Chapter 62 : The Pull They Can’t Break

The corridor felt heavier than before. John stood there long after Joy left. Her words kept echoing in his head. You’re the first one they’ll come for. He exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair again. Everything was slipping. Too fast. Too messy. And the worst part? He couldn’t stop thinking about her. Christiana. No matter how complicated things got— No matter how dangerous it became— He still wanted her. That was the problem. That was always the problem. Back inside the room— Christiana sat on the edge of her bed, staring at nothing. Her thoughts weren’t quiet. They were loud. Messy. Unsettled. Everything was spiraling— The whispers, the tension, Amara, the plan— But beneath all that… There was something else. Him. She clenched her jaw slightly. “I shouldn’t,” she muttered under her breath.

Her expression had changed again. The softness was gone. Replaced by control. By distance. “You don’t walk away,” she continued. “You come back.

The night didn’t settle.It stretched.Too long. Too quiet.Christiana lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling, her mind refusing to rest. Every moment replayed—John’s voice, Amara’s eyes, Joy’s smirk, the woman’s warning.Nothing felt contained anymore.Beside her, Veronica shifted slightly.“You’re still awake,” she whispered.Christiana didn’t turn.“So are you,” she replied.A pause.Veronica exhaled softly.“I don’t feel safe,” she admitted.That word—Safe—It sounded almost foreign now.Christiana closed her eyes briefly.“Neither do I,” she said.Silence followed.Heavy.Because saying it out loud made it real.“What if they already have enough?” Veronica asked quietly.Christiana opened her eyes again.“They don’t,” she said.Her voice was calm.Too calm.Veronica frowned slightly.“How do you know?” she asked.Christiana turned her head just enough to look at her.“Because if they did,” she said,“They wouldn’t still be watching.”Silence.That logic—It made sense.But it di
