Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 205
Chapter 205Chris I found my father in his study that night, the same room where I’d stood the week before reading his own handwriting back to myself like it belonged to a stranger. He looked up from his desk when I walked in and didn’t seem surprised, which told me something on its own, my father is rarely caught off guard by anything I do, and that’s usually because he’s already three steps ahead of wherever I’m about to go.“I read the Harlan file,” I said. No warm-up. I’d decided in the car that warm-up would just give him room to steer this somewhere softer than it needed to be.He set his pen down slow, the way he does when he’s deciding how much of the truth to hand somebody. “Then you already know more than you should.”“I know you wrote watch the boy in your own hand. I know Reyes is paying to keep this quiet. What I don’t know is why you’re the one who agreed to be part of it.”My father leaned back in his chair and looked at me for a long moment, and I watched something in
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 204
Chapter 204 ChrisAiden had been gone six weeks, and I spent most of them pretending I was fine.I want to be honest about that up front because I’ve spent enough of this whole thing lying to people I claim to care about, and I’m tired of doing it even in my own head. I was not fine. I got up every morning, went to my summer classes, showed up for my father’s Sunday dinners like a good son, and every single one of those things felt like moving through water that had gotten thicker since the last time I’d tried it.The apartment felt wrong without him in it, which was stupid, because he’d never actually lived there, not officially, he’d just been in and out of it enough times that some part of my brain had started treating it like his space too. I’d walk past the guest bathroom where I’d cleaned his cuts that one night and feel my chest go tight for no reason I wanted to look at too closely. I kept the black box locked in the same drawer. Never opened it. Told myself that was restrain
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 203
Chapter 203 Aiden Eric’s phone rang on Saturday morning while we were sitting on the porch steps, sharing a bag of chips my mother left out for us, and I watched his whole face change the second he looked at the screen.“It’s my dad,” he said, and the words came out flatter than I’d heard him say anything since he showed up here.“I thought he wasn’t back till Sunday.”“He’s not. He’s calling from the coast.” Eric stared at the phone like it might stop ringing if he waited long enough. It didn’t. He answered on what had to be the sixth ring, his voice sliding into something easy and normal that didn’t match the way his hand had gone tight around the phone. “Hey, Dad.”I sat there pretending to eat chips while I listened to one half of a conversation that made my stomach drop lower with every word Eric said back.“No, I’m still at Aiden’s, yeah.” A pause. “I know it’s been a while.” Another pause, longer this time, and Eric’s jaw worked like he was chewing on something he didn’t want
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 202
Chapter 202 AidenEric walked the tree line with his hands shoved in his pockets like he was doing me a favor just by breathing out here. Which, fine. Maybe he was.“Show me exactly where the note was,” he said.I pointed at the fence post near the edge of the property, right where the wood had started to gray and split from years of weather. He crouched down and looked at the dirt like it owed him money.“Footprints are gone,” he said. “Rain last night probably wiped them out.”“Great. So we’ve got nothing.”“I didn’t say nothing.” He stood back up and brushed his knees off. “I said the footprints are gone. I still know what my dad said.”“Then say it. All of it. Not the version you gave me over eggs this morning.”Eric looked at me for a second like he was deciding whether I’d earned the rest. I guess I had, technically, given what I’d agreed to just to get him talking in the first place. I hated thinking about that deal. I shoved it down and waited for him to start.“About three w
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 201
Chapter 201 Aiden “I need your help,” I said. “Not with last night. With who’s watching me.”Eric didn’t even look impressed. He sat at my family’s table like he belonged there and took another bite of toast.“No.”“That’s it? No?”“That’s it.” He chewed, swallowed, and finally looked at me. “You want me to sort out a watcher for you after you spent all morning trying to put a knife to my throat. Find him yourself.”“You know things you shouldn’t know,” I said. “You knew about the note. You knew what would work on me. You heard your dad talking about this family. So help me figure out who is standing outside my house.”Eric set the toast down.“This isn’t my house,” he said. “If someone is watching it, that’s your problem. Your porch. Your windows. Your family. I can walk out the front door and go home and none of this follows me unless I let it.”“You already let it,” I said. “You used it. You walked into my room with it. You don’t get to pretend you’re just a guest now.”His mouth
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 200
Chapter 200AidenThe night was long.I did not sleep. I sat on the edge of my bed with my back against the wall and my eyes on the door. Every sound in the house made me flinch. Every creak of the floorboards felt like footsteps coming for me.But somewhere around three in the morning something shifted.I stopped shaking. I stopped replaying Eric's words in my head. I stopped feeling sorry for myself.Instead I started thinking.Eric had leverage because I kept giving him more. Every time I panicked he got stronger. Every time I reacted he learned something new about me. Every time I let him see me sweat he knew exactly where to push.So I would stop.I would stop reacting. I would stop panicking. I would stop giving him anything.By the time the sun came up I had a plan. It was not a good plan. It was not even a real plan. But it was something. And something was better than sitting in the dark waiting for him to destroy me.I heard the family moving around downstairs. Footsteps. Voi

Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 6
Aiden’s POV I bolted back to my room like my ass was on fire, slammed the door so hard the posters on the wall fluttered, then just stood there with my back pressed flat against it, chest heaving, trying to pretend my brain wasn’t actively melting down around me. I saw it. I fucking saw it. But my

Jovian’s POV I’ve always been the safe one, the quiet one, the guy who sculpts everything out of clay because it’s “art” and not because I’m horny twenty-four seven, but let’s be real, half the time it is because I’m horny, and the other half it’s because Aiden’s the only person I’ve ever wanted t
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 4
Aiden’s POV The second I finally got my headphones back on and the bass hard enough to rattle my teeth, I thought maybe, just maybe the universe was giving me a five-minute break from being its personal punching bag. Laptop open, I was trying to prepare the materials concerning my scholarship,
