Chapter 140: Hannah Brooks

Indeed, the chaos only shifted shape. My instincts about Noah had never been wrong. “Change” was one battle he always lost.

Just fourteen days after patching things up with Ava, he slipped back into his old skin, like it had been waiting for him.

The Devil’s Corner became his second home. Anyone who wandered in knew what they’d find—Noah with a different girl wrapped around him, hearts tossed aside like loose change.

It wasn’t news to me. I’d bumped into him more times than I cared to count.

But this time, the whispers didn’t run wild. Unlike the Raya saga, his affairs stayed tucked in the shadows, buried under neon lights and reckless laughter.

Maybe Ava didn’t know. Maybe she knew and chose to play blind. Either way, she carried on as if nothing had cracked—her head still high, her crown still balanced.

Noah turned every night into a stage. Reckless, bold, kissing lips he barely remembered by morning. One girl, then another, as if he was testing how far he could fall before someone

    The hall went still.It wasn’t whatever announcement she was about to make that caught us first—it was that smile. Subtle, almost unnoticeable, but every eye saw it. A ripple of whispers moved like a current across the room, students trading glances, the tension sharp enough to hear.Hannah didn’t flinch. Her poise only deepened, and when she leaned toward the microphone, her voice carried with clear, calm authority.“Good afternoon, fellow students. As you know, we are a week away from examinations. This period is important for every one of us. I want to remind you—success comes through hard work, not shortcuts. Say no to malpractice. Say no to anything that will tarnish your name, your grades, or this university.”She leaned in slightly, her eyes sweeping over the crowd.“Put in the work now, because the reward is always worth it. I believe in you. We all do. And on behalf of the student body, I wish each and every one of you the very best.”Applause followed—light, scattered, half-

    Days rolled by, and Noah’s so-called “coincidences” with Hannah multiplied.It wasn’t chance anymore. He made sure she noticed him, and little by little, it worked. Hannah smiled more when he was around. Soon it wasn’t just smiles—it was laughter, loud enough for anyone passing to hear.She was growing comfortable with Noah, the same Noah everyone knew for breaking hearts and leaving girls in tears.From where I stood, it felt dangerous. Hannah wasn’t Raya, but she had more to lose. She was someone the entire school—especially freshers—looked up to. Walking hand-in-hand with Noah, a player everyone had warned their friends about, didn’t look good. I knew the ending wouldn’t be pretty.The whispers started small, tucked in corners and between classes. But whispers never stay whispers. Soon it became open gossip.Wherever Hannah sat, Noah was right beside her. Whenever she carried out her presidential duties, Noah was there, clapping the loudest, like her personal shadow.And while the

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 139: Life Moved on Fast

    It had been a few weeks since the chaos with Raya, Ava, and the night that nearly destroyed everything.School had resumed, but it felt different—tense, quiet, like everyone was waiting for the next disaster.I kept thinking about pressing charges. Feyi and Ava needed a lesson. Even if Ava’s father could free her in minutes, at least it would leave a mark, a reminder that actions had consequences.But for reasons only Raya knew, she let it slide, pretending her life hadn't been hung by a thread. I didn’t understand it, and part of me was frustrated.Raya stayed away for several days, careful, distant. Noah was nowhere to be found, and no one asked too loudly.Ava, by contrast, moved differently. I watched her navigating the halls, approachable, human, far from the untouchable girl we’d all feared.When her breakup with Noah happened the next day, it hit hard. Whispers followed her like shadows, stares pricked at her, and judgment hung in the air. My chest tightened just watching her.

    “Every morning, you step out as the Ava we all know—untouchable, unshaken, like nothing could ever break you.”Feyi’s voice cut through the night, sharp and tense.“Remember that night you came home crying, wishing Raya would disappear? You whispered it like a prayer, like it was the only way to save your heart. That night, I carried it for you. I wanted to give you peace.”Her hand trembled as she gestured toward us, the weight of her words pressing down.“I was close, Ava. So close to making that wish come true. If only you had come sooner—before they came, before they pulled me back.”Her head shook violently.“Even then, I tried. I tried to make them feel invisible, so you wouldn’t change your mind. Because I know how Noah makes you feel. I’ve seen it in your eyes. With him, you’re not Ava anymore. You’re someone else—someone weak, someone chained.”Her voice cracked. Tears ran freely, words splintering like broken glass.“And I couldn’t stand to watch you become that.”Ava steppe

    Ava couldn’t believe her eyes. Every muscle in her body seemed to stiffen as she took heavy, deliberate steps toward Feyi, her gaze locked on the gun still aimed at Noah’s face. Her mouth hung slightly open, breath shallow, and yet determination radiated from her every move.She raised a hand slowly, tracing a finger along the barrel. The cold metal sent a shiver up her arm, but she didn’t falter. Her touch slid along Feyi’s hand, across her wrist, and up to her shoulder. The movements were calm, precise, almost like a warning, and her eyes never left Feyi’s.For a fleeting second, surprise crossed Ava’s face—then vanished. Anger surged, hard and unrelenting. Without warning, she slapped Feyi across the cheek. The force made Feyi’s head jerk to the side, her expression twisting in shock. She quickly snapped back, gun still locked on Noah, her eyes now burning with fury and disbelief.Feyi’s lips trembled as if searching for words, but Ava’s voice cut like a blade.“Don’t you dare!” He
