View MoreTriston escaped from the backdoor of the MA class and raced towards his house. The whole time he was sweating profusely, not because he was walking fast but rather because he was nervous about getting caught by his cousins. He breathed a sigh of relief when the familiar building of the Cliff Mansion came into view. Triston waited a few seconds outside the gate and looked around to see if he would spot the twins, as he wanted to avoid them at all costs. There was no sign of them; even the lights in their rooms were off, so maybe they were still at the Academy. Triston entered the gate and was heading toward his mansion when something struck him hard on the back of his head. He cried out in pain and turned around to see two masked men standing before him, holding a bat in their hands. Before Triston could react, one of the guys injected a needle into his neck, making him fall to the ground feeling dizzy. His vision became blurry, and he tried hard to stay awake but soon fell unconscio
For the next few days, the Cliff twins and his gang tried their best to look for Adam, but they couldn't get a single clue. It was as if he had vanished into thin air." Why is he not showing up?" Brad said in frustration." Maybe he's scared?" Jeff suggested." Not at all. It's because we are quiet," Fred remarked." What do you mean?"" He only shows up when that girl is in trouble. But we have not done anything to her for the past few months."" This is an insult to us. We must do something about this bastard," Jeff growled." What can we do when we don't know who he is," Brad asked."Weren't you following that girl?" Jeff asked Austin. " Did you find something?"" Nothing suspicious. Evelyn's busy with her swimming," Austin replied. " I don't think she has anything to do with Adam."" Shut the f**k up," Jeff burst out. " Are you really keeping an eye on her for our sake, or did you get smitten by her?"Austin looked flustered. " W-What are you saying? I-It's not like that."" He s
The Cliff twins hired several people to watch Evelyn and Triston closely, and nothing was out of place. The only odd thing they felt in Triston's schedule was he was accompanying the orphan girl to her Martial Arts class. This was a major cause for concern for the twins. If Triston learned how to fight his uncle and his family, how could they force him to hand over the Cliff fortune?" Should we tell Dad about it?" Jeff asked his twin, Fred. " No," Fred replied instantly. " Dad is already angry with us because of our recent failures. If we deal with this matter on our own, we can earn some brownie points."" So what do you reckon we do?"" Let's teach him a lesson," Fred said, and Jeff followed him out of his room. It was around 7 P.M., and they went straight to Triston's room. Triston was talking to someone on the phone when he suddenly felt a kick on his back. His phone flew out of his hands, and he fell to the ground with a thud. " Do you think you can fight us?" Fred screamed,
The Cliff twins were beyond pissed. They and their friends immediately left the University and went to their usual hangout to let off steam." That guy went too far," Jeff snarled, kicking a chair angrily." We have never been humiliated like this," Fred seethed, equally angry." I swear I will kill that guy," Jeff said, looking deadly." Calm down, guys," Austin tried to say but was stopped by Brad." How the f**k do we calm down? Didn't you see what he did?"" None of the students in the entire University even dared to look at us in the eye, but today they were openly mocking us," Fred spat." We have to do something. We can't sit here and just complain," Jeff said with determination." But what can we do? We don't even know who he is," Jake commented." We must find out somehow," Fred said, taking out his phone and dialing a number. He asked the other person to get hold of the CCTV footage of the gym in the Cliff Resort where Adam had drugged them.After a few minutes, Fred got a c
