Ch. 241..250

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 241-Don’t cross the line, Jasper Beckett!” Javier cried, slamming his hand on the desk.

“Business is business, Dad. Keep the personal things out of it. That’s what you’ve always taught us Jasper languidly leaned into his chair, expression calm.

“You’re greedy, that’s what you are! Haven’t you had enough? What should have been Justin’s post was given to you already, yet now you still want to aim for the board? Why don’t you just swap in as President yourself?” Javier roared.

Jasper sneered, shooting his father a cold glare. “Haven’t you benefited more from me being in my current position? Ever since I was young, you have set a price on every single thing I wanted to attain.

“You know full well why I’m in the CEO’s chair today, so why act like the innocent victim here?

We’re the only ones in this room. Don’t you get tired of putting on this act?” Javier was left red–faced and speechless.

“Me as VP, in exchange for the company’s salvation from a serious crisis. It’s your choice.” Jasper stood up from his seat and went to the door.

Before he left, he looked back and said, “Of course, you could continue insisting on Sophia to become VP if you don’t mind things spiraling further out of control.” When Jasper returned to his office, it felt like a great weight had been lifted from his chest. He closed the door behind him and took a deep breath, flexing his clenched fists.

He hadn’t had that much fun in ages.

Seeing Javier suffer for Sophia’s crimes and feeling helpless in meeting his demands was so refreshing and welcoming. It felt like he had been rejuvenated with a life elixir. 1 Still, Jasper had to admit that he couldn’t have done it without Alyssa’s help.

He had only planned to push Sophia out from the board, not cause such a commotion as to crash.

the family business.

Alyssa’s plans had done the work intended. They not only kicked Sophia out of the picture but chance of Sophia keeping him in check.

Jasper should really be thanking her. Yet, disappointment and fury replaced these emotions upon recalling what she had said to him.

Why should he be thanking her?

Her motivation had been to steal the Verdane Valley project from their company.

Now that her plan had worked, they were considered even.

Just then, his phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID and scowled before answering it.

“What now?” “Please stay with me tonight, Jasper …” came Landon’s raspy voice. He sounded like a mistress who had just been kicked out by her lover.

He continued, “I’ve bought three limited edition elite–class luxury cars and had four A–list celebrities drinking millions of dollars worth of alcohol with me, but I still can’t find solace from my sadness. Is this what breaking up feels like? It’s so fucking terrible!” “Go to a hospital and have them check on your heart. Don’t bother me.” Jasper was about to hang up when Landon suggested, “Hey, why don’t we celebrate that stepmother of yours being arrested instead?” Jasper pursed his lips. “Where and when?” Later that evening, a Rolls Royce rolled up to Solana Film Academy, its Spirit of Ecstasy glinting in the lamplight. Though it tried to keep away from prying eyes, it still caught the attention of

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 242-“Ms Alyssa, I’ve heard there’s a wonderful café in the university with the best macchiatos. Why don’t I grab some for you and Ms Tatiana?” Sean suggested.

“That would be lovely. Bring her out here too.” Alyssa’s eyes never left the plans she’d printed out.

She added, “She didn’t answer my call just now, so call her later when you head inside. I don’t think she knows we’re using this entrance.” “Alright, miss.” Sean stepped out of the car and went into the university.

The moment he did, several young students gave him admiring looks. He was quite attractive, tall, and dressed in a proper suit and tie.

Sean ignored the looks sent his way and proceeded to buy two coffees.

Nonetheless, he still managed to catch the attention of the female baristas.

Two fashionably dressed students walked into the café, all designer clothing and jewelry.

“Did you hear? The performance arts‘ convocation play is setting Tatiana Taylor as the female lead!

Sean paused what he was doing and focused on listening to what the two had to say.

“Hmph. Her again? She must have slept with the teachers to win that position!” “Right? Earlier, I even saw her leaving for the forest behind campus with Tyler Crowley, the hottest guy in our term. What a slut! We should tell everyone to stay away from h–ah!” The girls suddenly shrieked, the sound shocking everyone in the café.

