My Ex's Best Friend Is My Fake Boyfriend Chapter 32
The next morning, walking through the school gates felt strangely unfamiliar. After everything that had happened, I had almost forgotten what an ordinary school morning was supposed to feel like. Students crowded the entrance, laughing and arguing about homework, while others hurried toward their classrooms with books pressed against their chests. For a few seconds, I simply stood there and watched them, wondering how everyone else could move through life so normally when mine felt like it had been turned upside down.Then I saw Jake.He was leaning against the wall near the entrance, his backpack hanging from one shoulder. The moment his eyes found mine, his expression softened into the smile I had missed more than I wanted to admit.“Morning,” he said when I approached.“Morning.”His eyes searched my face. “Did you sleep?”“Barely.”“I figured.”“How?”“You have that look.”I raised an eyebrow. “What look?”“The one that says you've spent the whole night overthinking.”I laughed s

Jake's last words kept repeating inside my head.There is another name written beside yours. Mine.I stared at my phone as if he might call back and explain everything.He didn't.“Emma,” Chloe said softly, “what did he say?”I looked at her.“He found a file with my name on it.”My mother covered her mouth.“And Jake's name was beside mine.”The room went silent.Chloe walked toward the laptop and looked at the documents again.“Maybe there's something here that explains it.”She began opening the files one after another while I stood beside her, barely breathing.Most of the documents were financial records, but then she found a scanned page titled Project Aster.“What is that?” I asked.“I don't know.”She opened it.There were several names listed, but most had been blacked out.My eyes immediately went to the first visible name.Emma Carter.My heart stopped.“That’s me.”Below my name was a date.My date of birth.I stepped closer.“This can't be real.”My mother looked over my

I stared at the letter in my mother's hands, unable to process what I had just heard.Never let Emma trust the Knight family.The words seemed to swallow every happy memory I had of Jake.His smile.His hand in mine.Our first kiss.The way he'd promised that he would never leave me.How could the boy I loved be connected to something my father had feared enough to write about?“Mom,” I whispered, “why would Dad write that?”She shook her head.“I don't know.”“You must know something.”“I don't.”“Then why are you so afraid?”Her eyes filled with tears.“Because your father was terrified before he died.”The room became painfully quiet.Chloe stepped closer.“What happened to Emma's father?”My mother looked at her.“He was investigating Richard's death.”I frowned.“You told me Dad thought Richard's death wasn't an accident.”“Yes.”“And then Dad died too.”She nodded slowly.“Two years later.”A chill ran through me.“What happened?”“He was driving home one evening when another ca

For several seconds, I couldn't speak.I kept staring at Chloe's phone, unable to tear my eyes away from the message.Stop protecting Emma. Or Jake dies.My hands turned cold.“Jake,” I whispered.Chloe nodded.“I received that message less than an hour ago.”My mother looked terrified.“Why would they threaten Jake?”“Because he's getting too close to the truth,” Chloe replied.I looked at her sharply.“You said you didn't know who was behind this.”“I don't.”“Then how do you know they're after Jake?”“Because I've been getting messages too.”She pulled out her phone and showed me several screenshots. Most were short warnings telling her to stay away from me, but one message caught my attention.The girl doesn't know what her family did.I looked at my mother.“What does that mean?”My mother closed her eyes.“I don't know.”Chloe shook her head.“You do.”My mother looked at her.“You shouldn't be involved in this.”“I already am.”“You don't understand how dangerous this is.”Chlo

I stared at the final message until the words blurred.But I can.Whoever was behind the messages wasn't simply watching me anymore. They were trying to make me believe they were the only person capable of protecting me.Jake looked at my phone again, his expression hardening.“Block the number.”I hesitated.“Why?”“Because whoever this is wants you to be scared.”I nodded and blocked it.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.Then Jake looked at me.“Are you staying alone tonight?”“I'll be fine.”“Emma.”“I'll be fine.”He sighed.“I know you're trying to be strong, but you don't have to do everything alone.”I looked at him.“Stay?”His expression softened.“Of course.”We sat in the living room while my mother remained upstairs. She had barely spoken since Jake arrived.I leaned against the couch, watching the clock.“Do you ever feel like our lives changed overnight?” I asked.Jake smiled faintly.“Mine did.”“How?”He looked at me.“When you asked me to fake-date you.”I smile

For several seconds, nobody spoke.My mother's words hung in the room like a warning.Richard is dead.I looked at the photograph in my hand again, suddenly seeing it differently. The smiling family picture no longer looked harmless. The man standing behind us wasn't simply a stranger anymore. He was someone connected to a secret that had followed my family for years.“Mom,” I whispered, “when did Richard die?”She looked away.“Three years ago.”“Three years?”“Yes.”“Then why did you say you thought everything was over?”“Because after his death, the threats stopped.”Ethan stepped closer.“Who was threatening you?”My mother shook her head.“I never knew.”“But someone knew about Richard,” Ethan said. “Someone knew about the money.”She nodded.“Your father was involved?”“My husband knew there was a problem with the company, but he didn't know who was responsible. Richard was the one who discovered the missing money.”Ethan's expression hardened.“And my father?”“Your father was
