CHAPTER 71

71-He Has The Pictures

“What did you get from playing me?I was stuck in shock; it was too much to consume. I gave him a chance and this is how he played me?

“I am not answerable to you. Now get out of my way.” pushing me to the side, he didn’t even see if he had tripped me on the road.

He didn’t wait for me and left in his car. I was standing there feeling like a used key to his games. I returned to my room and flopped down in the bed.

“He played us,’ I cried to Nia, feeling mixed of emotions, ‘I am going to reject him.’I muttered, expecting Nia to be supportive of my decision.

“I don’t think you should right now,’ her fainted cry of misery confused me.

“What? you still want to be stuck with them?’ I asked her angrily, not expecting such foolishness from her.

‘I am saying this for us. If we keep rejecting mates, we will grow weak. We need to first unlock all the powers and then reject them. Besides, do you think he will accept the rejection? It will hurt me more. I will grow weak and weaker,’ now that she raised her voice at me, I understood why was afraid of rejecting them.

“Don’t forget we are still pretty much stuck in this academy. We are surrounded by people who will harm us if we are weak,’ she was right.

But that didn’t mean I will have to keep chasing after these fools. I needed to get into the roots of it, he will answer me.

I bet the others were aware of the trouble between us because Maynard kept humming and walking around happily.

“Lazlo! do you remember people flying high thinking they are special?” he finally said something directly indicating he knew something was wrong.

“Oh I do, I didn’t know karma will strike them so quickly.” Lazlo was no less than Maynard. He commented back to annoy me.

“Somebody being happy deserves karma to strike them?” I stood up for myself but Maynard only let out a laugh and then proceeded to chuckle evilly.

This was unfair, Thiago shouldn’t have used my emotions to manipulate me. But what did he get out of it? if he had some hidden anger for me, he would have left me unconscious there.

“I am so hurt,’ Nia voiced,

‘I know, so am I,’ I sighed, watching Maynard and Lazlo exit the room.

‘Why did he do this; I am trying to understand what he wanted to prove with it?’ I asked Nia to help me solve this mystery. Once again, now that my other mates were at a cold war with me, Thiago left me.

I fought with them for him and he too left me, how sad!

“Maybe he has the pictures but he will use them to blackmail us into doing things we wouldn’t usually do?’ her statement made my heart skip inside my chest. That would be the most frightening thing.

‘That can’t be it. If it was he would have told us by now. Besides, it is not like the files were about my crimes. If he says he will leak them what possibly could go wrong with it? he will expose himself to plotting against the Alpha King. But let’s just say he blackmails me for doing things in order to get the

pictures, then what? that is the only possible thing I can come up with,’ my eyes filled with tears when I concluded how wrong it could go if he does that to me.

“At this point, I don’t fucking trust him at all. He has played us way too many times and every time we let him off hook too easily. Maynard was right! We are too weak in front of Thiago,’ Nia agreed we have given too much importance to Thiago when he hadn’ t lived up to our expectations.

‘Let’s wait for him to come back. He has to answer us,” I sat determinedly waiting for him. I would not let him get away with this. he must answer this time.

I stayed in my room waiting for him like crazy. Before he could come, Maynard came back and decided to take a shower. He didn’ I really utter a word to me or commented anything and left for the bathroom. I was happy he did that because I was in no mood of playing that day.

Thiago appeared just when I thought he wouldn’t show up for the next few hours. He went straight to his bed and sat down to go

through his phone like nothing wrong happened between us.

“Do you really think it is all over?” I raised my voice and he shook his head to look at me.

“You played me, and I want to know why?” I got up from the bed and stood near his bed to have a word with him.

“You are annoying me now,” he closed his eyes to comment and when tried getting up on his feet to flea away once again, 1 pushed him back. He dropped in the bed and it was at that moment that his eyes changed the color.

“Are you going to blackmail me for those pictures?” I didn’t care if I hurt his feelings anymore. He had made it pretty clear that he doesn’t care about me or my feelings so why should I care?

“Enya! You better get away from me now because you are pissing me off,” he didn’t get up because I was standing right in his way, hunching over him as I demanded the truth from him. © content.

“I won’t. You are going to tell me what is your sick plan with those pictures?” I shouted, loudly enough to get the attention of Maynard, who rushed out of the bathroom when heard us argue.

“Maynard! Take her out of my sight,” Thiago closed his eyes while resting his back against the wall and sitting in his bed.

“But what is going on? why are you two fighting?” Maynard didn’t start his usual joking and everything.

“I will not move away until you give me those pictures,” I was shouting in anger. He used me, I felt like a fool thanking him for staying beside me.

“Pictures? You have her pictures?” I know Maynard took it wrong because he sounded so confused. I didn’t have time to explain anything to him, I was focusing on Thiago.

“I don’t have any pictures. I didn’t click any,” Thiago repeated his lies, closing his eyes angrily.

“You did. I saw you taking pictures before I was passed out,” I screamed and bent ahead to swing a punch at him out of anger. He used me and that part was making make me go insane.

Maynard grabbed me in time and pulled me away before my fist could meet Thiago’s face.

“Dude! What is g-oing on?” Maynard was struggling to hold me away from Thiago because I was still trying to get near him.

“Take her away before she regrets anything,” Thiago got on his feet now that Maynard had dragged me away.

“Not before you give me the pictures or tell me what you are holding onto them for?” I shouted and Maynard pushed me back, standing in front of me.

“Thiago! What pictures are we talking about here?” Maynard sounded very aggressive when asking Thiago.

I don’t know what he was thinking but I was not going to let Thiago lie to me and tell me he didn’t take any pictures.

“Thiago!” Maynard shouted again and this time, Thiago shouted back.

“I didn’t take the pictures of your files,” as he yelled that, I realized he didn’t deny taking pictures, he just didn’t take the pictures of the files that I needed.
