Chapter 60: fuck buddies
The game hunt soon began and each and everyone was assigned a partner. Unfortunately, Patricia didn’t get to see her best friend before the hunt started, but Syres told her she was partnered with the Orlandos’ first son. Prior to the game hunt, Roman gave her an update of the names of the families on board. They included: The Blackthorns, The Carters, The Orlandos, The Graymoors, The Thornwells, and the Iron Hart.
Having to memorize their names one by one was beyond her, but if she remembered clearly, the first son of the Orlandos looked like a decent man.
"She would be fine," Syres assured, jolting her out of her thoughts as he stretched out his hands for her to retrieve.
Looking down at his hands, she shook her head and helped herself cross over a fallen tree, ignoring him like he wasn’t with her.
"For how long will you ignore me?" Syres asked, smiling as he picked up her pace.
"For as long as we are on that yacht. If you won’t stay away, I will stay away myself," Patricia responded, not even as much as glancing back at him. Syres held her back by grabbing her wrist, and she struggled to free herself from him, but he was too strong for her, so she turned to face him with a glare.
"Do you really think Roman loves you just because he is acting like it now?" Syres inquired, and though she was curious as to what he meant, she decided not to fall for Syres’s words. She knew she could not trust Roman, but if not trusting Roman meant she had to trust Syres, then she would rather not trust both.
Clearly, Syres approached her because of his past with Roman. Nothing good would come out of involving herself with him.
"What about you? What is your reason for approaching me? Is it truly about making me yours or is there a hidden intention behind it, a past between you and Roman?" Fed up, she turned her body to face him properly and inquired, and she saw it...that hesitation in his gaze.
