Can’t Win Me Back

The golden iris stood as a symbol of triumph.

"Ms. Alyssa, we're on track. We'll make it to the press conference on time!" Sean declared, stepping on the accelerator with a fiery look in his eyes.

"Safety first," Alyssa reminded him in a calm, steady voice.

Surprisingly, at this crucial juncture, she appeared composed. "Taty is due soon, and you're about to become a father. As a family man, you shouldn't be as reckless as before." The thought of his unborn son brought a blissful smile to Sean's face, softening his fiery resolve.

Alyssa closed her eyes, though her mind remained in overdrive.

The truth was, she was forcing herself to stay alert. Ever since Amber's disappearance, she hadn't had a single restful night.

She had survived when others hadn't, and that resilience fueled her belief that she could endure again. This time, she wouldn't let Justin win.

Her phone buzzed as they reached the tollbooth for Solana City's expressway. It was a number she didn't recognize.