Sean had splashed the hot coffee in his hand onto them.

“A–Are you crazy? How fucking dare you?” the girl screamed. Their makeup was starting to run.

down their faces.

“Section 312 of the Criminal Code provides that whoever states, makes, circulates, or encourages statements or claims or any information of any kind which amounts to intentional slander or defamation of another’s personal reputation or name, can be sentenced to three years maximum of imprisonment or be stripped away the self–realization right of politics,” Sean recited curtly.

+15 BONOS Then, he said, “You two should be grateful I don’t hurt women.” One of the girls was terrified, while the other remained adamantly proud. “You’re Tatiana’s boyfriend, aren’t you? Why don’t you go behind campus and see what’s going on for yourself? We don’t go around making shit up!” Tyler Crowley, the hottest male student in Solana Film Academy, had cornered Tatiana in the forest area behind campus.

“I’ve told you countless times, Tyler. I don’t like you or want to be with you.” Tatiana rolled her eyes. She was turned off by his personality and countless designer brand clothing.

She added, “I have a dinner date, so bye.” “Do you think I’m just playing around, Taty?” Tyler cocked his head, ignoring her words. He pulled a red velvet box from his pocket before opening it up. Inside was a diamond– studded Cartier watch.

“I chose this just for you as a token of my affection. Keep it. As long as you’re my girlfriend, you can have anything you want–cars, horses, clothes… I could even give you your own house.” Tyler grinned slyly, licking his lips. “Besides, I can satisfy you in other ways, too.” Though Tatiana had always remained pure at heart, she instantly picked up on what the boy was implying.

Thoroughly disgusted, she flinched and smacked the box out of Tyler’s hands.

The watch landed in the dirt by their feet just like that.

Having never been rejected by a woman, rage and shame consumed Tyler. He gripped Tatiana’s wrist, demanding. “What did you just do, Tatiana? You think you’re some rich heiress who can mess around as she pleases?” “Let me go… Let me go, Tyler!” Tatiana cried, trying to escape from his grip.

“Heh… this is part of your act too, isn’t it, Tatiana? I’ve seen so many girls like you who try to sleep up to the top.” Tyler hooked an arm around her waist, his grin turning devious. “You don’t want your future ruined, do you? You’d be spoilt for choices if you are mine.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 243-Tyler said, “Isn’t this what you wanted? You can stop the act now.” Tyler then pressed Tatiana up against a tree trunk and leaned in to kiss her.

“No!” Tatiana screamed, closing her eyes as tears began falling from them.

Suddenly, a loud yelp was heard, followed by Tyler cursing, “F***!” Slowly, Tatiana opened her eyes. She saw a familiar figure standing before her, deftly throwing Tyler over his shoulder.

Sean then knelt down, grabbed Tyler’s lapel, and began punching his face repeatedly.

Frightened, Tatiana cried, “Stop! Stop it!” She ran up to Sean to grab him so he would stop hitting Tyler. She was scared Sean would actually kill the boy.

“You … How dare you? Do you have any idea who I am?” Tyler grunted out weakly, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Sean, yelling, “My dad is Crowley Corp’s President! Hit me again, and I’ll make your life hell!” “The name’s Sean Lynch, from Belbanks.” Sean’s voice was tinged with anger.

Still, he forced himself to calm down, then wrapped his suit around Tatiana. It pained him to see her so scared. He gently gathered her in his arms, and the latter instantly felt at ease.

“Hear this well, dog. Don’t ever put your filthy hands on Tatiana again, or not even Alistair Crowley.

can save you!” Tyler ended up scrambling away for his life.

Tatiana cleaned herself up in a nearby washroom. Sean was there by the door when she came out, waiting for her worriedly.

“Sean…” Sean met her eyes, shooting a warm smile in her direction. “Ms. Tatiana.” Tatiana’s heart ached when she realized he was back to being formal. She went up to him and pulled the coat off her shoulders. “Here, your coat. Thank you.” “We can’t let what happened today stand, Ms. Tatiana. I will report this to Ms.

