Don’t let Jace touch the control panel.

My mother’s warning kept echoing in my head as the red light above the door flashed again. The screen continued displaying Jace’s name, followed by the words FINAL DIRECTIVE REMAINS ACTIVE. I could hear the ventilation system humming overhead, but beneath that steady noise, something else had started—a low mechanical sound coming from behind the walls.

The room was preparing for something.

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 53: THE FINAL DIRECTIVE

    Don’t let Jace touch the control panel. My mother’s warning kept echoing in my head as the red light above the door flashed again. The screen continued displaying Jace’s name, followed by the words FINAL DIRECTIVE REMAINS ACTIVE. I could hear the ventilation system humming overhead, but beneath that steady noise, something else had started—a low mechanical sound coming from behind the walls. The room was preparing for something. I tightened my grip on my mother’s arm. What happens if he touches it? She shook her head, her eyes fixed on the panel. I don’t know what the system will do now. Seven months ago, the directive was supposed to be completed before your memories could be restored. If the system has reactivated it, then someone has connected this room to the original archive. Someone who knows we’re here, I realized. My mother nodded slowly. Jace stood beside the table, staring at the screen. His hands were trembling, but his eyes had hardened with determination. I had se

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 52: THE BOY WHO COULD HAVE KILLED ME

    For several seconds, nobody spoke. I stared at my mother, waiting for her to take back what she had just said. I wanted her to laugh and tell me there had been a misunderstanding. I wanted Jace to step forward and deny everything so convincingly that I could forget those words had ever existed. But my mother didn’t smile And Jace didn’t deny it. My chest tightened painfully. What do you mean he could have killed me? I asked. My mother looked at Jace, then back at me. Her expression was filled with a sadness that frightened me more than anger would have. Seven months ago, you trusted him more than anyone else, she explained. You would have followed him anywhere. If he had told you to leave with him, you would have gone without asking questions. If he had told you that you needed medical help, you would have believed him. I swallowed. That’s not an answer. I know. Then give me one! My voice struck the walls harder than I intended. My mother flinched, and guilt immediately twi

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 51: THE PROMISE JACE COULDN’T REMEMBER

    Jace stared at the message on my phone as if the words had reached inside him and dragged something terrible into the light. His fingers loosened around mine, and for the first time since I had known him, he looked like someone who wanted to run away from the truth rather than face it. What did you promise my mother? I asked quietly. He shook his head. I don’t know. Jace, you just remembered Vale threatening to kill you if you remembered me. Now someone is asking what you promised my mother before the procedure. You must remember something. I’m trying, Carter. His voice cracked, and the frustration in it made me stop. I had spent so long demanding answers from everyone that I had forgotten what it felt like to search for memories that refused to return. Jace had been carrying his own confusion while helping me recover mine. Whatever happened seven months ago had hurt him too, even if he couldn’t explain how. I moved closer and took his hand again. I’m not accusing you. I j

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    Chapter 50: WHAT THEY DID TO JACE

    For several seconds, I couldn’t breathe. I stared at the photograph on my phone, trying to convince myself that I was misunderstanding what I saw. Jace lay unconscious on a metal table, his face turned slightly toward the camera. Adrian Vale stood beside him in a white coat, while my mother watched from the other side of the room. The image looked old, but the date stamped in the corner was unmistakable. Seven months ago. The night my memories disappeared. I lifted my eyes toward Jace. He was standing beside me, alive and confused, completely unaware that a photograph of him lying unconscious in a hidden medical room had just shattered everything I thought I knew about that night. "Jace," I whispered. He looked at me immediately. "What happened?" I couldn’t answer. I simply handed him my phone. His expression changed as he examined the photograph. First came confusion, then disbelief, and finally a kind of fear I had never seen in him before. He enlarged the image, studying th

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 49: THE WOMAN ON THE SCREEN

    “Because the man who raised you knows exactly where I have been for the last seven months." My mother’s words rang through the archive, and I turned toward Daniel so quickly that my shoulder struck the cabinet behind me. He didn’t move. His face had lost all its color, and his eyes remained fixed on the screen, where the woman wearing my mother’s pendant stood beneath a flickering hallway light. I wanted to believe it was another trick. We had been manipulated by recordings, anonymous messages, and photographs that seemed to reveal the truth before turning everything upside down. Someone could have stolen my mother’s voice and copied her appearance. Someone could have found her pendant and used it to make me believe the impossible. But the way she looked at the camera made my chest ache. "Mom?" I whispered. The woman pressed her palm against the wall beside her. "Carter, listen carefully. I don’t have much time." I stepped closer to the screen. "Are you alive? Where are you? I’v

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 48: THE PROMISE MY MOTHER MADE

    “Your mother should never have made that deal." Adrian Vale’s words followed me long after the monitor went dark. I stood staring at my reflection in the black screen, trying to recognize the person looking back at me. A few minutes earlier, I had believed the worst thing waiting inside the archive was the truth about my missing memories. Now I was being told that the man who had raised me might not be my biological father, that my mother had negotiated something with Adrian Vale, and that my entire childhood could have been built on an agreement I had never known existed. I turned toward Daniel. "What deal did she make with him?" He didn’t answer immediately. His eyes moved toward the door, then toward the cabinets filled with records. I could tell he was searching for a way to explain something he had avoided for years. "Carter, your mother was trying to protect you," he finally said. I laughed without humor. "Everyone keeps saying that. You, Ethan, Elias, even the people sendi
