Flourish Copper

Chapter Eleven: Flourish CopperXander’s sleek black car cruised past the outskirts of the city, the skyline fading behind as he approached neighborhoods where his world rarely ventured. The late morning sun filtered through dusty air. As he rounded a corner, a cluster of people gathered along the street caught his eye. It seemed like a ripple of movement, voices mingled with laughter and gratitude.He slowed, curiosity rooting him to the spot. Through the crowd, a figure stood out unmistakably, Flourish Copper. She moved among the throng with grace, handing out envelopes of cash, packets of raw food, bottles of medication, and bright flyers promising scholarships to children who clustered eagerly around her. Faces lit up like the sun itself had descended.The air buzzed with reverence. To the people here, Flourish was more than a benefactor, she was a goddess.Xander watched. He admired the way she carried herself. Composed, unyielding, yet warm enough to soften hardened hearts.Thei

Reaching for someone

Chapter Twelve: Reaching for someoneCourtney Savage’s office glowed like a command center long after the rest of the building had gone dark. She stood behind her desk, jacket discarded, sleeves rolled up, scanning figures on a tablet. Courtney preferred silence when she worked late.The door opened without a knock.Watz stepped in, already holding a tablet, her expression carefully neutral in the way Courtney required of the people closest to her. If she was interrupting, it mattered.“Sorry to interrupt ma’am,” she said mildly.Courtney didn’t look up. “You wouldn’t be if you didn’t have something urgent. I’m listening.”Watz walked closer. “Xander was seen at St. Elms General.”Her fingers paused mid-scroll.“At a hospital?” Courtney finally lifted her gaze, sharp and assessing. “Why?”“There was an accident. Marvis Diggs and Freya Woods were involved. They were brought in with injuries from a crash. Xander arrived with them.”Courtney’s jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. “Was he d

Lucky in my dreams

Chapter Thirteen: Lucky in my dreams Freya woke up slowly, consciousness returning in fragments before sound or sense followed. A dull ache pulsed through her body, radiating from her ribs and shoulder, heavy and insistent. Her lashes fluttered.For a moment, she didn’t know where she was. The ceiling was white with blinding lights. A curtain drawn halfway. Panic rose in her chest, quick and shallow. “Xander.”The name slipped from her lips before she could stop it, thin and hoarse, like it had been pulled straight out of her chest.Her eyes opened fully.Marvis Diggs sat beside her bed, slouched in the chair, one leg stretched out, the other bouncing lightly. He had a bandage wrapped around his forearm and a faint bruise blooming along his jaw, but otherwise, he looked fine.His head snapped up at the sound of her voice.“Xander?” he repeated slowly, brows knitting together.Freya blinked, disoriented. The memory of warm hands, of being lifted, of a voice cutting through the accid

Who dat boy?

Chapter Fourteen: Who dat boy?Freya slept restlessly. Pain tugged at her ribs every time she shifted, dull and persistent, like a reminder she couldn’t escape even in dreams. The apartment was dark, curtains drawn, the only light coming from the faint glow of the streetlamp outside her window. Her breathing was shallow but steady, lashes fluttering as sleep held her just tightly enough.The lock turned softly. So softly that even the old hinges didn’t complain.Xander Savage stepped inside quietly. He paused just inside the door, listening. The apartment was quiet. No television. No music. Just the low hum of the refrigerator and the faint sound of Freya’s breathing. His shoulders eased a fraction. He closed the door carefully behind him and stood there for a moment, hands in his pockets, taking it in.The place was small. Smaller than he’d imagined. The living room barely fit a couch, a narrow table, and a bookshelf that leaned slightly to the left like it had given up trying to s

The worst way to thank you

Chapter Fifteen: The worst way to thank you Freya’s first steps back onto campus felt heavier than they should have.North Fall University buzzed the way it always did: students laughing, arguing, rushing past with backpacks slung over one shoulder, phones pressed to their ears. Nothing had slowed down just because she had been hit by a car. Life moved on. Her ribs still ached with every breath, and her shoulder protested each time she shifted the strap of her bag. She walked carefully, like she was afraid her body might betray her if she moved too fast. The doctor had cleared her to attend classes again, but pain had a way of ignoring permission.As she approached the central quad, noise swelled.Banners stretched between light poles. Tables lined the walkways, covered in pamphlets and bright poster boards. A large sign read:STUDENTS FOR SAFETY: CHARITY DRIVE & AWARENESS DAYMusic played from portable speakers. A small crowd gathered near the center, phones already out, recording