Alyssa accordingly.” Sean had a solemn, if not angry expression on his face.

“No, please don’t! Please, Sean, don’t tell my sister!” Tatiana begged, holding onto his arm.

She continued, “If Alyssa steps in, this will only spiral out of control. I don’t want that to happen, nor do I want to cause her trouble, so please.” “That filthy mutt tried to rape you, Tatiana! How could you not do anything?” Sean cried, anger tinging his voice.

“You’ve taught him a lesson. He won’t try that again.” Tatiana was scared but even more worried about burdening her family with this.

She added, “I’m about to graduate. We won’t see each other afterward, so it’s all okay. Plus, I still have you guys to back me up.” Sean was about to argue again when Tatiana sighed. “Please just let me be, Sean… I have my reasons.”

 

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 244-Jasper ended up meeting Landon in a newly opened club in Solana City.

Landon’s tables were filled with all kinds of wine. He held one right now, belting out his lungs to “Live or Let Die.” Jasper reclined on the luxurious sofa with a shot of whisky in hand. He looked like some sullen “So live and let die!” Landon yelled into the microphone.

It was nearly enough for Jasper to crush his shot glass into pieces.

If he had known Landon for two years less, he wouldn’t be sitting here keeping the loser company or enduring this torture.

Jasper took a painful swallow of his whiskey.

“My man! Burp!” Landon called, heaving a loud burp before falling onto the couch beside Jasper.

He reached out to hook an arm around his friend’s shoulders, asking, “How was my singing?

Terrific, no?” Jasper frowned and moved away, making Landon fall flat on his face on the sofa. “You’re terrific if you were a donkey in heat.” “F***ing hell, did you get kicked in the nuts earlier? What’s with the shitty attitude, huh?” Recalling how beautiful Alyssa was and how cold her words were when she tapped that blade on his cheek, sadness, and pain welled up in his chest.

“Poor Lyse. No wonder she divorced you. That foul temper of yours is enough to make her hit menopause early!

“Lyse?” Jasper questioned, “I thought you had your heart broken? You two aren’t that close anymore, no?” Landon stared at him incredulously, thinking, “How mean!” “I admit she’s the most beautiful and intriguing woman I’ve ever met. I don’t think I would be able to lock her down, but…” Landon downed several gulps of wine before continuing. “So how could she have given up her luxurious life to become a nobody–to become your wife? You’re a handsome man, sure “But that only works for so long. She was loyal to you for so many years, yet when the time came, you just chucked her aside like some “That’s enough, Landon,” Jasper said curtly.

“No!” Landon cried, feeling unbearably upset. “I can’t wrap my head around it. I just can’t! You two must have known each other for who knows how many past lives before for her to sacrifice everything for you! No sane human would do that!” Honestly, not even Jasper knew why. That was why he had wanted to get the answer from her at Seaview Manor. His confusion and turmoil had nearly become a sickness in his heart.

He hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since the night of his grandfather’s birthday.

Just as Jasper was about to lose himself in his thoughts, Landon suddenly guffawed. “I know I have a long history of being a womanizer, Jasper, but I really am serious about Alyssa “Sometimes I wonder why I couldn’t have known her earlier?” Jasper said nothing.

“If I had, I would have warned her about you. I would have told her not to get anywhere near Jasper Beckett, or your life would be miserable!” Now, Jasper had the urge to strangle his friend.

The moment Tatiana saw her sister, the doom and gloom in her chest dissipated. She went up to Alyssa, insisting on treating her to dinner.

Unable to talk her out of it, Alyssa picked a home–style restaurant serving foreign cuisine. It was nothing extravagant, so Tatiana wouldn’t have to spend too much.

Though the food wasn’t Michelin–grade, the sisters still shared a happy hour and a half, talking.

about everything under the sun.

Meanwhile, Sean gladly topped their glasses with drinks whenever he could, never bothering to get a bite for himself. He was just really happy to see Tatiana and Alyssa enjoying themselves.

