Round one goes to me! I walked away from the window feeling a little appeased but nowhere near satisfied. This was just the beginning. Her hell has yet to start.I now know for a fact that Stanley was the one who blew up her room, but I still don't know how he and Mandy are connected, or even if they are. All I have is a hunch and I never ignore those.I have my men looking for him all the same and have revamped her team again. She'd had such a fit last time knowing they were there I'd made it so they stayed out of sight. But now I'm rethinking that decision as well.It's because of her spoilt ass that I can't take care of her properly, the way I want to. Well now she's just gonna have to deal with me because I'm not giving into her any more on this shit.I have no doubt that the viper who just left here will strike again, but next time I'm gonna make sure she has no one to strike at but me. And then, once I've rubbed everything that is Sian in her face, I'm going to destroy he
The bond we share is too real and means too much to just throw it away like that. I have the money and the resources to make this happen, so I'm gonna do all I can to make sure that things turn out right for all of us. I don't like the alternative.I can't see it. Can't see each of us going our separate ways in a year or two, growing apart. Becoming adults that have no idea what's going on in each other's lives. I won't let that happen.Even before I'd met Sian and started seeing shit partially through her eyes, I'd had this idea. But seeing her and how happy she is with her crew, watching the way she protects Cassie who needs it most had solidified things for me. I don't want her to lose any of them. Don't what the people she loves to disappear from her life. So I'm going to keep us all together as long as I can. I'll kick the first one's ass that tries giving me shit. I'll bet my family's fortune that one's gonna be Sian. She loves giving me shit. I'm sure half the time s
Hah, he has no idea. I have more ways than one of bringing her down without getting my hands dirty. Now I know him and I are going to be in a standoff. He's gonna try to protect me and I'm definitely going to protect him.His spoilt hardheaded ass always thinks he has to protect everyone, but when it comes time for him to be protected he doesn't follow the rules. Too bad we're so alike. Neither one of us is going to back down. I just have to make sure my game is tighter than his. The little device I keep in my pocket vibrated and I took it out to have a look. Shit!"Jace, why are you calling Valerie?" He didn't even take the phone from his ear, which meant he knew that I knew. "How do you know I'm calling Valerie?" Now he turned and looked at me with a knowing look on his face."Because I have a trace on her phone." Asshole just smirked at me. "You knew.""I have one on Sian's so I took a guess." He hung up after leaving some cryptic ass message on her phone."What d
I guess it's because I'd never been around Track that much that I missed it. But now with him here, it's like the others had fallen into some well-learned routine.Except for my brother. At least he looked a little more confused than the others, though not as much as me. It's like they all knew something. But what?It's only been a few hours since that whole thing this morning, but when I look at them now, I don't see the same guys from a few days ago. Or even yesterday. What could've happened in that short window of time to make them change like this?They were starting to make me nervous. Like something big was going to happen any minute now. They seem so serious, almost unapproachable. And not only me, but everyone else seems to have noticed. It was obvious in the wide berth the rest of the student body was making around them. Like they expected them to snap, or it was more like some weird form of respect. Though I always got the feeling that Jace was very well respected
He'd stopped eating and turned to look at me. The others were busy having their own conversations and the rest of the room was as noisy as to be expected. But this was not the place or time for this conversation.I didn't know that I was crying until his fingers wiped the tears away. "No, it's nothing." I grabbed his arm when he started to get up from his chair, keeping him in place. Who knows what craziness he was about to do."Then why the fuck are you crying?" At least he'd leaned in so no one else could hear. I looked at him and felt my heart squeeze. How can I tell him that he was breaking my heart? That seeing this change in him was like watching something die?I knew that the boy I met was gone. Not that I loved him any less, no. My pain was for the fact that the happy go lucky goof was no more. That the boy with the infectious grin had vanished right before my eyes.Even with his sometimes overbearing, over protective manner, he was still a teenager. This was no teen si
There was one little maid in particular who looked like a cornered rat whenever she saw me coming. I could already imagine her screams. Better, I feel better. Maybe I'll pretend she's that Sian bitch while I flay the flesh from her back.I didn't run into any one of them but I did notice my stepfather's light was on in his study. I eased the door open after a light knock and he looked up. He turned from his computer screen and removed his glasses."What are you doing home so early angel? Are you not feeling well? I knew you shouldn't have gone back to school so soon." Just what I needed. A sympathetic male. This was going to be even better than whipping the skin off the back of some cowering simpleton.I walked into the room with a sulky pout on my face. It never ceases to amaze me how no matter what's going on, I can always use my sexuality to get ahead. My juices were already flowing and I'd barely stepped into the room.I put a little extra swish in my step. This might be my
"So, when is this trip and what is it that Track needs me to do?" We were in the backseat of the chauffeur driven car on our way home from school and once again he shook his head at me to wait. Secretive much?I'd endured the last few hours of school even though I was vibrating in my seat, only because I knew that once I got him alone I can pump him for information and get to the bottom of the craziness that was today.I still had no clue as to what he'd done to Mandy, though it's all anyone could talk about after lunch. Apparently a few students had seen her being escorted out the door.Then there was some story about her locker being cleared out by said men, burly I think was the description given. And this one still wasn't talking. I tried bringing it up again after we said goodbye to the others and were walking to the car, but all he did was lift my fingers to his lips and kissed them.We pulled into his driveway minutes later with my brother not far behind us because we we
Spoilt ass! She's so cute. I finished what I was doing on the phone and dismissed her staff with a turn of my head. Dad was right, they're very well trained. Hopefully they're as well trained in other areas as well.If I told that pain in the ass that I was putting guards on her I'd never hear the end of her shit. This way, she has no choice. I'm sure it'll only take her a few days to get used to being waited on hand and foot.Me, I'm like my dad. I got tired of that shit when I was about eleven. I hate having that many people around. But for her, I'll endure that shit for as long as I need to. And she's going to pipe her little ass down and go with the flow. Why does she even bother?I walked into the bathroom where she had the shower going and heard her muttering to herself. I'm pretty sure I made out my name and a few not so harmless threats. Such a violent little thing.I smiled for no reason other than that she makes me happy. I stripped on my way to the steam filled marbl
