HEIR OF PAIN Chapter 96: Aunt
Arden stood up from the ground, ignoring the pain that shot through his body. His eyes were fixed on the burning car, and a scream tore from his throat. “Ryder!!” he shouted, taking a step toward the flames. “Ryder!!” Someone grabbed his arms, holding him back. Arden twisted and struggled, panic and fear taking over. “Let go of me!! I want to save him! Ryder is in there! Save him!” he yelled, his voice cracking. The heat from the fire was unbearable, but Arden ignored it. He used his elbow to push the person holding him. “Arden!! Stop struggling. I’m alive. It’s me!” a familiar voice yelled from behind him. Arden froze. He turned slowly. His eyes widened. Ryder was there, holding him. Alive. “Ry… Ryder?” Arden whispered, his voice trembling. He touched Ryder’s face, searching for proof that he was real. Then his gaze flicked back to the burned car, smoke rising in thick black clouds. “I thought… I thought I lost you,” Arden sobbed, his knees almost giving out. He threw

As Arden walked into the building, he headed straight for the reception desk. The place was quiet but busy, with staff moving around and phones ringing softly in the background. “Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you?” the receptionist asked politely. “Is Ryder in his office?” Arden asked. The receptionist paused. She looked at Arden again, slightly surprised by how casually he had said her boss’s name, without any title or formality. “Yes, he is,” she replied carefully. “Do you have an appointment with him?” Arden shook his head. “I don’t need an appointment with him.” With that, he turned and took a step forward, intending to walk past the desk. The receptionist quickly stood up and stepped in front of him. “Sir, you can’t go in,” she said firmly. “Without an appointment, you’re not allowed to see him.” Arden sighed. He felt a little embarrassed as he noticed a few staff members turning their heads to watch. The receptionist had raised her voice slightly, and it
HEIR OF PAIN Chapter 94: Dig Deeper
Arden and Kyle had entered the campus cafeteria a few minutes ago. The place was crowded, filled with voices, laughter, and the clatter of plates, but none of it reached Arden. He sat across from Kyle, staring down at the tray in front of him. The food remained untouched. He picked at it slowly, pushing rice from one side of the plate to the other, then stopping altogether. His shoulders were tense and his face drawn tight. Anyone who knew him well could tell something was wrong. Kyle noticed almost immediately. He watched Arden for a moment before speaking. “You should stop worrying, Arden.” Arden let out a slow sigh and dropped the spoon onto the plate. “I should be worried, Kyle,” he said quietly. “Ryder has Derek with him.” Kyle raised an eyebrow. “So?” he scoffed. “Don’t tell me you’re feeling sorry for Derek after everything he did to you.” Arden shook his head sharply. “No,” he said, irritation slipping into his voice. “You don’t get it.” Kyle leaned forward. “T

~~~~~Later In The Evening ~~~~~~ Ryder stretched out his hand and turned off the lampstand. Darkness filled the room almost immediately. He shifted closer and pulled Arden into his arms, fitting him against his chest and then, he kissed Arden’s forehead lightly. “Good night,” Ryder muttered. “Good night,” Arden replied. Ryder’s breathing slowly evened out, but Arden remained wide awake. His eyes stayed open, fixed on nothing. Kyle’s words replayed in his head again and again. The more he thought about it, the more it began to make sense. If Kyle was right… then did that mean his presence was the reason Ryder and Kellan no longer spoke like before? Arden let out another sigh. He tried to stay still, but his thoughts were too loud. Another sigh escaped him. Then another. “What is bothering you?” Ryder’s voice came softly in the dark. Arden stiffened slightly. “You’re awake?” he asked, surprised. “How can I sleep when you keep sighing?” Ryder said calmly. “You know you

Arden couldn’t stop smiling as he and Kyle walked across the campus grounds toward the faculty building. “So?” Kyle asked, lifting an eyebrow. He nudged Arden lightly with his shoulder. “How did it go?” “It worked,” Arden said, grinning from ear to ear. Kyle clicked his tongue in satisfaction. “Perfect. I already connected the camera to your phone. You should start seeing everything soon. Every move she makes. Every word she says. Who knows, you might find out something interesting.” Arden nodded, still smiling. The weight he had been carrying on his shoulders felt lighter. Things were moving forward now. He finally had control. They entered the faculty building and went straight to their lecture hall. ~~~~~EVENING~~~~~ The hours passed quickly, and before they knew it, the sun had dipped lower. Students poured out of the building when classes ended, chatting loudly and stretching their stiff limbs. Arden and Kyle walked out together, backpacks slung over their shoul
HEIR OF PAIN Chapter 91: Hidden Camera...
Arden raised his head and saw Jewel putting a piece of fish onto Ryder’s plate, smiling as if nothing mattered. His eyes narrowed, and a sharp glare fixed on her. Ryder noticed Arden’s gaze and quickly picked up the fish Jewel had placed. Without hesitation, he put it gently on Arden’s plate. “You also like fish, right? Eat plenty of it,” Ryder said, a playful smile on his face. His hand lingered slightly, as if emphasizing that he cared for Arden. Arden looked at him, a mixture of surprise and warmth softening his expression. He nodded slightly and began to eat, keeping his focus on Ryder. Ryder leaned back slightly and asked, “Do you want more fish or anything else?” His voice was calm, yet filled with the subtle teasing that only Arden could recognize. Arden smiled softly and shook his head. “No, I’m fine,” he said. Jewel frowned slightly, her smile faltering. Arden noticed it, but, he focused on finishing his meal while Ryder continued to keep an eye on him. A moment