After they had emptied two whole bottles of wine, the sisters went for karaoke.

Sean had planned to join them, but then his brother called at the last moment, asking him to “Go on, Sean. Don’t worry about us,” Alyssa urged.

“Yeah, Sean. Go on home,” Tatiana insisted. She shot him a kind smile. “You’ve helped us a lot tonight. It’s time you took a break. We’ll head home right after karaoke.

Promise.” Today’s Bonus

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 245-“I’m sorry, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Tatiana. Please have a safe trip home,” Sean said with a sigh. “I’ll be leaving now. But please, contact me if there’s anything urgent, and I’ll come to your aid.

immediately!” “Alright, alright. You nag more than women do,” Alyssa scowled, gently pushing him onward.

Sean gazed at her for a moment more before finally leaving with a smile.

The sight filled Tatiana up with envy, a bitter feeling rising from her heart to her throat. But she wasn’t jealous of her sister at all. Alyssa truly was a marvelous and exceptional woman. It made perfect sense for Sean to have a crush on her instead.

Someone as weak and soft–spoken as Tatiana herself would never get his attention.

But then, why did Alyssa’s ex–husband divorce her?

Maybe he had cancer and didn’t want to become a burden… Alyssa had booked a VIP room for them at the karaoke. A bone–chilling wail came from the opposite room when they reached its door.

“So scary!” Tatiana grabbed onto her sister’s arm.

“Sounds like a donkey in heat.” Alyssa and Tatiana quickly entered their room, not wanting possible contact with the lunatic across the hallway.

They ordered two buckets of iced beers and a table full of fruits and snacks.

They were professionals when it came to singing, after all.

The two sang everything from opera to musicals to pop music, making full use of their time Alyssa ended up somewhat drunk by the end of their session, having drunk and snacked more than usual with the addition of her good mood from having secured the Verdane Valley project.

“Taty. I’m going to the washroom. Wait for me here, don’t- don’t go anywhere!” Alyssa drawled, getting up from her seat.

“Are you drunk, Alyssa? I’ll come with you.” Tatiana could tell from her sister’s flushed cheeks.

“No way! How can I be drunk? I’m your big sister. You should be the one getting drunk first, and I’m supposed to–uh, send you home safe after!” Tatiana giggled, finding her sister’s logic amusing.

Alyssa had to steady herself on the walls as she walked back to their VIP room.

Her limbs were initially heavy and sluggish, but she slowly got the hang of controlling them.

The karaoke club’s decor was decorated like the Palace of Pteryx, with gold reflective mirrors and wallpaper everywhere, and with the confusingly numbered rooms, Alyssa soon found herself lost.

She squinted, carefully finding her way back.

Just then, she came face to face with a tall figure, bumping squarely into his chest.

“Oof!” Alyssa huffed, her mind rattled from the contact. Her feet wobbled beneath her, and she started falling backward.

The man reached out to support her by the waist, stopping her fall. He could feel how lean and supple she was beneath her silk dress. He was able to hold her up with a single hand.

He gazed at her through his gold–rimmed spectacles, marveling at her beautiful features.

“I believe you’ve had too much to drink, miss.” “Uh… No, I haven’t.” Alyssa gazed back at the man, meeting his eyes.

Suddenly, she grinned and reached up to take off his spectacles. The man’s eyes instantly flashed.

murderously.

The last person to have touched his spectacles was a hundred feet underwater in the nearest ocean.

“You! Little bastard!” Alyssa cried happily.

The man’s breathing hitched as he narrowed his eyes, once again searching for familiarity on Alyssa’s face.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 246-“You really are Little Bastard Alyssa cackled joyfully.

The man smiled, the coldness in his eyes dissipating instantly. He tucked his glasses back, reminiscing on the nickname he had been called so long ago.

Even his father stopped calling him that years ago. Yet Alyssa was still the same old as before, unrestrained and always doing whatever she pleased.

“You’re as beautiful as ever, even after fifteen years, Alyssa.” “Hehe… You’re not bad yourself!” Alyssa grinned, patting his cheek.

