“You’ll what?” I retort, standing my ground. “Kill me?”
He marches to me but stops mere inches away from my face. “Don’t give me a reason, Nathan.”
“I never thought a girl would get between us,” I say under my breath.
“And I never thought you’d be so careless about the only thing that kept her bound to us.”
“What do you mean?” Milo asks.
“We made a deal with her to safeguard her secret, and now it’s all out in the open.” He grinds his teeth. “There’s nothing left to stop her from running.”
“Yes, there is,” Milo says, making a fist. “Us.”
“She hates me now,” I say. “There is no us.”
“No, you’re right,” Kai says. “There is no us. But there isme.”
He narrows his eyes, staring me down like he means to tell me I no longer matter.
That I’ve forfeited my spot in this society over this mishap.
My fists ball. “I didn’t fucking do it.”
“Then who the fuck did because they were only on your fucking laptop?” Kai retorts, getting up in my face.
“Guys, don’t fight. Please.” Milo tries to squeeze between us, to no avail.
“Did you take the laptop out of this house?” Kai grits.
“It’s my school laptop, but I always take it wherever I go,” I say. “I just brought it to the library, and …” My eyes travel away from his as terror slowly sinks into me. “Oh God.”
Kai grips my collar. “What?”
I avert my eyes, lost in my memories, drowning in the hatred bubbling to the surface. “Caleb was there. When I got the phone call from my mom, I told him to watch my stuff.”
Kai’s nostrils flare. “Caleb? From that Tartarus House?”
“His ex,” Milo mutters, putting his hand in front of his mouth.
“He was chatting me up. I thought he was just trying to be friends again,” I say between thoughts.
Kai’s jaw tenses before he finally releases me. “You think he stole them and shared them with everyone?”
“Who else could it have been?” Milo asks. “I would never share those pictures myself. I treasure them. And I know Nathan does too.”
But I’m not listening to anything they’re saying anymore because of the fire raging in my body. “I’m gonna kill him.”

I slamboth fists onto the Tartarus House. “CALEB. SHOW YOUR FUCKING FACE!”
“Maybe it’d help if you ring the doorbell?” Milo says, casually pushing the button.
I keep ramming my fists onto the wood until the pain reverberates in my arms. But it’s still not enough to quell the rage inside my heart.
He did this. It has to have been him. No one else had access to my laptop. I carry it with me everywhere I go. The only exception was that one fucking phone call.
When I stop, Milo rings the doorbell again.
