Chapter eleven

ChrisThe phone rang three times. I stared at the screen, but I didn’t pick up. There was nothing left to say. Nothing left between us.At least, that’s what I kept telling myself.But the truth? The moment I heard his voice after more than a week, my chest betrayed me. My heart—stone dead for days—suddenly raced like it had been waiting for him all along.“Chris, your coffee.” Asher’s voice pulled me back. He placed a steaming cup on the table beside me, his hand holding one for himself.“Thanks,” I murmured, forcing myself to smile.Asher had been helping me prep for the entrance tests. We were the same age, born the same month—just a few days apart. My aunt always bragged about his grades, how sharp he was. And it was true. He was brilliant. Steady. Safe.“I’m done.” I slid the answer sheet toward him.His eyes scanned it quickly. “You shouldn’t be nervous. You did great.”Relief trickled through me. I’d been dreading the college’s mid-term entrance exams.“Your math is solid. Wer

“Alright, if there’s any problem, you can call me.” Asher’s voice was warm. He gave me that boyish smile before disappearing into his room.I thought I wanted to be alone. I thought I needed silence.But the second the silence wrapped around me, my chest cracked open. Tears slipped down before I even realized it.Maybe this was the first time in years I had been this far from Hunter.I remembered a school trip once. Just two days away from him and I couldn’t sleep a wink.The second I came back, I had thrown myself into his arms, kissing him like I’d been starved. He had laughed, whispered he missed me too, and held me tighter.And now? After just a week apart, when we finally stood face-to-face… I wasn’t running into his arms. I was running away.“Why did you do this to me, Hunter?” My whisper cracked into the dark. “Why did you turn my heart into a plaything?”The next morning, I told Aunt I wanted to extend my stay. Her smile was so wide, so eager, it almost made me suspicious. T

Chapter thirteen

I barely made it to the bathroom before the nausea hit me again.My stomach heaved. Violent. Relentless. I clutched the sink like it was the only thing keeping me upright.Cold water. That’s all I needed. I rinsed my mouth. Splashed my face. Whispered to myself to get it together.But the moment I stepped out. My body collided with a wall. No—not a wall. A man.Fingers clamped around my wrist. Hard. Merciless. My back slammed into the cold plaster.“What did you just say?” His voice was low. Lethal. His stormy eyes locked onto me like they could swallow me whole. “That you don’t even know me? That boy your mother picked impressed you more than I do?”Hunter.He hadn’t left. He had been waiting. For me.“This is my college.” I snapped, my voice sharper than I felt. “Stop this, Hunter. Let me go.”But he was stronger. Faster. In a blink, my wrists were trapped above my head. Pinned by one of his hands. His body caged mine. His chest pressed into me until every breath I took was his.Heat

Chapter fourteen

I handed Hunter his bill without meeting his eyes.“We’ll call you when it’s ready.” I muttered.I didn’t look at him, but I could feel his sharp gaze burning into me. He didn’t argue. He simply walked to a corner booth and sat down. Every few seconds, I felt the weight of his eyes—before he glanced at his phone and then back at me again.My pulse spiked. I rushed to the machine. One black coffee. If I gave it fast enough, maybe he’d leave. But my hands shook. The filter slipped from my grip, crashed against the floor, and shattered.The entire café went silent.“You clumsy girl!” The café owner barked, storming over. “Do you know how expensive that was? One more mistake and you’re out!”“I—I’m sorry, sir. I’ll pay for it—”“Pay?” He grabbed my wrist roughly. “You couldn’t pay this off even if you worked here for a year.”My heart stuttered in panic. Before I could pull away, another hand clamped down hard on the owner’s wrist.“Let go of her hand.” Hunter’s voice dropped like a bla

Chapter fifteen

I stood there, watching her.Chris went straight back to the counter as if nothing had happened.“Sorry, sir. It won’t happen again,” she said calmly and bowed to the café owner.Then she picked up an order slip, started serving customers again.And not once… not once did she look at me.My jaw locked. My hands fisted.Where was Chris who used to hang on my every word?The girl who couldn’t fall asleep unless I said goodnight.The girl who begged me not to leave her bed in the morning.This girl—This same girl who once looked at me like I was her world, her air, her God—Now acted like I was invisible.Where the hell did this boldness come from?The girl who couldn’t survive without me… now pretends she doesn’t even know me.Fuck.I stayed there and burned holes into her back until I couldn’t take it anymore. I pulled out my phone and booked the next flight. If she wanted me gone, fine. If she didn’t want me, let her rot without me. She’d miss me. She’d realize. She’d come crawlin

