Semua Bab Devin Or Xavier : Bab 111 - Bab 120

DEVIN'S POVI left Xavier's house mad. I couldn't say a thing because they all believed I knew something about Emily's disappearance.I stood in front of my mirror and ran my hands through my hair. I was trying to calm myself down but it wasn't working. I stared at the pictures I hung in the mirror.I was trying to find out who was responsible for Emily's disappearance. On the mirror, I hung pictures of James. He was the prime suspect and the first person I suspected when Xavier called me. Xavier's picture was also there. I had a feeling that he knew something about it and I was going to try my best to find out the truth.Also by the edge of the mirror were Nigel, Gabby, and Eva; The queen bees. They could have a hand in Emily's disappearance because they hated her so much and would do anything to get her out of their way, especially after Nigel's video went viral. She felt humiliated to see videos of Emily beating her ass all over the net.I felt mad at myself for taking the 800$ fro

Xavier was being a jerk over the phone call till I told him I had Emily. He said he would be there immediately and ended the call. I checked my stomach again for the bruise but I already felt relieved.I couldn't make anything for dinner so I concluded that I was going to have the leftover pizza. I was damn tired and needed to rest. I turned to the bathroom to run a quick bath when I heard his voice."Open this damn door!" He yelled from the front door.I knew he was going to come immediately after I mentioned Emily. Sometimes I wondered why he abused her if he really cared about her. He made it to my place so quickly, I could have sworn he was right in front of my door before I called him.I picked up the T-shirt from the bed and wore it over my head. I walked back to the door and opened the door. He looked at me for a second and he walked inside. He didn't look as aggravated as his voice seemed. He wore a calm expression and his demeanor was strange.I offered him a seat and he sat

I had no idea why he was laughing at my statement. He knew what could happen to him and he found it funny."Really?"I swallowed hard and raised my face to him."You can't be stupid enough to call the cops," he began. "Listen, Devin, all I need you to do is to stay off Emily's case."I smell fish."Why? What the fuck are you planning to do to her?""You want to know?" He asked. "Well, I'll tell you what I'll do if you do not stay clear."I tried to stand up from the floor and my legs failed me. I held the couch for support and tried again."I'll kill Emily, bring her fucking body here and tell the cops you killed her."His threat sent a cold shiver down my spine. There was no way James could be heartless enough to kill his daughter who he tried to get back for so long. I searched his eyes for the joke but instead, I was faced with his cold emotionless stare. He looked dead serious and that scared me."I can get enough fake evidence to implicate you and send you to jail.""James you ca

XAVIER'S POVThere was no way Devin expected me to take the money from Emily's kidnap. I had no idea why he needed a hacker and he wasn't saying anything.The least he could tell me was the risky game he wanted to play and why he needed me but he still didn't say anything.I headed home angrily and pushed the door open. I met Mom and Dad in the sitting room. Mom turned her head in my direction the moment I opened the door."Xavier," she called. "Where have you been?""I just stepped out," I blatantly said, hoping she wouldn't ask any more question."You got me worried. You should have told us you were going to take a walk or something."I wanted to apologize for getting her worried but I remains calm. I also noticed her face looked brighter. Like she didn't have those dark circles beneath her eyes and her eyes wasn't puffy.She was smiling at Dad and it made me wonder what was happening. Mom had not smiled since Emily got kidnapped and all of a sudden she was smiling.Dad must have no

I walked out of the sitting room glad the police didn't want to interrogate me yet. They probably felt he was saying all that because he was accused and it made me feel a rush of relief.I opened the door to my bedroom and looked around. The mess I made on Emily's bed was still there and I didn't have the energy to clean up yet. I knew she wasn't going to yell at me for messing up her bed because she wasn't there and it hurt me to think of her absence.I turned my face away and walked to my bed. I sat on my bed and fell on my back. I looked at the ceiling, thinking of nothing but how to sneak out of the house.Devin had a plan he says we need to see and talk about. I wondered if he had other motives in mind when he sent his invitation but I was blank. I could ask him to tell me the plan over the phone but he would refuse and say it had to be a physical meeting."Fucking hell," I scoffed in an undertone and turned to the other side of the bed. It was only 8 pm and I could get some slee
