CHAPTER 154:

Ryder’s POV

I wake before Ollie does.

The rain is gone. Morning light slips through the curtains, pale and quiet. The room feels still, like the world is holding its breath.

Ollie is curled on his side, facing me. His hair falls into his eyes. His mouth is slightly open when he sleeps, like he forgot to close it. One arm is wrapped around the pillow, but his leg is thrown over mine like he doesn’t want me to move.

I don’t.

I lie there and watch him breathe.

Slow in. Slow out.

  • The College Bad Boy's Target    Chapter 155

    CHAPTER 155:Ollie’s POVI wake up to light.Not the sharp kind that hurts my eyes. The soft kind. The kind that feels like it is touching me instead of attacking me.Ryder is still asleep.He lies on his back, one arm thrown over his head. His chest rises and falls slow and steady. I listen to it for a while, like it is music. Like if I stop listening, something bad will happen.I don’t move at first.I’m scared to.Sometimes when things feel too calm, my body waits for the crash. For shouting. For fear. For the sound of a door slamming. My brain tells me peace is temporary.But nothing happens.Ryder doesn’t disappear. The room doesn’t change. The light stays soft.So I move.Slowly, I sit up and pull the blanket around me. My heart feels heavy but not broken. More like tired. Like it ran too far yesterday and needs to rest today.I look at Ryder again.He looks different when he sleeps. Less sharp. Less guarded. Just… human.I wonder what he dreams about.I wonder if I’m in them.I

The room feels still, like the world is holding its breath.Ollie is curled on his side, facing me. His hair falls into his eyes. His mouth is slightly open when he sleeps, like he forgot to close it. One arm is wrapped around the pillow, but his leg is thrown over mine like he doesn’t want me to move.I don’t.I lie there and watch him breathe.Slow in. Slow out.For a long time, I was scared to sleep. Every night felt like a test. Would he wake up screaming? Would he push me away? Would he disappear back into himself?Last night, he slept through.That feels like a miracle.I reach out and brush his hair away from his face. My touch is light, like I’m afraid I might break him.He stirs. His brow tightens for a second.“Ollie,” I whisper.He hums softly and turns his face into the pillow.I smile before I can stop myself.He looks peaceful. Not running. Not h

  • The College Bad Boy's Target    CHAPTER 153

    CHAPTER 153:Ollie's POV.I wake up to the sound of rain.Not heavy rain. Just soft tapping against the window, like someone knocking gently and waiting to be let in.For a second, I don’t know where I am.My body feels warm. Safe. My cheek is pressed against something solid.Ryder.His arm is around my waist. His chest rises and falls under my ear. His heart beats slow and steady, like it has nowhere else to be.I close my eyes again.I don’t want to move.The past weeks have been full of waking up alone. Full of panic. Full of that sharp fear that sits in your stomach before your brain even understands it.But right now, there is no fear.Just rain. And Ryder. And this quiet moment where nothing hurts.I breathe in slowly.His scent is familiar. Soap and coffee and something that is just him. It makes my chest ache in a good way.I shift a little, and he stirs.“Ollie?” he murmurs, still half asleep.“I’m here,” I whisper.His arm tightens around me like his body did it before his m

  • The College Bad Boy's Target    Chapter 152

    CHAPTER 152:RYDER'S POV.I wake up before the sun.It is still dark, that soft gray hour when the world feels like it is holding its breath. The house is quiet except for the hum of the fridge and the slow sound of Ollie’s breathing beside me.For a second, I just lie there and listen to him.Last night did not end in shouting. It did not end in anger. It ended in something worse and better at the same time—truth. Ollie cried in my arms until his body went heavy with sleep. I stayed awake longer than I should have, watching his face, afraid that if I slept, I would miss something. Afraid he would disappear.I turn my head and look at him now.He is curled on his side, knees drawn up, hands tucked under his chin like a child. His hair falls into his eyes. There is a faint bruise still on his cheek. It is lighter now, but I see it every time I look at him.I reach out slowly, careful not to wake him, and brush his hair back.My chest tightens.I have fought men bigger than me. I have s

  • The College Bad Boy's Target    Lines That Cannot Be Uncrossed

    Chapter 151 — Lines That Cannot Be UncrossedRyder’s POVThe door handle stops moving.Silence slams into the room so hard it feels louder than the rattle ever was. My body stays locked in place, every instinct stretched tight, listening for a breath, a step, anything. Ollie stands frozen a few feet behind me, his fear rolling off him in waves I can almost taste.I signal for him to stay back without looking at him. I check the locks, the peephole, the hallway camera feed on my phone. Nothing. Empty corridor, dim lights, no movement. Whoever touched the handle is gone, or never meant to come in at all.That almost makes it worse.I secure the door again, slower this time, deliberately loud, grounding myself in the sound. When I turn around, Ollie has wrapped his arms around his own chest, shoulders drawn inward like he is trying to disappear.Something inside me snaps, not violently, but cleanly, like a cord pulled too tight for too long.I cross the space between us and crouch in fro

  • The College Bad Boy's Target    What I Don't Say

    Chapter 150 — What I Don’t SayOllie’s POVThe worst part is not the fear.It is the way fear changes shape, how it settles into my bones and pretends to be something else. Control. Productivity. Calm. I wake up the morning after Ryder overhears my call with my heart already racing, my body braced for confrontation that does not come right away. He watches me carefully, too carefully, like he is afraid a wrong word might make me disappear.I hate that look.So I move.I clean the kitchen before he finishes his coffee. I reorganize the shelves that do not need reorganizing. I make lists in my head, grocery lists, escape routes, things we might need if we leave again. I keep my hands busy because if I stop, if I sit, if I breathe too deeply, everything spills out at once.Ryder lets me.At first.He asks if I slept. I say enough. He asks if I want breakfast. I say later. He asks if I want to talk about yesterday. I say there is nothing to talk about. My voice is steady, convincing, almo
