Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 883

Alyssa knew Michael spent his days hauling bricks at a construction site.

One day, skipping class, she tracked him down. She was relentless, but all she got in return was Michael's scorn.

Despite the heartache, Alyssa couldn't let go. She would visit Michael whenever she got the chance.

Hounded by her persistence, Michael quit his job, but Alyssa found him again at his new workplace.

That evening, after clocking out, Michael was unwinding with his buddies at a local dive bar. Alyssa, thick-skinned, showed up uninvited. Michael let his crew tease her mercilessly. Still, she wouldn't leave. Finally, Michael stood up, dragged her into an alley, and nearly slammed her against the wall. "Alyssa, if you show up again, I'll go full psycho on you. You have no idea what I'm capable of. I'm not the good guy you think I am."

Pinned against the wall, Alyssa looked up at the rugged youth.

She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Michael's neck, and kissed him. It was her first kiss.

Michael seemed furious, trying to shake her off. However, Alyssa clung to him with surprising strength, refusing to let go.

It was because she had spotted a figure nearby - It was Julia.

All of Alyssa's focus shifted to Julia. The distance was far, but Alyssa seemed but see Julia's disbelieving eyes.

From Julia’s angle, it must have looked like an intense kiss.

Eventually, Julia turned and walked away.