The man’s smile deepened. He did not shy away from her touch. Now, this was the Alyssa he’d always remembered.

She covered her mouth, burping once again. This time, her knees started shaking. She was unable to hold herself up any longer.

The man smirked and lifted her into his arms right away, feet off the floor.

“Hey, put me down!” Alyssa cried, wriggling away from his grasp like a feisty kitten. Her burgundy -red dress made the nicest contrast with her pale, milky skin.

Feeling a sudden desire to toy with her, the man asked, “Sure, but only if you say my name.” “You You’re James James…” Alyssa really couldn’t recall at this point. The alcohol had turned her mind into mush. She didn’t even know what she was mumbling on and on about, much less.

remember the man’s name.

Jameson Schmidt. But I don’t mind if you want to call me Little Bastard,” Jameson murmured in her ear, teasing her. “But only you can call me that. No one else.” Unfortunately, Alyssa was too far gone to be affected. His words instantly became random numbers and sounds in her mind.

Jameson carefully laid her down on the lounge in his room, making sure she was supported.

Just then, his secretary gave him a call on his phone.

“They’re here, Mr. Schmidt.” +15 BONOS “Send them back,” Jameson said, never once looking away from Alyssa.

“Huh?” His secretary asked, surprised.

“Cancel tonight’s meeting, have them leave me alone.” Not daring to ask why, the secretary replied, “As you say, sir.” “And get me a bottle of ginger supplements. ASAP.” Jameson hung up the call and quietly sat down beside Alyssa. He gazed at her, eyes soft, and tucked her hair behind her ear.

“Such a sweet coincidence.” Landon fell asleep right on the sofa after singing “You Give Love a Bad Name.” Jasper’s jaw was clenched as he pondered on, finally tossing back the last dregs of his whiskey.

He then took out one of Landon’s cigarettes and lit it, taking a puff. The nicotine swirled in his chest, clouding the emotions riled up by the thought of Alyssa.

Following his divorce from Alyssa, his daily routine descended into chaos. He found himself giving in to smoking and drinking without anyone there to advise him to cut back a bit.

“Lyse… Alyssa…” Landon mumbled in his sleep, hand reaching out to tug at Jasper’s shirt.

Jasper scowled and pried his fingers off. “Shut up. She’s not here.

“Plus, who gave you the right to call her Lyse?” Suddenly, the door opened to Xavier standing in the doorway, looking like he had just run a marathon.

“Mr. Beckett, sir! I–I just saw Ms. Alyssa!” “What?” Jasper got up instantly. “Where?”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 247-chapter will update soon

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 248-Jameson froze up on the spot, his heart clenching painfully for a brief second.

Alyssa had fumed so hard her cheeks had gone flushed again. She glared at Jasper, yelling, “How low are you stooping now, Jasper Beckett? Let me go now! I am not going anywhere with you!” Jasper let her scream and pull, never letting go throughout. He felt like nothing more mattered in this world right now besides taking Alyssa away from this place, from this stranger.

Seeing her being in a room alone with the stranger, having drunk so much, was unbearable for him. He never expected Alyssa to be capable of something like this.

“Let me go, Jasper, right–ah!” Jasper bent down and lifted her over his shoulder, hand locking on her waist as he marched straight for the door.

“Put me down, you jacka–I’m gonna hurl!” Alyssa cried, beating at his shoulder with all her might.

Her stomach was churning so badly. She was going to retch at any time.

“I’m not stopping you.” Jasper eyed her sternly and continued walking on, not even a hint of compassion in his tone.

That was punishment for her behavior tonight, he thought.

He thought Alyssa was such a heartless cheat.

Jameson watched silently as the two left, a flush of anger slowly rising in his expression.

“Bastards will be bastards,” he muttered “What should we do now, Mr. Schmidt? Should I follow them?” his secretary asked.

“Have someone else trail them.” Jameson traced his finger across the rim of the glass Alyssa had drunk from, her lipstick soft against his skin.

