ELIBy lunchtime, Maya and I had turned a quiet corner in the garden into our unofficial headquarters.Her notebook was open between us, pages filled with names, arrows, and question marks. Mine looked just as chaotic, though I liked to pretend it was organized. We weren’t exactly investigators, but we were getting there.We went over some points again like the fact that Carter never had any feud with anyone.She glanced at me. “You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?”“I wouldn’t say enjoying,” I replied. “More like… bothered enough to not drop it.”“Good”“What about Dante Hue?” he seems close to Professor Vale.“No no, trust me, they're tight. That's Carter’s best man there”“Hmm” Maya sighed.That was when footsteps stopped near our table.V F Maya reacted instantly, snapping her notebook shut. I followed, sliding mine beneath a textbook just as Liam’s presence registered fully. I didn’t need to look up to know it was him, there was something unmistakably confident about the way

CARTERI sat on the edge of the couch with my jacket still on and my elbows resting on my knees. I hadn’t taken it off since arriving, as if I stayed half-ready to leave, the weight of the evening wouldn’t settle fully on my shoulders.Dante handed me a glass but he didn't speak right away. “He already knew” I said finally, staring into the amber liquid. “I don't think they knew the details but they knew just enough to make it look ugly”Dante leaned against the counter. “Your father?”“Yes.” I exhaled slowly. “An ethics board member called him. An old friend. Asked if he was related to me, as if I were a liability he forgot to declare.”Dante shook his head, “that’s bad”“He didn’t ask if it was true,” I continued. “He asked why I was humiliating the family. If I’d lost control.” My jaw tightened. “As if that’s the only thing that matters.”“And what about Liam?” Dante asked carefully.I let out a short, humorless laugh. “I’m sure he every second of it. Well, before I punched father

EliI sat cross-legged on Maya’s bed with my laptop balanced on my knees, the soft glow of the screen reflecting off tired eyes. Outside, rain tapped lightly against the window.“So,” Maya said, spinning slowly in her chair, “if someone tipped off the ethics board, they had to know what they were doing.I nodded. “Or at least know enough to sound convincing.We started off by searching for Carter on the internet, whatever we could find, his school days, the opening of his firm, and when he started working at the university. Just anything we could find.“The year he opened his firm too” Maya typed while I talked.“Son of respected Billionaire lawyer, Carter Vale, launches his very own law firm today” Maya read aloud. “Big law firm, Old family, Good reputation. Our very own Professor Vale has zero scandals on the internet. Well, yet. But seriously, no lawsuits, or messy fights, or even divorces”“That‘s what makes it so weird” I said quietly. “People don’t just wake up and decide to rui

CARTERThe sound of our laughter filled the entire office. It wasn’t even lunch break yet and Dante was seated in my office as we talked about old times.Dante cracked another joke and I was halfway through laughing when my phone started vibrating.“You don’t check your phone when you’re laughing,” Dante said, leaning back in his chair. “That’s either family or bad news.”I glanced at the screen. He wasn’t wrong.My smile faded, “I need to take this” I said, already standing.“I told you so” he mumbled as he twirled a pen between his fingers.“What’s going on?” I asked, stepping away from the table.But my father didn’t bother with greetings.“Come to the house” he said “Now”I frowned, “I’m in the middle of…”“This is not a request Carter”The line went dead.I stood there for a moment, phone still pressed to my ear, the quiet buzzing where the call had ended feeling louder than it should have. When I returned to the table, Dante took one look at my face and sighed.“Well, I did warn

EliThe past few days had been boring but I had been keeping myself on my toes.In class, I even sat by the window and watched the clouds instead of taking notes. And every time the door opened, my chest tightened.When class ended, I walked with Maya to the law library. She wanted to read and I was just there to tag along. I found a spot at the back and opened my notebook. I didn't write, instead, I traced the edge of the paper and inhaled the woodlike scent of the library, allowing my thoughts to wander about.A vibration in my pocket startled me. My phone. It was a message from my sister, Lizzy.How are you holding up?I stared at the screen for a long moment before typing back.I’m okay.It wasn’t true, but it wasn’t a lie either. I existed in the space between.After, the library, I felt like I was walking without direction, except, I was just following Maya’s lead.When we got to Maya’s apartment, I went towards the fridge to get myself something to eat.A few hours later, we we

Carter“What I'm saying is, this complaint doesn't reflect well on the university either” his fingers tapped his polished desk.We had been circling each other for nearly twenty minutes now with polite words, careful pauses, and vague sentences.Holloway sighed, leaning back in his chair. “You know that the university doesn’t like noise, Vale. And right now, this situation is noise.”“So you’re assuring me,” I said evenly, “that this didn’t come from the university or youHolloway hesitated just a fraction of a second.“It didn’t originate officially from the institution,” he said at last. “Which, frankly, is why this is frustrating. Whoever filed it knew exactly how to frame it.”And yet,” I said, “the first response was to seize my system and restrict my duties.”Holloway spread his hands. “Optics. You know how it works.”“Yes,” I replied coolly. “I do.”Silence settled between us, it was heavy and deliberate.Holloway cleared his throat. “Look, Vale, I don’t want this to escalate.
