Chapter 11- What Refuses To Stay Buried

last update publish date: 2026-04-18 02:36:16

Ethan POV

Three years.

It didn’t sound like much when people said it out loud.

Just a number.

Just time.

But in a place like this—where nothing truly died, where rumors clung to walls and people carried stories like weapons—

Three years meant something different.

It meant the truth had rotted.

Twisted.

Changed shape depending on who was telling it.

And yet—

Some things never changed.

Like the name they always whispered when his came up.

Belle.

Ethan didn’t believe in rumors.

Not really.

  • Bad boy's obsession    Chapter 16- It Knows Me

    Belle’s POVThe note didn’t move.I don’t know why I expected it to.Maybe because everything else had stopped making sense.Maybe because a part of me still believed this would unravel if I looked at it long enough—like the words would shift, rearrange, turn into something harmless.They didn’t.Stop digging.Two words. Simple. Clear.Deliberate.I read them again.And again.Each time, they felt heavier. Not louder. Not sharper. Just… heavier. Like they were settling deeper into the room. Into me.My fingers tightened around the edge of the paper.“Digging into what?” I whispered.The question didn’t sound like mine.It sounded small. Uncertain.Like I already knew the answer and didn’t want to say it out loud.My eyes moved slowly to the diary.It hadn’t changed.Not at first glance.Still open. Still quiet. Still pretending to be nothing more than ink and paper.But that wasn’t true anymore.It hadn’t been true for a while.I placed the note down carefully. Not because I was calm—

  • Bad boy's obsession    Chapter 15- The Thing I Can't Mention

    Belle’s POV:Something followed me home.I don’t know when it started.That’s the problem.If I could trace it—pin it down to a moment, a sound, a step—I could convince myself it was real.Or convince myself it wasn’t.But it didn’t begin like that.It didn’t begin at all.It just… was.Like it had always been there, and I was the one who arrived late to notice it.I didn’t remember leaving the cemetery.Not clearly.There were pieces—fragments that refused to settle into something whole.The sound of gravel under my shoes.The cold that didn’t feel like weather.The way the air pressed too close, like it was watching me instead of surrounding me.And then—Nothing.Just the next thing.My room.My door closing.My back against it.My breath too loud in the quiet.I stared at my hands for a long time.They didn’t look different.No shaking. No blood. No sign that anything had happened at all.But something had.I knew it.Not in a way I could explain.Not in a way I could prove.Just

  • Bad boy's obsession    Chapter 14- The First Crack

    Mason’s POV Night didn’t fall gently. It never did. It crept in like something unwelcome—slow, deliberate, swallowing the last traces of daylight until the world felt quieter than it should. Mason stood by the window, unmoving. The city stretched beneath him in scattered lights and distant noise, but up here It didn’t reach. Nothing did. That was the point. His fingers rested lightly against the glass, not pressing, not tense. Just… there. Still. Controlled. Always controlled. But his thoughts They weren’t. She went back. The words hadn’t been spoken out loud. They didn’t need to be. They lingered anyway, heavy in the silence of the room. Because it wasn’t a question. It wasn’t a guess. It was fact. Belle had gone back to the one place she was never supposed to return to. And somehow That changed everything. Mason’s jaw tightened slightly. Not enough for anyone to notice. But enough. Because that place— It wasn’t just a cemete

  • Bad boy's obsession    Chapter 13- Where The Dead Listens

    Belle POVShe didn’t remember leaving the school.Not the hallway.Not the doors.Not the moment her feet carried her past the gates.One second she was there—surrounded by whispers, suffocating under memories that refused to stay buried—And the next—Silence.Real silence.The kind that didn’t belong in crowded spaces.The kind that lived in places people avoided.Places like this.---St. Paul Cemetery.It stretched farther than most people realized.Rows of headstones lined uneven paths, some straight and polished, others tilted with time, names fading into stone as if even memory had abandoned them.The sky above was dull.Clouds thick, unmoving.The air—Still.Too still.Belle walked between the graves without hesitation.Like she knew exactly where she was going.Like her body remembered something her mind refused to touch.Her steps were quiet against the dry ground.Measured.Controlled.Always controlled.Until—She stopped.---A specific spot.Not marked differently.Not

  • Bad boy's obsession    Chapter 12- The Things They Don't Say

    Ethan POVThe hall didn’t look like a place meant for grief.It was too polished.Too arranged.Too… intentional.Rows of chairs stretched across the floor, lined with careful precision. White cloth draped over each one like someone had tried to soften the reality of what this was. At the front, a long table stood beneath dimmed lights, covered in candles that flickered quietly, their flames steady despite the weight in the air.And at the center—A picture.Framed.Smiling.Frozen in a moment that no longer existed.Ethan stood near the back, arms loosely crossed, shoulder resting against the wall. He hadn’t planned to come.Didn’t really care for things like this.Memorials always felt… performative.Like people gathered to prove they felt something, whether they did or not.But this—This wasn’t about grief.Not entirely.It was about answers.Or rather—The lack of them.Voices filled the room in low murmurs. Not loud enough to be disrespectful. Not quiet enough to be sincere.“Th
