A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 128:Chris
The quiet rhythm of machines filled Ryan’s hospital room, broken only by the occasional shuffle of Ella adjusting something on his bedside table. Ryan leaned back against the pillows, his skin still pale but holding a trace of warmth that hadn’t been there two days ago. Daniel sat close angled toward him, his posture casual but his attention fixed. Adrien hadn’t left either; though he kept more to the background now, his arms folded his eyes never leaving Ryan’s face.The fragile balance between them was interrupted by a knock on the door. It wasn’t Ella’s light tap or Adrien’s heavy step it was brisk, hesitant.“Come in, Ella called softly.The door opened and in walked a man whose presence shifted the atmosphere immediately Chris.He looked older than Ryan remembered him in his fragmented flashes of memory, though those flashes were blurred and incomplete. Tall, dark haired with a sharp jaw, his eyes softened the moment they landed on Ryan. His expression raw worry mixed with dis
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 127: Not Now
The silence in the hospital room carried a strange weight, heavier than any machine hum or footsteps in the hall. Adrien stood by the wall, half in shadow, his fists clenched at his sides. His chest felt hollow, raw, like someone had scooped out everything he was and left him standing there only to watchHe had thought the hardest moment would be waiting for Ryan to wake up. He was wrong The hardest moment was this watching Ryan’s eyes light up not for him, but for someone else.Daniel sat beside the bed now, leaning forward just enough to catch Ryan’s attention without seeming overbearing. His voice was soft, careful, threaded with the easy warmth of familiarity. “You remember our science teacher, Mrs. Carter? The one who hated us sitting together because we’d laugh too much in class?”Ryan chuckled faintly, though it came out more like a wince. The smile on his face still made Adrien’s throat tighten. “She threw that eraser at you once. Said you were the worst influence .”Daniel l
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 126: Shattered Memories
The steady beeping of machines was the first sound Ryan heard when consciousness began to push its way back into him. His throat was dry, his body heavy, as if he had been asleep for a century. For a long agonizing moment, he didn’t open his eyes afraid of what waited on the other side of the dark.Then a trembling voice broke through.“Ryan? Ryan can you hear me?”He forced his eyes open The world swam blurred at the edges until the white ceiling above sharpened into focus. He blinked the harsh light burning his vision. Slowly, his gaze drifted sideways and landed on a familiar face.“Ella…” His voice was cracked, hoarse. But he remembered her. The relief that flooded her expression was immediate and overwhelming. Tears slipped down her cheeks as she reached for his hand.“Oh my God, thank you,” she whispered, pressing her lips to his knuckles. “You’re awake You scared me half to death.”Ryan frowned, trying to sit up but pain flared through his ribs. He winced, sinking back against
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 125: Strange Accidents
Ryan rubbed his eyes as he closed his laptop the faint glow of his office screen casting one last reflection across the tidy desk. It was late later than he had planned, but the thought of dinner with Adrien was enough to keep him energized. He leaned back in his chair, staring briefly at his phone. A message lit up the lock screen.Adrien: Don’t be late I’ve been looking forward to this all day.Ryan’s lips curled into a small smile. Adrien’s texts always had that effect on him simple, to the point, but carrying the weight of something deeper. Ever since their relationship had finally solidified, Adrien had been more open, less guarded and Ryan could sense the relief beneath his words. Tonight was supposed to be special. Adrien had chosen the restaurant, one tucked away from the noise of the city, a place where they could breathe without judgment.Ryan grabbed his jacket and stepped out into the hallway. His coworkers had already left; the corridors were quiet, the hum of fluorescen
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 124: Temptation
The evening air was thick with the scent of damp earth after rain, the city still humming with traffic and distant laughter, but Ryan’s focus was narrowed to the man walking beside him. Daniel had insisted they grab coffee just the two of them something they hadn’t done in weeks. Ryan hadn’t seen harm in it Daniel was, after all his oldest friend. But there was something different tonight. Daniel wasn’t filling the silence with casual jokes nor was he distracted by his phone. He was quieter his eyes unreadable as they slipped into the half-lit park, coffee cups in hand. Ryan,” Daniel started, his voice lower than usual. “Can I ask you something… personal? Ryan slowed studying him. He already knew what direction this was heading. For years, Daniel had been a steady presence loyal, sometimes overprotective, sometimes jealous in ways Ryan pretended not to notice. “Go on,” Ryan said gently. Daniel exhaled sharply, like he’d been holding this in for too long. “Do you ever wonder…
A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 123:Tension in the dark
The night air pressed heavy against the windows a velvet blackness broken only by the muted glow of the city lights in the distance. Adrien lay on his back, staring at the ceiling of their bedroom one arm bent beneath his head. The silence between him and Ryan wasn’t hostile but thick weighted with things unsaid fears unspoken.Ryan turned his head on the pillow watching Adrien’s tense profile. His partner’s jaw was set, lips pulled tight, and even in the faint light Ryan could see the fatigue shadowing his eyes.“You’re thinking about him again,” Ryan whispered.Adrien’s gaze didn’t move from the ceiling. “I can’t help it. He’s been quiet for too long My father doesn’t know how to stay silent unless he’s planning something. It’s like ” His voice cracked slightly, and he let out a sharp exhale. “ like we’re just sitting here waiting for him to strike.Ryan shifted closer resting his palm over Adrien’s chest feeling the rapid thud of his heartbeat beneath. “You’ve stood up to him Adrie
