Chapter 206

~Valerie’s POV~

"What?" The word fell out of my mouth before I could stop it.

"Her parents," Isla added.

"Shit."

That was it... I shoved Dristan away, put on my clothes and dashed out of the room.

I did not wait, even when both Isla and Dristan called after me, and just as I was about to reach the entrance, Xade stopped me, blocking my path with hands raised.

"Valerie, hey, wait, stop."

My eyes raked his face and I asked sharply, more like ordered. "Your car keys."

He did not argue; he wanted to, but the deadly look in my eyes made him dip his hand in his pocket and take out the keys.

"Val..." I snatched it and bolted.

Xade hurried after me, as did Dristan, but Dristan was first. He was dressed now, but his shirt was turned inside out. He pulled me back, holding my wrist.

His eyes searched mine, looking for a reason to make sense of anything.

"Let go."

"No. Valerie." I yanked, but his grip was strong. "Okay... just let me take you."

I was tempted to say yes, but I couldn’t. Instead, I turned towards Xade’s car, unlocked the door with the remote and got in.

"Valerie." Dristan was persistent.

"No. No one can drive as fast as I want to go now." My gaze flickered to Xade. "Now we’re even. Thanks."

With that, I put the car in reverse, changed gear and then turned... driving off.

All through my drive, one thought remained... I had let Solstice down. I had gotten so deep in my head and stupid rage to not search for her properly.

My hand slipped through my hair as I tossed it back, focusing on the road.

I stepped on the accelerator, going the fastest I’d ever gone.

Ignored protocol, ignored suspicions and chased. Hoping to find them before she is dragged back. Not that I knew what I would do because if Uncle Zade was involved, then Solstice and I would be in deep sheet.

Just then, another car drove in my rearview mirror. I looked and noticed Dristan was catching up. I did not care if he was proving a point, and instead, continued my race.

Within fifteen minutes max, I arrived at PSA, slowing down to allow the gates to open. As soon as it did, I was racing straight to the school’s entrance.

I parked the car with a loud screech, pushed the door open and got out the second I saw Solstice behind me, dragged out.

My first instinct was to run and shove the men holding her.

And I did, stopping short in my race when I saw him. My chest heaved, my breathing deep, my shoulders tensed.

I bit the inside of my lips, waiting... my fingers clenched into fists at my side.

He looked my way and my breath caught in my throat the moment I saw him.

Uncle Zade.

Tall. Towering. Commanding.

He moved with prestige and power, his long black coat trailing behind him like a banner of authority.

His blond hair was slicked back neatly, not a strand out of place. Those icy blue eyes scanned the area like they owned it, piercing and cold, filled with controlled fury.

And in that moment, I saw it—anger... and worse—disappointment.

I’m sorry.
