KYLE’S POV.

Everytime I recall Ashanti’s near naked state with those men last night, I fight the urge to drive my fists into a nearby wall till they bleed.

She was drugged. Someone took her to meet the men. They stripped her naked and if I had not showed up, they would have done the unthinkable with her. Anger gnaws at my nerves, causing me to slam the car door hard the moment I step out of it. I just arrived at the dungeon where Hayley, the girl who allegedly drugged Ashanti, has been locked up.

I need to talk to her. I need to know her reason for doing such a vile thing.

“Where’s she?” I scream at the guards standing at the entrance of the hall way.

“This way, Delta Kyle.” One of the replies and leads the way in. My fists are clenched by my side and I’m gritting my teeth so hard, they hurt. She messed with the wrong girl.

I’m going to make her pay for what she did.

One elevator ride and a hundred steps later, I’m standing in front of a cell and there’s a girl in it.

She’s sitting on her butt, her knees pulled up to her chest while her head rests on them. The moment she senses my presence, she snaps her head in my direction and her pupils dilate in shock when she sees me. Her eyes are red and swollen. She has been

crying.

Hypocrite!

“Delta Kyle.” She goes on her knees and bows her head.

“Why did you do it?” I ask with a calm, but deadly voice. The girl whips her head up to back at me and immediately shakes it in denial. More tears fly down her eyes, but I’m not moved.

They are nothing but crocodile tears.

“Delta Kyle you have to believe me. I swear I knew nothing about the g a n g a g.” She denies in tears. I raise a single brow as I take one step closer to the prison cell. I stoop down to match her height since she’s on her knees and study her face carefully.

“If that’s the case, why did you drug her in the first place?”

“She… she… I mean I…” she stutters nervously…”

“Look at me when you’re talking.” She snaps her gaze to my face and sniffles tears.

I don’t feel sorry for her. Not a single bit.

“Two girls threatened me. I was already getting bullied by the two of them, so when they threatened to kill me if I didn’t do as they said, I got scared and had no choice but to accept. The plan was to get close to Ashanti. To become her friend and dig out information about her daily schedule and report to them. They didn’t tell me about the g. T h ey only gave me the orange juice and said to make sure Ashnati drank a good quantity of

it. I didn’t know that was the plan they had for her. I swear that’s the truth.”

“And why aren’t you mentioning the girl’s names?” The girl quickly shakes her head.

“I can’t.” She cries. My brows crease.

“What do you mean you can’t?”

“If I dare mention their names, they are going to kill me.”

All my bones melt in my body when Alina crosses my mind.

Could she be involved in this?

Even after all the warnings I gave her, she still went ahead to plan something as vile as this for Ashanti?

No.

It couldn’t be.

My sister might be ambitious and stubborn, but she’s not evil. She would never do a thing like this.

I look down at the girl carefully. She’s crying and wheezing and splintering into teardrops. Her face is red as beetroot. She looks miserable.

“And you do know if you don’t call names, things won’t turn out well for you, right?” She doesn’t say anything. I try to persuade her to call names, but she stays mute. I finally give up and blow out a deep breath. “Fine. Don’t talk. But know this. As it is now, all evidence points to you. If an investigation is carried out and nothing is linked to the two girls whose names you’ve refused to mention, you’re the one to be punished for what happened to Ashanti.”

“Delta Kyle please, you have to believe me. I didn’t …” She trails on but I don’t give her my attention. I rise to my feet and walk back to the elevator with my next mission in mind;

Talk to Alina.

***

“Alina!” I call at the top of my voice as I barge into her bedroom. That girl, Hayley, did not call names but I cannot help but suspect that Alina is one of the girls.

She’s the only one in the entire H a re m capable of scaring another girl to the point where she refuses to mention her name even though she’s in a tight

spot.
