Weston shakes his head. Coben must be crazy. Only a crazy person rambles like this. Or maybe, he could be drunk. Coben smiles at him. “Avoid him for the next two days. We all are coming after him and I don't want you getting in our way.” He smiles again and walks off. Weston is seething with rage as he storms to Santiago's room. Mad at himself for believing Santiago might be one of the Achievers, mad at himself for not wanting to believe it, mad at Coben for making him this way. Just as he gets to the door, he hears Lorette's voice, she seems angry with the pitch of her voice a bit higher than normal. “Chill, I'll tell him,” he hears Santiago say. “I'm going to tell him if you can't. How long are you planning to hide it?” He hears Lorette shout.“Look, I have a few things to sort out first. I swear I'm going to tell him when I'm ready. And, come to think about it, we are going to leave the campus pretty soon, what use will i

Weston smiles. All of a sudden, Jose looks at him and says, “he's my best friend. Wait a minute.” He takes off the headphones. “What?” “That's the girlfriend you wanted to get married to?” Weston asks. “Yes. She suggested we FaceTime for our date since she's a little busy.” “Sorry to interrupt, but someone important is waiting for us,” Weston says. “Who is that?” “A surprise. Get dressed, not suit, any cloth will do. But we need to go now,” Weston says and goes to his closet.Jose groans. He applies the headphones on his ears. “I have to go now. Save my cereal till I come visiting, mom. I love you…” Ten minutes later, they are inside a restaurant. The only woman in the restaurant stands up as soon as she sees them. “Welcome, sirs,” she greets. Jose stops walking. He grabs Weston's hand. “What are you doing this time around?” “Helping you meet your stepmother, of course,” Wes

“It's this musician…Wesley, he's the one holding a concert tonight.” “Tonight?” This is just a few minutes past one.“Yes. I think the concert is by ten p.m.,” the driver says. “But…if he's holding a concert by ten p.m. isn't it too early for people to be gathering there. That's like eight hours plus before he comes.” The driver chuckles. “I guess you haven't heard about him.”“Is he some ancient musician?” Even from where the car is, Weston can still hear the shouts of people in front of the hall. The car moves a little further before it stops again. The driver chuckles. “He's not ancient. He's just twenty five years old.” Cool, right? A guy his age is causing a commotion in Atlanta and he (Weston) can't even keep his family together.“He's some musician who suddenly rose to fame two months ago and since then, he's been holding concerts around and people are running after him like flies.” Weston

Shit. This is getting way too long. Weston walks closer to one of the security men. “There is a little girl in this house?” The security man looks at the second one. “Who are you to ask that—” the rest of the words stuck in the second security man's throat.Without looking at the second security man who Weston is now grabbing his throat, Weston asks again, “is there a little girl in this house?” “Yes, sir. Yes, sir,” the first security man, seeing his colleague grasping for breath answers quickly.“What's her name?” Weston asks.“Hannah, sir. Her name is Hannah.” Weston lets go of the man's throat, pushing him against the wall. “Open the gate,” Weston says. Immediately, the first security man opens the gate. “Thanks for cooperating,” Weston says and he does mean it. If they prolonged things more than they already did, one or two dead bodies would have been lying on the floor right now an

The others seem to want to argue but clearly, Ivy's father has the final say on matters as the rest of the family follow him in. “So, why are you here?” Ivy's father asks when they are all seated. “I suppose even insane people don't walk about without a mission these days, so your brain must have suggested a seemingly good reason for you to be here.” Weston nods. He relaxes in his seat. “I came to get my daughter.” “You had a daughter? Do people who can't figure out their next meals have kids these days, forgive me if you're offended but back in my days, only men give birth, not babies who are still living off money they begged for.” “Honestly, Sir, I thought you should know better. You seem a bit old and knowledgeable,” Weston says. “I know a couple of rich people who don't dress according to their bank account.” “Well, I know a couple of them too. In fact, I know a lot of people who pretend to be rich because they think rich people

