Guilt gnaws at me. He isn’t wrong, I shouldn’t have let him take the blame and been man enough to stand by his side.
“You’re right.” He pins me with a dry stare. “How did you figure it out?”
“It wasn’t hard. I knew one of you did it because of the calling card that was left. It wasn’t hard to piece it together when I spoke to Sin and we figured out the night shit went down she was with me, that only left you and Havoc. We all know Havoc doesn’t do shit without you, so, therefore, I knew you were the mastermind behind this.”
He isn’t wrong, Havoc doesn’t do anything without me. He and I differ in that aspect. I can branch off and do my own thing. Havoc will just follow whatever I do. He thinks I have no idea that he’s still a virgin. I mean seriously, my twin is nearly twenty-one and still a fucking virgin. The guy is going to wind up getting married in white at the rate he’s going.
“I did what I had to do and I’m not sorry about it either.”
Royal sighs and nods. “It was because of what he tried to do to her, wasn’t it?” I grind my teeth so fucking hard my jaw aches. “You don’t need to answer, the angry glint in your eyes saidyesfor you.”
“Why aren’t you yelling or screaming about it?”
“Because, I know you still love her even when you deny it. He wanted to marry the girl you have always pined after but because of who she is, you can never be with her.”
“I couldn’t watch her marry him. He bragged around campus about what he had planned for her and…” I clamp my mouth closed and scrub my hand down my face in frustration.
“You couldn’t bear the thought of seeing the girl you are in love with marry someone else and know her new last name wouldn’t be yours.” I deflate and nod. “Is he still alive?”
“No.”
Royal’s face drops and resignation shines in his eyes. He and I both know I fucked up but we are family, which means he will help me no matter what.
“Can any of this lead back to us?”
I shake my head. “No.”
“Where’s the body?”
“At the bottom of the ocean with concrete anklets.”
He snorts. “You went old school mob, huh?”
I shrug my shoulders and wink. “What can I say…” We both laugh like girls and it feels nice to finally have my secret out.
“We’ll figure this out. We won’t let them come after our family, Chaos. We will protect our own.”
“Fucking right we will, brother,” I say without an ounce of hesitation.
Havoc
I stand herewith my back against the wall and my window cracked open a bit. I hear everything they say on the roof and it makes me happy to know that Royal isn’t pissed at Chaos for what we did. I mean, he is definitely annoyed but what can he do about it now, the guy is already dead.
I never understood why guys would get all twisted up over a female until Lailani. The girl was like a walking dream—big brown eyes, long brown hair that flowed around her like a cape. She didn’t dress like the other girls in short skirts and crop tops, she covered up and left so much to the imagination that it used to drive me crazy thinking about what she looked like underneath it all. She was the first girl who had captivated my attention without even trying. It’s true what they all say about me. I never do anything for myself. I always put Chaos first, no matter what, except this one time, I wanted to be selfish.
I was finally going to have something for myself. I didn’t care about the consequences, I just wanted her to be mine and she was for a while until he found out. Royal and Chanel think Chaos found her first. He didn’t, I did. I made sure not to tell her I was a twin because I wanted her to want me and not the both of us.
She saw me!
She didn’t see Chaos’s twin or the star QB’s brother, she just saw me for me. She didn’t want me because of the rumors of where I came from, she was real. I fell for her. She was my secret, my selfish little escape from the shadow of my twin. It all went to shit when I had to come home for a few days. I never told her I was leaving. For three days I was an anxious mess to get my ass back to UNLV and see her. The moment I landed, I didn’t go to my brother or my cousins, I went straight to her dorm. The moment I burst through that door and saw her naked beneath Chaos, everything inside me died.
He never said it but I knew at that moment, he did it to make sure she couldn’t take me away from him. She tried to say she never knew he wasn’t me, but I didn’t want to hear it. She knew me. She should have been able to tell us apart even if she didn’t know we were twins. Well, that’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
My phone pings and I know without a doubt that it’s her. She’s the only one aside from my family that has my number. I should have changed it but I’m a sucker for punishment.

You took care of it?
