Chapter 3

The name on the screen was Brielle Whitmore.

Bree. The campus golden girl, and President Whitmore's niece, from a family with serious money.

I scrolled up through the thread, fast. That was when I found out Colt had been sneaking around with Bree for a long time.

But he'd grown up with me in Merriweather House, and he was scared of what would happen if he just cheated outright. Mama Jo and everyone else would have grilled him. So he'd come up with a plan, get me to be the one who screwed up.

Then he could dump me like it was the most natural thing in the world.

In the chat history, Colt had written,

【In a few days I'll take her to some dead-end park for a trip, and I'll get her to make love in the woods.】

【Then I'll secretly record all of it and post it online.】

【If she asks, I'll say the park's security cameras caught it!】

【By then her reputation will already be garbage! When I break up with her, Mama Jo and everybody will just say they understand and respect my decision!】

【That way I can be with you for good!】

By the time I finished reading, I was ice-cold all over.

I'd always wondered how photos and videos of me ended up online last time. Now I knew. It was Colt and Bree!

They'd planted cameras ahead of time! They just never expected to run into killers, so by some twisted accident they ended up filming my entire assault.

Then they dumped it all online, and let the whole world tear into me and judge me. And Colt got to break up with me like it was the natural thing to do!

A wave of nausea hit me so hard I almost threw up.

Suddenly it felt like having only Colt get passed around by those convicts was letting them off way too easy.

So I made a call. I texted Bree from his phone, 【Miss me? Then get up here! I'll get Wren out of the way in a bit, and you come up the mountain!】

I'd heard Bree's family had a villa a few miles from the canyon. Since they'd planned all this, she had to be staying somewhere close.

I sent another one right behind it, 【Don't you want to come see for yourself how I make Wren suffer? We could even bring some snakes and rats and ants, out here in the middle of nowhere, nobody would ever know.】

Bree wrote back almost instantly, 【You're so evil, and I love it! Coming right now!】

That's right, come on, come on up and get brutalized by a bunch of convicts, right next to Colt!

After I sent it, I checked the tiny camera Colt had hidden by the tent and made sure I could control it from his phone. Then I tossed his phone into my backpack too.

Last, I glanced at Colt, still tied up in front of me, and said with a smile, No, no, babe, you've got to be louder! I'm not in the mood at all yet!"

Colt laughed. "You've got a lot of demands! Wait till I get my hands on you!" Then he got even louder, putting more effort into it.

I tiptoed off in the opposite direction, his voice covering the sound of my footsteps.

I'd heard that in prison, some guys went so long without women that they comforted each other instead.

Last time, they'd turned on me. But this time I'd run early. And I didn't believe for a second that those convicts could look at a man like Colt, gorgeous and completely naked, and not feel something!

Colt had no clue. He was still calling out behind me, "So, babe, are you satisfied yet? When do I get to be satisfied?!"

I swung my backpack onto my shoulders, took one last look at his tight ass, and left him three words, "Don't rush, babe!"

Don't rush. Wait until I've lured the killers over. Threesome, at once! You'll be satisfied, I guarantee it!
