LOGINMATTYou know that feeling when it seems like someone is constantly staring at you, and you have to always look back, to be certain there wasn't any creep like that? It followed me throughout the way here. Even when we got to the location. The hair on the back of my neck rose. I rubbed the back of my neck, looking around at the empty car park. “Are you okay?” Henry asked, noticing my distraction. Nodding at him, I forced a smile and tried to act like I was good. I didn't see any reason to tell him what I was feeling. He's not Jay. He might brush it off as nothing. Jay wouldn't. He would walk around the property to ensure there was no threat. I followed them inside the new site. It was a building that Dad was overseeing. In case I failed to mention, Dad's company deals with a lot of things, engineering, plumbing, advertising, and even modelling. I discovered this some weeks ago when I ran into a male model. The tour I got on the first day I started working didn't cover all the floo
Debra and I spoke until Dad returned to my office. We tried to narrow it down to the person who might have given Scott Matt's phone number, but we weren't successful. We couldn't think of anyone in our small circle who would be in contact with that bastard. It all boiled down to one way he could have gotten it. He must have taken Matt's contact from someone's phone or had someone track Matt down. The latter was plausible. If he had actually tracked Matt down, he wouldn't be asking where he was. He would have shown up instead of going back and forth, texting him. He must have taken the number from Richard's phone. Richard was the only one I knew who could be so careless with his phone. And to think he doesn't even lock that thing. He must have left it lying around in a bar and Scott happened to pick it up. Which would mean he had been tailing them.“You have to be careful, too. He might come for you if things go awry." “Don't worry about me. All I need is for you to promise to keep
Dad and I shared a look, eyes wide as the realisation sank in. “His ex-boyfriend?” Dad asked, confusion marring his features. He looked at the phone in my hand and back at me before asking, “Why? Didn't they part on good terms? Why will Scott try to harm him?”Unlike Matt and me, who already knew what transpired between them, Dad still thinks they parted as friends, as we lied to him about.I shook my head and dropped the phone on the desk without sending a message to him. I joined my fingers and smiled. “No, they didn't. Scott tried to…” I inhaled, fists clenching in anger when I remembered what that motherfucker did. Or almost tried to do.Even though I was grateful to him, for what he did brought Matt and me together, I couldn't forget how scared my baby had looked that night when I went to get him. How broken he had sounded when he told me the story.“What are you saying?” Dad drew close to me, his brows furrowed. “What do you mean they didn't? Matt said —”“He lied to you.” Exhal
JAYI stared at his phone almost all morning. I wouldn't lie and say I did something productive. I didn't. I was waiting for a text from the person who contacted Matt. Dad asked me to keep my attention on the phone and wait for a message, which I was doing, although it seemed like I was taking things a little too seriously by ignoring the piles on my table. When his phone dinged with a notification, I rushed to pick it up, thinking it was from the person with that threatening message, but it wasn't. It was just a spam email. Hissing under my breath, I stared into space. I had believed we were free from the past and wouldn't have to worry about it repeating anymore. Matt has finally moved on. That dullness in his eyes had disappeared. We couldn't afford to have that fool spoil everything for us. Which is why I need to solve this with Dad before it escalates. Dad said I shouldn't send a message to him and wait for him to contact Matt first, something I might disobey if I don't get a
I felt self-conscious the second I stepped into the office. All eyes turned to look at me, and it felt like I was drowning in their stares. They weren't even being discreet about it. Gulping and avoiding their stares and whispers, I walked over to my desk, cheeks red. I knew what they were talking about. They were probably discussing the announcement last night. Plopping down on my desk, I switched on my desktop, my hands sweaty as I reached for the files I hadn't completed editing yesterday before I left. “Good morning.” I almost jumped at the greeting. I looked up, and the surprised expression on my face turned into a full-blown smile when I saw who it was. Henry grinned. “Did I startle you?”“Yeah. I didn't see you there.” I dropped the file. “So, what's up?” He drew a chair towards me. “You mean with them?” He discreetly gestured to the omegas, who were still whispering, giggling as they watched us. I nodded, and he smiled. “They're discussing your engagement with Jay. You k
Dad and Jay stared at me, arms folded. We had been sitting on the dining chair for almost 30 minutes after I showed them the text I got yesterday. None of them spoke, and the silence was getting to me, slowly. I didn't like how nervous their stares made me feel. Gulping, I tucked some strands of hair behind my right ear. “So… That's it,” I said at last, breaking the silence between us. One of us needed to do that, I figured I had to, if I wanted the conversation to either start or end. “Why didn't you tell us last night?” Jay asked. Finally! I'd even thought they had turned to statues. This wasn't the reaction I expected from them. I thought they would be all over me in concern, asking if I was okay, if the person tried anything funny with me. “I didn't want to spoil the mood last night. Besides…” I grabbed my phone off the table and slid it into my pocket. “Nothing happened last night, right? It might be a prank text for all we know.” “A prank text?!” Dad growled, eyes narrowed
