Micah's povMy heart was beating in my ears as I put two and two together.Juliet had been the one to tell Maya about the bet. It had to be. She was the one with the motive.She hated Maya with passion and probably wanted to seek revenge. There was no bigger motive than that and I wondered why I hadn't seen this sooner.Daniel had a motive but there was no way he'd have found out without one of my guys blabbing their mouth and even at that, it was very unlikely.Why the hell would she do this?Was it because I had broken up with her?Of course it was!Juliet was petty like that and that smirk she'd given me earlier, she was definitely responsible for all of these. It had her handwriting written all over it."Hey, man," Ted walked towards me, clapping my hands as soon as he got to me."Hey, man." I said in a less enthusiastic tone."Saw what happened earlier." He said"Me too." Brad's voice came from behind."Not a good look, man, thought I told you to tell her.""I tried to." I said t

Maya's POV I sauntered back into the house, a feeling of unease settling in my stomach.Aunt Gomez's expression had carried a look that was very familiar to me. She most likely had bad news for me."So, what did you want to talk about, Aunt?"I asked as I slid onto one of the stools under the island."Well, Maya, it's about your dad." She turned around and paced. That was enough to upset my stomach."Is he okay?" I asked, agitated. The last time I had spoken to him, he'd said he was fine even though I felt like he wasn't and that was barely 36 hours ago."Yeah, he is fine, no need to worry but there's a problem."Her tone made the hair in the back of my neck stand at attention."What do you mean?" I asked, side eyeing my aunt. If my father was okay then she was about to tell me something I wasn't going to like, I could feel it.She slid onto the stool opposite me, clasped her hands together and looked me in the eye."I'm not sure how to tell you this but your father called while I

AUNT GOMEZ POV I paced about the kitchen, feeling bad about how I had spoken to Maya.She was just a kid and was forced to always run away. I would be upset too if I had to move out of a pack every other day.I felt bad for her. Poor kid just wanted stability but because of who she was, she could never get that. She was cursed to always hide or run.I cringed at the memory of what I had said to her. I had been so upset, I had said some mean things to her. I needed to apologize to her somehow. She didn't deserve to be spoken to like that.Maybe I could make it up to her somehow, she didn't deserve to be going through any of this.I could take her to the mall or something but after she'd cooled off. I'd give her an hour or so to process things.I decided to clean up while I wait, the kitchen was in need of scrubbing and I've always been a stress cleaner.After an hour of cleaning, I went upstairs to shower and freshen up.Once I was done, I made my way over to Maya's door and knocked.

Maya's POV I placed my ears against the door and heard three voices talking on the other side.One of the voices belonged to Juliet and the other to Whitney and then Tricia.Tricia seemed to be telling Juliet about what I had done like a toddler crying to her mother. I rolled my eyes at them."Shut up about your fruits and cut up some more," Juliet snapped at Tricia."We have more important things to focus on like the best punishment for Maya." Juliet said.I balled my hands into fists, annoyed by her disgusting audacity.How dare she abduct me and try to pass judgment on me?And all of this for Micah?The same guy that betrayed me?I wanted to break through these doors and break her in half but I was still too weak from the drugs she'd given me.My stomach growled and I glanced at the bowl of fruits.I shook my head. It could be poisoned and I couldn't afford to not be alert.I wouldn't die from hunger but I would definitely die from the right poison and I couldn't have that, not

Maya's POV The next day. I woke up to the sound of the door opening. Daniel walked in majestically. I hated his guts Seeing him alone made me angry and made my stomach curl. He had betrayed me so hard that I did not think I could trust anyone ever again in my life. He looked me in the eye and gave me a cheeky smile like we were still buddies, like he hadn’t conspired with my enemy and kidnapped me. bodies. I glared at him, still angry that he still had the audacity to look at me after all he had done. We weren’t friends any more. “What’s wrong Maya? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“ What do you want? Have you come to tell me how You are going to marry me against my will again?” I snapped, glaring daggers and hellfire at him.“On the contrary,’ he chuckled, “I brought you some food. Can’t stand the fact that you are hungry and haven’t had a proper meal in days.” He said, his expression one of pity.“ How generous of you” I said dryly. Even though I was starving in hell. M
