"Guys!" Theo rushes into the room. "You have to hide now!"
"What's going on?" I quickly stand up.
"Guards" Divian frowns
"What?" I feel my heart drop. "I have to wake Jaxon up"
I run out of the room and enter Asher's bedroom. "Jaxon wake up" I shake him.
"Scarlett?" he says grumpily.
"Hey it's a emergency" I whisper.
"What? Emergency?" He sits up and rubs his eyes.
"Ga-
He covers my mouth when we hear the front door open.
"Children!" Grace runs up to us. "Thank God everyone is here"
"Grace" I say in relieve as I run over to her room with Jaxon.
"As soon as I saw guards outside, I rushed home. Scarlett, Jaxon and you? Need to stay here" she says as she takes off her scarf.
"It's Divian" he says
"Sorry dear, Divian, Scarlett and Jaxon. You need to stay here" She tells us firmly.
"But what if-
"No, if anything happens, I will handle this" she says cutting me off.
"But-
"Do you trust me Scarlett?" She asks me and everyone looks at me.
"Uh I- Yes I do"
"Than let me handle this okay?" She smiles and pats.
"Mum I trust you too but are you sure about this?" Asher steps into the conversation.
"Asher, I have been through worst, this is nothing" She pats his back. " Now, take care of Scarlett"
"O-okay" He says in defeat.
"oh yeah, Theo, take care of Divian. You guys take care of each other okay?" She tells us before leaving the room.
I feel nervous all off a sudden and anxiety causing my hands to shake. I sit back down on the bed and squeezed my hands together.
"It's going to be okay" Asher grabs my tiny hands in his, comforting me. I nod.
I hear Theo sigh and storm out of the room. "Theo seems angry?"
"Uh I'll talk to him" Divian quickly runs after him.
"Don't worry, his just moody because of the situation"
"Oh"
Theo's POV
As much as things took a turn again, I can't stand seeing Scarlett and Asher that close.
"Theo"
"What?" I snap
"Uh" Divian scratches his head and bites his lip.
I slap my forehead. I didn't meant to shout. "Sorry"
"it's okay, I'm sure most of us are feeling very pressured now. I get it" he smiles. "Um" His voice breaks the silence that was in the air for a moment. " So are we stuck here?"
"I guess so, we can't go out because they may see you" I say
"Right" he nods.
"Dammit" I mumble as I feel some sense of anger rising in me.
"Are you okay?" Divian comes closer to me.
"It's nothing" I wave my hand and sit on the couch. I'm feeling so restless. Asher's words also won't go out of Mine. "She is mine"
