    "WHERE'S ELIAS?"

    My bottom lip quivered in my mouth, trembling profoundly as I struggled to make sense of the sudden tense atmosphere I suddenly situated myself in. I glanced around at all of them, giving me the anticipating stare they've prolonged for ever since I've walked into the Residence.

    I ran a hand through my hair and let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding in. Then I faced them all with a gloomy face.

    "He got arrested."

    Everyone's jaw drops in shock and they shake their head in bewilderment, as if they didn't want to believe it. I pursed my lips, before strolling towards the middle of where they were all huddled in the kitchen and leaning against the kitchen counter. I frowned at the intense feeling of emotions coming back to me.

    Elias kissed my nose here.

    I tried not to chuckle or even reminisce of that moment. Yes, I wouldn't lie and say that it didn't turn me on even the slightest.

    I mean from a freaking nose kiss. That's just... wow...he's powerful.

    I crossed my arms and watched as the gang all shake their heads at the three words I had blurted to them. I take note of Reeves who was trembling in fear and looked like he was shitting his pants and then he side-glanced Brooke and they both chattered their teeth before looking down.

    I tried not to pry on it and kept my mouth shut as Adonis began muttering shit that didn't even make any sense.

    I mean, these guys are apart of a gang. And Elias is their gang leader. So why the hell should I even be around them?

    And in that sudden moment of frowning at their shocked faces a moment of epiphany had struck me. What if another gang leader is the one hunting me? And for what... what would they gain from hunting me? Do they want to kill, kidnap or even torture me? How serious was this whole 'your life is a lie situation' ?

    And then I did a double-take. My life is a lie. Why the hell did Elias say that? He wasn't lying for sure, I would know since there was an ultimate difference from his childish, happy persona compared to the more ruthless and serious one that I always saw when he was in a bad mood, or even taking on those unnecessary calls during my time of staying here.

    It could be a lie. And maybe these guys are the ones who put me in a lie?

    But maybe, just maybe the gang that's pursuing me could be the ones who are trying to help me?

    So how must I contact that other gang?

    "Derry," Adonis curtly cut my thoughts off.

    I clenched my jaw and gave the japanese boy a frown.

    "What?" I prompted.

    "Who did he get arrested by?" Gilda suddenly asked, standing beside Adonis.
