HIGHWAY

Hate or betrayed?

I cannot choose in between these two what I felt. It felt wrong to hate her after knowing that she was just trying to save me but then I felt betrayed that she was only being good to me because she was saving me for her own good. Same went for Jon, I had no idea if I could hate that guy for helping me but again he didn't seem to have any other option, and I felt a little betrayed as I found him giving me a mind blowing sex right before telling me things to which he wanted me to say yes to the plan.

Every theory changed when I caught Jon looking at me with his soft expression and glint in his eyes like I was his new addiction.

While trying to save me, I was sure, he'd be the death of me.

I walked over to Jon as Janne came out of the other car from the passenger seat. Then the headlights went off and Julian along with Carter stepped out following Janne inside the school building.

Jon did the same so I was left with no option to follow them as well.

Once inside, Janne turned on a light. The room was tiny; it looked more like it used to be some janitor's room. There was nothing but a small table in the middle and the way Janne walked in the dark towards the switch before placing herself across the table gave me the knowledge that this room was frequently used by her for her deals, or deeds.

Rest of us followed suit.

"I hope Jon has told you enough that you are supposed to know"

If I thought for a second that she might not kill me then the way her words were spoken, dark and in a deeper accent,all business type, it only made my fear shoot back right up to the top.

I nodded keeping up a poker face like them, on the inside I was trembling.

I found Jon's hand reaching out for mine and I mentally prepared for myself for whatever she was going to say. with the way Jon was looking at her, all cold and disgusted, made me feel this plan of her was going to be a problem for Jon and me.

"Good. As I told you Jon, we will be leaving for New York soon, before that we need to get to the club where Diana," her eyes flickered between Jon and me "you will help us."

Jon squeezed my hand tightly.

"Diana, you have to go undercover. You will be going as a dancer so that nobody finds out about you. Reece and Brett will be there. Brett is already weak; he has lost his source of power, Antony. And now this second power is Reece. Who you have to keep distracted."

From somewhere my facade must have slipped because she saw how tensed I became 'cause she added "Don't worry I will be there too, so will Julian and Carter. Archer is already with Brett from two days to keep a closer check on him. Brett has been calling me lately, so I had to send someone. You will be safe. You just have to keep Reece company then whenever you find a chance you will slip this drug into his drink."

She extended her hand and Carter slipping a hand in his pocket revealed a white packet, he then threw it over to her. She caught it and then kept it on the table in front of me. I didn't take it just yet.

"And Jon?" I just wanted him nearby. That was all.

"He will be outside with Renzo's men. If he enters, Brett will kill him because now his image is of a traitor. He had injured Reece twice and pissed Brett more than times I can count." Giving a stink eye to Jon, she stated.

"Once Reece takes this drug he will pass out. Not the third source of his power is the person who is incognito. Not really a power though, a threat would be a better word. The person who has been trying to reach Diana. He is the only person who is a threat to us. We don't know if its a guy or girl. We have no information about that person." Janne eyes scanned our faces one by one as if the traitor stood among us. I frowned.
