CHAPTER 21

BRANDON'S POV “Sir". Ava barged into my office. “I have it on good authority that Mr Adrian is missing". She said. I looked up slowly from my laptop. “What authority?" “His wife, sir. She said she hadn't heard from him in three days". I rolled my eyes. “Sometimes she may not hear from him in a month. How is this good authority?" “As at three days ago, he told her he'll be spending the next five days with her, for a function her father organized. He did not show up. The cabin where he'd been lodged in Australia is empty. The caretakers have no idea when he left". The second information wasn't so strange, but the first was. Adrian never went back on his word unless there was a very solid reason, and it always involved bad things. “When did you get this information?" I asked, already reaching for my phone to check on the others. “Just now sir". She replied. “I've informed the head of security, and he said he will take necessary action". “All right

CHAPTER 22

JAMESON'S POV “Adrian Jerome is missing". I read out loud. “What?" Charlotte walked up to me and snatched the phone out of my hand, reading the message herself. “Oh God". She whispered. “What's happening?" “With what?" Jenn asked. She had been rummaging through cupboards. “Adrian Jerome is missing." Charlotte breathed. “Who the fuck is that?" She asked. “Another member of the Star Trust board". I replied. Jenn cocked her head. “What? In less than two weeks?" “Someone is after them" Charlotte whispered. “That should explain the letters?" Jenn half asked. I snapped my fingers. “Yes, you're right. Perhaps the killer had been threatening him". I began to pace, scenarios and possibilities forming in my head. “But Brandon thinks I've been sending the letters". Charlotte said. The room halted. “Fuck". I muttered. “So that means he thinks you're responsible for Nathaniel's death and Adrian's disappearance". Charlotte looked u

CHAPTER 23

“Guys, I think that black car is following us" I said slowly, watching the back. The car was tinted so dark I could not see even a glimpse of the driver or passengers, if any. But it was gaining speed gradually. “Jameson?" I said, my voice a little higher. “Relax. They're on our side". Jameson said calmly. Oh. So there were passengers in the car. I relaxed in my seat. I trusted Jameson, to an extent. He would not want to sacrifice himself with us. “Do you really think Brandon will come for us?" Charlotte asked, wrapping her hands around her body. “It is certainly a possibility". Jameson replied, glancing at her. “The fact that Tatiana came to you a few days ago? He's got his eyes on you. And he believes you to be sending some letters. Adrian's disappearance will look like your work. From the look of things, it won't be long before things begin to add up". “What things?" I asked. He met my eyes through the rear mirror. “Our interferences with Star T

CHAPTER 24

CHARLOTTE'S POV “What?" He said, looking confused. “I heard you and Jenn. I listened to the entire thing". I nodded at the realization on his face. “You don't get to decide if it's too late". “But isn't it?" He asked hopelessly. “Guys, I'm hungry". Jenn shouted. Our heads turned simultaneously to the sound of her voice.“I'm hungry too". I said, walking past him out of the room. “This isn't over". I called back to him.** “You know, Lettie". Jenn said around a mouthful of food. “I thank God everyday that I have a friend that really is a such terrific cook". I rolled my eyes, wondering why she was being a chatterbox all of a sudden. “Jameson did most of the cooking, not me". She turned to him. “Oh well. That means I have-wait what?" She turned back to me. “Jameson?" “He cooks better than I do" I said somewhat proudly. “And why don't I know this?" Her look turned accusing. I shrugged. “I don't know, probably because whenever I talk abo

CHAPTER 25

JAMESON'S POV “Oh, hi mom". I said, a little too loudly. “Finally accepts what?" She repeated, her eyes narrowed. I felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of my face. “Actually..." I trailed off. “I'm the one accepting something, right?" She asked. She didn't hear that part? I grabbed the opportunity. “Well, no. Thing is-" my dad cleared his throat, cutting me off. I looked at him and he raised his brows. I sighed, giving in. He was right. I had to get it over with. “I need to tell you something". I said to her. She stared at me for a few seconds. “Well, get on with it". She said. I tried to start, but I couldn't. She looked like she was bracing herself. “Let's sit". I said, taking her hand. She shook me off. “I'm all right here". She said stiffly. “Darling". Dad said quietly. She did not reply. She kept her eyes on me. I sighed, walking to a couch. I lowered myself onto it slowly, aware that my mom was watching my every movement. I

