บททั้งหมดของ When Bad Boys Fall : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

[|]Later that day, I was sitting in my room when I remembered the men who had been following me at the supermarket. I sat up from the bed, thinking of who they were and why they were following me. "I have to tell the guys about this," I said, getting out of bed. I rushed to the door and opened it, then ran out of my room to the room next to mine. I knocked on it and it was opened by Jared who eyed me from head to toe."What's wrong? You look scared," he said and I pushed him aside.I walked into the room and stopped at the sight of Lucas sitting on a couch, using his laptop. He saw me and rose to his feet in haste."Jackie?" I ignored him and sat on Jared's bed. I wrapped my arms around my body as I thought back to their scary faces."What is it? Is the baby okay?" Lucas asked, approaching me. He sat beside me and tried to touch me but stopped himself."I'm fine and the baby is fine. I came here to tell you two about something. Earlier on, before you came to Redside. I had gone to

[|]Lucas' POVThe sound of the voice of my sister angered me. Even though I had not expected her to call me, it angered me at the audacity she had after everything she has put me through. I lost the love and trust Jackie had for me because of her and yet she had the mind to call me? It was unbelievable to me."Is that Ruth?" Jackie whispered.I nodded in response and waited to hear Ruth's response."L-Lucas?" Ruth said in a low voice. "Where are you?""Why do you want to know? In fact, shouldn't you already know where I am?" I asked, feeling more pissed off at the fact that she still pretended."What are you talking a-about?" She stuttered, breathing heavily."Look, I don't have the time to pretend with you so come off it," I growled out and she gasped."Lucas, please. Listen to me. You have to come to get me. I'm close to the border of Redside... I-I was kidnapped. Please, I'm being chased after by some people and I had to borrow this phone to call you. Lucas, you gotta help me. I'm

[|]Maddy's POV"Maddy, come see this," one of the cheerleaders said as she ran up to me while I did some yoga poses by the bleachers.I repositioned myself on the floor and raised my head to look at her. She had her phone between her hands as she smiled down at it. She fell to her knees beside me and tapped her phone before handing it to me.I saw it was a paused video of two students. When I played the video with a tap on the screen, my eyes widened. It was Lucas and Jackie, standing so close to one another. I couldn't hear what they were saying since it looked like she had taken the video from across them. After some seconds, I saw him hand over a white bag to her. I looked closer only for me to grip the phone tight when I saw it was a brand new phone. Lucas was smiling down at her as she analyzed the phone. Lucas has never given me any gift before yet he dared to give an expensive phone to this bitch."They look so cute together," Natalia said and giggled.I stopped the video and

[|]Maddy's POVI walked into my room with my phone on my bank application, prepared to send the pay to Ashton as his friends when I realized something. I stopped in the middle of my room and craned my head to the aside in thought."Hold on," I said. "I am being stupid right now. I can't send my cousin such an amount of money from my account. The last time my father did such after one of his guys killed a business opponent, the police suspected the bank transaction and its timeline."I clicked my tongue against the roof of my mouth and started to tap the back of my phone against my palm. I strolled toward the window in my room and stared outside, still thinking of what to do.I raised my phone to my face and unlocked it. I scrolled through my bank app and saw Ruth Kingston's account number on the list of my old transactions. An idea crossed my mind and I smirked."That's right. Ruth is the perfect person for this. That way, if the police takes this as a suspect, they'd believe she was

[|]Lucas' POVI watched as Jackie slept soundly on the bed. She had cried herself to sleep and still had tears on her cheeks. Her skin had gone pale and cold from all the exhaustion. It made my heart break as she has gone through a lot all her life. It made me want to do everything possible to erase such memories in exchange for happy ones.I rose from the bed and covered her body up. I kissed her forehead and tucked some of her hair away from her face before leaving the room to the next one which was Jared's. I opened the door and Ruth sat up from the bed with a hiss.She was now clean and wearing some of Jackie's clothes. Her skin still had bruises on them and her hair was now cut short to her neck. I walked closer and stopped in front of her. I stared in silence as guilt ate inside of me. I was a bad brother. I've protected Ruth ever since she was raped yet I didn't believe her one bit all because of one woman. I felt ashamed of myself for not trusting her."Lucas, I—"I wrapped
