Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates - Chapter 205

Chapter 205: 205-Some Justice!

Helanie:

Jenny never said anything and just remained sitting, watching my face. It was the most awkward few minutes of my life. For a moment, I felt like she knew I was lying to her.

And that she knew all my truths.

But then Lamar arrived with Lucy, and Jenny’s attention was diverted from me.

“Let me take you to your room,” Lucy spoke politely to Jenny. Ever since the rejection, Lucy had changed a lot.

She was like her old self—the one who was always loving and happy to help everyone around her. Thankfully, she stopped saying Gavin’s name. But the sad part was that she was pushing herself too hard to act normal. It’s fine to let the pain linger for a while instead of just hiding it.

The rest of the day was full. I didn’t go for dinner, and neither did Lamar and Lucy. We were all tired, and since we had lunch late, we just went to bed early.

I had gone deep into sleep when I began to hear some whispers. They were the whispers that a distraught person would let out. I yawned and stretched in bed, opening my eyes and sitting up to narrow my eyes at the window in front of me. It was behind Lamar’s bed.

The room was so dark that I could barely see anyone else. However, soon my body began to feel terror when a body fell from the top of the building.

It went down right before my eyes, and I froze in horror.

As I pushed harder and opened my mouth to scream, I heard my voice echo like the entirety of the tenth floor.

“Helanie!” A hand woke me up, making me realize I was sitting in my bed with my mouth wide open and no sound coming out of it.

“Lamar—I saw—someone fall from the floor above ours,” I said, and he frowned, quickly holding a glass of water for me.

“The ninth floor is basically just a rooftop and no one goes there. And there was no one that fell down. You had a nightmare,” he comforted, but I felt so uneasy. I turned my head for some reason to check on Lucy and found her peacefully sleeping in her bed.

“Okay, you need to tell me what is going on with you,” Lamar insisted as he held my purple sweater for me. I wore it but stayed in my bed. He sat down under the same blanket with me.

“It is nothing,” I replied, feeling so vulnerable for keeping so many secrets within me.

“You need to trust someone at least. Tell me,” he insisted again, and I realized he wasn’t going to let me go until I confessed to something at least.

“It is the—” My words got cut off when my phone beeped, and so did Lamar’s and Lucy’s at the same time.

“What is that?” Lamar frowned, matching the notification with mine.

It was a text from Penn to all of us.

I checked the time, realizing it was only 11:35 p.m.

“Why is he sending us a group text?” Lamar opened the text, and so did I.

Penn: Come to the Blue Road.

Lamar and I shared a glance, confused about what he was up to.

“Should we wake up Lucy?” Lamar asked in a whisper.

“I’m already up. You guys were whispering too loud,” Lucy turned in her bed and sighed, picking up her phone and checking the message. Sure enough, she had received the exact same message as us.

“I say we ignore him,” Lamar seemed to be done with the drama.

But I was curious. And rightfully so, because soon Jenny’s message popped up in the group.

Jenny: What do you want from us?

That made me realize she was in the group too. So her brother had asked her to come as well?

I was slightly worried that he was pulling prank on us until I saw Jenny’s message. He could ignore her pain but would never become the cause of it.

“I say we go,” I said, quickly jumping out of my bed once I realized Jenny would definitely go.

“Yeah, we shouldn’t leave her by herself,” Lucy joined, getting up to look for her sweater.

“Okay,” Lamar itched his scalp, yawning instead of getting ready.

“Lamar, don’t fucking delay,” I scolded him. He ran to his bag to grab a hoodie.

In a matter of minutes, all five of us were at the front of the hostel.

“Let’s go,” I said, but I noticed some other students coming out in groups. They were our classmates, and I wondered what was going on. Did Penn plan a party maybe?

We sat in Jenny’s car and soon headed to our destination. I could tell Jenny was extremely worried and anxious as she kept rubbing her palms together.

But Lucy was there for her. She was doing her best to take care of Jenny, which was a good change I noticed. Once the toxic mate bond was over, Lucy had returned to her true self.

But now the issue was Penn.

The car stopped, along with many other cars stopping beside ours. We all got out to see a sight so terrifying that my knees turned weak.

It was Riri and the other girls and boys who had bullied us the other night. They were kneeling on the rough road with their hands behind their heads with Penn and Rayden standing behind them.

The only person missing was Arlo.

“What is going on?” I followed the crowd, watching Riri shake miserably. She was only in her bra and a tiny skirt.

“This bitch thought I was picking her up for some fun time so she came here looking like this for me. I had to set a perfect trap for this bitch.” Hearing Penn use such language was so strange.

“This bitch over here bullied my friends and hurt my sister,” Penn raised his head, making sure we knew why he had been hanging around her.

I never knew he was so full of vengeance in a good way, but I was scared to watch what he had planned for the ones in front of him.
