wedding here on Rose Island.
