“He’s fine. He’ll be mad at me… but he’s fine.”
“He’s going to be so pissed at you.” She sends me a smirk and it’s in this moment that I know she understands us. She’s not naïve to the demands our families put on us. Hell, she’s in the same situation with her own.
“What happened when you moved away?”
“I don’t want to talk about all of that.”
“I want to know. I’ve missed so much of your life… and now I’m missing even more.”
“That’s your own fault.”
“Maybe it is now, but what happened when you were gone isn’t my fault.”
“I know. But it’s better if all of that stays in the past.”
“What are you not telling me, Kens?” I sit forward on the couch and look her way.
“My father shipped me off to a boarding school. Things happened. Then when I found out my mother died while I was away at school, I couldn’t handle it. I ran away and lived on my own until my grandfather found me in Georgia. I had to do some crazy shit to survive.”
“How’d you get here?”
“My grandfather set up a college fund for me when I was a baby. When I graduated high school, the money became mine to use as long as I attended Bentley University.” She gives me a fake smile. “My dad let me come back to the states as long as I chose an elite university, which Bentley also fits. So, here I am.”
“Was it your father’s father?”
“No, my mother’s.”
“Does your father know you’re here?”
“He knows. But he can’t control me now. So, I don’t even think about him.”
“Why Bentley?”
“Your family isn’t the only one who has generations of Bentley graduates.”
“Whatthings happened?”
“Oh, I caught the Rector sneaking into my room. I broke his hand in the door when he opened it. The next day I was taken into isolation, where they kept me for over a month for not obeying the rules of the class. Apparently, I wasn’t sitting in my chair properly and lacked professionalism.” She reaches for a magazine and continues while she’s flipping pages. “When he came to see me in isolation, I broke out. I used the moves you and King taught me, and I beat his ass before I stole the key and locked him inside.” My heart swells with admiration and equal sadness for everything she’s been through.
“What was his name?”
“That’s not important.”
“It is to me.” I will end every fucker who has done her wrong in the past without hesitation. I just need to know who I’m going to kill next.
“Well, it’s in the past. I’m not looking back, and neither should you.” She says one thing and my entire being screams another. It’ll just have to be something King, and I take care of once the initiations are over.
“I think I’m going to find a shower and then go to bed.” She stands and moves toward the room my bag was in and I stay behind to give her some privacy. “I’m taking some of your clothes!” she yells from the other room, and I smile just thinking about her wearing my stuff.
Chapter 19
KINGSTON
Iris hasn't been answering her phone, nor has she been to her room at the sorority house. The obsessive, possessive side of me is rearing its ugly head as every thought plagues my mind, tormenting me to no end. If Iris thinks I'll allow her to up and disappear as she did in the past, she's mistaken. I'll hunt her across this fucking planet and make her love me. She's going to force me to lose control after having her in my bed then taking the closeness away from me. She's mine, I made it clear as day to her and now the devil taps my shoulder, whispering she's turned her back to me.
I won't believe it.
I'll find her and show her I'm everything she’ll ever need.
