“That’s not possible,” I said, blinking in disbelief. “She once told an entire debate class that college boys were a waste of time and beneath her standards.”

“Well,” Raven said, showing me a blurry picture on her phone, “looks like she changed her mind.”

At first, I thought it was just Noah being Noah—setting another trap, making his next move.

But then rumors started flying, fast and loud. People said they were official. As in, a real relationship. Dates. Matching designer sunglasses. His and hers watches. Social media posts, curated and filtered to perfection.

Hashtags like #Navah and #PowerCouple began to trend among the student body.

And for the first time, it seemed like Noah was truly off the market. No more girls sneaking out of class, or videos of Noah and random girls in Devil's Corner. No more flirting with anything that moved. He even started skipping parties.

It was like watching fire and gasoline dance—and not explode.

Ava was the only one who ever seemed to hold his att

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 132: It's Time

    We stood together, four of us in a crooked line, and none of us spoke. The air between us carried a weight too heavy to break with careless words.It felt as though we had silently agreed to stay still, to hold our reactions back, and only watch what played out in front of us. Every small movement in the room seemed louder than it should have been—the shuffle of a foot, the faint rustle of clothing. Yet no one moved to interfere.Feyi was the only one who refused that quiet pact. Her eyes never left Ava, and her hands were quick to reach out whenever Ava shifted uneasily. She whispered to her, adjusted her seat, and brushed away little things that didn’t even matter.To Feyi, nothing else existed but Ava’s comfort, as though protecting her outweighed everything holding the rest of us in place.Minutes stretched long, but Feyi’s focus didn’t break. Her lips moved in soft encouragement that only Ava could hear. Then, as if something clicked in her mind, she pulled her hand away and reac

  • 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
