The city felt different in daylight. Sonia stood at the edge of the square, watching as reporters packed up their gear, as students some in Daxton uniforms, some not gathered in small groups, voices low but determined. Posters with DA-XT1 and We Are Not Experiments fluttered on nearby walls.

It was over. Or so the world thought.

But for Sonia, it felt like they were only standing at the edge of a deeper fight.

Eric found her where she stood, silent, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets. His limp was less pronounced now, though she could still see the way pain flickered through his eyes when he moved too fast.

“You should rest,” she said softly, glancing at him.

He shook his head, his eyes never leaving hers. “I couldn’t sleep even if I tried.”

For a while, neither spoke. The wind picked up, stirring her hair across her face. Eric reached out without thinking, tucking the strands behind her ear. His fingers brushed her cheek, lingering just a second too long.

Sonia felt her breath hitch

  • The She Billionaire In Boy’s Blazer   Chapter 57- The Weight We Share

    Night fell soft over the city, a quilt of streetlights and neon casting everything in gold and shadow. Sonia and Eric walked side by side down a quiet street, their steps slow, unhurried for the first time in what felt like forever. The adrenaline had drained from their veins, leaving behind something gentler. Something real.Sonia glanced up at him, noticing the way the light caught the dark circles under his eyes, the faint scar on his cheek the one he got fighting for her. Fighting for them.“You’re limping again,” she said, nudging him gently.Eric smirked, but the exhaustion in his gaze didn’t fade. “You try outrunning bullets with a stitched-up side and tell me how it feels.”She rolled her eyes, but her fingers found his, lacing through them like it was the most natural thing in the world. “I’ll carry you next time.”His grip tightened. “You’ve carried enough.”They fell silent, but it wasn’t heavy anymore. It was the kind of quiet that wrapped around them like a promise.They

  • The She Billionaire In Boy’s Blazer   Chapter 55- The Spark They Can’t Kill

    The news broke like a dam burst.By morning, hashtags swarmed every corner of the internet #DaxtonFiles, #Crownfall, #SilasLives. Sonia watched the headlines scroll past on Alex’s cracked tablet as they sat huddled inside a safehouse basement miles from the ruins. The footage from the vault, the files they leaked everything was out. Anchors read it aloud in disbelief. Commentators speculated wildly. Police press conferences were rushed and panicked.But the truth was out.And there was no putting it back.Sonia sat on the floor, back against the wall, knees tucked to her chest. The damp concrete cooled her skin through the fabric of Silas’s blazer the same one she still wore. It had been her disguise. Her shield. Her weapon. But now it felt like something more. A legacy.Across the room, Silas leaned against a pillar, arms folded. His eyes were fixed on the screen, jaw clenched, but Sonia could tell beneath the stillness was relief. And grief. Both.Eric limped into the room with two

    The first bullet hit the stone just inches above Sonia’s head.She and Eric ducked behind a collapsed archway, dust choking the air. From the top of the ruined staircase, shadows moved armed Cartel operatives, shouting into radios, closing in fast.“We’re boxed in!” Eric hissed.Sonia clutched the bag tight against her chest. “We can’t let them take this.”“Then we run.”But there was no clear path. The only exit was back through the vault and that would mean being cornered.Eric looked at the jagged hole in the east wall. “There. Through the old chapel wing.”Sonia hesitated. That part of Daxton was condemned, rumored to have collapsed years ago. But rumors didn’t matter now. Only choices. Only survival.She nodded. “Go.”They sprinted, dodging fire as stone and glass exploded behind them. Eric limped slightly, still recovering, but he never slowed. Sonia led the way, ducking under a hanging beam and bursting into the old chapel.Inside, the roof was half-caved in. Light pierced thro

    Sonia pressed her back against the cold metal wall, heart pounding. Footsteps echoed above measured, deliberate, hunting. Eric stood beside her, blade in hand, body tense. He didn’t say a word, but the glance he gave her was enough: We hold. We wait.She nodded once.The voices grew louder. Two men, maybe three. Cartel scouts, judging by the clipped, radio-charged tone of their speech.“Surveillance room’s down here,” one said. “Check behind the cabinets.”Sonia’s eyes darted to the far corner. There was a narrow crawlspace behind the filing shelves, hidden behind the false panel she and Silas had once reinforced with metal plating. She moved fast, silent, slipping behind the cabinet and pulling Eric with her.The wall was close. Too close. Their bodies pressed together, breaths shallow.“Stay quiet,” she mouthed.A creak. A thud.The door to the room slammed open.Heavy boots crunched over broken tile.One of the men laughed. “Looks like someone’s been here. Fresh footprints.”Sonia’

  • The She Billionaire In Boy’s Blazer   Chapter 52- Smoke and Memory

    The Daxton campus was a ruin wrapped in silence.The great iron gates were torn open, half-melted at the hinges. The manicured hedges were scorched black. Smoke curled from the remains of the west wing, where the ballroom had once glittered with chandeliers and secrets. Now it was all ash and fractured marble.Sonia stood just beyond the gates, her breath catching. It didn’t look like a school anymore. It looked like a battleground. But her feet carried her forward, through the smoke, past the courtyard statues now crumbled and charred.Eric moved beside her, his steps cautious but determined. His side was healing, but every breath still made him wince. She hated seeing him hurt. But more than that, she respected that he came anyway.“We need to move fast,” he murmured, scanning the upper balconies. “If the Cartel’s still here…”“They will be,” Sonia said. “But not for long.”They took a path around the main building, their boots crunching over broken glass and gravel. The gymnasium h
