His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 35

Eliza murmured in agreement.

"We're all friends, he shouldn't mind." Aaron handed Eliza a business card. "I've already spoken to the boss. If you decide to go for it, you can head straight there. He is a really nice guy."

"Thank you, Aaron."

After getting out of the car, Aaron handed her an umbrella. "Take this."

"I’m good. It's just a short walk."

"The rain in early autumn is chilling, and you're already soaked. Just take it, please."

Eliza obediently took the umbrella, thanked him, and watched as Aaron left. As she turned around, she almost bumped into a wall of muscle.

Lifting her eyes, she found herself staring into a pair of brooding eyes. Wasn't Casper supposed to be at the hospital with Nova? Why was he here, at the bottom of her apartment building?

"What are you doing here?"

"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known you'd asked Aaron to bring you home."

He would never allow his woman to be coveted by another man. Whether he loved her or not, he wouldn't permit it.

Eliza scoffed lightly. "Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"

"You really think I'm that gullible?"

If he hadn't seen Aaron's car stop in front of Eliza or see her get in the car without any hesitation, perhaps he would have believed it.

"I leave for a few minutes, and you're already flirting with Aaron. Really, Eliza? You're being naughty," he said, roughly pulling her closer. "Do you just enjoy not listening to whatever I say? Since you won't listen, maybe you don't need this ear."

He used immense strength to twist her ear. Eliza was in pain and reached out to block him, which only angered Casper further. He twisted her ear, turning it. Blood trickled down the side of her face, drop by drop.
