Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1905

"Mr. Landon!" Angelina shrieked in pain from above him.

Landon looked up in dread, and his pupils dilated in shock. Angelina, hands tied, stood dangerously near the edge of the 32-foot-tall diving platform at the swimming pool, with Frank pointing a gun at her head.

The height of the springboard was alarming, as the pool was dry.

"Angie!" Landon's blood-stained white shirt was drenched in sweat. He took two steps forward but was forced back when Frank pointed the gun at him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Landon…" Tears brimming, Angelina choked on her emotions.

Landon cast a deep look at her. "No. You've never wronged me or owed anyone anything. Angie, it was my fault that you got into this situation. I should be apologizing to you instead."

His words sent a sharp pain through her chest. She had experienced highs and lows over her years of working for Landon. Nothing fazed her, except for his apology.

"Where's Lauren?" Landon's desperate tone echoed throughout the pool area.

Upon hearing that, Preston lazily picked up a remote control and pressed a button. A deafening sound rumbled to the left side, which was currently in complete darkness.

Landon vigilantly looked in that direction. He saw a trolley slowly coming into sight, carrying a massive glass tank.

With a clanking sound, the trolley's wheels tucked away, and the carefully designed tank landed in the designated location.

Through the glass, one could see an unconscious Lauren chained vertically in the tank. Her white dress was filthy and bloodied, making her appear like a ragged doll on display after being carelessly toyed with.
