Chapter Fifty-One

Carolyn's POVThe seat felt too stiff beneath me.I shifted, crossed my legs, and uncrossed them. The desk in front of me bore etchings from years of bored students—hearts, initials, curse words, and math scribbles. I couldn’t focus on any of them. All I could think about was him.J.J. His name echoed through my head like a bell I couldn’t unring.I hated myself for it. For the way my stomach flipped when I saw him earlier. For the butterflies that fluttered against my ribs like they still believed in fairytales. He looked... sharp, cold, magnetic. The kind of person your brain told you to stay away from, but your heart leaned toward anyway.I was disgusted—with him, with myself. He had just destroyed George’s family. He had made me a pawn in his sick little chess game, and still, something about the way he looked at me, the tension in his jaw, the way his voice dropped when he said, “You think I’m evil. Yet you’re still talking to me.”God, why did that line haunt me?I shook my hea

Chapter Fifty-Two

Carolyn's POVFinally, freedom. The last exam paper had been turned in, the bell had rung, and I had practically floated out of school on the wings of pure, exhausted relief. First term exams were over. My bandaged ankle had fully healed. My brain was no longer full of ledgers and calculations, and most importantly—I was free of J.J., even if just for a while. At least, that’s what I thought. I sprawled across my bed like a starfish, still in my comfy T-shirt and shorts, clutching my pillow like it was some kind of victory trophy. The soft hum of the ceiling fan whispered above me, promising peace and a week of actual breathing. No mind games. No drama. Just blissful solitude. Then came the knock. A soft double-tap on my door. “Carolyn?” my aunty’s voice floated in before she opened the door with a smile that I didn’t like one bit. I sat up, instantly suspicious. “Yes?” She came in, holding a brown envelope. “I’ve got great news!” That smile again. The one she wore when she wa

Chapter Fifty-Three

J.J.'s POV“Yes,” she said. “We are.”Her words slapped harder than any actual blow. My heart stuttered, but I kept my face straight, watching her turn away like she couldn’t get far enough from me fast enough. She was always running from me, always wanting to leave me.No. No, I wasn’t going to let that be the last thing between us.“Carolyn,” I called after her.She didn’t stop.Something burned in me—frustration, desperation, something hot and uncontrollable. I closed the space between us in a few fast strides, my fingers wrapping around her wrist before I even realized what I was doing.She gasped, trying to pull away, but I held her—not rough, not gentle, just enough to stop her.“I said we’re not done,” I breathed, chest tight, anger tangled in every syllable.She turned sharply, eyes blazing. “Let go of me.”But I didn’t.I couldn’t.Not when everything inside me was boiling over.“You want to act like you hate me? Fine,” I whispered, my voice low and bitter. “But don’t pretend

Chapter Fifty-Four

Carolyn’s POVI walked away from the stream with shaking hands and a storm behind my ribs.His lips had been soft. Too soft. His grip was firm but not painful. The warmth of his breath still lingered against my mouth, haunting me like a shadow I couldn’t outrun. I hated him. I hated him. But…God help me—I liked that kiss.The memory replayed over and over in my head, like an unwanted song stuck on loop. The way he dragged me back. The fire in his eyes. The fury in mine. The tension that melted into surrender, for a moment.I had let myself go. I had melted. For J.J.What was wrong with me?My fingers curled into fists as I stomped up the hill trail toward the cabins, heart thudding like a warning drum. My mind screamed logic, screamed self-respect, but something deeper inside whispered betrayal. Not of others—of myself.I should have slapped him harder.I should have never let him close enough to feel how much I still wanted him.By the time I reached Cabin 5, my legs felt like jelly

Chapter Fifty-Five

J.J.’s POVThe room was silent. Too silent.The kind of silence that crept into your bones and refused to leave.My VIP suite at Camp was quiet, dim, and smelled faintly of cedarwood and leather. The faint hum of the ceiling fan circled above me as I stared at the wall, jaw clenched, foot tapping restlessly against the wooden floor. I couldn’t sit still, not since this morning—not since the kiss.Carolyn.Her name echoed in my mind like a secret I didn’t know how to protect.I couldn’t stop thinking about the way her eyes widened in fury right before I kissed her—and how they fluttered shut once I did. The way she pushed me… then didn’t. The feel of her hands against my chest. The sound of her breath, quick and shaky, like she hated that she wanted me too.I didn’t expect it to get under my skin. But it did. She did.And now all I could think about was her.A sharp knock shattered the quiet.“Come in,” I called, sitting up straighter.The door opened, and Julius walked in. His walk wa