Evelyn was back home from her Martial Arts class when she saw Adam standing in front of her room window. " What are you doing here?" Evelyn asked, rushing towards the window and opening it." I am sorry," Adam said, looking hurt." Excuse me? Why are you apologizing to me?"" I couldn't protect you when the boys attacked you at the pool." " That's not a big deal. I appreciate you saving me last time, but I can take care of myself. I don't need your protection all the time."" But they are targetting you, and I can't let anything happen to you." Adam looked very pained." You don't have to..."" I have already taken care of them."" What do you mean?" Evelyn asked. " What did you do?"" They had to bear the consequences for their actions. I had warned them not to harm you."" What did you do, Adam?"" You will know tomorrow."" Did you harm them?" Evelyn asked in a panic." Not physically," Adam replied casually." What's done was done. Why did you have to interfere again?"" I had
Evelyn got a firm warning from the Principal, whereas the Cliff twins and the bullies sat there as if they owned the office without an ounce of regret. But luckily for Evelyn, she did not receive any severe punishment because the Principal would then have to punish the Cliff twins too.Triston was waiting for Evelyn outside the Principals office, looking very disturbed." A-Are you alright?" he immediately asked Evelyn checking her out." I am perfectly fine. Those creeps can't even land a proper punch. " Evelyn chuckled." This is not over yet," Fred spat from behind, annoyed by Evelyn's insult." Show me what you got," Evelyn sneered." B**ch!!! How dare you..."Fred moved forward to attack Evelyn but was held back by his twin Jeff." Stop it, Fred!! We are in front of the Principal's office. Let's go now." Jeff and his friends dragged Fred and left." Jerks!!" Evelyn remarked and turned to face Triston, who was shaking and sweating profusely.Evelyn placed a hand on Triston's shoul
As per the plan, the Cliff twins met Triston in his room and ordered him to meet them at the college storeroom the next day.Triston recalled the last incident wherein he had been beaten by the twins and his friends in the basement storeroom and asked, " W-Why do you want to meet there?"" Why else? We are in a mood for some fun, " Fred smirked. Triston was confused because if they wanted to hit him, they could have done it right here at his home. Why were they calling him to the college storeroom?"Why are you quiet?" Jeff spat, kicking Triston's chair. " Are you thinking of hiding behind that orphan girl tomorrow?"" I-I..."" If he doesn't come..." Fred said. " ... then should we target that girl like last time?"" Do you mean kidnapping her again?" Jeff asked Fred."No...No... I will come. Don't hurt E-Evelyn," Triston pleaded. He was trembling, trying to control his emotions." You better," the twins threatened and left his room.The next day at college, Triston told Evelyn that
For the next few days, Evelyn received notes from Adam on a few occasions. There was no defined pattern for the frequency of the letters. Sometimes, there were letters every other day and sometimes nothing for a week. Additionally, the contents of all of them were almost identical, telling her how much he loved her and would always protect her.Another thing that seems to have changed is the bullying. The bullies didn't bother Evelyn much these days. Whenever they saw Evelyn, they just turned around and left as if they had seen a ghost. As Evelyn observed their behavior, she wondered why they acted so strangely. Also, they were often seen with cuts and bruises on their faces.Evelyn always shared everything with Ava, who had grown increasingly concerned for her after the kidnapping incident." Did you find anything about Adam?" Ava asked. " Do you know who he is?"" Nothing yet," Evelyn replied." Do you still get the letters?"" Yes."" Anything new?"" No, the same."" What about th
The following day, Evelyn woke up dreaming about a guy in a black hoodie. She still felt a heaviness in her head because of the drugs.Ava, who had been worried sick about Evelyn, had been sleeping beside her in her room to ensure she was okay. She woke up as soon as she heard Evelyn and gently asked, " Are you alright? "" W-What happened?" Evelyn asked, confused." My head seems like it's bursting."" Have some water." Ava helped Evelyn and waited for her to calm down. " Don't you remember what happened yesterday?""Y-Yesterday?" Evelyn recalled the previous day's events and suddenly jolted up. " The d-drugs...kidnapping."" Can you tell me what happened?" Ava asked, concerned.Evelyn recounted everything that happened, from the time her friend gave her drugs to the kidnapping and being rescued by a hooded man. " Once I was in the car, I lost consciousness, so I don't know what happened after that."" He dropped you home."" Huh??"" The hooded man. He brought you home," Ava clarifie
