Can’t Win Me Back

In the living room of the Bender residence, Sebastian clung tightly to Zayne, whose bruised and battered body slumped limply on the floor.

They held onto each other for warmth as they shivered.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and Jasper sat on the couch, but not without leaving a massive gap between them.

Once deeply in love, their current distance was a heartbreaking contrast to the intimacy they had shared. It was heartbreaking to see them like this.

Alyssa took a quick peek at Jasper's cold, expressionless face before turning her dull gaze away. Her hands lightly rested on her shoulders, where his touch still lingered-a ghost of warmth that refused to fade.

"How dare you attack my friend?" Landon sneered, towering over Sebastian and Zayne. His black leather gloves creaked as he clenched his fists. "You wouldn't know fear if it slapped you in the face. Maybe I should teach you a lesson.'

"M-Mr. Harper... Everything happened so quickly. Z-Zaynie just reacted out of fear and ended up overreacting... Sebastian pleaded, "He was just worried about me and ended up acting rashly. P-Please... Please spare him! You can beat me up instead!"

"Oh? A good son, is he?" Landon smirked, his voice dripping with disdain. "Tell me, Sebastian, does a good son gamble away his parents' money and rack up over ten million dollars in debt overseas? A good son who doesn't even dare return home without hiding? A good son, my foot!"

Zayne shrank further into Sebastian, panic flashing across his face as his dirty secret was laid bare.