Chapter Fifty-Six

Carolyn's POVUnder the Starlit StreamThe night wrapped around me like a blanket—soft, quiet, and cool.I walked slowly down the dirt path, guided only by the moonlight and the rhythmic sound of water nearby. The stream was just ahead, hidden behind tall grass and a wall of trees. It was always the most peaceful place in the camp. A secret pocket of the world where no one could yell names at you, or laugh in your face, or tie your hands behind your back and call you a slut like Emma and her little army had done today.The word still stung.Like poison beneath my skin.“Slut.”My cousin said it like it was a fact.Like I deserved it for existing.I knelt by the edge of the stream and let out a shaky breath. The water shimmered under the stars, glowing silver and soft blue as it danced over smooth stones. I slipped off my sandals and let my legs dangle over the edge, toes skimming the cold water. The chill startled me at first, but then it felt… grounding. Real. Like I wasn’t just floa

Chapter Fifty-Seven

J.J.’s POVI couldn’t stop smiling.I tried to. Honestly, I did. I bit the inside of my cheek. Stared up at the sky. Even shoved my hands into my pockets to keep from fidgeting like a lovesick idiot. But it didn’t matter. The grin wouldn’t go away.Carolyn—Carolyn—had just said we could start again as friends.It wasn’t a full-blown confession. It wasn’t some dramatic kiss under the stars like in those sappy movies my mom used to make me watch when she bothered being home. But it felt real. Grounded. Like the start of something better than all that.Friendship. That was the foundation, right? And from where I was standing, with her hair shining silver under the moonlight and her voice still echoing in my ears, that was more than enough.“Okay, but”—Carolyn's voice broke through my thoughts as she stood and brushed off her hands—“you’ve got to work on yourself if we’re going to be friends.”I blinked. “What?”She turned to me, arms crossed, one brow raised in that way that always made

Chapter Fifty-Eight

Carolyn’s POV I couldn't stop smiling.It felt… strange, this happiness that bubbled up whenever I thought about the camp. And it wasn’t just because of the activities or the people or the food (though I did enjoy the endless supply of abacha). It was J.J.In the beginning, I had never imagined that I'd enjoy spending time with him. After everything I have experienced with him—his reputation, his sharp words, his coldness—I have experienced him being unbearable, someone to avoid at all costs. But now, after the days we spent talking, laughing, and even just sitting in silence, I realized that he would be a delight to be around if he wanted to be, It made me understand Emma more and why she was so crazy about J.J. J.J. had layers. Beneath that tough exterior, there was a side of him that most people didn’t get to see. The more I saw, the more I liked what I saw. He was funny. Kind. Even when he tried to act aloof, I could see the care in his eyes, the way he always made sure I was ok

Chapter Fifty-Nine

J.J.’s POVI had never walked into my father’s house and felt nervous.I’d walked into this ballroom a hundred times—marble floors polished to glass, golden chandeliers dripping from the high ceilings, and walls lined with old paintings of stiff men in suits and women in pearls. But tonight, it felt different.Because tonight, I was walking in with Carolyn.She walked beside me, her arm gently brushing mine. Her black dress was simple but graceful, the fabric clinging just enough to show her figure while still leaving plenty to the imagination. Her hair was swept up, revealing the elegant line of her neck, and her eyes were wide as they took in the towering room filled with socialites, politicians, and high-powered guests.She was nervous. I could tell by the way her fingers kept fidgeting with her clutch. But she held her head high, like she was determined not to show it.I glanced down at her and whispered, “You okay?”She gave a small nod. “Terrified. But I’m pretending not to be.”

Chapter Sixty

Carloyn's POVI stood at the edge of the garden terrace, away from the glittering lights and champagne laughter. My eyes kept drifting back to the massive French doors, where J.J. had disappeared with his father nearly ten minutes ago.What are they talking about?I shifted on my heels, heart tapping out a steady rhythm of unease. J.J.'s father hadn’t even looked in my direction. Not once. And I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t just a father-son check-in.Was he asking about me?Judging me?Was I some charity case dragged into a party meant for pedigrees and legacy?A sharp heel clipped behind me. I turned just as Emma brushed past me, too close, deliberately grazing my shoulder with a smirk."Oops. Didn’t see you there," she said, her lips curled like she’d tasted something sour. "Thought this part of the terrace was for actual guests."I straightened. "I am a guest."Emma turned to face me fully, eyes glinting with venom masked as charm. "You being here is... bold. I'll g
