“What are you doing here?” I heard someone shout at me and make me turn around in panic. Our new teacher had walked into the woods to find me with Colt.
I gulped when I watched Mr. Mykel look behind me and then narrow his eyes at my face. I turned around to tell Colt I would meet him again when I found him gone.
“Shit!” I cursed as I realized Colt must have felt like I brought this man to capture him. Soon Mykel made me walk out of the woods and called all my so-called stepbrothers to pick me up. The brothers came in one car to attend the meet- ing with Mykel.
“I am sorry for disturbing you all, but this matter needed immediate attention,” Mykel said, rubbing his hands and not sitting in one place. The brothers had settled down in the chairs while I was standing against the wall like a guilty per-son.
“What is wrong?” Akin questioned, his stare slowly travel- ing to me and then making its way back to Mr. Mykel.
“I found Beatrice in the woods.” Mykel stated, “She walked into the woods with a guy who ran away the instant he saw me,” he added, and the look on the brother’s face hard- ened.
Helel had his eyes traveling around as he was trying to conclude something, while the others looked lost too.
“So you called us here to slut shame her?” Helel stretched his neck, cracking his knuckles too as he expressed rage to the teacher, “She is not your responsibility and neither is she a child.” He added, making it certain that he was taking my side.
“No! obviously not. I knew she was staying at the man- sion, so I just wanted to alarm you that the woods are not a safe place to wander around these days. There have been some cases of robbery, assault, and murder in the woods. I didn’t want her to hate me, so I called you in. Maybe you could talk to her and ask her who the guy was and why he had run away when he saw me. Mykel asked in a mild tone, still making it sound weird.
The murders in the woods!
I was unaware of them. But why was Colt so relaxed in the woods? Is he behind the murders?
“Thank you for calling, but we know the boy. He is her friend and is a bit of a bother, but nothing major. Now if you will excuse us, we will take her home for the day,” Akin said, getting out of the chair to announce the departure while fix- ing his coat.
“Oh! It’s no problem then. Have a good day.” Mykel pressed his lips into a tight line when watching us leave. I could tell he did not believe the brothers, but what other choice was he left with?
Once we were in the car together, I began to feel the heat from their bodies. They were going to question me hard once I was home.
And it happened just that way. The moment I walked into the living room, Zane grabbed the cushion and threw it across. the wall. I wasn’t surprised. He was going to use this moment to get his anger out on me somehow.
“Who was the guy?” Zane yelled, making me squeeze my body closer and watch him pace around aggressively.
“Beatrice! Why were you in the woods, and who was the guy?” Akin continued to ask me this time.
“He is my friend.” Before they could even question me more, I murmured.
“Which friend?” Helel felt compelled to know.
“He is—,” I was kind of digging the attention until Gwen came out of her room with her hand over her head.
“Gwen!” Helel was the first one to notice her.
“I am not feeling well,” she exclaimed, dizzily walking around and trying to hold on to anything for support.
Helel rushed before anyone and carried her in his arms. while the others panicked visibly. Not surprised once again.
They were all going crazy for this dramatic hoe. I frowned, glaring at them as they rushed her out of the mansion.
“Lock the doors. We will have this conversation when we return.” Maddox shouted from the door. It was crazy how all of them had to leave with her.
“She did it on purpose,” I muttered under my breath, hearing my phone ringing in my bag. It was an unknown num- ber, but I went anyway.
“Hello?” I sighed, dropped my bag on the couch, and wait- ed for the person to start talking.
“Did I get you in trouble?” his voice was easily recogniz- able.
“Colt?” I jumped straight on the couch when realizing he had somehow found my number. “How did you find my num- ber?” I asked in shock.
“From the school’s record. Tell me, did I get you in trou- ble?” he asked again, but with much concern. I don’t know what it was, but he sounded very considerate. Since when had anyone ever asked for my
well-being with this much passion? “I will be fine,” I answered.
“I would like to meet you again, Beatrice!” He said my name with so much sweetness that I couldn’t help but smile foolishly.
“You can come to my home.” It was then that the words slipped through my tongue. I bit my tongue, thinking he might find it weird, but his response was eerily calm.
“Sure, I will come. What is your address?” he asked, and my jaw hit the floor. It was the right moment for me to panic, as the brothers would kill me if they found a stranger in their mansion.
“Umm! Are you sure? I mean, I live with the brothers.” As soon as I said that, he cut the call.

“Shit!” I cursed. “I should have waited before telling him. I freaked him out, didn’t I?” I tried calling him back, but his number was off. He must have switched it off in fear of get- ting it tracked down by the brothers.
“I will find him in the woods again.” I sighed at my stupidi- ty and grabbed my bag to walk over to my room. It took me some time to finish taking another bath and slip into black shorts and a brown sweater.
My phone beeped again just as I was about to crawl into bed. It was him again. I instantly read his text, and, to my sur- prise, it freaked me out this time.
C.A: Which one is your bedroom? My heart skipped a beat when I realized he was already on our property.
