All Chapters of Not my spec: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Aiden’s POV After a long day at school, I headed straight home to freshen up and prepare to meet Lila at the coffee shop. I had successfully managed to keep her off both Luna Eden’s and Rayna’s radar, giving me the time I needed to watch over her and figure out what was really happening to her. The house was empty when I got back, no sign of my dad or Rayna. It was just a quiet, ordinary evening. I stayed in my room for a while, relishing my success and thinking about how smoothly everything had played out. When it was finally time to head to the coffee shop, I made my way downstairs, only to find Mathew waiting for me at the bottom of the steps. My footing wavered. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath, though loud enough for him to hear. He stayed silent, tracking my movements as I walked down. “Am I an unwanted guest now?” he asked, responding to my reaction. “No,” I replied plainly. “I just keep running into you at the worst possible times.” “Oh, rig

Aiden’s pov Holding her so close, I didn’t know how my own words would have me trapped in action. It brought back so many thoughts I had kept at the back of my mind, looking into those lost eyes I had to question my intentions within myself, do I say I am doing this for the claimed reason or there was something beyond that? The words might have sounded easy but it carried a very strong message. One I wasn’t sure if I was able to deny. She pulled out her hands from mine and took a few steps backward breaking whatever close moments we shared. “I’m….I’m sorry” I apologized finally gaining consciousness of myself. She didn’t say a word, just crossed her arms staring at the floor for a bit, maybe she didn’t want to meet my gaze. I don’t know what had made her flared up that way or whatever gave her those wrong impression but I wasn’t going to let her sleep on it, even though I had made it clear, I still felt like I had to be more convincing. “I came here to help and the only reaso

Mathew’s pov Ever since my last conversation with my dad, I had been consumed by anxiety over his next move. I knew firsthand what he was capable of to get his way and I couldn't bear to see that kind of damage happen again. Since that night, I had been trying hard to stay close to Aiden and Lila, doing everything I could to sabotage whatever bond was forming between them. Meanwhile, my brother was out trying to dig up more details on the Keepers. But no matter how hard we pushed, we kept hitting dead ends. I remembered seeing Aiden heading into Luna Eden’s office a few days back. I knew it meant trouble, but he had brushed me off completely. All my efforts to get through to him and figure out what was happening had failed. It seemed like he had blocked me out completely, It wasn't until I ran into Rayna that I learned Lila had left school during lecture hours. Despite everything unraveling around me, I was being kept in the dark. I had tried every trick to get back inside Aiden’

Lila’s pov I certainly wasn't expecting a letter from Aiden, but seeing his name across the page somehow filled me with an unexpected feeling of relief. I read through the first time but it didn’t make any sense to me, I frowned my face trying to understand his message so I read it carefully the second time. I read the first line: Your gift can help you pass through the party tonight. Follow the address. My gift. What gift? Suddenly, I remembered the small box marked with my name that I had found tucked inside my locker earlier today. I had almost left it behind, but luckily, I’d tossed it into my bag at the last second. So it had been Aiden all along. Without even stepping inside my house, I turned around on my porch, clutched my backpack and hurried back down the steps. I hailed a cab and gave the driver the address written at the bottom of the note. It wasn't an unfamiliar destination in fact, it was becoming a place I knew all too well. When the cab pulled up to Clog Stre

Aiden’s pov “Why on earth would you even think of doing something like that?” she asked, stepping over to stand directly in front of me. I as a bit ashamed of my actions but I forced my face to stay blank. Slowly, I pulled the pink card back out of my pocket and dropped it onto the silver tray. Luna Eden stared at the card for a moment before picking it up. As her eyes fell on the name written across the front, she let out a heavy sigh. “I thought we had already put her issue behind us,” she said, placing the card back down. “Why are you trying to hide her invitation?” I stayed quiet, unable to construct a quick excuse that wouldn't sound suspicious. “Are you two hiding something from me?” she pressed, her tone turning sharp. My head snapped up instantly. I couldn't let an accusation like that take root for even a second. “No,” I answered firmly. But knowing a single word wouldn't satisfy her, I added, “I just don't think it’s a good idea to invite her to something like this.
