Semua Bab Hired My Ex's Sister as Wife: Bab 221 - Bab 225

SavannahWhen I saw Noah across campus earlier today, I completely froze in shock. I wasn’t ready to see him. Not yet. And honestly, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to. So why was my mind still spinning on this?Classes had ended hours ago, and I thought the distraction would help me get my mind off seeing him there, but it didn’t. Maybe it was the shock of seeing him there. I hadn’t even known he was out. One second, I was gathering my notes, trying to keep my head down, and then there he was, standing under the sun like nothing had happened. Our eyes met for a brief moment, so I knew for sure he saw me, but he didn’t make a move either. He hadn’t tried to talk to me. Maybe it was for the best.So I turned away, and I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. I’d turned my face, walked faster, and told myself I was fine. But the truth was, I wasn’t fine. Seeing him had cracked something open in me, something I’d worked hard to keep shut.By the time I pushed open the door to my dorm room, I was exhausted

Savannah The drive back to campus felt different this time. My father’s words lingered in my head like an echo I couldn’t shake. ‘If you’re going to do this, then at least do it the right way.’To be honest, I didn’t know what the right way was, but I knew one thing for sure: I couldn’t keep circling around the edges of Tyrant’s world, waiting for him to strike again. He was already inside our lives, inside our family, and if I wanted to end this, I had to step into his territory before he swallowed us whole.By the time I reached my dorm, a plan was already forming in my head. Admittedly, it may have been reckless, dangerous, maybe even suicidal, you name it, but it was a plan.The first person I called was Jack. He didn’t waste any time and showed up fast, leaning against the brick wall outside the library, his usual smirk replaced with something heavier. “You sounded urgent.”“It is,” I said. “I called because what I’m planning is going to need both you and Noah. This isn’t someth

SavannahAfter that call, I could feel my body freeze up. Two days? Two days? I started to feel my skin crawl and my anger rising. Noah’s silence had been eating at me the entire time we spoke, like he was holding back more than he was letting on. And when he said nothing else, I took that as my cue to walk. I couldn’t afford another word wasted, not with the walls closing in around me.But before I’d made it two steps, his hand shot out and clamped around my wrist. “You’re not leaving Savannah,” he said, his voice sharp and his breath hot.I felt a change in the air when he said those words, like a hint of danger in his voice, almost as if he wasn’t the same Noah I was used to. “What are you doing?” I asked, yanking lightly, but he wouldn’t let go.“I can’t just let you leave like this,” Noah muttered. His eyes darted past me, scanning the shadows of the station like he was searching for something, or someone. Then I realized what he was doing.And in that moment, I suddenly didn’t
