The winds howled in the downpour as a sh of purple lightning struck. Alyssa recalled that Jasper was

standing under a free just now

The thought terrified her, especially because Jasper was on his phone. Was he asking to be struck by

lightning?

*Jasper Beckett, I will never meet you out there. Stop calling me and go home now!” Her eyes had

turned red.

“I will not leave if you aren’ting out.” His tone was steely.

“Madman. You’re an asshole!” Her face was flushed in anger. She cussed while making her way to the

stairs to get out of the vi. Sean called out to her repeatedly but failed to stop her.

Jasper grasped the phone tightly in his hand with a deep frown. Standing firmly, he stared at the door

of the vi.

He breathed heavily, his eyes lit up with hope when the door was finally opened.

Alyssa made her way to him with a jacket on her shoulders and a huge ck umbre in her hand. The

wind messed up her hair. She looked frail in the rain, as though she’d be blown away at any second.

Despite that, she had a fearless and proud expression on her face. Her bright eyes seemed familiar, to

his astonishment.

She had gone up to him with a grim face in his stupor. As the daughter of the Taylor Family with four

aplished brothers and a billionaire dad, she had billions in assets. With all the power and wealth,

she always had the say. But now, she was letting a man manipte her emotions.

“Are you dumb or sick in the mind? Aren’t you afraid you’d be struck by lightning?” The more she

thought about it, the more incensed she

felt.

He scrunched up his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you worrying about me?”

“Worrying? Hah. She inhaled deeply and smirked. “Stop ttering yourself. I’m out here asking you to

move. If you want to be struck by lightning, at least don’t do it at my front door!”

Her words were venomous and deeply hurtful. Even so, she appeared more alive and interesting than

the puppet–like woman she had been. And curiosity was the start of a rtionship.

“We’ll talk in the car,” he suggested when he saw her wet clothes.

“It’s fine,” she refused sternly. “Please make it short. Let’s talk right now!”

Get into the car!” He was more stubborn than her and approached her with a frown. At the same time,

a bolt of purplish blue lightning truck from the sky.

ollowing a loud boom, a thick tree branch snapped and copsed without warning. However, Alyssa

failed to hear the sound because of he roaring rain and the fact that she was furning at him.

Look out!”

he paused and felt a hot breath on her face. Jasper was quick to hug and protect her as the thick

branch struck him right on his back.
