CHAPTER 150

~Valerie's POV~

A voice screamed my name, and before I could answer, another voice followed sharply. Then a last, loud and clear. 

"Vi, you in here?"

My eyes widened. I stared at the ceiling, debating whether I should leap out the window or fake a coma.

Instead, I just… face-palmed.

"What the actual fuck," I muttered. "Is this a harem meeting I missed the memo for?" I said louder, glaring at all three of them now crowding my room like it was some kind of royal visitation.

Axel looked sheepish.
