Scars

Chapter 27

The next day, we all got back to work.

We have yet to decide a way to go around the problem that we have in the name of James. But we have decided that it is for the best that we try to find as much as we can about him.

Chris, along with Willow and Blake is hurdled in one corner of his Tech Room as they hack into his accounts and records, anything that they can get into to get every move of his life.

Whereas Jayden, Articus help me scan through the prints of what we have found about him, marking all his illegal transactions or actions.

And, be it luckily, or unluckily, he has a lot of dirt on himself.

We have a huge stack of his criminal and inhuman activities, even though we were not even half way through with his records by the time the new maid announces that the lunch is ready.

All of us use that opportunity to get out of our seats, stretching and groaning as our muscles move after such a long time.

Jayden leans down to give me a peck when everyone starts to bind up, winking at me as I widen my eyes to get him to behave.

Willow rushes out the first, Blake following after with Articus as they talk about something. Chris tries to go after them, but I sense the perfect time to get him and Jayden to talk about the past so I call out to the two.

"Hey, I have to go to my room quickly. Call and check up on Abby, via one of the boys so if it's okay, go ahead please."

Chris gives me a nod before looking at the blue eyed man next to me, who is currently glaring at me.

I stand on my toes, wrapping my arms around his neck and kiss him, making him grip me on my waist. Tugging on his hair lightly before he can deepen the kiss, I whisper, "Give him a chance to explain. Don't make the same mistake I made two years ago."

I peck him again, not giving him a chance to respond before I pull away and turn, leaving the room but not before giving Chris a hug.

I rush to my room, going straight to my ensuite to wash my hands and face. I take my phone out and call Ryker, putting the device on speaker before placing it on the counter, just a safe distance from the sink.

It rings for some time before Ryker picks up, "Hey there."

This makes me raise my eyebrow as I ask him, washing my hands, "Who are you and what have you done to him?"

A husky chuckle sounds from the other side, making me smile as he speaks, "Ever planning to let this go?"

"Nope," I pop the 'p' as I start to wash my face, scrubbing as I listen to him.

"Well, if it makes you feel better, this cheerful behaviour is because of Abby. She talked to Keith and Mason a while back, Kevin made it to her list last night and today she bothered to introduce to us five to her cousin when they came to college. She even asked about yo-"

I cut him off, done splashing water on my face to wash off the products, "Cousin? And college?"

"Yes. She brought Camille to college with her. Something about using her parents' and Kane's name to get her a bit of late admission."

I hum, asking him to continue what he was saying.

"Yes... She asked about you. Said she would like to talk to you, ask your side about it."
