Meredith.
My feet moved faster than my thoughts as Kira trailed behind me.
Shirtless Draven made it to my memory and refused to leave. I couldn’t even remember how I kept my sanity until 4 PM.
It had been a shock and a blow to me realizing that I couldn’t play one prank on Draven and succeed with it. I would love to think he was too smart, but Valmora made me know how foolish I was.
After Draven had left my room, I had shuffled my hair roughly in failure, wondering what I had done wrong, when Valmora spoke in my head, pointing out the last part of my text to Draven.
’And what do you think will happen when I finally lay my hands on your little innocent wife?’
"You should never have mentioned it to Draven. That’s how he got you," Valmora had said.
She called me a dimwit. And I didn’t dare to wonder what she was.
She clearly knew my plans and my text, yet she hadn’t said a word to fix my flaws until it came back to bite me in the face. And only then did she set out to point it out.
But it was a good thing Draven hadn’t said anything about the stupid ’innocent wife’ part I had included. My entire face would have burnt up in shame.
As soon as I arrived at my destination, I gestured for Kira to leave.
"See you later, my lady." She bowed and turned on her heels.
I continued on my journey, seeing the familiar car parked in its usual position.
Dennis sat in the car, sunglasses on, one hand resting casually on the wheel like he was in a car race.
The moment I opened the door and slid into the passenger seat, he looked at me, one brow raised.
"Well?" he asked. "Tell me everything about your prank. Don’t leave anything out."
"How did you know I had unleashed my prank?" I asked, blinking my lashes. I was surprised since I hadn’t given him any timeline for it.
He wiggled his brows. "I have my sources."
Dennis was tight-lipped. He refused to answer my question and only agreed to it if I told him how I had executed my plans.
I didn’t hold anything back. I talked about the crazy calls, then showed him the text I had sent to Draven. He chuckled. He didn’t stop even after I mentioned that Draven found out I was behind it.
Instead, he urged me to continue.
I gave him a slow, smug smile. "He stormed into my room. Shirtless."
"You rattled him so bad he forgot a shirt?" Dennis choked on a laugh. "That explains a lot."
I didn’t understand what that last statement meant, so I carried on with my story.
"He snatched the phone right out of my hands after I hid it behind me," I said, trying to sound offended, but failing. "Didn’t even ask nicely. Then he went through my phone."
Dennis leaned back, still chuckling. "So? What did he say about the contact names?"
"Of course, he questioned me, wanting to know why his contact and yours were both saved that way on my phone." I almost rolled my eyes. "I simply told him you were behind it."
Recalling Draven’s tyranny and how he had demanded answers while snooping through my phone made me bite my lower lips in regret.
"Home Office."
