The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 384

The guys from Reaper Division had their guns ready, fingers itching for action, but then they just froze. It was like they’d seen a ghost. Every single one of them was staring at Charlotte, eyes about to pop out of their heads.

Seriously, what was happening? Was this even possible? Why were they… hugging?

Anthony had just dove out of the car to shield someone, risking turning himself into Swiss cheese in the process. But the craziest part? The person he’d wrapped his arms around… was a man.

Was the founder of the X Organization into guys? That would explain why Anthony was always alone, never a woman at his side. Maybe those rumors were true.

Meanwhile, Jackson and Adonis had hit the ground hard, rolling across the dirt until they slammed into a tree. Everything hurt. When they managed to haul themselves up, what they saw made things even weirder. Charlotte was pinning some guy to the ground. And everyone from Reaper Division, who’d been in the middle of a firefight just moments before, was just standing there, completely stunned, staring at the two of them tangled up together.

If Adonis remembered right, that guy was God himself, the head of X Organization.

Adonis’s brain short-circuited. Charlotte and God… holding each other?

Wait. He rubbed his eyes, then pinched his arm, hard. The pain was real. He looked again. They were still tangled together.

What the hell? Was he losing it, or was the world just completely insane? Charlotte and God were… what, a thing now?

No, something was off. Charlotte was still dressed like a guy, and God was all over her. Did that mean…

Suddenly, Adonis’s face changed. Oh, hell no. Charlotte already had someone. There was no way this freak God was getting anywhere near her.

“What?”

Before Adonis could get another word out, he saw the guy on the ground help Charlotte sit up. His face came into view, impossibly handsome and sharp, like he belonged on the cover of a magazine.

“Holy shit.”

There was just no better way to say it. God, the leader of X Organization, was Charlotte’s boyfriend. Anthony.

Which also meant… two years ago, the one who wiped out N Organization and drove them out of Apex had been him all along.
