Christian’s eyes locked onto Noah’s with a force that made the air between them tighten. There was no smile. No twitch. Just cold, unflinching silence. His piercing gaze was the kind that stripped a man to his core.

Noah straightened, caught off guard.

“Do I know you?” he asked, brows furrowing. “Have we met before?”

Christian stepped closer, the weight of his presence unsettling. “Time will tell,” he said, voice low but firm.

Noah opened his mouth to respond, but Christian was already turning away.

A few steps forward, Christian paused, glanced over his shoulder, and said loudly enough for the nearby drivers to hear, “Apologies for missing the light.”

And just like that, he got into his car and drove off without another glance.

Noah stood still, confused, jaw tightening. The man had gone from remorseful to ice-cold in seconds. There was something about him that stirred a quiet threat Noah couldn’t shake—like danger wearing a calm face.

He raked a hand through his hair, his mind spinn

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 131: So... It's You?

    Ava and I remained stunned, frozen in the moment.Her hands rose, trembling as she tried to shield her eyes from the harsh beam of my flashlight. My grip tightened around it, my breath uneven. Thoughts whirled in my head like a thousand echoes refusing to settle. My voice broke through the silence before I could restrain it.“So… it’s you?”The words left my lips heavier than I expected, carrying both accusation and disbelief.Ava began stuttering, “I… I don’t know what you’re… you’re talking about. It’s not… not what you think. Th-There’s… there’s been a mix-up… somewhere.”Her voice tripping over itself as the words rushed out. Denials tumbled from her mouth in fragments, unfinished and hollow, like smoke fading before it found form. I stood transfixed, listening, but none of it made sense.She was still fumbling with her words when the others finally caught up to me. Their hurried steps fell silent the instant they saw her.Ava—in the very place where Raya was meant to be.For a mo

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 130: A Hollow circle

    All eyes immediately locked on mine, then, as if pulled by the same invisible string, they moved to the entrance.The silence was heavy, swollen with fear, every breath too loud against the weight pressing on us.The faint footsteps I had heard—those slow, deliberate taps—suddenly ceased.My stomach twisted.A shiver rolled through my spine, cold and unforgiving.We stayed frozen, our eyes fixed on the empty opening between the containers… waiting, praying it wouldn’t be what I dreaded most.The air smelled strange, metallic, sharp, as though the night itself had been cut open.My chest rose and fell in uneven bursts, every second stretching into something unbearable.I swallowed hard and forced myself to turn.Dozens of gazes met mine, filled with questions they couldn’t bring themselves to ask.Noah parted his lips, ready to speak, but before he could, I lifted a trembling hand, silencing him.He obeyed, though confusion burned in his eyes.I didn’t need words.I knew what I heard.

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 129: You Fooled Us!

    Noah’s whole body shook as if his rage had taken root in his veins. His voice cracked from shouting, but he didn’t stop.“You fooled us, Damian!” he bellowed, jabbing a finger at him. “All three of us! If anything happens to Raya, I swear—” his chest heaved—“I’ll make sure you pay with your life. I don’t care who the hell your parents are!”Damian stood frozen, shoulders tight, lips pressed into a line. He didn’t fight back. He didn’t defend himself. He just took the words, each insult slamming against him like a storm he had no umbrella for.Noah’s voice grew harsher.“It’s your fault we’re even here! Wasting time with Feyi, who clearly knows nothing about Raya’s disappearance. You dragged us here—led us blind into this mess. And now you stand there, pretending you don’t know what’s happening?!”The room felt heavy. Even I could see the flicker of doubt crossing Damian’s eyes, like Noah’s venom was worming its way into him, making him question himself.My stomach twisted. His silence

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 128: Is This A Setup?

    We stood frozen, our eyes locked on Feyi.The air between us grew thick, as though silence itself had teeth.Raven trembled beside me, her patience slipping like sand through clenched fists.The rage in her eyes was no longer hidden; it had spread across her whole body, every muscle straining as if her bones could no longer hold it in.Her fists quivered, not from fear, but from a hunger to be unleashed.She wanted blood—she wanted the release of tearing into the one who had pushed us this far.But Feyi—Feyi did not flinch.She carried herself with a cold calm, the type that stung worse than cruelty.Her lips curled, just slightly, as though the sight of our suffering had become her personal theatre.The more we tensed, the more she seemed to drink it in.That smile—mocking, unbothered—made my stomach turn.It was unbearable, standing there knowing Raven was seconds from exploding, and Feyi only waited for it.The quiet was dangerous.I felt it coil around us, daring us to act first.

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 127: Everything I've Built... Even If It Comes With Shame.

    “Everything I’ve built… every small victory… even if it comes with shame. I’ve clawed out of nothing!”Her hands shook at her sides, fists clenching and unclenching, nails digging into her palms. Fire, exhaustion, and hurt intertwined within her—a storm barely contained. For a brief second, all the anger and defiance melted into something painfully human.I wanted to speak, to bridge the chasm between us, but words failed. Feyi’s eyes held mine, daring me to understand—daring me to see her not as an adversary, but as a soul fighting to survive in a world that never gave her a chance.The room seemed to pause with her, the night hanging on her confession. For the first time, I felt the weight of what she carried—not just anger or defiance—but a lifetime of struggle that no amount of reasoning could erase.Yet, even as empathy tugged at me, my thoughts returned to Raya. This raw honesty, this vulnerability—it revealed everything about Feyi, but it didn’t explain the darkness she had cho

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 126: Through Glass and Pain

    Just when I thought I had started to break through the wall Feyi had built around herself, she spat her words with venom, slicing through the fragile air between us.“I don’t owe you, or anyone, any explanation,” she snapped. Her tone carried a sharp defiance that cut deeper than any blade. Her eyes blazed. Her lips curled, as if the taste of my presence alone disgusted her.“Not on how I’ve chosen to live my life. Not on whomever I’ve decided to become. After all… the world doesn’t favor good people!”The silence that followed pressed in on me—heavy, suffocating. Even the night seemed to pause, broken only by the faint hum of the wind rattling the metal walls. My pulse hammered in my ears. For a moment, I felt the weight of her words threaten to crush the hope I had tried to hold onto.Then the anger rose—hot, undeniable—searing through every vein until it burned away hesitation.“You know what, Feyi,” I burst out, my voice breaking the stillness, raw and trembling with fury. “You’re
