Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2432

"Sir!" Sheryl shouted.

She was just about to get to Justin's side when two shots were fired near her feet. Screaming, she dropped to her knees, threw her arms over her head, and scurried under the table like a terrified animal.

The air in the room grew heavy with menace.

Justin, known as the devil of the night, was a man who thrived on chaos. His power and influence stretched across continents, and he'd faced countless threats without flinching.

But as his visitor approached, an unfamiliar dread coiled in his chest. His hands gripped the couch's armrests so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The terror was suffocating.

"Get out, all of you," the man commanded, his voice cold and sharp.

The man remained fixated solely on Justin while Justin's guests fled in terror.

"Help! Somebody!" Sheryl screamed, her voice muffled as she cowered under the table.

No help would come. Outside, the others were either unconscious or dead.

A deafening bang shattered the silence. The man fired his gun at the table, the bullet splintering the wood and shattering the glass. Shards rained down on Sheryl, cutting into her face, arms, and legs. Blood seeped from the wounds, and she trembled uncontrollably.

The pain left her paralyzed. She barely suppressed the urge to cry out, fearing the man's next move—she almost peed herself.

Justin, still seated on the couch, met his attacker's gaze as the man closed the distance between them. His instinct to flee kicked in, but a powerful kick sent him and the couch sliding backward before he could act.

"Ugh!" Justin groaned, clutching his chest as he doubled over in pain, his face pale and strained.

A gun barrel pressed against his forehead.

At such close range, Justin realized who his attacker was. The truth was, he had already suspected their identity the moment they stepped through the door.
