Chapter 42

The butler was dressed in all black, he brought a fancy food trolley and set down the plates with tea. There was a glass stand with 3 tiers, one of them had cupcakes, the other had small tea cakes and the top most one had macarons.

My mouth was watering and I pursed my lips to stop myself from drooling.

“Please, help yourself.” He waved to the food.

I ponder with suspicion.

“If I wanted to poison you, I would have done it while you were unconscious.” He assured me.

That’s some assurance alright!

“Can I have some cold coffee instead? I don’t really drink tea.” I shrug. If I’m here, might as well dig in right?

“Right away.” The butler gave a little bow and headed back to the kitchen.

Impressive. I nod slowly, slightly impressed with the way things worked here.

They are living in a completely different world from me, aren’t they? I can’t imagine living like this. I mean, I didn’t have a bad life by any means. My parents always made sure I had everything I needed, of course. H

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Screams and Shadows

    The day had started innocuously enough. Dani had cornered me in the cafeteria with her usual mix of hyper energy and scheming mischief.“Hazel!” she hissed, eyes gleaming like she’d just discovered a secret treasure. “We have to go watch this new ghost movie tonight. It’s like…peak horror. People are losing it.”I raised an eyebrow. “Peak horror, huh? And what exactly does that mean? Are we talking mild jump scares, or someone screaming and fainting in the theater?”Dani waved her hand dramatically. “Oh, come on. You know you love screaming in terror, don’t lie. And Taranis is coming. You have to see him scared.”I groaned, but I could already feel the spark of excitement. Part of me wanted to pretend to act all nonchalant and brave, and part of me knew this would be a perfect opportunity to see Taranis squirm a little too.Taranis had a ridiculous grin on his face when we met up outside the campus gates. “Hazelnut,” he greeted me, using that irritatingly familiar nickname that always

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Queen of college

    Dani leaned so close to me at our cafeteria table that her hair practically dipped into my fries. “This is it,” she whispered like she was revealing the answer key to the universe. “The moment of triumph.”I raised an eyebrow. “By posting a picture?”“Not just a picture,” she corrected, wagging her finger. “The picture. Hazel, this is the best way to assert dominance and show everyone—especially Angela—that Taranis is yours and no one else’s.”I sighed, pushing my tray away. “I don’t know if this is revenge. Revenge is like…throwing fake blood on her in the middle of class. Or shaving her eyebrows while she sleeps.”Dani gave me the most unimpressed stare. “That’s messy. This is classy. Trust me, subtle humiliation lasts longer.”Her phone was already out, fingers tapping furiously as she drafted a post on my account like she’d been waiting for this day her whole life. I tried to snatch it back, but she hissed like a cat and pulled away.“Fine,” I muttered. “But if this backfires, you

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Meeting in the hallway

    The classroom smelled like chalk dust and instant coffee, and my brain was doing that thing where it refused to focus on whatever dry history lecture the professor was droning about. Instead, my attention kept drifting to the idiot sitting next to me—Taranis, tapping his pen against his notebook like he was playing some private drum solo.I nudged him with my elbow. “You’re going to summon demons if you keep tapping like that.”He tilted his head, flashing me that infuriating grin. “Maybe I’m trying to. Couldn’t be worse than this lecture.”I stifled a laugh behind my hand, but the professor’s eyes snapped toward us anyway, sharp as a hawk.“Taranis. Hazel” His voice carried across the room. “Am I interrupting your class?”Heat shot up my neck, and Taranis smirked like he lived for this kind of trouble. “Not at all, sir. We were just… discussing historical context.”The professor narrowed his eyes. “I highly doubt your conversation had anything to do with context.”I tried to bite bac

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Funeral

    The morning felt wrong the second I opened my eyes. The kind of wrong that sat in your stomach like a stone, heavy and cold, before your brain even caught up to why. Then it hit me again: Aria’s funeral.I didn’t want to move. Didn’t want to breathe. If I stayed perfectly still, maybe I could trick myself into thinking it wasn’t real. But the clock kept ticking, the sunlight kept slanting in through the blinds, and my chest kept rising and falling, stubbornly alive while hers never would again.A soft knock on my door broke the silence. “Hazelnut?” Taranis’s voice, low and careful, like he already knew I was on the edge of shattering.I swallowed, wiped my eyes with the back of my hand, and croaked, “Yeah?”He pushed the door open, leaning against the frame. His hair was messy, like he hadn’t even tried to fix it yet, and his eyes lingered on me for a moment before he crossed the room. He crouched in front of me, resting one hand on my knee.“We’ve got to get ready,” he said. “But… we

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Jealousy

    We stopped by Leo’s apartment to grab a few things and then we were on our way to the campus. It was no longer in lock down but Aria’s room was still closed for now. They had given Dani a temporary room by shifting a bed in one of the non functional storage rooms. It sounds worse than it really was, the room was big enough. It wasn’t so bad. After the investigation is thoroughly complete and the room is all cleaned up, Dani could move back in. I don’t think she wanted to. If she had an option she would bolt from there the first second she could get. But living off of campus would be unnecessarily expensive.Since there is a vacancy..They offered me. They offered me to move in with Dani since I was so opposed to having a boy roommate. On one hand I don’t want Dani to suffer by herself and on the other, the thought of moving into that room scares me. I know it would be much worse for her, which is why I was confused.I sigh.“Can’t I just stay here and.. not move.” I mumble.“Do you th
