Sweetest Revenge Chapter 38: Where the Lights Never Turn Off
I don’t tell Jace.The decision settles in my chest the moment I read the message, heavy and cold, like a stone dropped into deep water. I know I should tell him. I know every instinct I have is screaming that this is a trap.But Noah didn’t stop when things got dangerous.And neither can I.The rest of the day passes in a blur. Teachers talk. Students laugh. Someone bumps into me in the hallway and apologizes, completely unaware that my mind is somewhere else entirely. Every sound feels too loud. Every shadow feels like it’s leaning in closer.By the time the final bell rings, my nerves are stretched thin.I wait.I let the campus empty. I let the sun sink lower, painting the buildings in warm gold that feels wrong, almost mocking. I text Jace something vague about being exhausted and turning in early.The lie tastes bitter.When I finally leave the dorm, it’s nearly dark. I pull my
Sweetest Revenge Chapter 37: What He Did Next
Jace doesn’t answer right away.That silence is worse than any confession.The morning air feels suddenly heavier, like it’s pressing down on my shoulders. My phone is still clutched in my hand, the screen dark now, but the words from that unknown number keep echoing in my head.Ask him what he did with the tape after Noah vanished.“Jace,” I say quietly. “You’re scaring me.”He closes his eyes for a moment, like he’s bracing himself against something painful. When he opens them again, the boy who usually hides behind confidence and sharp edges looks stripped bare.“I didn’t destroy it,” he says immediately. “If that’s what you’re thinking.”Relief flickers through me, fragile and shaky. “Then where is it?”He exhales slowly. “After Noah disappeared, everything changed. My dad locked the station down. Files vanished. People stopped talking. Anyone who had been even remotely involved was suddenly transferred or silenced.”I swallow. “Including you?”He nods once. “Especially me.”I can
Sweetest Revenge Chapter 36: The Truth Doesn’t Whisper
I don’t sleep.I lie on my bed staring at the ceiling while the dark slowly turns gray, replaying the video over and over in my head. Noah’s face. Jace stepping between him and his father. The way the footage cut out right when everything mattered.By the time my alarm buzzes, my head is pounding and my chest feels tight, like I’ve been holding my breath all night.I get dressed quietly. Hoodie. Jeans. Hair tied back. I don’t bother trying to look like Eva Sinclair this morning. I don’t have the energy for pretending.My phone buzzes once.Jace: I’m already there.No emoji. No sarcasm. Just words that feel heavy.I slip out of the dorm before anyone else is awake. The campus is quiet in that eerie early-morning way, when everything looks softer but feels more dangerous. Fog hangs low near the football field. The buildings loom like they’re listening.We agreed to meet near the old chess tables by the courtyard. Noah taught me how to play there once, years ago, when I used to come watc
Sweetest Revenge Chapter 35: No Safe Corners
We don’t stop running until the cold air burns my lungs and my legs start to shake.Jace finally pulls me behind the science building, into a narrow space between brick walls where the lights don’t quite reach. We bend forward, hands on our knees, trying to breathe quietly like we didn’t just sprint from security guards and ghosts with secrets.“Okay,” I whisper once my heart slows a little. “That was… not part of the plan.”Jace lets out a sharp laugh, the kind that sounds like it hurts. “Pretty sure the plan died back in the old wing.”I straighten, hugging my arms around myself. My phone is still warm in my palm. That message feels like it’s burning through my skin.They’re closer than we think.And they’re scared.“Caleb wasn’t lying,” I say. “About Noah.”Jace nods slowly. “I know.”“You don’t even hesitate,” I murmur.He looks at me, really looks at me, and something serious settles in his eyes. “Because a lot of what he said lines up with things I wasn’t supposed to know.”My s
Sweetest Revenge Chapter 34: Footsteps in the Dark
The figure disappears around the corner, shoes slapping against concrete.“Hey!” Jace shouts.We don’t think. We move.I run after him, heart hammering so hard it feels like it might crack my ribs. The side of the administration building blurs past me, lights streaking, shadows stretching long and crooked. Whoever it is runs fast. Too fast for someone who just stumbled into trouble by accident.They knew where to go.“Don’t lose them,” Jace says, breath sharp beside me.“I won’t,” I answer, even though my lungs are already burning.The path narrows between buildings, dimmer here, quieter. My shoes skid slightly on fallen leaves. I almost slip, but Jace grabs my arm and pulls me upright without slowing down.“Thanks,” I gasp.“Focus,” he says. “They’re heading toward the old wing.”My stomach tightens. The old wing is barely used anymore. A relic from Blackridge’s past. Half the lights don’t work, and security cameras are rumored to be “under maintenance” for months. Convenient.Too co
Sweetest Revenge Chapter 33: The Unseen Player
Here ream slices through the maze like a knife, freezing my blood in an instant.“Ava!”My name—my real one—echoes across the campus.Jace and I stare at each other for half a second. That’s all it takes.Then we run.Branches whip against my arms as we tear through the hedge maze, slipping out the other side and sprinting across the quad. Students stop and stare, murmuring, confused and alarmed, but I don’t slow down. I don’t breathe. I don’t think.My legs move on instinct—toward danger, not away.“Ava, slow down—” Jace grabs my wrist.“No!” I yank free. “Someone called my name. They know me. They know who I am.”“Ava, we don’t know what we’re walking into—”“That’s exactly why I’m not stopping.”He curses, but runs beside me anyway.The closer we get to the administration building, the louder the noise becomes—not another scream, but frantic voices, footsteps, the sharp sound of someone crying. A crowd has already gathered at the steps.And then I see her.Mira. The friendly outsid
