Chapter 298
298-It’s Getting Spicy
“So you pretended to have sex with him?” Zander asked, nodding his head while the others remained
silent.
“Let me get this correct. He wanted to mark you in exchange for making sure you didn’t go to theb.
Maynard questioned, watching my face. I sat them down and told them exactly what happened in the
previous days.
“Yes,” I answered, sneaking a nce at Thiago and Lazlo. Thiago had sat down in his bed while Lazlo
was on his own. We were sitting on the floor in the center
“I don’t know how to say it, but you shouldn’t have done anything for me.” I didn’t expect that change of
tone from Maynard. He was patiently listening to me until the end.
“Maynard! He can save you all—,” I only managed to say that much when Thiago aggressively shook
his head to disagree with me.
“Who told you I wanted your help?” Thiago straightened his back in bed while he angrily stared into my
face. I was shocked at how he had been acting ever since I returned.
“He is right. It should have stopped when he marked you. You didn’t need to save us,” Maynard
scoffed, as he got on his feet to get away from me.
“She did it all for you guys. Do you guys not see that?” Christina finally broke the silence. She had been
awfully silent this whole time. One could only imagine what the poor girl went through.
“But we didn’t ask for it!” Maynard yelled, gulping and clenching his jaw. “Now he is going to be all over
you?” He then let out a sarcastic chuckle.
“Why are you so pressed about it? Let her mates, that is us, deal with it.” Zander pointed out Maynard’s
anger and called it irrelevant. Christina lowered her face as she ignored her brother’sment. It
wasn’t the right time for anyone to make her think any type of way about her mate.
“Because I am her friend and I remember how hurt she was when he —” Maynard hadn’t even finished
talking when Zander joined him on his feet and faced him.
“Didn’t you hurt her, too?” Zander shrugged. “Just saying,”
“I didn’t try to rape her or publicly humiliate her,” Maynard defended himself. He was not wrong; his hurt
was different from what Corbin had done to me.
“Guys! You need to stop. I am not a child. I can make my own decisions.” I finally got to my feet and
spoke for myself. I had been listening to them make decisions for me and taunt me ever since I
returned, and I was now done with it.
“I wanted to help you guys, and there is nothing you can do to change my mind. He has the fucking
videos. There is no way none of you can get them without my help.” I muttered angrily, watching their
faces one by
one.
A knock on the door was a reminder that we now see that face a little more often.
“Hey, just wanted to let you know it is all being handled. Now you are all free, thanks to me.” Corbin
entered the room and sat down on my bed once again. The instant Corbin settled into the bed, Thiago
got out of his bed.
“Thiago,” Maynard called for him, looking between us.
“I need a minute.” He sprinted out of the room as if his life depended on it. I didn’t want to leave them
behind with Corbin, but in the current situation, it was important that I go after Thiago.
“Please manage the room behind me,” I said to Maynard, who nodded steadily. I left after Thiago and
found him in the hallway, rushing towards the staircase.
“Wait! You are not even going to look at me now?” I asked in a broken tone. My words were able to
stop him in his tracks. He stayed still for a moment before he turned towards me and bolted. I didn’t
know what he was nning to do until he cupped my face in his hands and crashed his lips against
mine.
It was a sudden move, but I liked how it tasted. He moaned as he deepened the kiss, his body pressing
against mine until my back hit the wall.
“Oh! Oh My God!” a student must have walked on us because sheined and rushed into her
room at the end of the hallway. Thiago broke the kiss and then gently rubbed his lips over mine.
“I am not mad at you. I am sorry if I sounded mean and arrogant back there. However, I need some
time.” He was whispering on my lips, “Go speak to Lazlo, make amends.” His words shook me out of
the memorization.
“I will,” I assured her.
“He needs —you.” Thiago closed his eyes as he freed my face from his hands.
“I know this, and I will take care of it. I just want to know if you—,”I tried to talk, but he kept talking
about Lazlo.

“Just go out on a date with him or let him decide on a ce for you to stay at. Please, you need to get
into a serious rtionship with him.” Although I knew he didn’t like Lazlo a lot anymore, the fact that he
kept talking about him frustrated me a little. I wanted to talk about Thiago, about him.
“I will,” I repeated to myself.
“I need a minute. Don’t follow me.” It was so unlike him when he stopped me from going after him. I
stayed behind whilst he sprinted to the exit.
When I went back into my room, I found the environment rather depressing
“Corbin, can I have a word with you?” I asked, stealing eyes from Lazlo. I noticed Maynard getting
ready to take Christian out of here for some time. She definitely needed a change in the environment.
Zander was leaving, as usual, to be with his friends.
They had been stuck in this room for some time. They were all ready to spread their wings and breathe
in some fresh air.
“Sure, what is it?” Corbin asked, not moving out of my bed.
“Can we talk alone?” I requested once again, and a smirk appeared on his lips.
“Ohhh! It’s about to get spicy.” Corbin rubbed his palms excitedly before he jumped out of the bed. I
know he was trying to get on Lazlo’s nerves and it seemed to be working fine because Lazlo lowered
his face and shook his head in disappointment.
