Even if someone were already taken and had made it clear to Jessica that he wasn't interested, she'd still make advances.
Casper forced a bitter smile. Ironically, he was always the one who made the first move in his relationship with Jessica.
He took a deep breath and sent a message. "Do you know why I haven't been with anyone else?"
"Oh?" Jessica's response came instantly.
"I'm surrounded by all sorts of women—smart, pure, stunning, delicate. But even after meeting so many, I've never felt the urge to fall in love, not even with you." Casper typed out his words carefully.
Jessica felt a sharp pain in her chest as she read the message. What was it that Annalise had that she didn't?
Casper continued, "But when I'm with Anna, I feel like spending my life with her would bring me happiness."
Every word he typed was infused with his deep affection for Annalise.
Jessica quickly understood that asking more questions wouldn't get her anywhere. She turned off her phone and stopped texting Zane.
She couldn't understand why the men interested in her never seemed to measure up. The ones with any real potential always ended up falling for Annalise. What was it about Annalise that she was lacking?
…
Chloe had tried to use Rowena to her advantage, but Rowena had turned the situation on her head.
The internet was buzzing with news about Chloe, and everyone was tearing her apart. She seethed with rage and exhaled sharply in frustration.
She couldn't get back at Rowena or win against Annalise in an argument. They weren't the right people to take revenge on, but there was still one easy target she could go after—Zachary.
