Ashton's POV

"You shouldn't have treated her so  bad Ashton." My best friend of six years scolds me. We have been friends since junior, now we are in third year of Versity. He's been working for my father since last year.

I don't even know how he balances his grades and work on his life scale. I think some people just love living independently and Andre is one of them. Seeing is how well off his family is and he still prefers providing for himself.

I'm currently feeling some type of way. Why is Andre defending her? He's never done that with any girl I complained about. Does he like her?

He shouldn't like her. I only sent him over there to check on Stew by pretending to be a delivery boy. Yeah, I am stalking Shallo. Her moves. What she does. I have my father's men watching her every move. I hope it doesn't make me a psycho. I could have asked Andre to stalk Shallo, 'Cause he works as my father's spy, but I do not want anyone judging me. 

"Wouldn't you have fed my dog if I have given it to you?" I nod, my brows  cocked.

"That's your dog Andre."

"Well, Shallo probably has a heart. That she would feed a hungry dog on the street. And you know one more thing, her boyfriend died saving you?"

"Jake was her boyfriend??" Bombshell!! I never knew Jake was her boyfriend. You never asked Ashton.

My mind replays the scene of the night Jake was terribly shot.

He took me out of the little dungeon on the third floor I was kept. He shielded me as we tried to escape the abandoned old house.

The house had five floors and we were walking down the second floor before I knew it I felt warm liquid on my bare arm. It was excruciating. Jake had been shot a couple of times at his back. The killer must have had his gun on soundproof, I barely heard anything.

Andre shot Jake's killer a few times too. I knelt down next to Jake who was bleeding profusely. His blood looks a little bit strange. I knew he wasn't going to make it because he had lost a lot of blood. I search the pockets of his blood soaked pants, pulling out his black iPhone 8 and a tiny silver locket. I placed the jewellery in his hand and he tightened his grip on it. Andre pulled me up dragging me out of the old house. I couldn't stop thinking about Jake.

He was still breathing when Andre took me away. I informed my father's men to take him to the hospital, in hopes of saving his life. I unlocked Jake's phone which to my surprise didn't have a finger print or password. He was probably in a relationship. 'Rules'.

I went through his contacts and came across a number saved as 'Irmãzinha'. It must be his sister's number. I handed it over to Marcelo, one of my father's most trusted man. I told him to call the number and inform her about Jake.

I shook my head back to reality.

"Are you even listening?" What did he say that I didn't hear? Great.

"Yeah, go on."

"Like I said. I did as you told me by delivering the pies to her place yesterday though it's not part of my job. She told me about her and Jake and she was all sweet like everything was fine." My mind drifts back to what happened back at the mall.

I might have gone too far. I didn't even know she was going through Jake's death. How am I even going to talk to her and apologise? She hates me now.

"Did you tell her stuff about me?" I shoot him a concerned look.

"I asked about Stew and she ended up asking me how I knew him. And I told her, he's yours. It's not a big deal Ashton. She told me stuff too." Whatever. I probably won't be seeing her ever again.

"Maybe I should apologise." I say more to myself. Not sure if he heard me. Okay that... that is new to me. I've  never apologised to anyone. Why is Shallo different?

"Should I arrange security for you? You are resuming school tomorrow!"

"Are we going to school or on camp?" I ask Andre who is only doing his job. He shrugs waiting for me to answer.

I walk past him heading to my room. I motion my hand to him to follow me.

"I'll be fine. I don't need people around me and attract  unnecessary attention . I'm sure you can do that. People only know you as my bestfriend. Not my dad's spy."

"I don't know if your fa-" I cut him off.

"I'll talk to him Andre, don't worry about it."

We spend the whole day talking about random things. My attention was more on Shallo. I know I can drive to her place and apologise but the fact that she said she hates me didn't allow me to. I need to apologise before leaving.
