CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE

ASHER“I’m bored.”I didn’t even look up from my phone. “How tragic.”Sebastian groaned loudly, throwing himself back dramatically against the couch like he was auditioning for the role of the world’s most annoying. “No, seriously. I’m dying. If I stay in this house any longer, I might actually perish.”“Then perish quietly,” I muttered.A pillow hit me in the face.I lowered my phone slowly, fixing him with a flat look. “Do you have a death wish?”“Yes,” he said without hesitation. “But not before I drag you out tonight.”I narrowed my eyes. “No.”“Yes.”“No.”“Yes.”“I’m not going to a club with you,” I said. “I have nothing to do there. Not interested in dancing. Not interested in drinking. Not interested in picking up guys.”I ticked up my fingers as I spoke.Sebastian rolled his eyes. “Because you have Elliot now.”“Exactly. You get it. See? You’re not so dumb after all,” I said, already turning my attention back to my phone.He leaned forward, snatching it out of my hand.“Sebas

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO

ASHERBefore I could respond, two guys approached us.They looked confident, attractive. The kind of people who knew exactly what they were doing.Sebastian’s attention shifted instantly.“Well, well,” he murmured, a grin spreading across his face.One of them leaned in toward him, saying something I couldn’t hear over the music.Sebastian laughed, clearly interested.I rolled my eyes. Of course he was interested.The other guy turned to me.Sebastian clapped me on the shoulder. “I’ll be back.”And just like that, he was gone. Leaving me with him.He slid into the seat beside me like he belonged there.“Hey,” he said smoothly.I nodded once. “Hey.”“You look bored.”I raised an eyebrow. Really? That was what he was going with?How had I once found this routine fun?“That’s because I am,” I replied.He smiled, like he found that amusing. “I’m sure I can fix that.”“I’m good,” I said, taking a small step back.He didn’t take the hint. Instead, he leaned closer.“I’ve been watching you,”

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE

ELLIOT Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. How stupid was I? It was funny that after last night, after what we shared, I somehow believed our relationship was about to change. That Asher loved me. How stupid. How naive. I shouldn’t have come. That was the only coherent thought running through my head as I pushed through the crowd, past flashing lights and bodies that were too close to me. I shouldn’t have come. The music throbbed in my ears, but it was nothing compared to the pounding in my chest. I shouldn’t have come. Because now I couldn’t unsee it. The way that guy had been sitting close to Asher. The way his body had been angled toward him. The way it had all looked so easy, natural. I exhaled sharply as I stepped outside of the club, the cool night air hitting my face like a slap. It didn’t help to calm the rising heat within me. I wrapped my jacket tighter around me and continued walking. “Elliot,” Asher called out behind me. Fuck. I didn’t think he’d catch up this fast. I

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR

ELLIOT It was almost pathetic how the answer rose in me, sharp and instinctual. Yes. Yes, I trusted him. But I wasn’t sure if it was right to tell him that. Or if it was even right to feel this way toward someone I had only known for months. “I want to,” I said finally. My answer didn’t deter him. His mouth firmed. “You should.” His hand left my cheek and I mourned the loss almost immediately. He ran a hand through his hair, his frustration evident behind his movements. “I didn’t even know you were coming,” he said. I frowned. “Sebastian invited me. He texted me, saying I should join you guys.” His expression darkened. “That bastard. Of course he did,” he muttered. I was mildly confused. Did Sebastian not tell him I was coming? My mind ran through a variety of scenarios. “Do you think he set you up?” I asked. “Why would he even do that?” “He’s just bored. And when he’s bored, he likes to stir things up.” Asher shook his head. “I should’ve known. He was having way to

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE

ASHERI spent most of the day looking for Sebastian. I didn’t know if he was intentionally avoiding me or if he just chose to skip class today.Either way, I was going to find him. And if he was actually avoiding me, then good for him. Maybe he was smart after all.I promised I was going to deal with him and I never let up on my promises.Because of his games, he almost destroyed my relationship with Elliot.If not for Elliot trusting me, we probably would have broken up.So yeah, I was going to make him pay.Speaking of Elliot, I still couldn’t believe he was technically my boyfriend now. It was exciting but on the other hand, I was a little worried. As far as I could remember, I had never had a stable relationship.What if I managed to mess things up?Not to mention there was still the question of how we were going to break the news to our family. They were definitely not going to take it well.I was especially concerned about my mother. I was risking her happiness just by being wit