Ivy looks around. She can see the horror on her parents’ faces. Damn it! She can't have Weston destroy the reputation she's carefully painted to her parents. “Let's talk outside,” Ivy quickly says.“No. I'm not talking out.” Weston chuckles again, it doesn't come like a chuckle but he sure does it. “If you slapped me here, you don't expect that I'll accept your apology outside.”“It's not my fault. You get it? It's none of my fault. You were the one who caused it all,” Ivy says. “Which of them is my fault? You sneaking out of the house to go to a party, getting drunk and begging me to please allow you to spend a day at my room in the hotel? Or, was it when a week later I said it was time for you to go home and that I'd go with you and apologize to your parents if you were too scared? Or was it when I sent you to college? Which of them is my fault, you just tell me, Ivy.” Ivy can't dare look at her parents now. Shit! What the fuck!

“What? You knew I was hurt?” “Look, Weston, this is my life, my family values lies more than truth and that's what I just told them. Don't worry, they won't take any legal action against you, I'll prevent that to my last breath.”“Are you even listening to yourself?” “Now that I have destroyed all the last of your reputation with my family, I guess you will get the message and stop showing up in front of me. Let's be honest with ourselves, Weston, what we had was some shitty infatuation.” Weston can't say anything. His mouth suddenly seems way too heavy to open. How the hell can Ivy be talking like this? Like she's a fucking lunatic? “I was infatuated with your money and you with my beauty but that isn't enough reason for us to remain together. Your money is gone and I don't think I can remain in a relationship where there is no profit for me anymore.” She reaches into her bag and brings out a check.“You can withdraw the fiv

Santiago watches Lorette pace around the room for the hundredth time since they ended the call with Weston some minutes ago. “I…I don't really have to tell him this. We…you know we're leaving this place tonight.” Lorette stops walking and looks at him. “How the hell did you suddenly know the person behind this shit?” “I told you, bitch, I swear I didn't join the Achievers just for the fun of it. I joined for our mission.” “So, the Achievers' commander told you the one behind all the cults in this campus is that man named Jace?” She points at a picture Santiago brought to her earlier.“Yes,” Santiago says. “So, we don't have any more business on this campus. No business at all. We should leave tonight,” he says, hoping his voice isn't sounding too urgent. “We can't go without Weston's approval—”“I'll convince Weston if that is what you are worried about.”Lorette stares at him. Santiago doesn't lo

Santiago nods. About twenty minutes later, Santiago has Lorette piggybacked, he's carrying her inside one of the rooms in the hotel. By the time he gets to the room, he's breathing heavily. He gently lays her in the bed. “She's got a hell of a weight,” Santiago mutters. “How come she didn't wake up all through the time we brought her here?” One of the guys with Lorette's belongings asks.Santiago looks at the guy. He shrugs. “I know, right?” It ain't safe to make these guys go with him to the operation, with one of them already asking shitty questions, it's only a matter of minutes before they rat him out when they get back to the campus. “Let's go,” Santiago says. He takes Lorette's phone from his pocket and drops it on the table beside the bed. Santiago nods, he leaves with the other guys. Back inside the room, Lorette changes her position on the bed, long lost in the realm of sleep. Her phone on the ta

Coben clears his throat and finally dials the number. He clears his throat again. “What do you want?” The person at the other end asks. Coben can't imagine how irritated Liam is if his voice can sound that annoyed. “That's surely a lame question to ask an old-time buddy,” Coben says. “If you don't have anything to say, then I'm hanging up.”“Hey, bro, chill. I ain't some biting monster and even if I were, I wouldn't possibly bite you over the phone,” Coben says. “I'm too busy for all these.” “I just…I'm sorry,” Coben says. He can almost feel Liam's shock at the other end. “I'm not sorry for creating my group, really, I'm just sorry for ruining our friendship.”“Why are you telling me this?” Liam asks.“That's true. Why am I telling you this?” “Hey, if you're sick, go see your doctor. You ain't going to get me scared because of this. You know better than anyone that you and I are worst en
