Semua Bab The Night Fate Chose You: Bab 31 - Bab 40

**Chapter 31:** Alex Lies**Alex's POV**When he got back into the car, Alex's expression shifted from cheerful to serious. “I hope you forgive me,” he muttered as he started the engine and drove away from Ivy’s house. Checking his phone for missed calls or messages, he found none. A smirk formed on his face as he shook his head. Of course, there wouldn't be any messages. “You never disappoint me, my friend,” he thought aloud as he turned the car around and drove toward his best friend’s place. He suspected that Liam would be waiting for him and, if he was correct, Liam would be drunk by now.He parked his car in the garage and headed upstairs, mentally preparing himself for the worst possible outcome. Upon reaching the door, he pressed the doorbell repeatedly until Liam finally opened it. Alex assessed his best friend's appearance and grimaced. Liam's hair was disheveled, the first button of his shirt was missing, and he reeked of whiskey and—was that the smell of cigarettes? This w

Chapter 33:The Cover UpIvy povJust as Ivy was about to call Charlotte again to ask her where she was, she heard a bang on her door. “Charlotte, is that you?” she asked as she slowly approached the door, but there was no response, just another loud bang making her jump. “Char?” she asked again, slowly moving away from the door as the bangs became more violent. Who could it be? Rowan? No that was not possible, he wouldn't bang on the door like that when he was the one who locked it.Could it be Evelyn? That wasn't possible either, Evelyn would rather die than set foot in this part of the house. Ivy wasn't sure if it was Charlotte either, because the person wasn't answering. Then that leaves her to the last conclusion, a burglar. She retreated from the door completely and her eyes frantically searched her room for what she could use as a weapon but there was nothing usable. She searched through her drawers looking for something, anything to defend herself with but found nothing, jus

Chapter 35: You look ugly when you cryIvySuddenly she heard a clicking sound, and the door opened revealing a sleepy Charlotte standing and rubbing her eyes“Hey, why were you screaming my—” Charlotte started but Ivy didn't allow her to finish as she rushed inside and shut the door with a bang startling Charlotte awake. Ivy panted heavily as her back rested against the door like someone who had just run a meter race. “What's going on? Why are you acting weird?” Charlotte whispered urgently. Ivy signaled for her to be quiet with a gesture as she heard some shuffling noises coming from outside the door. The noises lasted only a moment, as if the person was searching for something, and then they suddenly stopped. Ivy slowly peeked through the peephole, her heart racing. There was no one there; he was gone. She dropped to the ground with a thud and let out a heavy sigh.“Okay, are you going to tell me what’s going on and why you’re acting batshit crazy?” Charlotte asked, her arms folde

Chapter 37: The Amusement ParkIvyWhen Charlotte pushed the door open, Ivy's grip in Charlotte’s hand tightened as they both walked into the building. The lights inside were flickering slightly and the place reeked of freshly brewed coffee, disinfectants, and paperwork. Ivy looked around and noticed how busy the place was. A man with wild tattoos was seated with his head hanging low at the far end of the room with his hands cuffed, three officers were standing by a corner with coffee in their hands discussing quietly, phones were ringing, and people were waiting. Ivy felt her hands in Charlotte's grip grow sweaty as they approached an officer who didn't seem to be attending to anyone. His eyes were glued to his screen as he typed away on his computer. He didn't seem to notice them until Charlotte spoke.“Hi, we are here to file a report” Charlotte announced “Type of incident?” the man asked without looking away from his computer for a second. Charlotte nudged Ivy gently and gesture

Chapter 39: Do you still have feelings for him?IvyWhen he walked in fully, her face fell in disappointment, and she forced herself to stand up.“Good morning sir” she greeted“Was Alex here?” he asked as he looked around, ignoring her greeting“Yes, a while ago. He informed me that you called while I was in the restroom. I'm sorry I haven't res—” she explained, but Liam cut her off.“Are you okay?” He looked at her scrutinizingly and she shifted on her feet. Had he noticed something was wrong with her? Even if he did there was no way she would allow herself to come off as pathetic to him or show him any sign of weakness.“Yes sir” she answered, her voice coming out sharper than intended as she let go of her desk, which she had been holding onto for support. She matched his gaze hoping he wouldn't see through her lie. For a moment he was quiet, and he watched her. His eyes hardened as they burned into her face as if searching and trying to understand the uneasiness behind her facade.
