Chapter Five

“It was a bloody accident,” a haughty voice hissed.

“Some bloody accident, she’s in the medical office!” Another male baritone voice piped up.

“It was your stupid idea to smash the lamp -”

“Oh, fucking fabulous Theo -”

“Will you all shut up?” Zara croaked, cracking her eyelids open. The sight before her made her sure that she had ended up in hell. “Oh God, I’m in hell, aren’t I?”

“Not quite,” Theo chuckled lightly, his concerned gaze latched onto her.

Jasper, James and Tristan were standing on the other side of her bed, their forlorn, almost guilty stares flickered between Zara and a spot behind the bed. They looked...troubled. Did they feel bad for what they did?

No, that was definitely the morphine or whatever pain medication they gave her. Licking her dry lips, she adjusted her position on the bed, straightening her back.

“I know it was you all,” Zara murmured. “You did this.”

“Look, we never meant for it to get this far,” James said solemnly. “We were only to scare you, nothing more.”

“If you hadn’t walked barefoot on fucking glass, then you wouldn’t even be here, you stupid girl!” Jasper thundered.

His eyes were covered with dark, grey circles, casting an ominous aura to his signature harsh, stony face. Jasper’s trademark styled coifed hair was standing up at different angles, almost as though he had spent all night anxiously running his hands through it.

Zara felt her blood boil. Clenching her teeth tightly, she exhaled in disgust. “How dare you put the blame on me?”

“Did I force you to walk on glass?” He growled.

“Mate, stop,” Tristan sighed.

That was probably the first time Zara had heard Tristan Montgomery say something meaningful.

“Get out,” she said, averting her gaze away from the boys.

Theo and James exchanged hesitant looks, unsure of something. Zara didn’t care; she just wanted them far, far away from her.

“We wanted to confirm our stories,” James said firmly.

“Excuse me?”

“Your story,” he pointed out. “What are you planning to tell Defoe?”

“Are you for real?” She baulked. These motherfuckers were only out here to save their skin; nothing more and nothing less.

“Questions will be asked,” James noted pointedly.

“And the answers will all involve you,” Zara said squarely. “Sorry if that doesn’t go along with your plan, Knightley.”

He moved closer, a blank look on his face. “Choose carefully.”

“Or what?” Zara said immediately. “You’ll smash more glass over my head next time?”

A painful silence passed through. They hadn’t expected her to bite back. They had expected her to nod, accept their terms and like a docile animal, hope that they would leave her alone. A victim to her fate.

That had pissed her off more than anything.

“Unless you all have something of value to say to me - like an apology -get the hell out of my room before I call someone.”

She could tell by their slightly sorrowful stares - aside from Jasper, of course, - that they were dealing with a different target.

Tristan was the first one to make his way to the exit, giving Zara a polite, departing nod.. Not that she cared in the slightest.
