Wren’s Pov

By the time my last class ended, my brain felt completely fried.

Between Cyrus cornering me outside the scholarship office, the cafeteria disaster yesterday, and the nonstop whispers around campus, I was hanging onto my sanity by a thread. All I wanted was to get home, curl into bed, and pretend none of this existed. I mean don’t people get over things already? It has been a whole day!

Unfortunately, life hated me.

“Wren!”

I looked up just in time to see Gen speed-walking toward me t

  • The Bully's Regret   Chapter 74

    Wren CarterI don't remember how I got back to my apartment.One second I was standing in that alley staring at Cyrus's phone. The next I was fumbling with my keys so badly that I dropped them twice before managing to unlock the door.The moment I stepped inside, every ounce of strength left my body. The apartment was silent. Too silent.Just emptiness.I slammed the door shut behind me and locked it immediately before stumbling toward my bedroom.My breathing came out in uneven bursts. My chest hurt. Everything hurt. The image flashed through my mind again.My mother. Sleeping peacefully in that hospital bed.And that message.Stop running away if you want to see her alive.My knees buckled. I hit the side of my bed hard before collapsing onto the mattress. A sob tore through my chest. Then another.Before I knew it, I was curled into a ball with my face buried in my pillow.Crying.Shaking.Breaking.I hated crying. Because crying never fixed anything.It never paid bills. Never bou

    Cyrus BlackwoodI stared at the screen for several seconds before my brain finally caught up with what my eyes were seeing. The photo was recent. Painfully recent. The fluorescent hospital lighting. The pale blue blanket. The heart monitor beside the bed.Wren's mother.Sleeping.My stomach twisted violently. Beside the image was a single message from an unknown number.Stop running away if you want to see her alive.For a moment, I couldn't breathe. The words seemed to burn themselves into my brain as I read them again and again, hoping they would somehow change. They didn't.Slowly, I turned the phone toward Wren.The moment her eyes landed on the screen, all the color drained from her face. Her entire body went rigid. "No..." The whisper barely reached my ears. Her fingers trembled as she took the phone from my hand. "No. No, no, no..." I watched her stare at the picture. At her mother. At the message.Again.And again.Like if she looked long enough, it would somehow stop being re

  • The Bully's Regret   Chapter 72

    Wren CarterI hated walking home after dark. Maybe hated wasn't the right word. Feared was probably more accurate. I adjusted the strap of my bag and quickened my pace as another car drove past. My stomach tightened immediately.Not again. For the past week, I had felt it. That horrible sensation. Like someone was watching me. Following me. Waiting. At first I thought I was imagining things. Stress. Lack of sleep. An overactive imagination.But now?Now I wasn't so sure. A black sedan rolled slowly around the corner. My heart nearly stopped. It wasn't the same one. Or maybe it was. I couldn't tell anymore. All I knew was that every dark-colored vehicle made my pulse spike.I looked over my shoulder.Nothing.Then again.Still nothing.But the feeling remained. Someone was there.I could feel it. My grip tightened around my bag. The sidewalk suddenly felt too empty.Too quiet. Too exposed.A car horn sounded somewhere behind me. I nearly jumped out of my skin. "Damn it."I started walk

    Cyrus BlackwoodThe punching bag swung violently as my fist connected with it again.And again.And again.Sweat dripped down my neck while my muscles burned from the workout.Normally, physical exhaustion helped clear my head.Tonight it wasn't working.Every punch somehow led back to Wren.The fear on her face yesterday.The way she refused to trust me.The way she'd looked at me in that hospital corridor as if I was the villain in her story.Maybe I was.My phone vibrated on the nearby bench.Immediately, I stopped.Finally.I grabbed the towel around my neck and picked up the device.The message was from the contact I'd hired to investigate the car.I opened it.My anticipation lasted exactly three seconds.Then my expression darkened.Unknown: Bad news.Unknown: Plate is fake.Unknown: Vehicle records were tampered with.A frown formed between my brows.I continued reading.Unknown: Registered owner died six months ago.Unknown: Whoever is using the car covered their tracks.Unkn

    Ignoring me. That was her new favorite hobby. I leaned against the wall outside my classroom and watched Wren exit through the opposite hallway. The second her eyes landed on me, she immediately turned around and took another route.Again.My jaw tightened. Three days. For three damn days she had been avoiding me. Every corridor. Every class break. Every lunch period. Every opportunity I got to approach her.Gone.The moment she saw me, she vanished. At first, I thought it was amusing. Then irritating.Now?Now it was driving me insane."She's avoiding you." Ryan's voice came from beside me."No shit."Ryan grinned. "Never thought I'd live long enough to see Cyrus Blackwood get ignored."I shot him a glare. His grin widened. Lucas laughed. Even Ethan looked entertained. Unfortunately for me. That entertainment didn't last."This is pathetic." I turned my head slowly. Ethan was looking at me with obvious disapproval. The others immediately went quiet."What did you just say?"He shrugg

  • The Bully's Regret   Chapter 69

    Wren CarterI should've known peace wouldn't last. The moment I stepped onto campus the next morning, something felt off. People weren't openly staring anymore. They weren't whispering as loudly either. But there was still this strange tension hanging in the air. Like everyone was waiting for something to happen. I tightened my grip on my backpack and headed toward the academic building.Just make it through the day.That was all I wanted. One normal day. Apparently that was too much to ask."Well, look who it is."I stopped walking.Of course.Christy.She stood in the middle of the pathway with four of her cheerleader friends behind her. Like a badly organized crime syndicate. I sighed."Move."Christy's smile widened. "Oh, we're starting with attitude already?" A smile stretched across Christy's face."My God, Cyrus spends two seconds looking at you and suddenly you forget your place."I let my eyes travel over her perfectly styled hair, expensive clothes, and fake smile."Interest
