"Mia isn’t in the right headspace to have any conversation with you, much less concerning that!"

I stilled mid-movement. That was Raven’s voice—sharp, annoyed, and slightly raised.

So I wasn’t imagining it. The loud voices really were coming from our apartment.

My eyes slowly widened as the rest of my senses woke up.

Who was she even talking to?

And what conversation was she referring to?

Confusion began to rise in my chest. I tossed the blanket off and hurried to the door. My hand wrapped around the knob just as I heard Raven again—more forceful this time.

"You can’t go in!"

Go in… where?

My heart gave a slight leap, then a nervous thud followed.

I didn’t think. I twisted the knob and pulled the door open.

And there he was.

Noah.

Just a few feet away, standing directly in front of Raven, who was planted like a human barrier. Her arms were outstretched, blocking his path to my room.

My breath caught in my throat.

I hovered by the doorway, unmoving, the air suddenly too thick to breath

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 112: Stranger at the Door

    Noah looked up sharply. “Raven, wait—”“There’s no point hiding,” she cut in. “If we’re innocent, then let them see it.”Her voice cracked on the last word.She moved toward the door, each step slow, like she was walking through mud. The closer she got, the heavier the room felt.The knock didn’t come again.Whoever it was… they were waiting.She reached for the knob.My breath caught.Her hand hovered over it for a heartbeat. Then another.And then—she turned it.The door opened with a groan.And all I could think was—Please. Let it not be the end of everything.My breath hitched as the door creaked open.A faint scent of cigarette smoke drifted in—brief, sharp—before the figure stepped into view.We both leaned forward—Noah and I—our bodies instinctively drawn toward whatever was about to shatter our fragile calm, hearts thrumming like war drums.It wasn’t a uniformed officer or some grim-faced investigator.It was a young man.About twenty-eight. Dark skin with warm undertones. Ne

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 111: A Knock Too Loud

    "What do you think people will say happened?”That was the last thing Noah said.And we were still trying. Still piecing together what he already seemed to know. The silence between us wasn’t just silence anymore—it was weight. A pressure. Like sitting underwater and realizing you’re running out of breath.Raven, Noah, and I sat frozen in the living room. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Our thoughts spiraled in all directions, tangling up in anxiety, fear, and every ugly emotion that refused to be named.It was about 2:45 p.m.The sky outside was overcast, but it wasn’t raining. The kind of weather that matched the stillness of death—clouds pressed down like a blanket of cement, and even the birds seemed to have lost their voices. Inside, the air was stale. Thick with silence. It felt like the entire house was holding its breath, waiting for something to snap.This was not how I envisioned my Saturday.I had plans. Normal ones. Grocery runs. Maybe laundry. Some reading. A moment to breath

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 110: Brewing Storm

    I turned fully to him, pulse thudding in my neck, words scrambling to come out with meaning.“Have you even checked properly? Like—really checked? Gone back to her apartment again? What if she just… needed space? Maybe visited someone—family, a friend, anywhere outside town?” My voice cracked. “She’s probably around somewhere. Just... lying low.”But Noah just stared.Stared like he was watching someone try to hold water in their bare hands.“I wish that was the case,” he said, quieter now. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes your bones ache.Then his tone shifted. Heavy. Flat. Like something dragging through gravel.“After I saw the video, I went back to her apartment to check. Thought maybe she’d returned or… I don’t know… left a clue behind. I waited outside. Just waited.”His voice dropped a little more.“I stayed outside her door. All night. Till 4 a.m.”The silence that followed was suffocating.Not a single sound dared to interrupt it.“No sign of her,” he added, voice roug

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 109: Where is Raya?

    “Mia.”Raven’s voice cut through the tension like a blade—firm, urgent, unmissable.I blinked, my breath catching. The air between Noah and me shifted instantly, like the spell had cracked.Raya.The video. The questions.I’d almost forgotten why we were standing here in the first place.I stuttered, trying to gather my thoughts, to claw my way back to reason. I stepped away from him, heart in my throat, fingers curling by my sides like they could steady me.“Y-Yes. Raya,” I mumbled, blinking hard, throat tight, heart pounding like it was begging me to run. “She was here. Like I said. Nothing happened after that. She just… left.” I stammered, reaching for composure.But the words sounded weak—like tissue against wind.Noah stepped forward again.I moved back instantly.He didn’t stop. He kept coming—slow, sure, lethal.“You think I’m stupid?” His voice had sharpened to glass. “You expect me to believe she walked in here, and you said nothing that made her disappear?”I shook my head,

    What came next wasn’t just unexpected — it was a direct hit to the gut.“I can’t find Raya,” he said.I blinked. Once. Twice.Then stared at him — blank, unmoved — as the words echoed in the room like a warning shot.“And?” I asked, tone clipped. “Why are you telling me this?”Noah’s jaw tightened. “Seriously?”“I’m sorry,” I said, arms folding. “But I don’t see the connection. You not being able to find Raya and showing up at my door — what does one have to do with the other?”His eyes narrowed into slits.“Can you stop trying to act smart?!”His voice cracked like a whip.I didn’t flinch. But my spine went steel-straight.“She’s not taking her calls,” he continued, voice rising. “She’s not at her place. Her coursemates said they haven’t seen her since that video dropped — and you’re asking me what the connection is?”“Yes!” I snapped. “I’m asking exactly that. What does Raya being MIA have to do with me?”His nostrils flared. For a second, I thought he might throw something. Or mayb

    Raven swallowed hard, her lips parting, but no words came.“No one speaks to him the way they should,” I continued, voice lowering, brow tightening. “Because they’re afraid. Because he has something on them. But me?” I paused. “Whatever spell he’s been casting on everyone else—he picked the wrong girl this time.”And with that, I turned.I didn’t wait for permission or another reason to stay back. I walked out, her footsteps quick behind mine, her voice trailing behind in warning.“Mia—wait—”But I was already there.I stepped into the sitting room like I was walking onto a stage. The moment I saw him, every word I’d rehearsed in my head started to scatter.Noah.He was slouched on the couch like it belonged to him. Legs crossed. One arm flung over the backrest. He didn’t look like someone who was intruding—he looked entitled.The room fell quiet the moment I entered.I cleared my throat and stepped right into the center, folding my arms across my chest.“You wanted us to talk?” My vo
