Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1261

There was no sign of Alyssa!

"Damn it! This is not good! How could a person just disappear like that?" Silas wrapped his hands around his head. He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

Jonah and Liam noticed that Alyssa's bedding and closet had been turned upside down. They came to their senses immediately and ran toward the balcony.

They inhaled the cold air sharply.

There was a rope of more than ten long skirts knotted together. It was tied to the railing, dangling all the way to the ground floor.

"Jonah, Alyssa has gone mad! This is the fifth floor!" Liam exclaimed with a tremble in his voice. He had gone as white as a sheet from the fright.

"Alyssa, that mad woman! She's causing trouble for everyone with her rebellion!"

Jonah was swamped by terror. His heart was pounding, and the vein in his temple was popping.

"If any part of it were to have broken, she would have fallen to her death!"

"Stop talking, Jonah! My heart can't take it!" Silas had his hand on his heart. He felt faint.

Neil was also frightened out of his wits. His mind was in a muddle. " Oh, Ms. Alyssa... Please be alright! If not, I wouldn't be able to make up for my mistake even if I died!"

"Does Dad know about this?" Jonah inquired anxiously.

"Mr. Taylor is still troubled by Ms. Tatiana's matters. I didn't have the guts to add to his stress..."

"Keep this from him for the time being. Dad isn't in the best of health. We can't add more stress onto him."

Jonah clutched at his panic-stricken heart. "Don't alert the family. We'll gather our own manpower for the search!"

"It's storming outside. Ms. Alyssa doesn't have her phone or any money on her. How is she going to survive out there?"

Neil stomped his feet, feeling troubled. "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have moved from my station outside!"

"That's why she shouldn't have gone too far. We should be able to catch up with her if we go after her now!"

Jonah peered out the window. "Is Jasper still outside?"

"Mr. Beckett has left! It has been quite a while since he left!" Neil answered honestly.

Silas couldn't help but cuss, "Fuck it! Of all times for the bastard to leave! Lyse has definitely gone to look for him. Does this mean that they both didn't meet each other?"

Liam shuddered.

He was infinitely regretful at this moment.

He regretted being so demanding of Alyssa. The events were unfolding in a way that was exactly what he was worried about!

"If Lyse had gone after Jasper, she must have moved in the direction of Solana City. We'll be able to find her if we go along that route!"

Jonah ran to the door while instructing Silas in a deep voice, "Give Axel a call. Get him to come back to search for Lyse together!"

Silas nodded aggressively, "Oh, yes! Axel is very well-connected. He will have some ideas!"

In the night, blinding, bluish-purple lightning flashed through the skies. It was raining buckets.

Alyssa was drenched from head to toe. The biting wind was blowing against her frail body, making her teeth chatter and her body shiver.

Her phone had been confiscated, and she had no money at all. The sandals on her feet were lost somewhere in the course of her escape.

Her feet were covered in mud. They even bled from too much friction with the pebbles on the ground. She had never been in such a dire state before.

As much as she was going solo and facing these difficult hurdles, it was not going to deter her from escaping captivity.

She was not going to stop running toward the one she loved. All she wanted was to be with the man she loved. Why did it remain so challenging, even up to this day?

Alyssa knew that her family would soon discover that she had run away. According to her brothers' capabilities, they would carry out a blanket search along the way.

They would leave no rocks unturned and would search until they found her.

Thus, she wasn't walking along any main roads or busy places. She could only make a detour through some secluded paths to go to Solana City instead.

On the journey, darkness prevailed, and not a single soul was in sight. There wasn't even an open shop along the way!

Alyssa had been walking under the cold rain for an extended period. It made her light-headed. Her body felt cold and hot at the same time, and she felt weak.

All of a sudden, her blurry eyes focussed. She spotted a couple of lights lit up some distance away!

She was overjoyed. She mustered up her energy and ran in the rain toward the light source.

When she got nearer, she realized that the light was coming from a motor repair plant that was still open.

Alyssa was almost freezing to death. She didn't have much time to think. She simply pushed the door open and entered.

Through the doors, four men were playing a merry game of poker.
