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 58: Twisted Encounter

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks slipped by until two full months had passed. School had taken on a rhythm of its own—morning lectures, group discussions, assignments, and quiet evenings. Mia’s friendship with Eleanor had deepened. Among her peers, Eleanor was the closest. They worked on assignments together, shared quiet lunches, and occasionally hung out after lectures.Yet somehow, Christian had never crossed paths with this Eleanor. Despite Mia mentioning her constantly, and even Raven casually bringing her up, Christian had never once seen the mysterious woman. It bothered him. No one else had ever met her, and she had no digital footprint—nothing on the university’s portal, no social media presence, not even a registration photo. Eleanor Hart had become a ghost he couldn’t catch.Meanwhile, Raven had been doing well. She’d moved on from the heartbreak of her past and was now focused on her future. She resumed school a day after Mia and was slowly finding her footing again. The

    Christian noticed the tension in her face but said nothing. He reminded himself—professional. Always professional.He clenched the steering wheel lightly, but his eyes stayed on Mia’s reflection.They pulled out of the lot.But as they neared the school gate, Christian’s gaze locked on a car parked up ahead.Black sedan. Chrome grille. Same model from that morning.He leaned forward.The license plate.It carried a different number.His hands gripped the wheel.What the hell was going on?Christian didn’t wait to confirm if it was the same license number from earlier or a tampered one. His instincts kicked in fast—he needed to see the face of whoever was behind the wheel. The moment the black sedan moved, he followed.He didn’t speed recklessly, though. He kept a steady distance, just enough not to alarm Mia in the back seat. The last thing he wanted was for her to notice something and panic. This wasn’t the time for questions he didn’t have answers to.Meanwhile, Mia stared down at h

    Mia finally reached the lecture hall—an expansive, modern room built for postgraduate programs. Rows of sleek desks curved gently along ascending platforms, each with built-in monitors and adjustable seats. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed one side of the hall, letting in the pale London sunlight. At the front stood a wide digital screen and a polished wooden podium.She stepped inside quietly. A few students were already seated, some tapping on tablets, others chatting softly. A tall guy in a blue hoodie sat with headphones slung around his neck, scribbling something in a notebook. Two girls in stylish trench coats scrolled through a shared phone, giggling under their breath.“Hello,” Mia greeted softly as she entered. A few turned and nodded in return.She scanned the room quickly and spotted an empty seat near the center. Without wasting time, she slipped into it and set her laptop bag on the desk. Her eyes instinctively searched for the blonde woman from earlier.Nowhere.She frown

    Mia remained seated, avoiding all eye contact.Then Christian spoke, loud enough to draw more stares. “Ma’am, we’ve arrived.”Mia gritted her teeth. “I know we’ve arrived. You don’t have to announce it to the entire school.”She gathered herself and stepped out, pretending not to notice the way some girls nearby were already smiling and whispering.One waved at her. Mia returned it with a tight smile, then turned to Christian, eyes narrowed.“Tell me you’re not following me to class,” she said. “Because you don’t have to.”Christian didn’t hesitate. “It’s part of my job description. I must.”Mia didn’t wait to argue. She turned, reopened the door she had just shut, grabbed her bag, and took off toward the faculty building, heels tapping fast against the concrete.She didn’t want him catching up.But then, just as she rounded a corner—She bumped into someone.A woman with blonde hair…Mia’s laptop bag slipped from her shoulder and dropped to the ground as she tried to steady herself a

    Mia looked on, her gaze pinned on Christian. Her mind lingered on the bare line of his chest visible beneath the open collar. For a second, everything around her dulled. Her thoughts wandered to what that chest would feel like beneath her palm again, and the clean scent that probably clung to his skin.Then his voice broke through her thoughts—clear, deep, and professional.“Ma’am, we’re forty minutes away from the school. We need to get going if you don’t want to be late on your first day.”The word struck her. Ma’am?She blinked, stunned. Christian hadn’t called her that since the day she insisted he stop. That word used to feel stiff, impersonal. Why now? She hadn’t changed. She was still Mia.Or had she changed overnight? She glanced down at herself, then back at him.She opened her mouth to correct him, but the memory hit—she had said they’d keep it professional. Strictly professional.Fine. If he wanted to be professional, she’d wear it like a crown.She cleared her throat and d
