All Chapters of HIS ROOMMATE WAS A LIE : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chapter 21 – SeraOne thing I hate about waking up in the morning is the sunlight. the sunlight was cruel, it shined through our room window illuminating my messy hair and the scattered blanket on the floor. I groaned, burying my face in my pillow trying to get back to sleep because I didn’t want to get up today. Not after everything that happened yesterday. Nope!Juliette Beaumont, the kiss, everything was unbearable to me and I didn't have any idea why was I feeling like this.Everything that happened yesterday especially the kiss replayed itself over and over in my brain, this was humiliation and jealousy I could not escape.I raised myself upright, groaning as my legs threatened to go numb. My heart was already pounding, and I hadn’t even left the room, what would happen if I step out of this room and meet the SC? I wonder.“Come on, Seth,” I muttered under my breath. “You’re not going to die from sunlight Probably from embarrassment".The door opened before I could even grab m

Chapter 23 – SeraSleep wasn’t an option at night because the cramps were wrecking my insides like some monster. On top of that, my mind was filled with the accusations kael was throwing at me earlier. “You’ve been lying to me.”The words still rang in my head long after the dorm had gone quiet.I curled myself tighter under my blanket, clutching my stomach as another cramp shot through me. A muffled whimper escaped before I could stop it, my throat burned with the effort of swallowing the sound back down.I was Seth and boys didn’t whimper about period pain, boys didn’t have period pain at all.If anyone found out, if Kael found out it would all be over. How will I explain to kael why was I crying while clutching my stomach? And going to the infirmary is like a suicide mission me because the nurse will know in an instant that I was a girl.I bit down hard on my sleeve and squeezed my eyes shut, willing sleep to come but it didn’t Instead, my ears picked up the quietest sound like s

Sera povI whipped around so fast that my heart nearly stopped.Alexander.He stood just a few feet away, his posture was casual, but his eyes were sharp, unblinking.My stomach dropped thinking of possibilities of how much had he heard?“A–Alexander.” My voice cracked. “I was just...”He tilted his head slightly, studying me with unwavering calm. “Talking to your mother.”My mouth went dry. “Yeah. So?”“You said you were at St. Helia.” His voice was quiet. Not accusing or mocking. He was just… stating the fact.My pulse thundered in my ears.Think...Think... Think!“I… misspoke.” The lie burned my throat. "It was slip of the tongue.”For a long, endless moment, Alexander just looked at me and then, slowly, he nodded. “Hm.”That was it. Just one sound. Then he turned, walking back toward the courtyard, leaving me frozen on the bench, my heart was pounding so hard it hurt.I exhaled shakily, relief flooding me. He hadn’t called me out. He hadn’t said a word to the others.He hadn’t

Sera povIt was a new day but my mind kept replaying yesterday’s events especially the kiss, Kael’s possessive glare, Luca’s smug grin and somehow, amidst it all, Alexander’s silent observation.I hadn’t seen him much today, but I knew he was around. Always watching. And then I felt eyes on me. Alexander.He was leaning against the edge of the fountain with his arms crossed, that unreadable expression I had come to fear. He didn’t smile. He just… looked. And it was impossible not to feel pinned under that gaze.I swallowed and tried to focus on something .... anything else, but my stomach twisted.Finally, he spoke with a quiet but commanding voice. “Follow me.”I blinked. “Excuse me?”He didn’t answer just turned, walking toward the back gardens of Virelade, the path shaded by tall oaks. I had no choice but to follow.We stopped under a quiet building, away from the chattering students and away from the chaos. Alexander leaned against the stone wall, still arms crossed, his e

Sera povThe silence between us stretched, Kael’s face was only inches from mine. His hand was still pressed to the wall beside my head, his eyes were dark, stormy, searching me like he could force an answer out of my soul.And then he leaned in.My heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt. I froze, every nerve in my body screaming, every secret I’d buried threatening to break free. If he kissed me if he touched me like that then I wouldn’t be able to keep pretending. He will know it.“No.”The word came out sharper than I intended, but it was all I had. My hands pressed against his chest, not shoving, but enough to stop him from closing that last impossible distance.Kael stilled.For a single, unbearable second, his expression was unreadable. Blank. Then his jaw clenched, his body going rigid under my palms.“You’re refusing me?” His voice was low, dangerous.I swallowed hard. “Kael, this isn’t...”He cut me off, stepping back with a sharp, almost disbelieving laugh that held n