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX

ASHERNow he looked suspicious.“You don’t do surprises.”“Maybe I’m trying something new.”He studied my face, clearly trying to figure me out.“What kind of surprise?” he asked finally.“You’ll see.”He didn’t move immediately. I could practically see the wheels turning in his head.“This isn’t revenge, is it?” he asked.I raised an eyebrow. “Do I look like the type to get revenge?”“Yes,” he said without hesitation.He knew me well. Which was why he shouldn’t have tried me in the first place.“Are you coming or not?” I asked.He hesitated for another second.Then he sighed. “Fine. If I die, I’m haunting you.”“Whatever.”I turned and started walking again.This time, he followed a little cautiously.We made our way down one of the quieter hallways. It belonged to the Arts students but they rarely used it unless they had a class there.I stopped in front of the door of an empty classroom. Sebastian frowned. “This is it?”“Yeah.”His suspicion deepened. “Why are we—”“Just go in.”H

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN

ELLIOTI couldn’t stop smiling.It was actually a problem.I’ve tried. Seriously, I have. I’ve pressed my lips together and even pinched the inside of my cheek like that would somehow reset my face.It didn’t work.The second I stopped thinking about it, even for a second, it came rushing back.Asher was officially my boyfriend.The thought landed again, just as unreal as the first time, like my brain hadn’t caught up with it yet.I looked around at my friends, busy chatting happily. We were all gathered in Elsa’s house, just like we did on Saturdays. It was the same life I’ve always had. Same friends, same me, same everything. Nothing has changed.And yet everything felt different. Like something had shifted and I was still trying to find my balance in it.Music played softly from somewhere in the background. The scent of something sweet, probably whatever Elsa baked earlier, lingered in the air. There were blankets thrown carelessly over the couch, pillows that had definitely seen b

CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT

ELLIOTLucas leaned in immediately. “What kind of situation?”“Not that kind,” I shot back.He looked disappointed. “Shame.”“Anyway,” I continued, ignoring him, “there was a misunderstanding. I thought he—” I hesitated slightly. “I thought he was… with someone else.”Elsa’s expression shifted instantly. “What?”“He wasn’t,” I said quickly. “It looked bad, but it wasn’t what I thought.”Houston nodded slowly. “Okay… and?”“And we talked,” I said. “Like actually talked. About everything.”My fingers curled slightly against my jeans as I thought back to last night. The way he looked at me. The things he said.The way he chose me.“And then?” Elsa prompted softly.I exhaled.“And then he said he didn’t want things to be vague anymore,” I said. “He said he wanted me. Just me.”Lucas leaned back slightly, folding his arms. “Damn.”Houston smiled a little. “That’s… kind of sweet.”Elsa watched me carefully. “And you?”“I said yes,” I replied simply.Her expression softened almost immediatel

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE

ASHERSebastian Sinclair was an easygoing person but he could be downright stubborn when he wanted to be.Like right now.I raised a finger to press the doorbell again. Like I’ve done for at least a hundred times now.It was obvious he was avoiding me.I haven’t seen him for the past four days since I locked him up in a room with Alexander. He hasn’t texted or called, and he’s been ignoring all my text messages and avoiding all my calls. This was unfamiliar territory for me because it was always the other way round.Now, the shoe was on the other foot. I knew the feeling now— and it was terrible.This morning, I made a snap decision after he ignored another one of my messages. It was up to me to fix things.Which was why I’ve been standing in front of his apartment door for the past hour or so. On a Saturday morning.I thought of all the other things I could be doing with my time other than being here.Our parents were out, so I could’ve lounged in bed with Elliot at least until the a

CHAPTER EIGHTY

ASHERI took a quick glance around the condo. It looked normal. Maybe a little messier than usual. There were empty takeout boxes on the counter, a blanket thrown carelessly over the couch, and a glass sitting on the table that looked like it hadn’t been washed in days.Sebastian flopped onto the couch dramatically, grabbing a pillow and hugging it to his chest like he was the victim here.“At least I was trying to help. What were you hoping to achieve other than, oh I don’t know, completely ruining my life?I rolled my eyes. “You’re so dramatic.”“I should’ve done worse in that club.”“I should’ve left you in that classroom longer.”His head snapped toward me. “Asshole.”“Dumbass.”I sat down on the couch, tossing the blanket aside as I watched him.“Why the hell are you still mad?” I asked. “Thought you would’ve gotten over it by now.”He let out a humorless laugh. “Oh, I’m sorry. Did I miss the part where you locked me in a room with the guy who rejected me and disappeared for four
