Out of their whole family, Kai Bennett was the most. I’d just known there was an air of mystery around him, and though I’d tried not to be, in a reverse kind of way, I had been the most fascinated with him. She’d been scared of him.īefore, I had only thought she-I didn’t know what I’d thought. She gushed about Tanner, and she adored Jonah. There’d been an uneasiness when Brooke talked about him, or because she wouldn’t talk about him. Thinking back on it now, I realized that’d been the first time I felt afraid of Kai Bennett.
It was brief and gone so quickly, but it stuck deep in me. I saw them shoo the others away until the next class started, and even then, the headmistress had stayed. The headmistress and three other instructors were there, their arms wide, blocking people from coming to us. A few of the classrooms had windows facing where we were so I had no doubt they’d seen us. The bell rang, and I tensed, knowing some of the girls would come out to see what was going on. I’d pulled her into my arms, cleaned off the streaked mascara and tears, and stroked her hair and back. ** This is a 120k full-length standalone.I’d had no idea what would be fine, but I didn’t know what else to say. Brooke left Hillcrest for good, and that was the last time I saw her.įourteen years later, I'm staring at her face on the television. Three months later, her father died, and Kai became the head of the Bennett Family. Her father said accident, but Brooke said murder. They were mafia, and Brooke's oldest brother was dead. He came to our school with their father, and that's when I learned what kind of family Brooke came from. Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams. I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother.
The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why.
There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy.
