Chapter 149: You Are Free
The screech of tires and the jarring impact of metal on metal jolted Brandon from his self-absorbed thoughts. He slammed on the brakes, his body lurching forward against the seatbelt. He swore under his breath, his anger flaring. This was the last thing he needed.
He threw open the car door and stormed out, his eyes scanning for the offending vehicle. He spotted it a few feet behind him, a sleek black salon with a dented front bumper and tinted windows which were wound down. A man emerged from the driver’s side then he opened the back door and a man came out, his expression calm, almost amused.
Brandon’s anger intensified. He marched towards the man, his fists clenching. "What the hell do you think you’re doing?" he yelled, his voice laced with rage. "You just rammed into my car! Does your driver even know how to drive?"
The man remained unfazed, his expression unchanged. He simply shrugged, his eyes meeting Brandon’s. "It was necessary," he said, his voice smooth and even.
Brandon’s brow furrowed. He could not understand the man’s nonchalant attitude, he had just rammed into his car and yet he was so calm.
"Necessary?" he repeated, his voice laced with disbelief. "You just caused an accident! What do you mean, it was necessary?"
The man took a step closer, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I know about your... Lyse problem," he said, his voice dropping to a low, almost conspiratorial whisper.
Brandon froze. His anger was replaced by a sudden wave of unease. How did this stranger know about Lyse? Had Levi sent him here to hurt him? He glanced around and noticed that there was no one around, a sense of apprehension rose in him.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, his voice cautious.
"I know that you are having trouble with Levi," the man continued, ignoring Brandon’s question. "I know you want Lyse back. And I know you want revenge on Levi for taking everything from you."
Brandon’s heart pounded in his chest. This was getting stranger and stranger. He didn’t know this man, yet he seemed to know intimate details about his life.