“It really came as a surprise that Jasper Beckett is actually married!” The secretary cried in disbelief. “When was their wedding? Not a whisper of this news was ever made public!” “Look into it,” Jameson ordered, taking a sip of water from the glass. “Find out what Jasper Beckett has been up to all these years and what their relationship is.”Jasper had wanted to bring Alyssa back to his VIP room, but the thought of Landon being there with them was immensely unwelcome, so he brought her all the way to the club entrance.

Along the way there, the staff and some customers were lucky enough to get a glimpse of the two, their eyes widening and quiet gasps coming out from their mouths, but Jasper disregarded them entirely.

“Jas–Jasper, I seriously need to puke…” Alyssa moaned, getting dizzier by the second.

Her voice roused something in Jasper. Heat flushed through his body as he swallowed. “Karma’s a bitch, Alyssa Taylor.” Only then did he set her down on the sidewalk outside. The moment he did, Alyssa pressed him.

up against a nearby car, making his breathing hitch. He gazed at her flushed cheeks and felt the soft weight of her hands on his chest- “Blurgh!” Alyssa doubled over and puked the remains of her dinner all over his suit.

The intense and pungent smell made Jasper snarl, his nausea rising to the max.

What the fuck was wrong with her?

“Are you … Are you some kind of ghost, Jasper? Why the fuck do you keep on… burp… following me around like you’re haunting me? Leave me alone already!” Alyssa whined and pushed him away with all her might:

But then Jasper grabbed onto her wrists, asking angrily, “Who was that man with the spectacles?

“Who? My He’s my latest fling! Hehehe. Do you like him?” Alyssa grinned, her eyes narrowing Into crescents

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 249-“Not one bit!” Jasper snarled, not holding back his thoughts.

“Hahaha… You’re out of your mind, Beckett!” Alyssa yelled, pulling her hand away from his grip.

“What? You can have the love of your life, but I can’t see anyone else? What kind of monopolistic, egoistic bullshit is this? I’m not some slave, you jackass!” Her words stabbed into Jasper’s heart like blades.

He recalled how close Alyssa had been in proximity with the spectacled man, and fury rose in his being once again.

Her gaze had been molten and warm, and what could have happened next made Jasper dread.

All he felt now was the need to possess her, to keep her and shield her from everyone else.

“Interesting private life you have, Ms. Alyssa.” Pain, rage, and jealousy coursed through Jasper’s chest. “Why such a big room all to yourselves? Worried you won’t have enough fun?” He was trying to enrage her, to upset her, yet all he seemed to be doing was making himself even more upset.

“Pft, hahahah!” Alyssa tossed her head back, laughing. “Of course, st* pid! Do you think I’m still that boring little housewife, Alice White? I’m capable of so many things… You can’t even begin to imagine.” “Alyssa!” Jasper felt like he was having a heart attack. “You’re leaving this place tonight, no matter what! Don’t you dare think about finding anyone else with me around!” Just then, a police car on patrol swerved around the corner.

Alyssa had a sudden idea. She hunched over and wailed like a damsel in distress. “Help, help me!

He’s trying to hurt me!” “You!” Jasper paled instantly.

The car instantly stopped, and two policemen hopped off, heading straight for the two of them.

Hey, let her go right now!” Alyssa swiftly got rid of Jasper’s grasp, forcing out tears. “I accidentally vomited on him, but I me “Stay away from this lady, sir. You’re borderline S**ually harassing her, do you know that?” “We can take you in just because of this!” The two policemen surrounded Jasper, forcing him to stay put. “I’m no hooligan nor stranger. I know this woman.” “Do you, miss?” One of the police officers asked Alyssa.

She shook her head. “No, sir.” The police stared coldly at Jasper. “It looks like we have no choice but to arrest you, sir” Just then, Jasper’s phone rang. It was a call from Javier.

Still trembling from anger, he answered the call.

“Where the hell are you? Get your ass back right now!” Javier roared from the other end. “Lia tried to kill herself! She has slit her wrists! She’s being resuscitated right now in the hospital Jasper paled almost instantly.

