Chapter 61

“Enough!”

Axel’s exasperated voice echoed through the relentless downpour, a blend of frustration and confusion melding with the gentle beat of the raindrops. Feeling the need to breathe, Axel hastily freed himself from the confining embrace of his hoodie, the drenched fabric clinging to his skin like a second layer. “You?!” They chorused in disbelief, the shared surprise cutting through the pouring rain.

Jasmine, her voice barely audible over the rain, whispered a shocked inquiry, “You’re the stalker?” Axel, irritated by the accusation, responded with a growl, rising to his full height.

His imposing figure, standing at a lofty six–foot–five, completely towered above Jasmine’s diminutive five–foot–six frame, prompting her to instinctively retreat a step.

The air thickened with tension as Jasmine asked, her voice laced with a blend of incredulity and fear: “Why were you following me?”

Axel, devoid of his glasses, allowed her a clear view of his beautiful eyes.

However, the realization that someone with such gentle features could potentially be a stalker left Jasmine genuinely frightened.

Determined to seize control of the situation, Jasmine tightened her grip on the umbrella, eyeing Axel suspiciously.

Axel, holding the umbrella lightly to avoid being beaten further and to only to avoid conflict found himself unprepared for the force Jasmine exerted. As he released the umbrella, she seized it with all her might, anticipating a triumphant yank. The sudden resistance sent her toppling backward, her footing lost to the sl*ppery dance on the wet ground and she landed unceremoniously on the ground with her butt. She groaned out in pain from the impact.
