Chapter 39
“Tr…Trey?” Megan stuttered as soon as she saw him at the door.
“Yeap! That’s me!” He answered proudly, with so much
excitement, making Megan wonder why he suddenly showed
up there.
“What are you doing here?” She asked, still shocked.
“What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious?” He asked, shrugging.
“That what?” She asked him, getting a bit uncomfortable.
I came to see Steve, of course.” He replied, rolling his eyes at her.
“Did he tell you…” She suddenly paused and rephrased her question. “Did he know you were coming?” She asked him again.
“Well, not exactly.” He answered, raising an eyebrow.
“So? Why are you here?” She inquired.
“I tried calling him but I couldn’t reach him and so I came here,
regardless.” He replied and blinked multiple times before
speaking again, “Wait, what are all these questions for? Can you
move out of the way? I need to go in.” He said, looking a bit
WH Chapter 39
offended, but Megan refused to move out of the way.
“Steve is not in. Maybe you can come back some other time.” She said, ensuring her body was properly blocking the entrance so that Trey wouldn’t be able to go in, neither will he be able to see
anything.
“What?! Why should I come back some other time when I can
just wait inside until he gets back?” He asked, furrowing his
brows.
“I’m sorry, but nope, you can’t wait inside for him.” She refused.
“What is wrong with you? Why are you so territorial? This isn’t
even your house.” He said, almost yelling at her.
“Neither is it yours!” She snapped at him.

Trey was their ‘not–so–close‘ friend. Although they all grew up
together, and we’re closer when they were younger. Trey had
now become a lot more different from who they used to know
him as. He used to be someone who was worth emulating but
now, he was the complete opposite. He began to change as they
grew older and Steve was quick to notice and so he decided to
distance himself from him so that he wouldn’t influence him
negatively.
H
He was funny, selfish and covetous. To cap it all, he had a loud

WA
mouth and loved to womanize. He was always caught up in one
mess after another and he always got away with it. This was one
of the many reasons why Steve didn’t really like him anywhere
around him and made him not so close to Trey.
With him in Steve’s house at that moment, Megan knew it was
going to be problematic. She hoped greatly that Steve would be
back soon before Trey suspected anything but she hadn’t even
had time to think too much when he suddenly spoke again.
“I’m beginning to think you’re hiding something.” He suddenly
said to Megan who was taken aback by his words.
“Wh…What do you mean by that? She stuttered as she
responded.
“With the way you’re stuttering, I think I’m right. What are you
hiding?” He said confidently.
“You must be out of your mind to think I’ll answer. I don’t
answer to you, take your leave immediately.
“I’m not leaving here until I go in and see what you’re hiding.” He
said and attempted to go into the house but Megan stood her
ground and refused to allow him entry.
“There’s nothing to see here. Steve is not in. Just leave!” She
shouted at him but he refused.
Chapter 39
“If you’re sure Steve is not in and you’re not hiding anything, get
out of my way and let me check it out myself. If he isn’t in, I’ll
leave.
She snickered and said, “You must be a clown, if you think I’ll let
you go into someone else’s house when the person isn’t in. Why
the hell are you looking for him?” Megan shouted at him.
“It’s none of your business. Get out of my way before I drag you
out this instant.” She snapped at her.
“You wouldn’t dare! You wouldn’t try it.” She said, confidently.
“You’ll watch me as I drag you aside and go in right now if you
don’t get out of my way.” He threatened once again but Megan
was determined not to let him in.
She couldn’t let him in, not because Steve wasn’t but because if
he found out that Steve was harboring a stranger in his house, it
was going to be a very great disaster. The whole pack would
hear of it and this could put, not only Steve, but including her
and Veronica, in big trouble.
This was something she wasn’t going to allow to happen, so she
was ready to fight Trey, if worse comes to worse and if there is a
need to. Anything to prevent him from going into the house, she
was ready to do it.
Chapter 39
“I don’t want to believe that Steve has become so cowardly that he’ll send you, a female, to face me. So, he can’t face me by himself.” He said and laughed mockingly, thinking that Steve was not confident enough to face him and was sending Megan
to him instead.
“Just keep that mouth of yours shut and leave here. I have
already told you that Steve isn’t here. What else do you want?”
She yelled.
“And I said I won’t leave until I have checked inside the house
and confirmed that he truly isn’t in. You think you can fool me? Nah, it won’t work.” He said, and laughed again, making Megan
frustrated.
Hearing all that was going on outside the house and how Trey was adamant, Veronica became scared because she realized that the person outside was not ready to back off. He was so
determined to come in that he was willing to push Megan out of
the way.
She began to look around, searching for any place which could serve as a hiding place for herself in case Trey came in and
began to search the whole place.
Fortunately, she was able to move around because of the drugs
Megan had given to her earlier.
Chapter 39
She thought about hiding in the bathroom but she felt it was a
plain sight,
“Anyone who comes in here will see me immediately.” She thought to herself.
“What if I lock the bathroom door from inside?” She asked herself but immediately shook her head as if disagreeing with herself. “That would raise suspicions. I can’t do that.” She thought to herself again.
“Get out of my way!” Trey said as he pushed Megan aside and she immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground.
“Just look at you. You have no strength, yet you want to face me.” He snickered and then opened the door.
While Veronica was still hurriedly looking for the perfect spot to hide, she heard the sound of the handle of the door as it made
a creaking sound.
“Someone was coming in.” She thought to herself as she
immediately held her breath and covered her mouth with her
hands as she froze in a corner of the room.
As Trey was about to take a step into the house when a voice
stopped him,
“What the hell is going on here?” It was Steve’s deep voice from
Chapter 39
behind them and Megan immediately sighed in relief while Trey
stared at him in shock.
