ELI

.

I didn’t go to class today. Doubted I had even had breakfast. Four hours of sleep and I was already awake, sitting before the laptop watching number—views, shares, comments—climbing higher and higher.

The voting portal wouldn’t officially open until the evening. But students kept reposting the finalist, comparing likes and shares like they were results.

And I was no different.

Right now, popularity was everything.

And mine was exploding.

  • Trapped Between Two Alpha Captains   Chapter 94

    ELI..My eyes fluttered open, the morning sun falling over my face. I was still alive.Grunting, I curled into a fetal position. I held the position longer than necessary, waiting for my chest not to ache. Waiting for a sign to feel like I had actually woken up.But it never came.I stared at the blank screen of my phone, hesitant to reach for it.A sharp exhale, I sat up, sluggish, as if cement had replaced the fluid in my bones.I opened our—John and I—DM. My message sat there, a long desperate blue bubbles. Read. Read. Read. Yet no response.My thumbs trembled as I typed. “Please, just respond to me.”I was about to hit send when I saw his profile was gone, replaced by a black-and-grey silhouette.I dialed his number but it didn’t connect, it just cut to a flat, dead tone.My heart plummeted.Seconds passed as my gaze latched onto the blank screen, unblinking.I leaned back, my head pressed into the wall of my bedside, my legs crossed.My breath stuttered as I shut my eyes.How

    ELI . . Tick. Tick. Tick. The clock's ticking filled the room like a countdown to the showdown. I was seated on the chair, spine curved, my index fingers tapping against each other. A knock slammed against the door, and my body jerked. I stared at the door, unable to stand, unable to move. The knock came again. Harder. Harsher. “Eli.” John’s voice came through the crack of the door. Once, twice, I swallowed before pushing myself off the chair and clumped towards the door. My fingers hovered over the knob before I pulled it open. As John stepped inside, the tension on his face hit me. His jaw was locked, his eyes were dark. And suddenly, I wondered if I should still say it. I shut the door quietly behind us. My mouth opened, but before I could talk, John spoke. “When did you say the contract was ending again?” John asked, scratching the side of his head. “After the result is announced.” The lie came out easier this time. “Three to four days from now.”

    ZANE..The lecturer hadn’t arrived yet. Loud mutters of students filled the lecture hall, but my attention was buried in my phone—the voting site.The poll refreshed again;Donald: 8,412John: 8,201Donald’s number kept crawling upward, like it was trying to mock me.I had already done everything within my reach—shared links, drew attention, shared money to those who could get people to vote.Still, it wasn’t enough. And Eli was running out of time.I was drumming my fingers on the large textbook opened before me, when a text came in.Dempsey: I just saw your mother at the administration block.My eyes paused on the message. Then something clicked.I packed my textbook into my bag and headed out.The afternoon heat punched my skin as I headed towards my car. As I drove, my mind already started arranging the conversation.My father would ask many questions. Who is that friend? Why did it matter? Why was I involving myself?But my mother…she was different. She never asked questions.

    ELI..“I really think this is a bad idea.” My eyes remained on the grey shirt I had already washed, ironed, and wrapped nicely in a laundry nylon.“Do you think he’s going to stop at this?”Louis raised his voice, as if he were screaming louder, it would get through my skull.But nothing would. Not at this point. Not when Friday had already come knocking on my door.“If you give him the money, do you think he’d stop at that amount?” Louis continued. “Next time he’d ask for ten, then twenty.”A part of me knew that. But maybe… just maybe, he needed the money. Years in prison should’ve taught him a lesson. And maybe once I gave him, things would end quietly. Once he got the money, he’d vanished. And even if he did return, I’d have won. I’d have enough to give him, until John and I are far away.I swung my gaze to him. “Did you message the guy?”Louis sighed heavily. “Just tell John,” he said.My face screwed into a frown so fast my muscles hurt. “Let me have the guy’s number.”Louis

    ELI..The hallway light still flickered, but no matter how the light shifted, I still knew those eyes.Grey hair streaked his full beard, and faint wrinkles lined his face. But still, he looked the same—the same eyes, the same mouth, the same presence that burned my lungs.His gaze swept over me, head to toe, then a small smile curled a corner of his lips upward.“Well,” he said, “look at you. You grew taller.”I couldn’t move.“I thought you’d stay short like your mother.” His smile widened. “You surprised me.”His voice sounded soft. Anyone hearing him would think he was a doting father.A nausea slithered down my throat. A part of me whispered: You’re taller than him now. Another whispered, louder: Run, Eli, run.But my feet stayed deeply rooted to the ground.His gaze drifted towards the room door. “Aren’t you going to let your father in?”Even when I knew better, I did. But my fingers reached for my key in my pocket.I fumbled with the key, but I caught it before it slipped

Thousands of his followers commented under his post: "I’ll be voting for this."I should’ve felt elated, happy. But I didn’t. No one told me that the price of having someone boost your work, was emptiness. “This is what I mean,” Louis said from behind me, drinking his cup of coffee. “Your sugar daddy is terrifyingly efficient.”“He’s not my sugar daddy.”Louis snorted.My eyes l

    ELI..His words settled between us.“If John hadn’t come to me, you would have never told me.”Up close, I could see every speck of blue in his eyes. One shade softened into another. I hissed. I should be creating space between us, not noticing whatever is going on in those eyes.I pushed agains

    Eli ..We could have talked on the bench outside my hostel, but he had to choose this place.A place where the chair felt wrong beneath me, and the expensive leather felt like it had tiny needles prickling at my skin. Almost like it was built to reject people like me.And I had a feeling this was

    ELI..I finally spotted Zane, buried deep in the library.He sat on the tall stool tucked beneath a high table bolted to the wall, one foot hooked on the metal rung, the other stretched out.His gaze lifted and landed on me like he had sensed me.I settled in the seat across from him, my feet b

    Eli..The blindfold came off, air hitting my eyes. Zane cut the rope. As soon as I was set free, I jumped out of the bed, my breath still coming in thin rasps.Zane stared for a while, as if his speech had been stolen.Then with a steady voice, he asked “Why didn’t you use the safe word?” But bro
