"Hey Skylar, did you miss me?" Skylar's hands began shaking as he began breathing heavily. "Aren't you going to greet me? The last time that I saw you were a few months ago. And I miss your beautiful face."

"Lex? B-but how?" Skylar stuttered.

"Hey Sky, Do you want more eclairs that I-" Roy's smile faded away when he saw the state that Skylar was in. "Who're you talking to?"

"Lex," Skylar mouthed. Roy frowned and snatched the phone out of Skylar's hand.  He put it on speaker.

Lex chuckled. "I almost died after you hit me with that vase on my head. Luckily, someone got me as fast as possible at the hospital. I was in a coma for a few days. And when I woke up, I swore to myself that I'll take you by force. I don't care what you think. You're mine and that's it. I'm not telling you when you'll see me. It could be today or tomorrow. Maybe even over a few months. And when I see you, we'll finish off where we started that day. Goodbye for now, sweetheart." Both Skylar and Roy were staring at the phone screen as Lex hung up. 

Roy felt his blood boil. He stuck his hand out. "I'm taking your phone for a while. Use your spare for now on." Roy glanced at Skylar who was hugging himself. "Skylar? Are you alright?" Roy asked as he put his hand on Skylar's head.

Skylar flinched and fixed his eyes on the ground. "I'm fine, dad." Without looking at Roy, he went upstairs to grab his spare phone. 

Roy stared at his phone. "How is he still alive?"

1 hour later

"What the fuck is this?" Miracle demanded as she shoved her phone into Skylar's face. They all had a free period due to the teacher being sick and were sitting in the cafeteria. "Why haven't we heard about this?"

"I told you already that I didn't have a choice! I was forced to do it!" Skylar exclaimed and pointed at Ashton. "It's his fault that I did it!"

Ashton held his hands up. "I only asked you. You could've said no."

Skylar raised his eyebrow. "You begged me to do it. You even tried to offer me ridiculous things!"

"That wasn't true," Ashton mumbled. "They weren't that pricey."

"Never mind him, but why didn't you tell the rest of us?" Parker cried. "I know that Jumin wouldn't care what you did with your life, but Miracle, Yukine and I do!"

"The pictures came out nice," Yukine complimented.

"I wanted to be there to take my own personal pics!" Miracle shouted. Yukine tried to calm her down. She glared at Ashton. "You better tell me next time. If not..." She slid her index finger horizontally against her neck.

Ashton shuddered and hid behind Skylar. "O-okay." Skylar sighed deeply as he shook his head. They all were quiet.

"What will you do after this?" Jumin asked. "Are you planning on continuing or are you sticking with your job?"

Skylar shrugged. "I don't know."

"Isn't it a bad idea to let your face get plastered around the world?" Jumin questioned. "Imagine if someone recognized you and plans to hunt you down." 

"Too fucking late for that," Skylar thought.

"Then I'll kill them. And I always use different face masks when I work. So the witnesses don't know how I look like. Only the dead people know." Skylar yawned. "But that's my problem," he smiled. His smile immediately disappeared after he said that and he looked around.
