Sean took a deep breath and disclosed, “I saw Landon Harper checking in at the hotel with Lauren
Walsh just a little while ago.”
Alyssa immediately sat up in the bath, “What did you just say? Who’s checking in at the hotel? With whom?
“Landon Harper and Lauren Walsh. I’m sure I got the right person. He checked into a room with her.”
Alyssa inhaled sharply before letting out an anguished growl, “That fucking animal! Get me a gun! I’ll shoot that bastard in the crotch!”
The grating sound of the car tires against the parking lot ground echoed in the space. Sean watched as Alyssa drifted the Bugatti and parked it nicely into her parking spot.
He wore a proud grin on his lips.
Alyssa left her car, looking damp from the bath and seething in anger. She hissed, “Which room is that scoundrel in?”
“He’s in the presidential suite on the hotel’s top floor,” answered a worried Sean.
He lowered his voice and continued, “They just entered their suite. There’s only one presidential suite on the top floor, so no other guests would be disturbed even if there’s a commotion.”
“Got it.”
A few minutes later, Alyssa arrived at the door of the presidential suite in her stilettos, a bundle of murderous rage.
Sean followed closely behind her. Judging by her demeanor, it seemed as though she was here to confront a cheating couple rather than rescue a young lady who had made a poor choice.
“Swipe the room card.”
“Of course, Ms. Alyssa,” Sean acknowledged as he unlocked the door with the master card. Without further hesitation, she forcefully kicked the door open, almost leaving a hole in it.
“Landon Harper! Get your ass out here!” Alyssa’s voice boomed.
Hearing that, Landon wandered out with damp hair, water still dripping from his front bangs. He was shirtless and showing off his toned body. He wore nothing except for a loosely tied towel on his waist.
Seeing that, Sean took a deep breath, worrying that the towel might unravel at any time and accidentally flashing Alyssa. He couldn’t help but, think that Landon had the potential to be a gigolo with that seductive
“Lyse? It’s really you!” Landon confirmed that it was Alyssa after checking out with his own eyes.
He had been unsure when he first heard her voice. His eyes glimmered in excitement. “Gosh, why didn’t you let me know before you visit? I’d have thrown a shirt on.”
He then put on a devilish grin and added, “Though I look better without anything on.”
Alyssa laughed at the absurdity of the situation as she slowly went up to him. Then, he saw three flashes
Alyssa had moved with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he found himself on the receiving end of three stinging slaps across his handsome face.
He stared blankly at her, lips quivering from anger and disgruntlement. He mumbled, “L-Lyse, you hit me
How could you …”
His cheeks were swollen and numb. Behind her, Sean was stunned by the situation, but he was more concerned about the pain in her hand after slapping Landon.
“I don’t need good timing to slap you!” Feeling the anger rising in her chest, she clutched her pained and numb palm. “Didn’t I tell you that Lauren is my beloved little sister, even though we’re unrelated?
“Don’t you have enough women to play with? Why did you lay a finger on her? Does it excite you, knowing that she’s your friend’s sister?”
“No, it’s not like that. Lyse, hear me out!” Landon’s throat was dry from nervousness, but she didn’t give him a chance to catch his breath.
She hissed, ‘Landon, I was wrong about you. You’re filthy!”
i
Her remark cut deep, leaving him feeling immensely hurt and indignant. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Landon, what have you done to Lauren?” They heard a wintry voice cutting through the air at that pressing moment.
Alyssa turned around and saw Jeremy strode into the room after his urgent trip.
Soon, he stood beside her, casting a glance her way.
She furrowed her brow, examining him closely. Why was he covered in dirt and dust? Had he just returned from grave digging or coal mining?
*Jeremy, she slapped me thrice and called me filthy!” Landon sounded even more pitiable and wronged with his friend’s arrival.
He wore a forlorn expression as if he had found his savior after being bullied. “I’m unfairly blamed! Why don’t you rein her in?”
Jeremy gave the angry Alyssa a deep look and remarked, “I can never control her.”
Landon’s eyes widened at the perfect “couple” in front of his eyes.
Jeremy’s remark was meaningless, but paired with his longing gaze and his deep, hoarse voice, he sounded like a man in love.
After some contemplation, Landon’s perspective shifted. He believed, to be precise, that Jeremy was, at most, a man tormented by unrequited love.
It was a pity Landon didn’t have a phone with him. If not, he would have taken a photo of Jeremy’s cheesy expression and showed it to the latter.
“And it seems you never learn,” Jeremy frowned, his eyes simmering with anger as he chastised Landon.
He continued, “We asked you not to make a move on Lauren, but you kept crossing our lines. Do you think it’s unfair to be slapped thrice?
“I, on the other hand, think that it’s not enough. You should be slapped every time we run into you.”
We?
Alyssa felt uneasy at the way Jeremy had lumped them together. After all, he had once been a heartless man who wanted nothing to do with her.
“Mr. Walsh, please be careful with your choice of words. You and I are different individuals. Don’t you lump us together,” she warned him coldly and headed quickly for the bedroom.
She added, “Or else, I’ll take offense.”
Jeremy was left pursing his lips in awkwardness.
“Pfft! You’ve just failed to earn her favor! You had it coming!” Landon gloated, feeling happy as though his friend’s failure had made up for the slaps he had endured.
The next second, Landon let out a muffled groan as he was suddenly punched on the abs by Jeremy with full force. The impact was so intense it almost forced his soul out of his body.
Meanwhile, Alyssa hurriedly made her way to the bedroom. It was a short but torturous walk as her mind conjured up unsettling scenarios that might await her behind the bedroom door.
If Landon had truly tainted Lauren, she vowed to make him pay for it. Not even Jeremy could save
Landon’s ass.
“Lauren!” Alyssa stood in shock after she burst into the room. The room was quiet, and there was not the mess that she had braced herself for.
A sweet and cozy scent permeated the air. A bedside lamp shone gently on Lauren’s sleeping face in a crushingly beautiful scene.
Alyssa tiptoed to the bed and knelt on one knee, her fingers tenderly tracing the curve of Lauren’s warm cheek.
Her chest tightened as her eyes fell upon the teddy bear nestled in Lauren’s arms. Before she knew it, her eyes were brimming with tears.
Alyssa, who was fearless and faced all challenges with poise, would only break apart when she witnessed
Lauren’s vulnerability.
Jeremy walked in at that moment and witnessed Alyssa’s tender exchange with Lauren. His shoulders trembled, and a lump formed in his throat.
Alyssa hastily wiped away her tears upon hearing his approaching footsteps.
The room was dead quiet. Jeremy swallowed hard and caressed Alyssa’s damp hair. He urged her, “Blow your hair dry. It’s chilly out there. You’ll catch a cold.”
“That’s none of your business.” She hastily stood up to avoid any physical contact with him.
A wave of of emotions stirred in his chest as he clenched his fists. He failed to comprehend his actions, and he had lost himself.
Jeremy reported, “Don’t worry. Landon didn’t do anything to Lauren. He might be rash, but he knows his limits because Lauren is my sister.”
“He might not have crossed the boundaries now, but you can’t guarantee he’ll do the same in the future. You can’t trust a man’s words or his ability to control his sexual desires.” Alyssa looked hardened.
