Eden High Series Chapter 160: JACE
We had years ahead of us before dad stepped down. Years in which to get her ready for that future role. I didn't want to rob either of us of that time.But if I don't do something, if I don't stand in front of her now, how will my enemies take me seriously? In a little less than a year I'm going to graduate and leave her behind.That's something that's been plaguing me even before all of this started. My dream is that she'd be able to graduate early and join me but that's not guaranteed.How can I even think of leaving her behind when others were trying to harm her? If I don't take care of this now, will someone else come out of the woodwork somewhere down the line and go after her again because they see me as a weakling who doesn't know how to protect his woman?I sighed in frustration as I took her hand in mine. I shouldn't be having these thoughts, shouldn't have to deal with anything this heavy at my age. But it seems I have no control over it.That other people are going

We piled into four separate SUVs after saying bye to the parents. I felt kinda bad because it was the end of our weekend and everyone would be heading to their homes after dinner and we hadn't done any of the things we'd had planned.We'd pretty much just hung around the pool yesterday under Jace's watchful eye of course and pigged out on junk food while watching movies last night.All the stuff I'd bought for our girls' night was back at my house, probably destroyed and Jace refused to let me go to the store to get more.He held my hand all the way there as he drove with me in the front passenger seat next to him. He wasn't talking but everyone else seemed to have already gotten over our little excitement and was back to their usual noisy selves.Once we arrived I opened my door to jump down from the truck and follow the others but he refused to release my hand. I looked at him questioningly but of course there was no explanation forthcoming. Typical Jace."Wait!" Is he mad

I purposely raised the hand with my engagement ring on it and pretended to study my nails as well. "You're very mistaken. Either way, my fiancé loves having me around and that's all that matters."Her eyes zoned in on my ring and she couldn't hide the hate and jealousy that was written plainly on her face for all to see.You'd think with all her talents she'd have learned by now how to keep that shit to herself."Don't get too comfortable, you won't last long, Jace is just slumming. I guess every man in his position has to get one of you out of his system at some time or another."Her friends snickered on cue. "I fail to see what our relationship has to do with you. Didn't he already sample your fare and found you lacking?"Was she for real? Did she really think no one knew what she was? She may be able to fool her lackeys but I'm quite certain that everyone else had already seen through her by now. It hadn't taken me that long after all."How dare you? Everyone knows that

I didn't have an answer for that one and he was starting to scare me so I looked down at my feet and kept my mouth shut hoping that whatever was going on with him would pass quickly."It was a knee jerk reaction Jace, I don't see why you're so upset." Zip it Sian, damn. I've heard the expression smoke coming from the nose, but this is the first time I'd seen it firsthand."You don't see why I'm upset? I told you not to acknowledge her in any way. That's fucking twice in one weekend. ENOUGH!" He slammed his fist into the wall next to my head and I almost peed myself.I knew Jace would never hurt me, but the way he was acting was scaring the hell out of me. It seemed like ever since the explosion he's been on pins and needles about something.I know he gets this way when he's afraid for me, but this seemed a bit extreme even for him. I thought it best however not to pull the tiger's tail by saying anything else."You have any idea how fucking pissed I am right now?" I closed my

Now there was Jared, an honorary member. Though his family had nothing to do with this town and wasn't part of the fabric, he was Jace's brother in law. I doubt even he understands what that shit means.My mind was going all over the place because of that look on Jace's face when we left the restaurant tonight. I had the feeling we were at the precipice of some monumental change.I feel kinda bad because I know that he's been doing his best to enjoy his last year of high school; the last vestiges of his youth. But I also know what lays ahead for him, what he's been holding at bay."The one we should be worrying about is Mandy. Is that girl really this stupid?" Alex shook his head."It's not that. I think she thinks she's too smart. I think she really believes she can win Jace back.""Like I said, stupid. He should never have been with her in the first place. I still don't get why he even went there.""Who knows, he's never said why and you know he would never discuss such a

It seems I came home just in the knick of time. I should be with my girl right now taking care of her after that bitch tried to humiliate her, but instead I have to put out this fire before it ignites.I know Jace, can read his face almost as well as my own and I know that something's about to break. I'm not the kind of person who can put off one thing to work on another, so I guess I'll have to deal with everything at once.The fact that I need a huge favor from him that involves his girl only makes this situation more fucked. If he goes into one of his moods he'd probably lock her away somewhere with him and I'd have to come up with something else in a hurry.As to Shane and Alex it wasn't hard to read them and know that something was up and the tracker I put under Shane's truck had led me here.Had I been here none of this would've happened, but it was too late for self-recriminations now. I had to do what I had to for my sister. There was no getting around that. But I hate