Chapter sixteen

It had been a week since Hunter left.A week since his shadow stopped chasing me.A week since I tried to convince myself I could finally breathe again.That’s what I felt after his disappearance from the cafe.I loaded my bags into the back of the taxi and forced my hands not to tremble.“Chris, I wish you could stay a few more days.” Auntie whispered. She pulled me into her arms like she wanted to stop me from leaving. “It felt so good having you here. You became just like a family.” I swallowed the lump in my throat. “I already extended my stay ten days longer than planned. You were too kind to me. But I’ll visit on weekends. I promise.”When Auntie was around, the ache of missing Mom dulled. She had no idea how much I clung to that.“This is your home,” she kissed my hand. “Come back anytime. Anyway… Asher’s always here. He’ll look after you.”She winked, and my cheeks warmed despite the heaviness in my chest.I smiled and nodded. “Take care, Auntie.”The cab rattled to life and

Chapter seventeen

ChristinaTwo Months Ago“Hunter, please take care of Chris. She’s very reckless,” Mom said, her voice warm but firm.She was dragging her trolley toward the door. Uncle Carter was loading bags into the trunk, already whistling for her to hurry up.“Don’t worry, Auntie.” Hunter’s hand landed heavy on my shoulder. Possessive. Like I was already his. “You two enjoy Spain. Don’t ruin your trip worrying about us.” I said as I gave a tight hug to my mom.But inside, my pulse was racing. I was too eager for them to leave. Because when it was just Hunter and me, everything would change.We don’t have to sneak around anymore. No hushed whispers. No stolen kisses in dark hallways. No pretending to hate each other at the dinner table.For four whole days, we wouldn’t have to hide. We’d sleep tangled in his sheets without fear. We’d shower together. And fuck and kiss anywhere without worrying about getting caught.Mom kissed my forehead. “And you—don’t trouble your big brother too much. Liste

Chapter Eighteen

ChristinaIt had only been a week since Hunter vanished from my life, and yet his ghost still clung to me like a second skin.“Chris…” Shasha’s voice broke through the fog. The door smacked open. I quickly wiped my mouth and rushed out.She and Lena were standing with grocery bags in their arms. They stared at me wide-eyed.“Are you okay?” Lena frowned. Her eyes darted from the half-eaten noodles to my trembling hands.I forced a bitter smile. Even though my stomach was in knots. “Yeah. Just… didn’t sit well.”Their worried stares made my skin prickle. I hated being looked at like that. Fragile and breakable. I tossed the noodles into the trash.“Here,” Shasha dug into the bag and pulled out a packet of sour candies. “I swear by these when I feel sick. Try them.”Normally, I hated sour things. But the moment I ripped one open and let the tang hit my tongue, my chest heaved with relief.It was wrong. This craving. This sickness. This… feeling. Panic clawed at my throat. I couldn’t b

Chapter Nineteen

As Dr. Sophie brought the injection closer to my arm. My body jolted. Panic crashed over me. The needle glinted under the white lights and I screamed.“Stop!”The doctor froze mid-motion. She pulled the needle away.“I—I don’t want to get an abortion.” My voice trembled. But my decision wasn't. I pushed myself up from the bed and clutched the hospital file to my chest like a shield.“What?” she blinked in disbelief.“I want to keep the baby,” I whispered. My words spilled faster than my tears.Her brows furrowed. “Are you sure? Christina, this decision—”“I’m sure.” My voice was firmer now. “It’s my baby. Mine.”When I stepped out of the hospital, my hands were trembling around a paper bag of vitamin supplements and folic acid. My brain screamed at me about society. The shame society was going to throw at me. But my heart whispered louder. I’ll protect him. I’ll protect us.Back at my dorm, I found Shasha and Lena were having their nap. I changed quickly and sat on the bed, starin

Chapter Twenty

Hunter Twelve Hours AgoVodka tasted like apology and punishment all at once. It was the only thing keeping me alive these days. I poured it down my throat until the burn finally blurred everything into a numb gray. A week since I came back from Auckland and nothing was the same. Not the house, not my appetite, not the way my chest ached like I’d been hollowed out.There wasn’t a single second I didn’t miss her.Chris.I tried all the stupid remedies. Sleeping in her sheets. Re-reading the stupid notes she left on the nightstand. Swallowing the smell of her sweater until my head buzzed with it.But nothing gave me the peace her body gave me. I couldn’t sleep unless my legs were tangled with hers.So I drank. Every night, I drank until my body went numb and my mind blurred. And still, when I woke up in the middle of the night, my hand would reach for her side of the bed. Empty. Always empty.The silence mocked me.She was gone. And she would never come back. Reality screamed even t
