Chapter Twenty

The man loosened his grip on my mouth as he dragged me out of the club through the back door. I tried to scream, but he pressed his hand back again on my mouth. I got a glimpse of his face when the strong strobe lights reflected on him. It was not Jasper or anyone I knew. He was the same blond man who’d been staring at me a while ago.

We were in an underground cave. The strong whiff of smoke and alcohol almost made me gag. There was a different crowd of people down here, the type you were supposed to stay away from. I saw a woman passed out on the floor. Her eyes were rolled back, and there was another man smoking at the arm of the couch.

They were doing drugs. Why had this man brought me here?

“I’m going to scream,” I warned him.

“I need you to trust me, Kiara,” he said, and pointed at a door at the far end. “We can go outside to the parking lot where there are fewer people and we’d more privacy to talk.” His eyes darted around the room cautiously.

“I’m not going anywhere unless you tell me who you are,” I said, folding my arms across my chest and trying to appear tough even though I was scared from the inside.

“Lucas Johnson sent me here. Does that name ring any bells?”

Of course, it did. How could I forget the man who had helped me, no questions asked.

“What does Lucas have to do with this?” I asked.

“If you follow me, I’ll tell you everything,” he said, and then added, “You have to trust me, Kiara.”

I didn’t have a choice so I followed him out towards the door that had a huge EXIT sign in neon lighting. The curiosity building inside me outweighed the fear I had for this man, even though his method of getting my attention was wrong; although I admit I wouldn’t have talked to him if he hadn’t dragged me downstairs. As the club doors closed behind us, the chaos got quieter. He grasped my elbow, and pulled me towards the corner near a blue Lexus sedan.

“My name is John, and I work for Lucas. He sent me here to warn you about some things.” He came straight to the point.

“He knows where I am?” I asked him, surprised.

John nodded, “And he also knows what Jasper is up to.”

“I don’t understand.”

John glanced around as if making sure we were actually alone, and whispered, “Is he being unnecessarily sweet? Did he tell you that he has changed? Did Jasper ask you for another chance?”

“He did, but—”

John gave out a hoarse laugh. “That bastard is playing you.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because that’s his plan all along. He wants to trap you in an elaborate sketched plan and drag you back to that hell hole.”

“I don’t believe you.” I shook my head.

It was true that Jasper acted indifferently, but he’d apologized for his behavior. He was sweet by giving me roses even though I didn’t appreciate how he’d almost scared the bejesus out of me.