Jace was there three minutes later, still with that look on his face. Whatever he'd been doing in the last few hours since we left the restaurant hadn't done much to improve his mood."What's this favor you keep talking about? Are you in some kind of trouble?" Dammit, that tone. Don't do this shit Jace, at least give yourself one more year."I guess you can say that, but it's not what you think. I can't tell you all of it now, but I can tell you why I did it. I have to ask your forgiveness first though.""My forgiveness, for what?" I looked at him as he dropped onto the lounge chair next to mine."I've been keeping something from you for a long time. It wasn't my secret to tell and I'm only doing it now because things seem to be coming to a head.""This have anything to do with you having to go to that place each time you act up?""Yeah, I guess you can say that." I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to open up to him about my sister. I'd never looked at it as me

After leaving Track I went back upstairs to where Sian was sleeping. Instead of joining her, I went out on the balcony and sat for the next few hours, deep in thought; then I went and woke my dad.In the morning I was up and ready for school before she was. I laid out her medicine while she was in the shower and got her clothes ready after seeing about her breakfast.She came out of the shower a little while later still rubbing the towel over her hair. "Jace, why are you dressed like that? You have some sort of meeting or something?"She laughed before heading back into the bathroom to dry her hair. I smiled wanly behind her back before heading back downstairs.Dad was sitting at the kitchen island sipping his morning coffee. He looked up when I walked in and I saw the sadness in his eyes. "You sure about this son? I can take care of..."I held up my hand to stop him. "I told you last night, this is the way it has to be. Thank you for giving me the last few years I'm forever

They looked around the room at each other until Logan nodded his head. I guess that was the go ahead because Mancini took point again."What we're about to share with you doesn't leave this room. We've come together along with some other friends that you didn't get to meet this time, to form a kind of group if you will.""Each of us serves a purpose in this group. It's also top secret, which you should understand." He looked at Track and I moved to stand in front of him. "It's okay Jace, he knows.""I'm not working for the government, no disrespect." I looked at the SEALs. The men in the room started to smile. I wasn't sure what the fuck they were, but it wasn't hard to tell that they were something. What with the compound that was more secure that the Pentagon."That's not who we are. What we propose, if we all agree is that you boys become part of our elite group. We'll fill you in on all the pertinent details a little later once you get on board. If not we can stop this lit

I just held her and let her get it out, knowing that she'd be right as rain in no time. "Come on baby, let's get you dried and dressed." I turned off the water and lifted her to take her out of the shower."Jace, do you ever regret marrying me?" I want to answer this shit for the one hundredth time. What is it with women? The guys were all complaining about the same thing, except for Alex who was always smiling these days, the fuck."Sian, just like I told you yesterday and the day before that, even if I live to be a hundred, I won't ever regret the best decision I ever made.""But we're so young." I rolled my eyes and dried her feet that she couldn't hardly see anymore. "Does that mean that you regret it because you're younger than I am?"That one always stumps her but she still asks the same damn question over and over. So I knew what was coming next. "But it's not the same for men.""That's not sexist or anything. I should start worrying as often as you ask me that. Maybe
Eden High Series Chapter 232: TRACK
Not scared like a punk, more like amazed at the shit these fucks can get up to. So when he so casually mentioned something that he should have no knowledge of, I got the sense there was much more left unsaid. I'm sure a man of his caliber wasn't just wasting his time on some kid that he didn't even know."I sense a catch.""No catch, I just think you're wasted on those fucknuts is all. Anytime you're ready give me a ring." He'd rang off after that but there was no mistaking the smile in his voice. I'm pretty sure he knew that I was going to look into him.And that was my reason for being hesitant about taking Jace with me. I'd got a glimpse of where those SEALs live and I have the feeling that shit would only give Jace ideas. He was already making noise about building a place like the one on the island where we all could live. The kid's a damn hippie at heart.***JACE***"Track wants us to go to Georgia to meet his sister. We're going this weekend if you're not too sick

