Reid didn't take his eyes off us, and I found myself still staring until Theo followed my gaze. Something about the way he looked hurt made my heart drop.I looked away immediately and forced a smile at Theo.“Today will be a very busy day for you. Don't let me distract you.” I spoke.“Doesn't mean…” Theo barely finished when his father came to whisk him away. I turned my head to look at Reid again, but he wasn't looking at me anymore. He was smiling at a blonde-haired bitch who wouldn't keep her hands to herself. She kept touching his arm every second.Maybe that was how he felt when Theo tried to help me with my hair earlier. I couldn't bear to stare any longer. I picked up a cup of wine from a passing waiter and proceeded to walk away from the vicinity.A lady bumped into me, and I cursed.“Watch where you're going!” I snapped.“Aren't you excited to see me?” The familiar voice made me stop in my tracks.

The hall went silent as everyone looked around, wondering who Valerie was. I stood there, still staring at Reid, forgetting that Valerie was my fake name.

I gave him a faint, quick smile, immediately averting my gaze, and making sure I didn't stare into the crowd. People's gazes were still on me; aside from that, I didn't want to meet Axel's eyes and remember what he’d said

The boy lay, tightly bound to the bed. He struggled as he finally became conscious. He fluttered his eyelashes as the fluorescent lights seemed too bright for his eyes. He stared around, pain kicking in from all over. His body ached like crazy, and he tried to wriggle his hands free from where they were tied to the bedposts.He struggled furiously, tears running down his cheeks as he fought to tear his hands free. He succeeded in ripping one free, while scanning the laboratory for any sign of the crazy scientist.He rushed, not wanting to be caught. He was tied to the bed with thick rope. After another minute of struggle, he finally got rid of it, and the moment his feet touched the floor, a little spark of hope ignited in him.He got off the bed, tried taking a step, but he stumbled.

He stepped on a broken piece, but he totally ign
