ROWAN

Somehow, there was something wrong with us.

The way we talked recently wasn't good.

I didn't know but I wanted to be on my own. Only in the meantime. But I couldn't stop myself from coming over to the house every morning. One, because I owed her that even though I didn't. Two, I cared about her so much, more than anyone else would—even her own stepbrother, despite her love for him. How can she be so foolish?

Three, Mom asked me not to stop.

Otherwise, I would stop for a very long time.

I wouldn't bother myself so much like I was because it wasn't worth it to a point. A sigh escaped my mouth and I looked around before honking my horn this morning. The man at the gate peeked and opened the door on that instant while I drove in, honking the horn once again and catching up with the main space where I usually was.

“Where is she?”

I looked around and asked the man by the gate who wasn't even close. Then I relaxed back and waited.

It wasn't going to take long before she would c

  • Breaking The Rules For My Star Hockey Boyfriend    Chapter 114

    CALEBI hadn’t seen Clara smile in weeks.Not the polite one she gave Brenda when thanking her for tea, not the tight one she used on people she couldn’t stand. I meant the real one — the kind that made her eyes turn into two soft crescents.Now, whenever I passed her in the hallway, she walked as though I didn’t exist. And the worst part was that I deserved it.Elena’s laughter still echoed in my head sometimes — cruel, cutting, directed at Clara while I stood by and did nothing. Actually, worse than nothing. I’d laughed too. The memory burned like acid.Brenda brushed past me that morning with a tray of toast. “She’s in the kitchen,” she said in her usual brisk tone, not even looking at me. Everyone had taken Clara’s side.I lingered in the doorway, watching Clara stir something on the stove. She’d tied her hair up, strands escaping around her face. There was flour on her wrist and sunlight catching on her collarbone. I almost said her name, but my throat tightened.She noticed me b

    CLARAWhile all of it was happening, I stood at a corner. Waiting. I would have gone into that office with them, but I didn't. Not when I wasn't a witness to anything. Aaron was, according to what they said. He was the right person to be there. “Rowan?” I called when everything looked like it was over, wondering at the same time what was about to—What was I saying? I wondered what had happened. Now, the person I was waiting for all this while, was on his way to my side. The look on his countenance told me a lot—more than a lot. I moped at him, not taking my face. Not for a moment. “Tell me what happened.” I took his hand when he caught up with me. “I know you didn't do it. You don't have to explain a thing to me, you know.” I managed a smile when our gazes met. “Let's go to a quiet place. I can skip my classes for today. Already did.” “Clara, I didn't do it.” Why did he act like he didn't hear what I said just now? Sighs threatened to escape from my mouth. “I believe you. I kno

    ROWANWhat the fuck was happening? Why would she tell such a lie against me? In public, at that. I stood in an office. One that belonged to a teacher. The head teacher at that. We were waiting for him to make it here so that judgment could be passed. And I hoped deep down inside of me that the truth would be seen. I looked up from the ground, glanced at Elena. She was smiling. Only I could see it. What was she up to now? What did I do to deserve such an act from her? I asked myself this question, so many thoughts running around. Right inside of my head. “He's here—” Aaron, the accomplice, sounded and I looked to the door. Only to see it opening with two men walking into the space. One of them was the head teacher and the other was a man I knew I had seen once—long before my final year. Who was he? “Take a seat, sir.” The head teacher urged. Then the man took a seat and glanced at me. There was hate in his tone—in the way he looked at me. Even though he didn't speak, I could

    AARONBefore the discharge of Clara, I was out of the clinic, staring at my watch, sweat pouring from my forehead. The AC in the clinic was fully working, but I knew that what I was supposed to do in the next few minutes, what I was about to do, in fact, was a great deal and a burden on me. That was the reason I was perspiring, the sweat of an extremely guilty man, a man who was about to do something that was out of the box. I went into the clinic one more time, where I saw Clara getting ready to remove the clinic uniform which was meant for patients. Knowing that this was my chance, I left the clinic, walking as fast as my legs could carry me. If there was anything, it was the fact that I didn't want Clara to know what I was doing. In all of this, she deserved to be innocent. She wasn't supposed to know the kind of man I was, or the extent at which I could go for her. That was supposed to be for my thoughts alone. Dumping the lab coat that I had worn when I entered the clinic,

    AARON I stared at her in disbelief. I knew Clara very well. I also knew, even though I wasn't entirely sure that she was involved with a guy called Rowan. The Clara I knew saw me as a friend and nothing else. Women knew how to gatekeep their feelings, but with Clara, it was different. She was so open, so laid-back and inviting. That was what made me love her in the first place, that warmth and the way she seemed to welcome everyone into her life with open arms. It was a part of her I loved and cherished so much. “You can't make someone love you, Elena.”Elena shook her head at me firmly. “You see, that's where you're wrong. You can make someone love you. If only you have the right tools and materials to do so. If only you plan well, efficiently and effortlessly. You see, I have those tools, Aaron, and I know you'll love to know what those tools are.”My heart clattered in my chest again. How was it possible that Elena, who barely even knew me knew so much about me? I didn't tru

    AARON “Come on, man, it's morning already. Get up.”The sun shone brightly through the parted blinds. I woke up, my hair slightly getting in the way, which was now slowly becoming a normal occurrence. I stared at Donovan, my cousin and my roommate for the time I was going to be working as the falconets doctor. He was the first person to receive me since I had come into the city, and was still the only person to have offered me an apartment. In a city filled with strangers and foreigners, he was the only one I looked up to, a real source of friendship. “Are you going to college today?”The question stared me in the face, welcoming me back to life, back to reality, in fact. The events of the night before roared in my mind, a memory that couldn't be forgotten. The party. The three women who had jointly attacked Clara. The fact that I was the only one who had tried to save her, who had shouted nonstop that the cops be called. It was insane, a total mess, the way they handled their d