“Can you take responsibility and make up your mind in your love life, Jasper Beckett? Why do you keep dragging things on with Alyssa Taylor when you’re already engaged to Liana?

“Look at what you’ve done! She might die, do you know that? She saved your life when you were a child, and this is how you repay her?” The dark memories of Jasper’s childhood suddenly overcame him. He found it difficult to breathe When he turned around, Alyssa had already gone back into the karaoke

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 250-Alyssa walked back to her VIP room. She was sober, and her good mood had dissipated.

What kind of coincidence was she experiencing to be able to meet Jasper here, of all places?

Maybe she should get a lucky charm or something to keep her from this shitty luck.

Just then, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her arm.

Alyssa looked at who it was and smiled when she saw it was Tatiana. “I’m… I’m okay, Taty.” “Was that… Was that your ex–husband, sis?” Tatiana asked curiously.

“Mhm.” “Wow! He’s so hot!” Tatiana’s eyes were wide with admiration. “I thought Jonah, Silas, Liam, and Axel were handsome already. I didn’t expect anyone else to be able to top them.

“Your ex has that kind of striking hotness, like a beach model or something. Is he really just a company CEO and not some kind of superstar?” Alyssa cupped her forehead, scowling, “Striking hotness, my ass… He’s not even an oven.” “No wonder Mom said he was hotter than Kris Hensworth! I didn’t believe her at first, because she has had a crush on the celebrity for ages. Turns out your ex really is hotter than him!” Tatiana cried excitedly.

“So what? He’s still as useless and dumb as a brick,” Alyssa rolled her eyes. “If you say he’s hot one more time, I’m telling Winston your mom has a crush on Kris Hensworth!” By the time Alyssa and Tatiana left, it was already too late in the night. To avoid waking up her coursemates, Alyssa brought Tatiana back to the manor to spend the night.

Tatiana was concerned for her sister, seeing that she had gotten pretty drunk that night. She noticed Alyssa kept rubbing her forehead as if trying to ease some tension.

“Let me give you a massage, Alyssa,” Tatiana offered kindly.

So Alyssa lay back in her younger sister’s lap, sighing and letting Tatiana do her thing. Her breath was still tinged with alcohol.

Tatiana swallowed nervously. Her sister was really pretty. Frankly, no one should look so good drunk.

Alyssa later had their driver park the car by the manor entrance. She liked taking walks whenever she was drunk so that she wouldn’t have a hard time later. The siblings then took a stroll outside the neighborhood, admiring the night view.

Suddenly, Alyssa’s grip on her sister’s hand tightened.

“Alyssa? What’s wrong?” “Someone’s following us.” Her intuition was setting off alarm bells.

Tatiana tensed up, scared. She looked around her surroundings, cold sweat breaking out on her skin.

Alyssa assured her, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. Whoever it is is digging their own grave.” She had already built up a great well of anger from earlier after crossing paths with Jasper. So, whoever was stalking them was sure to get a heavy beating.

“Show yourself already, coward!” Alyssa yelled, eyes glinting dangerously. She quickly tucked Tatiana behind her back.

Footsteps slowly rang out. A man dressed in a full black top, slacks, and a mask came out from behind some trees. He was large and muscular, eyes unreadable.

Tatiana was so frightened she was starting to hyperventilate.

Alyssa, on the other hand, remained unfazed. She knew this man likely knew a thing or two about fighting. Nonetheless, she was still confident in her ability to take him on. It was not like anyone could reach Jasper or Axel’s standards.

The man in black asked curtly, “Which of you two is Alyssa Taylor?” He sounded somewhat foreign. Not a local, Alyssa guessed.

“Me, motherfucker. You have five seconds to beg for mercy before I snap your legs in two,” Alyssa snapped, not the least bit scared.

“I see.” The man nodded.

Next thing they knew, he had taken out a sharp butterfly knife and was heading straight for “Careful Tatiana screamed She was quickly pushed a distance away by her sister, who yelled, Run, Taty!” But where could the run to? She couldn t leave Alyssa alone here!
