Rival's Marriage Agreement 177
I stared at the photograph until my eyes began hurting.Adrian.The person standing behind us was Adrian.He was holding a gun.My fingers tightened around the photograph as I looked at him, but he did not move.He simply stood there with his face completely drained of color.“Adrian,” I whispered.Nobody answered.I looked at Brandon.He looked at Adrian.Then I looked at Amelia, who was already crying.“What is this?”Adrian slowly stepped forward.“Cameron…”“No.”My voice came out sharper than I expected.“You don’t get to say my name like everything is normal.”Adrian stopped.I held up the photograph.“You had a gun.”His eyes closed.“Yes.”The room seemed to shrink around us.“You were there.”“Yes.”“You watched Brandon get shot.”“Yes.”“And you let me believe I did it?”Adrian’s face twisted with pain.“I didn’t let you believe anything.”“Then what did you do?”“I saved your life.”I laughed bitterly.“Everyone keeps saying that.”“Because it’s true.”“Then explain it!”Ad

Cameron POVFor a few seconds, I could not breathe.I stared at Brandon as if I had never seen him before, even though I had spent what felt like my entire life trying to remember his face.“You were dead,” I whispered.Brandon’s eyes filled with tears again.“I know.”“No.” I shook my head violently. “No, you were dead. I watched you die.”“You watched me disappear.”“I watched you die.”My voice cracked so badly that everyone in the room went silent.Brandon stepped toward me, but I immediately stepped backward.The movement hurt him.I could see it in his face.“Cameron…”“Don’t.”He stopped.I pressed my hands against my head, desperately trying to hold back the images fighting their way through my mind.Blood.A gun.Brandon on the floor.His hand reaching toward me.My own voice screaming his name.Then darkness.“I remember holding you,” I whispered.Brandon swallowed.“I remember.”“You were bleeding.”“Yes.”“There was so much blood.”“I know.”“I thought I killed you.”“You

Cameron’s POVI couldn’t breathe.I couldn’t even blink.The image was still inside my head.Blood.A gun.Brandon crying.And my hands covered in red.I looked down at my palms.They were clean.They had always been clean.But suddenly, I could feel the warmth of blood between my fingers.I could smell it.I could hear someone screaming.I squeezed my eyes shut.“Cameron.”Brandon’s voice sounded far away.“Cameron, look at me.”I couldn’t.“I killed someone.”“No.”His answer came immediately.“You don’t know that.”“My father said—”“Your father lies.”“But I remembered it!”Brandon grabbed my face gently.“Then remember everything.”I opened my eyes.He was standing inches away.His eyes were filled with fear.Not fear of me.Fear for me.“You remembered blood,” he whispered.“Yes.”“You remembered a gun.”“Yes.”“You remembered me.”I nodded.“But you didn’t remember who was holding the gun.”I froze.Brandon’s expression changed.“You don’t remember that part, do you?”“No.”He

Cameron’s POVI stared at my grandfather.He was crying.Not pretending.Not hiding it.Actually crying.And somehow, that was worse than anything my father could have said.Because my grandfather had always looked untouchable.He was the man who seemed to know every secret in the room.The man who always had an answer.The man who had spent years telling everyone that he was protecting us.Now he couldn’t even look me in the eyes.“Grandfather.”My voice barely came out.He wiped his face.“Cameron…”“Did I kill someone?”Nobody answered.My father’s expression remained calm.Almost too calm.Brandon stepped closer to me.“Don’t listen to him.”My father looked at Brandon.“You’re still protecting him.”“Yes.”“Even now?”“Especially now.”My father laughed.“You really are loyal.”Brandon’s jaw tightened.I looked at my grandfather again.“Tell me.”He closed his eyes.“Cameron, you need to understand what happened.”“No.”My voice became louder.“I don’t need another explanation th

Cameron’s POVMy father’s voice echoed through the tunnel.“Bring my son to me.”I couldn’t move.It was strange how one sentence could make every memory I’d ever buried claw its way back to the surface.My palms became sweaty.My chest tightened.And suddenly, I was twelve again.Standing in that hallway.Holding Amelia’s hand.Listening to my father’s footsteps getting closer.“Cameron.”Brandon’s voice pulled me back.I looked at him.He was standing directly in front of me.Protecting me.Again.“Stay behind me.”I swallowed.“I don’t want you to get hurt again.”His eyes softened.“I don’t care.”“I do.”He stared at me.Then I reached for his hand.“I care about you too much.”For a second, he looked like he wanted to say something.Then Ethan whispered,“Can we have this emotional moment somewhere that isn’t about to become a crime scene?”Adrian elbowed him.“Ow.”“What?”“You’re ruining the moment.”“I’m trying to keep everyone alive.”Despite everything, I almost smiled.The

Cameron’s POV“Amelia.”The name left my mouth like a question.Like if I said it too loudly, the voice would disappear.Nobody moved.Nobody dared to breathe.The darkness around us felt heavy, but somehow, all I could hear was my own heartbeat pounding inside my chest.Then the voice came again.“Cameron?”My knees almost gave out.Brandon caught me around the waist.“Easy.”I grabbed his arm.“She’s alive.”My voice cracked.“She’s actually alive.”My grandfather didn’t say anything.Ethan did.“Where is she?”The voice answered from somewhere behind us.“I’m here.”A tiny light flickered on.Then another.A figure slowly stepped out from behind one of the shelves.A woman.Her hair was longer than I remembered.Her face was thinner.She looked older.But I knew those eyes.I knew that smile.I knew the tiny scar above her eyebrow from when we were children and she had fallen off her bicycle because she insisted she could ride without holding the handles.My sister.My Amelia.My h

BRANDON’S POVLeaving the second time was harder.I didn’t expect that. I thought the first goodbye had taken all the fear with it, burned it off like nerves before a big jump. But standing in Cameron’s apartment again, my bag by the door, the sun barely up, my chest felt tight in a way I couldn’t

CAMERON’S POVSummer didn’t arrive loudly.It crept in through open windows, warm air, lighter clothes, and the way campus slowly emptied out like a party winding down. Finals ended. People left. The world got quieter again—but this time, it felt earned.Brandon’s internship offer sat between us li
Rival's Marriage Agreement Chapter 65
BRANDON’S POVNormal came back slowly.Not like a switch flipping on, but like a bruise fading—still tender if you touched it too hard, still visible if you looked closely, but not screaming anymore.Campus started acting like campus again.People rushed to class. Complained about deadlines. Argued
Rival's Marriage Agreement Chapter 64
CAMERON’S POVThe quiet felt illegal.That was the first thing I noticed the morning after everything ended. No buzzing phone. No anonymous messages. No trending hashtags attached to my name. Just sunlight slipping through the curtains and the soft sound of Brandon breathing beside me.I lay there
