Chapter 24 

Dad’s back stiffen before he swiftly turns around to  face me. His brows almost to his hairline as he  regards me in shock. I couldn’t blame him, I never  got into trouble, never caused it either. 

But now hearing that his well mannered daughter  was the cause of a fight that involved her brother  was definitely not something he heard everyday.  Mom leaves the boys and walks over to me. Her  eyes portray worry as she brings me to her side. 

The tears I blinked away a second ago now flowed  freely, coating my cheeks with moisture. I sniffled  as mom pulled me more into her embrace. “I’m so  sorry daddy, I’m so sorry.” I cried as mom 

shushed me, brushing her hand down my lengthy  tresses. 

“It’s all my fault, I did something stupid at the  party and I’m now paying for it. It’s not Arden’s  fault, it’s mine, he was just protecting me like he  usually does.” I said hoarsely. Dad’s eyes soften  drastically before walking over to me. 

“Mind telling us what you did Ashley?” Dad asked  gauging for a reaction from his question. 

Arden groans loudly, gaining everyone’s attention.  “Dad leave her be, it’s not like she murdered  anyone.” He rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and  leaned back on the wall. 

“Yeah like you almost had done?!” Dad retorts, not  at all pleased. He then brings his attention back to  me. “What did you do to cause a fight between  Arden and his cla*smate?” 

Arden snorts, yet again disturbing the conversation  with his blunt indifference. “Dad you really need to  relax the guy’s not dead.” He says boredly blowing  out a fake yawn. 

“Arden enough of your nonsense, you need to  understand that what you did was wrong, stop 

acting like you did a good thing!” Dad hissed  turning to glare at him.
