The room went completely silent after I told Dam how I felt about Mark. I didn’t add anything else, there was nothing more to explain, and I wanted to give him the space to process it. He just lay there on the couch, completely still, eyes wide open, like he couldn’t decide whether to breathe or shut down entirely.

The sight alone made a small, awkward laugh slip out of me. It wasn’t funny, not even close, but it was the kind of nervous laugh that escaped when things got too tense and too real all at once. He didn’t react. He just kept staring at the ceiling, unmoving.

“One moment, I need to use the bathroom,” he finally said, his voice way too calm for how fast he jumped up. Before I could say anything, he practically sprinted down the hallway and into his room, the door clicking shut behind him.

At first, I waited. I sat there on the couch, clutching a cushion and replaying the moment in my head, wondering if I should have phrased things differently, or if saying it at all had been

  • Unleashed Desires   Chapter 24

    Mark stayed close for the next thirty minutes, always beside me, always checking in. If someone brushed past me too much or tried to approach, he’d shift a little closer like some kind of quiet shield. And I liked that, it made me feel seen.But then… he started drifting. Not in a dramatic way, but slowly.One moment, he was behind me, dancing and holding his drink. The next, he was waving at someone across the room. Then he disappeared into the crowd.I wasn’t pressed about it, honestly. We weren’t dating, and I didn’t expect anyone to babysit me. But it was interesting watching the shift. Every time he came back, he’d be a little hyped, a little sweaty, and every time he vanished, I’d spot him dancing with some girl or chatting close to someone.It was weird, but not weird enough to ruin my night. Just… noticeable.Still, I stayed in my happy bubble. I had waited so long to breathe again after exams. Nothing was going to ruin my vibe. Not even Mark being half-present, half-MIA.

    Dam started avoiding me again, and honestly, it was hilarious this time around. I didn’t know what switch flipped in his head, but ever since our conversation about Mark, he’d been acting like he suddenly developed allergies to my presence. The moment he heard my footsteps in the hallway, he’d find something, anything, to grab as an excuse to leave.The first morning it happened, I’d walked into the kitchen to make tea before work. He was leaning against the counter, scrolling through his phone, shirtless as usual. When he raised his head and noticed me coming in, his eyes widened slightly, like a kid caught stealing candy.“Morning,” he’d said, clearing his throat.“Morning,” I returned, grabbing a mug.“Oh, uh, shoot, I forgot I left my charger… somewhere,” he mumbled, already halfway to the living room.“Your charger is literally right there,” I pointed to the table.“Oh. Yeah. That one. I meant my… uh… other charger.”And then he disappeared.I had stood there blinking for a solid

    “Ashy,” he shouted my name like he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.“What? I’m not lying,” I said, trying hard not to laugh.We stood there staring at each other, him wide-eyed and baffled, me fighting a grin. The silence stretched for a beat, then another… and suddenly we both cracked, laughter spilling out of us at the same time.“You’re impossible,” he said, which only made me laugh harder. Honestly, it felt good.“I know,” I admitted, wiping a tear from my eye, “but I'm not lying when I say I don’t see any reason to apologize.”“Whatever, Ashy. I’m just glad you’re forgiving me and we’re going back to normal.”“I’m still considering forgiving you,” I corrected.“That’s still good by me.”“There’s one more person you have to apologize to, you know that, right?” I asked.“We talked already. We’re good.”“Oh, really? He never told me,” I said, a small sting of betrayal poking at me.“Sorry about that. He’s just that way,” Dam explained.“Noted.”“So…” he started, but I shut him

    The first day of exams arrived faster than I expected. My heart was racing before I even got out of bed, and I could barely force down breakfast. The bread tasted dry, almost stale, but the real problem was the anxiety sitting tight in my stomach, rolling with every breath. Exams didn’t usually get to me like this, but it was my first time taking exams at Wyvern, and I had no idea what their style would be or how difficult the questions might get.By the time I reached the exam hall, the room felt like controlled chaos. Rows of desks had been spaced out in perfect lines, each one facing the front where two invigilators stood, stiff and watchful, attendance sheets held like weapons. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, a faint sound I’d never paid attention to during classes, but today it only sharpened the tension hanging in the air. The room looked the same as it always did, yet nothing about it felt familiar. Everything carried a weight it didn’t have before.Students shuffled in

  • Unleashed Desires   Chapter 19

    We hadn’t spoken for three days. And while a small part of me felt guilty about it, I tried not to care. Damian needed to understand that he couldn’t talk to me like that and get away with it. I appreciated our friendship, what we shared, what we were, but I wasn’t his girlfriend, and I wasn’t going to let him treat me like one or disrespect me as if I owed him something.That night after our fight, once my anger had cooled, I replayed everything in my head. Maybe he didn’t have to raise his voice the way he did, but… did I really have to tell him where I was going? Did I owe him that? The thought haunted me through most of the night, along with the memory of how I’d snapped at him. My words had come out like sharp blades, and afterward, I couldn’t shake the question: What was wrong with me?Still, I pushed it all aside. I didn’t have the mental space for emotional drama, not with exams closing in. I buried myself in schoolwork, determined to keep my scholarship intact. My nights were
