Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1961

Marion stepped forward, pressing a gun to Solomon's jaw and forcing his head up.

"Where did you come from?" he demanded.

The pressure was suffocating. Solomon couldn't breathe.

This version of Marion was simply awe-inspiring.

I jumped in. "We're not with the Illuminati. We're your fans."

Marion glanced at me. His eyes carried a chilling, murderous intensity that made me shrink.

"High schoolers, huh? Their clothes are weird." Randy inspected our outfits.

Erica, on the other hand, seemed intrigued. "Pretty trendy. How did I miss this brand's new line?"

Solomon and I wore limited-edition fall gear from a well-known brand. She recognized it as she circled us.

"We're not high schoolers," I said. "We're in college."

"Which one?"

"Arcane Academy."

Randy glanced at Debra. "You've got some juniors here."

She graduated from Arcane too, but beyond that, I didn't know much.

She stepped closer. "Last chance. Why are you tailing us?"

"We..." Before I could finish, Solomon cut in. "We heard you guys are badass, so we wanted to pick a fight."

"What kind of logic is that, Uncle Randy?" I argued.

Randy blinked, pointing at himself. "Uncle? Do I look that old?"

I didn't know what to say.

He turned to Debra and said, "Feed them to the sharks."

"They're just kids. Let them go." Debra waved a hand.

The bodyguards untied Solomon and me.

She added, "Don't wander around. The docks aren't safe lately. Go back to school."