I didn't feel shit when I put pressure on his neck. Everything was happening so fast. Sian was screaming, finally giving into the fear and Track was trying to talk me down."I told you not to touch her you fuck. Did you forget?" I tightened my arm around his neck, adding just the right amount of pressure and barely restrained myself from doing more "I'm going to break your fucking neck.""Jace no, let him go, he's not worth it." I ignored Track and twisted my arm quick, snapping Stanley's neck. "Call the cops.""Fuck Jace! What the fuck did I say?""Call the cops.""No, let me think let me clean this up. Shane, Alex bar the door make sure no one gets by..." I hadn't even heard the others rush in behind me. But turned to see them now with horror in their eyes. "He's not dead Track his neck's just broken. Call the cops." I dropped Stanley on the floor just as the men who were supposed to be watching the school came through the door."What took you guys so long?""He didn

For now, it was fine. For the next nine months I knew she was going to keep me on my toes. We had an appointment with the best Obstetrician of course, who'd been vetted to within an inch of her life before I agreed.I was trying to make it so that she only had to worry about school and giving birth, other than that I was there to pick up the slack. I had the fridge in our suite stocked with all the things she's been asking for lately and hoping for smooth sailing.I was getting used to waking up with her in the morning to hold her hair while she threw up. Then her horny ass would need a fix on the bathroom floor after a quick nap.Other than that, there was no sign that her tiny ass was even pregnant. Of course she's decided that she can get away with shit now, because I can't fix her ass, but I have other ways of keeping her ass in line.That Monday as soon as we'd reached the school yard the whispers started. It wasn't long before we heard the whole story of Mandy being dropp

Mom came down with a tray of something in her hands instead of letting one of the servants do it."Hey mom, how come you're doing this yourself?""I don't know. We didn't go to the shelter this year because we've invited everyone, so I guess I'm feeling a little bit guilty.""Didn't you donate all the food this year? I'm sure they don't mind us missing one year mom, we'll go for Xmas, and make everyone that's here today come with us.""Sounds good son. By the way, I'm going to let you off the hook for telling your dad before you told me.""Shit, mom...""It's okay, he explained. By the way her parents know so you two don't have to keep putting it off any longer.""How?""Veronica is a mother son. We both figured something was going on that day in the hospital.""Well, that's all good and well but Sian has decided she's never telling her dad. She doesn't want him to know she's having sex."Mom thought that shit was hilarious but the rest of my crew, except for Track,

With Mandy behind bars, all I needed was to find Stanley to tie her into the attack on Sian. I need that to put her away for the rest of her life.I'd been leaving clues and making anonymous phone calls to the cops for a while. Once I'd contacted the men she'd been extorting and told them the truth about her age, some of them were more than happy to come forward. The only ones that tried to hold out were the married ones. Some of them I let slide, like Cassie's dad. But the others I put the squeeze on.That's why I'd needed her phone and the stuff that she left behind when she got kicked out of her house. My team had already confiscated it all. That, along with the computer stick Liz had mailed me, were locked away in my safe. Everything except the phone which had been mailed to the cops. I was still protecting Carter, but I had to do it for Cassie's sake.The ones that did have sex with her when she was underage, their names had been handed over to the cops. There were going

I drove down the driveway slowly with the lights off. There was one light on in the house and I wasn't surprised that it was in Sian's room. I got out of the truck and looked around at the dark night.It would be so easy... But I couldn't do anything here, not where my girl's family slept. Instead I walked around back. How did she get in anyway? And how do I get in without alerting her to the fact that I was here. I wasn't left wondering long.The alarm hadn't been set because of the workers going back and forth, which was an oversight. No one expects to be robbed in this neighborhood, but still. I knew it wasn't on since the night I'd come back here for her medicine, but hadn't thought much of it. Missed that one.I walked up the stairs, being as quiet as I could and stepped into Sian's bedroom door. Mandy was sitting on the bed, the new bed that replaced the one that had been burned in the explosion."What are you doing here?" It was obvious what she was doing. The door to Si
Eden High Series Chapter 226: MANDY
I'd been so excited I'd forgotten to score some drugs. I hadn't seen a male anywhere in that stupid place anyway, that might've been willing to help me, so it was most likely a bust. I sat in the car and formulated my next move in my head. How can I get close enough to do what I have to do? There was no way to get onto the Saunders' property without being noticed.Unless...No they've had the same domestic staff for a while, they probably know each one on sight. How can I get there? I don't have anything suitable, anything that would disguise me until I got close enough. Close enough to destroy her, that bitch.I drove around for a while still no closer to a solution. Thanksgiving was in two days. Another thought hit me. It was something I'd learned about Jace and his family even before we dated. When he still used to act like I didn't exist. When I used to read anything I could get my hands on about the ultra-wealthy family. Yes, that would be perfect. I'd forgotten all abou
