Chapter 31: Broken Alliances

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 16.11.2025 17:05:03

Sleep is a stranger by the time dawn finally smears gray across the sky. I sit on the edge of my bed, elbows on my knees, staring at the last note like it’s some kind of radioactive object.

You’re running out of time.

My fingers run over the letters again and again until they blur. Every sound outside my door makes me flinch. Every thought circles back to the same, terrifying truth:

Someone isn’t just watching me.

Someone wants me gone.

Someone wants me like Noah.

My breath shudders out. I pres

  • 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

  • Sweetest Revenge   Chapter 28: Blackmail

    The first note should have been enough to scare me off. A warning, clear and simple. But Blackridge doesn’t operate in warnings—it operates in weapons. And tonight, I’m the one with a knife at my throat.The second note comes folded and tucked neatly into my

    I spend the next three days becoming a ghost. Not the invisible kind, though—I still show up to classes, still sit where I’m supposed to, still laugh at the right moments so no one suspects. But inside, I’m a shadow of myself. My body moves, but my mind is somewher

    The thing about anger is that it sneaks up on you. One second you’re holding it in, keeping your voice calm, your hands steady, your mask in place. The next, it’s a wildfire, burning through reason, scorching every ounce of control.That’s exactly what happens with Jace and me.We’re standing outsi

    The courtyard feels too still, like even the night itself is holding its breath. The stone path glows faintly under the lamplight, the shadows stretched long, dark, unforgiving. And here I am, standing too close to the one person I swore I would never let touch me.“You
