Chapter 106

KISAREL

I was fresh from the shower, my hair still damp, when Jace’s phone buzzed for the third time in an hour–one of those calls he refused to take in front of me.

He looked at the screen, his jaw tightening so hard I feared his teeth might crack. Then he kissed my forehead and ast “Work. I’ll be back soon.

I was home alone, trying to sort out everything I needed to resume work tomorrow, when my phone started vil the bed.

For a second, I thought it was Jace.

I picked up the phone, and when I saw the caller ID displayed on my screen, my chest reacted, and I instantly hated that

Mr. Stark.

I stared at his name until the call stopped ringing.

Then it started again.

I dropped the phone on the bed like it had burned me, doing my best to ignore him.

He called three more times, and when a text entered my phone, I could no longer ignore it.

I picked it up out of anger and curiosity.

Oceans: Come outside.

I froze.

Outside?

My first instinct was to go to the window.

I hated myself for doing it, but I moved before I could think better of it. I pulled the curtain aside just enough to se front of Jace’s house.

A black car sat across the street.

My pulse jumped.

“No,” I whispered.

What the hell is wrong with this man?

Chapter 106

Oceans: The man who touched you at Luna Park is dead.

The room tilted a little.

I read it again, a bit slower, waiting for the words to become less real.

They didn’t.

My thumb hovered over his name.

Don’t call him… Don’t call… Don’t…

I called him, either way, and he answered immediately.

“What are you saying? He was alive as of this afternoon. What went wrong?” I dropped all the questions at once

That man was the only lead I should have had to know what’s going on around me. To solve the mystery of the person that had been texting me, the stalker, and everything else I couldn’t understand

He couldn’t just be dead.

My thoughts kept jumping all over the place, so I didn’t notice Oceans silence.

“Oceans?” I called.

“How did you find him?” He asked.

I heaved a calming sigh, “My friend helped me track him down.”

I heard him suck in a deep breath, “Which friend is this, Kiss? She seems to be a very important part of your he now don’t I know about her?”

“That’s because you are my boss, and you shouldn’t know all my friends… I paused.

He went quiet again as if the words pierced him.

“I’m outside.” He switched topics so smoothly, “Come. Let’s talk.”

His voice was so low and calm that it grated on my nerves. He sounded like that was a normal thing parked outside my fiance’s house.

I turned toward the window again, my heart suddenly beating too loudly. You can’t be bere Le

“You should be grateful I’m not inside his house.” He replied.

“Oceans,” I warned.

“But I’ll soon be, depending on your choice of action. He added

My mouth fell open. “Are you insane?

“I’ve been called worse

“This is Jace’s house.

“Then stop making me stand ouwente
