REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 51: falling apart quietly
For a second, or maybe a whole minute. I wasn’t sure, I just sat there on the carpet staring at the screen like it was lying to me. Because it had to be lying. It had to be some sick joke, some hacker, some random idiot pretending to be Marcus. . ,or something Because of the alternative, the idea that Zayden was out there somewhere, taken, trapped, hurt, alone.My chest twisted so sharply I had to bend forward and grab my knees.A tiny sound came out of me. Not even a cry. More like air escaping, weak and terrified.“No… no no no…”My fingers shook so much I almost dropped the phone again. The message glared back at me like it was proud of what it’d done.He didn’t leave by choice.I pressed a hand to my mouth because my throat felt raw, like something was lodged there. And then everything inside me cracked open in one awful, quiet burst.I didn’t scream.I didn’t wail.I didn’t even sob.I just… folded.My body leaned against the bed frame, forehead pr
REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 50: Goodbye without goodbye
Evelyn’s scream sliced through the house so sharply that my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I froze with the phone still pressed to my ear, Zayden’s fading “Vivienne, listen to me” echoing in my head like it was trapped inside a tunnel.Another scream.Louder.Shakier.“Vivienne!”I dropped the phone, literally let it crash to the carpet because something inside me snapped clean open. I rushed to the door, yanking uselessly at the lock my father had installed like I was a prisoner in my own house.“Mom!” I shouted, slamming both palms against the wood. “Mom, what happened?!”No answer.Footsteps thundered down the hallway, too fast, too heavy. I didn’t even think I backed away from the door like whoever was coming might break it down.The lock clicked.Not gently.Not slowly.It twisted like someone’s hand trembled.Then the door creaked open and Evelyn’s face appeared in the crack.She was pale. Not tired-pale. Not worried-pale.Terrified.
REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 49: Call me back
The tap on my window didn’t stop.One…Two…Pause.Three.Like some creepy Morse code I didn’t want to decode.I pressed myself against the wall. The shadows outside didn’t move away. They just stayed rooted there, staring up at me My father had locked me in, but apparently the monsters lived outside now.I swallowed hard and forced myself toward the dresser, keeping my eyes flicking between the window and the half-lit hallway under my door. Everything felt wrong. Too quiet. Too dark.My phone buzzed again.Not the unknown number this time.Zayden: V, answer me.I didn’t answer, not yet. My hands were shaking too much.“Think,” I whispered to myself, even though my thoughts were doing anything but that. “Think, Vivienne.”My father was still storming somewhere downstairs. Evelyn’s voice floated faintly through the house, anxious, trembly, trying to argue with him. I had no idea if they knew someone was outside or if I was the only one aware of it.
REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 48: locked in
My legs didn’t even feel like mine anymore. The alley blurred behind me, Zayden’s voice still echoing in my head like it was stuck inside my skull.“My father betrayed us on purpose.”I didn’t wait for him to say anything else. I couldn’t. If I’d stayed one more second, I was pretty sure something inside me would’ve cracked open. So I turned and walked, no, practically stumbled away before he could stop me.My thoughts were loud . My father betrayed us? Betrayed who? And why did “us” sound like it included me and Zayden as some… unit?I didn’t want to think about that part.I walked faster. My chest felt tight. My fingers trembled as I dug inside my pocket.By the time I reached home, my body was running on pure adrenaline and anger. The gates opened automatically. The house loomed, too bright, too big, too familiar in all the wrong ways. I shouldn’t have come back but where the hell else was I supposed to go?I pushed the door open and stepped inside. The silenc
REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 47: lines drawn in the dark
Everything happened too fast for my brain to catch up.One second I was trying to figure out why the hell my father’s chauffeur , the quiet, polite, never-lifts-his-eyes Lewis had a Sun Slicer chain around his neck, and the nextThe lights died.I didn’t even hear a switch. It was like someone ripped the electricity out of the walls. The darkness was thick, suffocating, the kind that crawled under your skin.ThenA hand clamped over my mouth.Not rough at first. Weirdly gentle, like someone handling breakable things.I panicked anyway.My heart shot straight to my throat. I tried to scream but the palm blocked it, muffling the sound into my own breath.I twisted. Fought. My nails scratched against an arm, fabric, thick, maybe a jacket. The smell of cologne hit me, something familiar and clean and“Vivienne.”The whisper was harsh, right against my ear.Zayden.Relief slammed into me so hard my knees buckled. He loosened his grip, letting me bre
REBEL IN MY HEART Chapter 46: The price of disappearing
The night had swallowed Derek whole, leaving nothing but the echo of his boots fading into the dark. Zayden stood there for a second, breathing like someone who’d been punched in a place no one could see. His hand was still wrapped around mine, warm and steady, even though everything else around us felt like a storm about to rip open.“Vivienne,” he murmured, eyes scanning the shadows. “We’re running out of time.”I nodded because speaking felt dangerous. The kind of dangerous where if I opened my mouth, everything I’d been holding inside would come spilling out. My fear. My anger. The ugly, bitter truth that I wasn’t sure I knew who my father even was anymore.Before either of us took a step, Zayden’s phone vibrated again.He checked the screen. His expression shifted into something unreadable ,tight, restrained, almost… irritated.“What?” I asked, even though a small part of me didn’t want the answer.He swallowed. “Your father wants to meet.”My chest clenched
