Chapter 587
Lena sent another message: [Seriously if you hadn't responded in another hour. | was going to call the cops. Do
you even know what was going through my head? | was lowkey convinced Jace had done you in after you know,
having his way with you | had to laugh Lena's imagination was next level. | just hit her with a thumbs-up emoji
Lena: [it's not that crazy. Stuff like that makes the news all the time, you know? Anyway, when are you coming
back? Are you flying htoday? Did Steve win the competition??
| glanced at her barrage of questions, then at my situation, and hit her back with the safest reply | could think of
[Not sure yet]
Lena: [777]
Me: [Might stay here a bit longer. Not sure I'll be back to this place anytsoon]
I didn't want Lena to freak out, so | threw in a little white lie.
Lena: [Alright, live your best life then. Letknow when you're back-Ill throw a mega welcome-back_party. *]
Reading her message, | suddenly felt this weird, heavy feeling in my chest. Like, this irrational fear that | might
not make it back. It hitout of nowhere.
I didn't know where it cfrom, but | couldn't shake it So | sent her a voice note:
"Lena, the password to all my bank accounts is the date my parents passed away. If anything happens to me,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou're in charge of... well, everything. Keep half as, like, my gift for you or whatever, and donate the rest. To
people who need it. Or sick kids. | don't know. You'll figure it out."
No sooner had | hit send than my phone started ringing with a video call from Lena.
| knew she was probably freaking out, so I quickly picked up.
"What do you mean, leaving stuff behind? What is going on? Where are you right now?" Lena's voice was full-on
panicked.
| turned the camera around to show Wayne's massive villa. "See? I'm in a giant mansion, totally safe and
sound."
"Then why are you talking like that? You nearly gavea heart attack," she said, looking way more relieved
now, though she was still in her surgical scrubs. | couldn't tell if she was heading into surgery or just coming out.
"I was just being careful. You were the one who mentioned how crazy things have been lately, and with all these
plane crashes... | figured I'd let you know, just in case..."
"Just in case what?" Lena interrupted. "Turn the camera around so | can see your face."
Guess she wasn't going to relax until she sawfor real.
| flipped the camera to show myself, throwing in a goofy peace sign for extra reassurance.
After a long, serious stare, Lena finally chilled. "If you ever pull something like this again, I'll literally
murder you"
"Go for it." | teased, moving my face closer to the screen
"Out it out. So whose mansion are you staying at? Is it Jace's? Her curiosity was off the charts now. "Nope. It's
Wayne's"
"Oh." Lena sounded totally caught off guard. Then she asked. "Why are you staying at his place?"
| couldn't exactly spill the beans, so | lied. "It's safer here than in a hotel
"Fair point Just don't let Jace get any weird ideas," she said, all smug which deserved exactly one response from
me
"Shut up."
Lena burst out laughing, but then she got all serious. "Hey, you should totally bring han American boyfriend
while you're there."
| knew exactly what she was getting
at-it was her subtleyayof bringin