His armband & broken heart

Chapter Sixteen: His armband & broken heart At the stadium, students packed the stands like ants on a hill, their chatter and cheers blending into a thick, electric hum. Banners waved lazily in the wind, and photographers jostled along the sidelines, trying to capture every angle of the pre-game excitement. The scent of freshly cut grass mingled with popcorn and the faint tang of sweat. Freya stood near the edge of the field, camera slung over her shoulder, clipboard in hand. Her fingers itched to lift the lens, to capture the drama, the energy, the moments that made sports more than just a game. But one look at Xander, and the legal ban settled like concrete in her chest. She could not, under any circumstances, photograph him.Her teeth clenched, frustration tightening her jaw. That restriction felt like a chain today, more than ever. Because Xander was already doing something only he could do, something that would humiliate her in every way possible without him even trying.She s

How to deal with the rich

Chapter Seventeen: How to deal with the rich Freya Woods paced the length of her apartment like a caged animal that was wounded and starved. Her bare feet slapped softly against the tiled floor, back and forth, back and forth, the motion restless and sharp. Her body still ached faintly from the accident, bruises blooming beneath fabric, ribs sore when she breathed too deeply but the pain that had her clenched wasn’t physical.It was fury. It was raw, directionless and loud in her head. She didn’t know when it had started exactly. She’d woken up angry. Angry at the light filtering through the curtains. Angry at the quiet. Angry at how her chest felt tight for no reason she wanted to admit.And then, like her mind had been waiting for it, Xander’s face rose uninvited.Xander Savage's stupid face! She cursed. His smirk. His stupid confidence. The way he stood on that field like the world owed him space. The way he handed that armband to Flourish Copper. The way people called her his ob

Digital princess

Chapter Eighteen: Digital princessFreya leaned back in her chair, the glow of her laptop screen painting her face in shades of midnight blue. The apartment was quiet except for the occasional clatter from her fingers tapping the keyboard.Outside, the city slumbered under a haze of streetlights and muffled car horns, but inside, she was wide awake and completely feeling giddy.She clicked through tabs, smirking at the notifications piling up.“Has anyone else noticed Xander Savage’s weird side?”“Why is everyone calling him a liar and a cheat?”“Is the football prodigy losing it? Why isn’t he on suspension yet?”“Y’all hide your wives from Xander! I heard he banged his coach’s wife too, ewww. Disgusting!”Freya leaned closer, her eyes gleaming, fingers hovering over the keyboard.With a decisive click, she opened a fresh domain builder and typed swiftly, creating a fake cult website. She made Wendy Savage the founder. Freya made sure the aesthetics were perfect: dramatic imagery, flo

Everyone get to work

Chapter Nineteen: Everyone get to workCourtney stood at the head of the table, hands resting lightly against it.Her tech division sat before her. It was made of six individuals who had built careers out of finding people who did not want to be found. Their laptops were open, screens reflecting lines of code, server routes, proxy chains.Courtney tapped a remote and the central screen transitioned to the fake letters, the cult website naming Wendy Savage as founder. The porn magazine delivery scandal. The anonymous child at the gate. The parody social media account. Each incident was displayed with timestamps, geolocation data, and engagement velocity.“They launched in waves,” Courtney said. “My suspect is Lush Magazines. The bitch has been hating on my family.”One of the analysts adjusted his glasses. “They’re using offshore hosting for the cult site. The domain registration is masked. Payments were made through cryptocurrency wallets that have already been dissolved.”Courtney’s

Campus storm

Chapter Twenty: Campus StormWendy walked through the sprawling corridors of North Fall University, her backpack slung loosely over one shoulder, eyes fixed on the tile beneath her feet. Each step felt heavier than the last, as if the chatter of the campus had wrapped itself around her like a tightening coil.Students moved past her, books clutched under arms, phones in hands, faces alight with gossip or amusement. Every glance she caught seemed loaded with the weight of speculation, some barely concealed, others brazen.She slowed near the entrance to her lecture hall, hoping to slip unnoticed among the throng, but the moment she stepped into view, a ripple of whispers traveled across the room.“Did you see the Savage scandal?” one girl murmured, smirking to her friend.“They’re saying she’s part of that… cult thing,” another replied, her voice dropping conspiratorially.Wendy’s stomach sank. She forced a polite nod at a familiar face, Phoebe, who was leaning casually against the wal
