DAVINA

The clock on the wall ticks with an annoying rhythm, like it's counting down the seconds to something inevitable. My leg bounces impatiently, heart racing. I try to convince myself it’s just about my sister the chance to finally find her. But the truth? My chest is a mess.

I didn’t think I’d be back in this house so soon. Yet here I am, sitting on the floor of the Midnight House, surrounded by guys who’ve confessed they’re in love with me. Well, Gutemberg hasn’t said it out loud, but Aaron planted the idea in my head and now I can’t shake it.

And how could I?

Gutemberg... Ghost. He hasn’t spoken to me since the last time I was here, and he’s been silent since I arrived again. But his gaze weighs on me every time we cross paths. Like now.

He’s sitting on the couch, legs apart, a laptop balanced between them. The blue light from the screen reflects off his serious face, brows furrowed. He’s wearing a white shirt, hair slicked back. He smells nice, looks put together like he got

  • Bound by vengeance   Chapter 79

    DAVINAThe taste of cigarettes and anger floods my mouth as Gutemberg holds me with the force of his hands, his fingers pressing urgently into the back of my neck. I try to pull away, but he's relentless.The sound of ragged breathing and the presence of a female figure momentarily distract me. Pryia is standing at the door, her eyes blazing with rage and accusation."Traitor!" she explodes, her voice sharp and full of venom.She rushes toward me, pointing a trembling finger, her accusation still hanging in the air. Her expression is one of pain and fury, as if the truth she believed in had been ripped away. Pryia turns to Timmy, who’s standing by the door. Her eyes lock on him."And you? Are you going to do something?" she asks, pointing at him with an accusatory finger. "Weren’t you the one who said you liked Davina? The one who told me to get back together with Gutemberg?"A thick tension fills the air.The look Timmy shoots at Gutemberg is full of challenge, a silent duel neither

    DAVINAMy fingers tighten around my clothes as I try to process what’s happening. What could I do? He’s right: this is about power, and right now, he has it all.“You’re insane,” I spit out, my voice laced with contempt.“But here’s the thing, Davina. It’s not just about me anymore. There are big names involved people you don’t want to piss off. Pryia became a liability.” He takes another drag from his cigarette, exhaling smoke through his nose. “But you can make sure she walks free. All you have to do is take her place.”My heart skips a beat. It all clicks at once.“We’ll never be free,” I murmur, bile rising in my throat. “If I go, she stays quiet to protect me. If you take her back, I keep my mouth shut.”KJ nods, grinning like a maniac.“Now you’re getting it.”My stomach churns.“But you want to know the truth? You don’t have a choice.” He takes another drag, the cigarette tip glowing red. “Someone’s already taken an interest in you.”My eyes narrow.“What are you talking about?

    DAVINAKJ already knows Pryia is back.Of course he does. He probably always knew. Someone’s watching us. Someone close enough to anticipate our moves before we even make them. Aaron getting shot was the final proof. He was set up. There was no way out for him that night, no opening. Everything had been planned so he wouldn’t have a chance to escape. Was it just luck or coincidence, that Gutemberg showed up in time? But was it really? If Gutemberg were behind it, why would he go to the trouble of saving him? None of it makes sense. Everything’s a blur, and anyone could be a suspect. Even him.Aaron’s out of danger now, but everything’s still a mess. Pryia hasn’t spoken to me since she got the news about our father. She blames me. Thinks I’m deliberately keeping her from seeing our mother, like I have some petty, hidden agenda. Meanwhile, she keeps getting closer to Gutemberg. Clinging to him like her life depends on it. No matter how hard he tries to keep his distance, she always find

    DAVINAThe hospital reeked of disinfectants. The stark white lights made everything feel colder, more sterile, as if none of it could possibly be real. But it was. And Aaron was in a damn operating room.The SunMy fists clenched at my sides as I paced the corridors with heavy steps. My chest rose and fell erratically, my mind spinning with unanswered questions. Pain, guilt, anger—all swirling into a storm inside me.Then I saw them. His parents.They had arrived around the same time as Gutemberg and me but had disappeared for a while.David Miller and Jonathan Blake stood in a corner. David looked distressed, constantly glancing down the hallway as if expecting someone to bring bad news at any moment. Jonathan, on the other hand, remained stoic, his expression unreadable, as if none of this affected him. Men in expensive suits, one overly anxious, the other detached as if they were dealing with a bureaucratic issue rather than waiting for news about a son hovering between life and dea

    DAVINAThe hotel room was spacious and well-decorated, but I felt trapped inside it. Pryia was twirling in front of the mirror, admiring her reflection with a sparkle in her eyes. The red dress hugged her slim frame, the sheer sides revealing her golden skin. She looked happy. Or she was faking it really well.“What do you think?” she asked, adjusting her long blonde hair over one shoulder.I crossed my arms, tasting bitterness on my tongue. Pryia had been back for two weeks now, but she still felt like a stranger. I expected to find her broken, haunted, needing me. But here she was, playing dress-up with clothes Vincent had bought her, like everything was perfectly fine.“Looks expensive.”“Of course it is! Vincent has great taste.”His name kept coming up since she came back. I barely knew him, but I knew he was involved in something big. Did something happen between them? Pryia didn’t need a new provider now.“Pryia…” I started, choosing my words carefully. “You still haven’t told

    DAVINA“Don’t stand in my way if you don’t know what you want... this girl’s got wings, and she’s aiming for the sky... oh boy, stay outta my way...”I sing softly, humming along to the beat in my headphones as I stroll down the sidewalk. The streets are almost empty at this hour, but I know every inch of this neighborhood—every crack in the pavement, every shadow that creeps in when the sun starts to set. I grew up here. I could be the queen of this place. No one knows these alleys and backstreets better than I do.My thoughts drift between the melody and a rising wave of nerves. In just a few minutes, I’ll see Pryia again and we can finish our conversation. Gutemberg said he’d pick me up right after school so we could go together.My chest tightens, not because of the meeting, but because his name echoes in my mind in a way that unsettles me.Gutemberg.And inevitably, the memory of the kiss follows.I could say it was a mistake, but lying to myself was never one of my talents. I li
