Chapter Twenty: Campus Storm

Wendy walked through the sprawling corridors of North Fall University, her backpack slung loosely over one shoulder, eyes fixed on the tile beneath her feet. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the chatter of the campus had wrapped itself around her like a tightening coil.

Students moved past her, books clutched under arms, phones in hands, faces alight with gossip or amusement. Every glance she caught seemed loaded with the weight of speculation, some barel

  • Love Me Like A Champion    Unlikely Care

    Chapter Twenty Four: Unlikely CareFreya tilted her head slightly as he took a step back, her arms crossed over a small bouquet of flowers and a paper bag.“Freya,” Xander said cautiously, eyes narrowing. “What are you doing here?”She raised the flowers and bag with an almost teasing tilt. “I brought Wendy something. Flowers, chocolates. Thought she might like it.”Xander blinked. “Since when do you care about my family?” His tone was sharp but curious, a mixture of suspicion and surprise.Freya exhaled slowly, one shoulder lifting. “I was… worried. She’s in a hospital, Xander. People don’t usually try to drown themselves for fun.”He studied her, noting the faint softness in her eyes. He had not expected concern. “Wendy won’t like this. It’s… not advisable you stay here.”Her gaze lingered on him, then slowly she nodded. “Okay,” she said quietly, turning toward the hospital entrance.Xander hesitated, then called after her. “I can drop you home.”Freya paused mid-step, then turned,

  • Love Me Like A Champion    You’re here?

    Chapter Twenty Three: You’re here?The hospital cafe had thinned out as evening settled over the city. The glass walls reflected the fading light outside, turning the room into a quiet, enclosed world of low voices and clinking cutlery. Xander sat across from Courtney at a small table near the window. Their dinner rested between them, mostly untouched on her side.Courtney had removed her blazer but still looked composed, as if the chaos upstairs had not fractured her control. Her hair was smooth, her posture straight, her expression distant. Only the faint tightness around her eyes betrayed the strain.“You should eat,” Xander said, pushing the plate slightly closer to her.“I’m not hungry.”“You haven’t eaten since morning.”“I’m fine.”He leaned back in his chair and studied her. “You’re not.”Courtney exhaled slowly. “Do not start.”“I’m not starting anything.” He picked up his fork, cut a small piece of chicken, and held it out toward her. “Open.”She stared at him. “Xander.”“Op

  • Love Me Like A Champion    Reckless decision

    Chapter Twenty Two: Reckless decisionThe private hospital room was quiet. The machines beside Wendy’s bed hummed softly, steady and indifferent. The curtains were half drawn, letting in pale afternoon light that flattened everything into muted shades.Wendy lay propped against white pillows, an oxygen tube resting beneath her nose. Her hair was brushed back from her face, though it still looked damp at the edges. A faint bruise colored her cheekbone where it had struck the tile during the chaos at the pool. Her skin looked too pale against the sheets.Xander sat beside her, elbows on his knees, hands clasped loosely as if he did not trust them to stay steady. He had not changed clothes. His shirt was wrinkled and still faintly marked from where he had held her.Greg stood by the window, staring out at nothing in particular, phone in hand, though he had not made a single call in the last ten minutes.Wendy blinked slowly and turned her head toward Xander. “You look terrible,” she murm

  • Love Me Like A Champion    Silly thing to do

    Chapter Twenty One: Silly thing to doThe Savage mansion had never felt small until that evening.Wendy stood at the edge of the indoor pool, staring into water that reflected the high white ceiling and nothing else. The house was quiet in that artificial way wealthy houses often were, insulated from the world by thick glass and thicker secrets. Somewhere upstairs, a door closed. Somewhere down the hall, a clock ticked.She had walked past Xander’s room minutes earlier. His door had been slightly open, music low, the glow of his laptop lighting the dark. He had not seen her.Her phone was in her hand. The screen was cracked from where she had thrown it the night before. Notifications still stacked up despite the silence setting. Her name. Her family name. Screenshots. Conspiracy threads. Memes. Voice notes. A hundred strangers dissecting her existence.She dropped the phone on a nearby chair.“It won’t stop,” she whispered to herself.She stepped closer to the water until the tips of

Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the chatter of the campus had wrapped itself around her like a tightening coil.Students moved past her, books clutched under arms, phones in hands, faces alight with gossip or amusement. Every glance she caught seemed loaded with the weight of speculation, some barely concealed, others brazen.She slowed near the entrance to her lecture hall, hoping to slip unnoticed among the throng, but the moment she stepped into view, a ripple of whispers traveled across the room.“Did you see the Savage scandal?” one girl murmured, smirking to her friend.“They’re saying she’s part of that… cult thing,” another replied, her voice dropping conspiratorially.Wendy’s stomach sank. She forced a polite nod at a familiar face, Phoebe, who was leaning casually against the wal

    Chapter Nineteen: Everyone get to workCourtney stood at the head of the table, hands resting lightly against it.Her tech division sat before her. It was made of six individuals who had built careers out of finding people who did not want to be found. Their laptops were open, screens reflecting lines of code, server routes, proxy chains.Courtney tapped a remote and the central screen transitioned to the fake letters, the cult website naming Wendy Savage as founder. The porn magazine delivery scandal. The anonymous child at the gate. The parody social media account. Each incident was displayed with timestamps, geolocation data, and engagement velocity.“They launched in waves,” Courtney said. “My suspect is Lush Magazines. The bitch has been hating on my family.”One of the analysts adjusted his glasses. “They’re using offshore hosting for the cult site. The domain registration is masked. Payments were made through cryptocurrency wallets that have already been dissolved.”Courtney’s