CHAPTER 26

CHARLOTTE'S POV “PG 27 here, please" Jenn said loudly, forcing us to separate. “Have mercy on the single ladies". She snarked. “You're 27". Jameson pointed out. She glared at him. “Oh, sorry. I forgot y'all are weird about stuff like that". He muttered. “I'll go watch a movie or something". She stood. “Please entertain her well. You were all she could talk about before she got here". She said as she walked out of the room. “Jenn!". I scolded. “Love you too". She yelled back. “Soon they'll be making babies or something". She muttered. “What's with her?" Jameson asked me, his expression a mix of confusion and amusement. “She's squeamish". I replied. She was, technically. “I see". He replied. He sat. “So", he smiled wickedly. “Were you really talking about me?" I blushed. “She was exaggerating". “Was she?" He asked his smile growing wider. “She was". I looked away from his eyes. He was quiet for too long, and I looked back at h

CHAPTER 27

TATIANA'S POV The tub of ice cream dropped on the ground before I got to my car, but I ignored it. I felt the unknown woman's gaze like spiders on my skin as I drove away, well over the speed limit. I had no idea why I felt so creeped out by her, I just knew I did. She felt very dangerous, her smile was like something out of a horror movie. I wouldn't have been surprised, if she had pulled out a knife to stab me there, with that smile still on her face. My phone rang, jarring me, and the car swerved slightly as I fumbled with the steering. When the car righted I picked up the phone, peering through the rear view mirror at the car behind me blaring its horn. I picked the call. “Hello". “Pretty girl, where are you?" The voice instantly set me at ease, all the worries about the creepy woman dissolved. “Almost home". I said, smiling. “All right then, I'm waiting". He ended the call. A few minutes later I turned into the driveway. One thing I liked about the

CHAPTER 28

BRANDON'S POV Her scream jolted me, but I still stood rooted as she ran to the bathroom. Part of her neck and her palm was red and she hissed as the water touched her. I remembered her father, and finally moved. I took her palm tenderly and led her away from the water. “I'm sorry". I said remorsefully. She sniffed, wincing in a way that was definitely not entirely true. I sat her on the bed and absent mindedly looked for balm. I found it and applied it on her scalded skin. “I'm sorry". I said again. She whimpered. “I'm sorry I couldn't get the address from my dad. You knew he would not have told me any way". She whimpered again. I blinked blankly at her. “That's why you're mad, isn't it?" “Not everything is about you". I muttered, still rubbing the injury. She pulled her hand away. “You'll rub the skin off". She examined it. “Not like it wouldn't scar anyway." She looked up at me. “Why are you mad then? Was it the message you got?" “Adrian is-" I couldn't fin

CHAPTER 29

CHARLOTTE'S POV The rattling on the window was continous, and Jenn and I huddled in a corner in the kitchen. I wasn't even sure where the sound was coming from, the reverberation made I seem like it came from all the windows and no window at once. “So tonight is the night I die". Jenn whispered. I didn't reply. “I haven't even bought a Siamese cat. Or skateboarded in my underwear. Or worked out consistently for three months. I haven't found love. You don't even know why I hate love". She hated love? “Keep quiet, Jenn". “I'm not going to be silenced now if I'm going to die." She replied. I said nothing. Her next word died out when I pinched her arm, hard and long. She gasped in pain and ripped my hand away. “What the fuck?" She whisper yelled. “Keep quiet, Jenn". I said again. She whimpered and cradled her arm. I listened for the noise again and there was nothing. I imagined the intruder was feeling around the house for an easy way to break in. I won

CHAPTER 30

TATIANA'S POV Brandon still hadn't showed up by the next morning, and I did not mind. It gave me the opportunity to slip out of the house unnoticed, even by Emile. Emile made me nervous, Brandon's interest in her was truly unsettling. And I worried that I'd loose him to her, the same way Charlotte had lost him to me. It was fitting, if I wanted to be honest, that someone took him from me too, the same way I'd taken him from someone else. But I did not believe in Karma. I believed in seeing what I wanted and going for it. And that's exactly what I did with Brandon. I wasn't losing him to a help. I was already obsessed with going out, it was obvious I did not have to do it every day, but I did it anyway. As i turned into the drive way of the small house I'd come to love so much I marvelled, as I always did, at how it could be so small and hold so many pleasures at the same time. I'd never really thought about it, but I realised that it was true when they said that home was about th
