~Logan’s POV ~The bass in the club thumped so loud I could feel it in my chest.Flashing lights, grinding bodies, and the sharp smell of spilled drinks . Tristan was halfway through his second beer, and Miles was already flirting with a girl in red. Me? I was nursing the same drink I’d been holding for the last hour, mind elsewhere.Ava’s face wouldn’t leave my head.The way she laughed when she teased me. The way her eyes sparkled when she got fired up about law stuff. The way her voice dropped when she was tired, soft and raw and real.And the way Nate looked at her like he already knew he was falling.God, it made my blood boil.“You’re doing that brooding thing again,” Tristan said, sliding into the booth beside me.“Shut up.”“Seriously,” he said, nudging my arm. “You look like someone just kicked your puppy.”I didn’t answer. Miles dropped into the seat across from us, flanked by two girls who disappeared when he saw my face.“What’s with you, man?” Miles asked. “You win the ga

Logan’s POVShe heard me.Those three words hit harder than any punch I’d taken on the field. Harder than any lecture, harder than any breakup. Because it wasn’t just anyone who heard me say it.It was Ava. The girl who considered me her whole world.She stood there, her eyes wide ,Chest heaving,Her lips parting like she was trying to speak but nothing came out. The look in her eyes wasn’t just hurt. It was betrayal. Shattered hope. Like I’d taken everything she believed in and set it on fire.And I did.God, I did.The second she turned and ran, my brain short-circuited.“AVA!”But she didn’t stop.Her shoes clicked against the floor, echoing down the hallway, fading with every desperate beat of my heart.I lunged forward without thinking, shoving Aaron aside.“What the hell did you say that for?” I growled.Aaron raised his hands up mocking surrendering. “What did I say?? The question is what did you do to her Logan!”It was true . it wasn’t just Aaron.It was me.The words came fr

~ Logan’s POV ~I couldn’t breathe.Every second that passed without seeing her face, without hearing her voice or feeling her hand in mine, felt like I was sinking deeper into some black hole I couldn't claw my way out of forever.She was gone. She disappeared, even though it was just for a day but I miss her so much,I wish I could be with her right now.No calls. No texts. Nothing.I walked through the campus like some kind of madman. Every hallway, every bench, every place I knew she might retreat to. The library. The law building. Even on the rooftop but she wasn't there. It's like she disappeared in thin air Charlotte had been the one to tell me she heard Ava running after overhearing something… and my whole world stopped. The conversation with Aaron. My stupid, impulsive laugh. My mocking words.Words that weren’t real, I didn't even intend to mock her but I did that to stop Aaron From snooping into our business but I didn't know she was there. She heard all of it. All I wanted

Ava’s POV ~The chains rattled as I shifted. My wrists were raw now angry red lines wrapping around them. My cheek throbbed, and the side of my lip stung with dried blood. Still, I sat straighter than before, even if I was trembling inside.Sebastian was gone.After laughing at my words like a maniac, he had disappeared through the heavy double doors like this was just another business meeting. Like threatening to kill me was something he was used to in his business.But he left the guards. Two of them. Built like statues and just as silent. They stood by the door, expressionless, weapons tucked at their waists, pretending I didn’t exist.I wasn’t going to give them a show.Instead, I breathed In and Out.Just like Logan taught me during one of our rare, quiet nights. “You breathe when the world won’t let you speak,”.Back then, I thought he meant anxiety.Now I realized he meant war.The sound of a key turning in the lock jolted me upright. I scrambled to wipe my face, not wanting any
