Chapter 146: Why Won’t You See That I Love You
He reached out and grabbed her wrist before turning away and and dragging her along with him.
Lyse dug her feet in and tried to pull her hand out of his hold but his grip was like a metallic vice around her hand and he pulled her along almost effortlessly.
"Brandon what is wrong with you!" She snapped angrily as she slapped at his arm.
"What do you think you are doing?" The authoritative voice of Levi stopped Brandon whose hold on Lyse slackened and Lyse immediately took advantage of the distraction to wrench her arm free of his hold and take a step back, warily eyeing both men.
"None of your business old man. Now go away, no one wants you here." Brandon snapped rudely, glaring at Levi who looked at him nonchalantly.
Brandon bristled at the sight of Levi, he was ruining his plans. If he was not here, he would have already gotten Lyse into the car and away from any distractions. He could already see Lyse slipping away and he could not bear even the thought of it.
Lyse thought to take advantage of the men’s stare down to escape but she had barely taken a step away when Brandon lunged towards her, his face contorted in rage. Fear, cold and sharp, pierced through her. She tried to scramble back, but as she did so to Brandon hold, Lyse stumbled backwards, losing her balance. She crashed to the ground, her head hitting the cold, unforgiving floor with a sickening thud. The world spun, then went black.
Levi was enraged as he watched Brandon crouched beside Lyse’s unconscious body. The suddenness of Brandon’s attack had thrown him off guard, he had not envisioned that he would go for Lyse while he was standing right there. He surged forward, pushing Brandon back with a force that sent him reeling.
"You stupid fool!" Levi roared, his voice a low growl. "How dare you touch her!"
