Julian's POV

My mind can't fathom the possibility of Lena ditching Ryder. He's good in the chasing game. I told him to watch his back when he's around her. Am I really the only one that can see through her? I don't like the eerie feeling in my gut. Retrieving my phone from my suitcase, I dialed Ryder's number.

At first, the phone went straight to voicemail but I opted to call Lena instead but her line was busy. Who on earth is she talking to? Then, I decided to call Edward, it took a minute before he picked up. They're all nervous I can see that.

" Sir Leon," he says nervously which I assume is so because Lena eluded them. There has to be an explanation for this.

" Put Ryder on the phone" I drawled not in the mood to argue or yell at him. Lena's absence from the house is my only priority right now.

" Yes sir "

" Leonard, sorry I missed your call. What's up? " His voice sounds calm and forced at the same time. Is he trying to deceive me?

Typical Ryder.
