Wreck Me (Corrupt Legacy Series #2)

“I’m sure you’re used to more.”

“More is not better,” I reply.

“I hope you will feel at home here.”

“Why are you so nice? The other two seem to be on a personal mission to be grumpy and antagonistic.”

“They’re not always like that… it hasn’t been easy,” she says, then leaves.

I start unpacking, and by the time I go downstairs, Kaden is the only one who isn’t in the living room.

I sit on the curved couch where everyone else sits, the silence becoming unbearable. When the doorbell rings, Hunter goes to open the door and returns with a family-sized pizza. Everyone goes for a slice but me.

“Too ordinary for you, Barbie?” Hunter asks with a gleam.

“I’m afraid it’s poisoned.”

I see him struggle with amusement.

“That would be too nice,” says Celine, staring at my ring.

A sigh rolls out of my mouth when Mia says, “Let’s try to get along, shall we?”

“With the enemy. Typical, sis,” Hunter snickers.

I lose it. “We are the enemies? We’re not the ones sneaking around, sticking our noses everywhere. What were you idiots thinking at the night gala? Wanna get us all killed?”

“So dramatic,” Hunter says.

“Do not give me that condescending attitude. Since you three appeared, all we have done is analyze each other.”

“It has been entertaining, though,” says Blake suggestively, at which Mia blushes a fiery red.

I point at Hunter and say, “You’re one blind and egocentric asshole. You’re on a straight mission to not give a fuck about us that you don’t even care about the implications, and there have been a lot of them.”

Then I move on to Mia. “And you. It was me who bought you the time to return Felix’s phone, just so you know.” Then I switch to Celine. “I expected more from you.”

She glares back at me. “I can’t believe your nerve.”

“Let’s all calm down,” insists Bailey.

“Why doesn’t it surprise me that comes from you, kitten?” Hunter says.

By the time Kaden comes downstairs, even I took a slice of pizza to keep my mouth occupied.

Celine keeps stealing glances at my ring, and Kaden looks at her with so much despair and love—I can relate to that.

Hunter leans back, tapping his thigh while looking at Bailey, who is on her phone. Blake leaves next, and Mia sweeps her gaze over all of us and sighs.

This is torture.

When Kaden stands up, I can’t stay here any longer, either.

I need some fresh air, but outside, I see Kaden getting into his car. Without a second thought, I climb into the passenger seat.

Celine walks out of the house next and drives away as I buckle up.

“I want to be alone,” he grumbles.
