Chapter 131

Jace had been staring at the man for what felt like hours before the officers had forced him into the back of the van, yelling, panicking, insisting that he was not Aiden Hale. The officers had remained unmoved, professional, relentless, and in the end, it hadn’t mattered. They pulled out the identification card.Jace remembered the officer holding it up, the way Ben had squinted at it, voice shaking. “That is not me! I am Ben not Aiden!”The officer’s gaze was steady. “You already confirmed that that was your picture.”Victor’s eyes had widened in disbelief as he stared at the photo. Then, reluctantly, he had whispered, “Yes… that is me but that is not my name.”The handcuffs had clicked around Ben's wrists, cold steel biting into his skin, and the officers had forced him into the van. The engine roared to life, tires crunching against the gravel driveway as the van pulled away, carrying away the source of so much suffering.

Whoever planted it had been in his room.....Whoever planted it had been watching him..... Whoever planted it was inside his home.He felt sick just thinking about it.And the worst part?

They were additions he thought would make things easier, but instead they had become shadows he did not know if he could trust.Morgan especially.The way he had looked at Jace... the way he seemed to be trying too hard to make Jace trust him.Morgan and Mo were the only ones with access to his room. And that day when he confronted them and asked whether any of them were spying on him, they both lied. They said they were with Mila, but Mila told him they were not.That alone told Jac
