“Far be it from me to judge another man,” Draco shrugs, “I’m sure he had his reasons.”

Raven groans inwardly, clenching her fist hard. Frustrated.

Draco replied to her so passively and his heartbeat was steady, no change, like he truly doesn’t know who the man is, as if he is speaking about a complete stranger and not himself. If her body, brain and heart do not remember him so well, she’d be convinced she got the wrong guy as he wants her to believe.

“You’re never going to admit it, are you?” Raven asks, her wall breaking, her voice almost shaky.

“I warned you about this bullshit, did I not?” Draco’s voice becomes even colder, his brows creasing. He looks away from the reflection and looks down at her, his words heavy and curt, “I am not who you think I am.”

A huge lump forces its way down Raven’s throat, tears coat her eyes and she twists her body to face him fully, looking into his eyes, allowing him see her pain, “I don’t believe you.”

She watches as Draco’s gaze shifts from her

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 64

    Draco can still hear, still hear Raven's voice calling him a cheap look-alike as he walks away.His steps falter a bit, but he continues walking immediately, refusing to show that her words have any effects on him.That is the last of his concerns, however.What actually grips him is the sight of Royce with Raven.He had heard enough of their conversation to know that the moon goddess had somehow matched the two together and that is what shakes him to the core.He cannot believe that of all the people in the world, the moon goddess had made Royce her second-chance mate. To him, it is the height of cruelty. More than avoiding Royce, he had walked away from the pair so quickly because he was unable to bear the sight of the pair together.If only he had not rejected Raven back then.Although, at the time, he was doing what he thought was the best decision.To save Raven from getting a lot more hurt– he did not want to break her heart by rejecting her, but it was the only choice he could

    “Thank you very much!” She almost exclaims. Now she can put the whole matter with the professor and his involvement in the whole thing to bed.“I just want to help you in any way that I can,” Royce replies with a humble smile.Raven is giddy with excitement and all her plans begin to reconstruct themselves before her.“This is going to help so much more than you realise. Now I can finally get to test the drug and I can’t wait to get to it!” she expresses.Royce gives her his rapt attention, silently allowing her to express herself fully.“And if the test results turn out to confirm my suspicions? It is over for the professor. I will gather every iota of evidence I can find against him and file an official complaint against him to the school authorities and to the police too,” she reveals, her eyes gleaming as she speaks.Royce pauses at her words, his brows pulling slightly.“I don’t think that is a good idea…” he trails off.Raven finally slows down at his words, turning to him in co

  • Till Death Do Us Apart   Chapter 62

    Raven’s heart thuds but she keeps her face straight and pretends to ignore the staring contest between the two men as she walks towards Royce. Without being told, she already knows why Royce is staring at him so intensely. Of course he thinks he is Draco, just like she had. Although she had learned the hard way. It finally took being abandoned at the face of danger for her to accept it. Draco would never have left her like that, she refuses to believe that he would. Her fists clench and unclench as she approaches a frowning Royce. “That’s not who you think he is,” she gestures back at Draco with a head tilt, seeing the expression on his face, blocking him from full view of Draco. Royce doesn’t reply and he lightly moves her from his line of sight, “what are you talking about?” “It’s not Draco, he’s just a cheap lookalike,” she says rather loudly, ensuring to catch a glance at Draco as she does but giving most of her attention to Royce. Draco is already turning around and walking

    The next day, Raven makes her way to school for one reason and one reason only. She still wants to prove that she is right about the drug. But for that to happen, she needs the actual drug samples, but she doesn't have any left, not in her apartment anyway. She has been avoiding campus for days now, but she knows that she cannot keep hiding forever. Not when students are still dying and she might be the only person who can figure out why. The walk to the chemistry building feels weird. It feels like everyone is staring at her even though they are probably not. Still, she keeps her head down and walks faster. When she gets to the lab, she hesitates for a second before scanning her access card. She is skeptical, thinking that the professor might have blocked her access to the lab. However, she's surprised to find that it still works when the door beeps green. She expected him to have cut her off by now after everything that happened. After the threats and the way she just dis

    Later that evening, Royce drives to his shoe factory on the outskirts of town. He walks through the factory floor, nodding at some of his men who are hanging around, before heading to a hidden entrance behind some gigantic shoe boxes. He opens the door and walks through. It leads down to a basement that is originally in the storage room, but he has converted it into something way more useful. The underground lab is small, but it has everything that he needs, state of the art equipment that is probably better than what they have at the university. In the middle of the room, Scott is hunched over a desk with Raven's journal spread out in front of him. He looks nervous as usual and keeps pushing his glasses up his nose. "How’s it going?" Royce asks. Scott jumps at his voice, snapping his gaze to him. "I have been looking at her methods, comparing them with the professor's formula. It's similar, but there are distinct changes." "If you want to ever see the sunlight again, you’d do
