Chapter Four

Pulling into the hotel parking lot, I was shocked by the fact that a transponder in the car gave the twins instant access into the VIP parking garage. They parked on the third floor and pulled me out of the car to walk with them into the garage elevator. Connor reached out to enter a code and the elevator shot up, making it feel like my heart was sinking into my stomach.

“Where are we going?”

Connor looked at me and grinned. “To our home away from home. We stay here after a fight and return back to dad’s house in the morning.”

That explained why they were always gone at night and came home looking like the walking dead. “So…what? Is this is your party pad? What’s the point of even pretending to live at the house?”

Liam chuckled. “Because we attend school near the house – or at least your mom thinks we do.”

Connor interrupted. “Yeah, sorry Emma, but we’re not the brainiacs of the house like you. We didn’t get a full ride to college.”

I glared at him. “Sorry for trying to do well in school. But maybe my reasoning isn’t what you think.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Connor asked.

Locking my eyes with his, I answered, “Maybe I don’t want to be the good little girl anymore. Maybe I worked my ass off to get that scholarship so I had a reason to attend school an hour away from home instead of going to the community college in town. Maybe I’m sick and tired of being governed by my mother’s rules! Did you ever think of that?” I was yelling, but I couldn’t help it. I was so tired of living a lie.

Connor grinned. “That’s more like it, Emma. Tell you what, give us a little bit of time and we’ll be sure to help you get rid of that good girl demeanor.”

The elevator opened up directly to the penthouse and I stumbled in behind the twins, completely amazed at the beauty of the space.

“I need to jump in the shower,” Liam said, quickly ducking down a hallway.

“Asshole!” Connor yelled after him. “Don’t use up all the hot water this time!”

Looking back at me, he angled his head towards the couch and said, “Sit down.”

I opened my mouth to argue, but then realized the futility of it. I was in their place, brought here by their car, and the likelihood of me finding a way to get home if I started an argument with them was slim.

I took a seat on the couch and watched him move through the kitchen. Grabbing two glasses from a cabinet, he placed them on the counter and filled them with ice. Opening up another cabinet, he grabbed a can of soda and a bottle of alcohol. He glanced up at me as he poured alcohol into both glasses. “So you really want to shed the good girl thing?”

I watched him tip the bottle again before splashing the top of both glasses with a little bit of cola.
