Chapter 98

98. Stefan

– Alekos states at my phone. “You better not be wasting my time,”

“I won’t,” I promise, and he lets go of

After I place the phone on the charging pad, I take a quick shower, washing away the blood from my

wounds and the 6th from the days spent in the forest. My hands shake from the pain, but it is little I can

do about it. I return to the living room wearing only a pair of shorts. Reyes-who has cleaned the blood

from his forehead-and Alekos are waiting for me, sitting on the sofa,

Reyes looks at the wounds on my sarsa. The pain inflicted by the acid is so intense I am ready to beg

Reyes for the antidote, but I know it is part of my punishment, so I will endure it in silence, “I modified

the acid since I last showed you how it works. It will leave scars on your body, so you will never forget

what you did.”

Reyes knows precisely where to strike. As a teen, I was very shallow and thought that beputy was all

that mattered. Most girls from my hometimen w me, but I only used them for sex. I changed soon after I

What a pair we made. She was using me to get to Aleks, and I fell in love with her because she was

the most beautiful woman I had ever met. When I met Angel, I thought she was dull compared to Emily,

and I didn’t understand what Alekos saw in her, but now I finally see it.

My work computer is always on, so accessing the pen die is not a problem. I already told them about

the pen drive, so I show them the folder with videos and report about Emily and wait until they go

through all of them,

Alekos is tense as he learns about what Emily did, and when he finds out she is sponsible for Nik ola

s’s death, his eyes run from the phone to me. “You let her get away with what she did,” he says,

knowing she was the one from the hospital. “You never showed the same grace to Angel.”

“We all failed her,” I remind them,

mean everything I said. “What cle is on the pen drive?”

“There are folders for many Lords and Dukes children.”

“Alec?” Reyes asks fast.

I nod. “But the last video is from the day he was killed.”

“Show me!” Heyes demands.

I take my phone from him and look for Alec’s folder. “There is one for Angel also,”

Alekos sna tched the phone from my hands. “Let me see!”

I tell him what folder to open, and both he and Reyes watch the videos taken of her. When they reach

the ones of her at the facility, Reyes’s eyes go wide. “She was the girl I tried to save the day Alec died.”

Reyes told us about how Alec died, but I still can’t help but ask, “What?”

Reyes nuns a finger over the phone’s screen. “We were always meant to be. She was never Aler’s but

mine.” What is he talking about? His gaze snaps back at me. “You did this. Find her!”

I don’t know where to start, but I will find Angel “I won’t rest until she is back with us.”

Alekos stands. “Good. We need to show the Elders the pen drive and tell them what you did.”
