All Chapters of Tamed By The Campus Bad Boy: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

AARON'S POV"The next part," I repeated. "What the hell does that even mean?""He won't say over text." Leon's thumb hovered over the reply button, his brow furrowed. "Do we go?"Everything in me wanted to say no — wanted to slam the door on Damian entirely and never let him back into whatever fragile, complicated thing Leon and I were building. But the phrase *the next part* sat in my chest like a lit fuse, and I couldn't shake the feeling that ignoring it would be worse than whatever manipulation Damian had planned."We go," I said. "But we go together, and the second it feels like a setup, we leave. No exceptions."Leon nodded, typing back a short reply, and twenty minutes later we were pulling up outside the same coffee shop as before, except this time Damian was already sitting at a table in the back corner, his laptop open in front of him, his expression uncharacteristically tense."Thank you for coming," he said as we sat down, and for once there was no smoothness in his voice

AARON'S POV"See you at the hearing," I read again, the words doing nothing to make more sense the second time."What does that mean," Leon said. "Is he a student here? Is that how he even has access to the conduct office?""He'd have to be," Damian said slowly, thinking it through. "Or he's got someone on the inside feeding him information. Either way, if he's planning to actually show up—""Then we finally get to see his face," I finished, something cold and determined settling into my chest for the first time since this entire nightmare started. "We stop chasing shadows and screenshots. We actually get him in a room.""That's assuming he shows up as himself," Rose said. "If he's been hiding behind burner numbers and fake accounts for months, he's not going to walk into a university hearing under his real name unless he wants to be seen.""Maybe he does want to be seen," Damian said quietly. "Think about it. Everything he's done so far has been designed to be discovered eventually —

AARON'S POVI watched them lead Ethan out through the glass doors, and something in my chest cracked open in a way I hadn't expected — not relief, exactly, though there was some of that tangled in. Mostly just a hollow, exhausted grief for a version of a person I used to know who'd let something rot inside him for two years until it turned into this."Are you okay?" Leon asked quietly, his hand still wrapped around mine."I don't know," I admitted. "I should feel like this is over. Instead I just feel sick.""That makes sense," Ms. Alvarez said gently, folding the confession carefully into a file. "You just watched someone you once cared about admit to something monstrous. It's allowed to feel complicated."She excused herself to start the process of formally closing my case, promising the scholarship board would be notified that the complaint had been entirely fabricated, that there would be no hearing, no suspension, nothing left hanging over either of our heads except the slow work

LEON'S POVNobody moved even a single tiny inch .The three of us stood frozen on the porch, the engine idling somewhere past the tree line at the edge of the driveway, headlights dark, and every instinct in my body screamed to get inside and lock the door."Get in the house," Aaron said quietly, already positioning himself between us and the driveway. "Both of you. Now.""Aaronn —""Now, Leon."Rose grabbed my arm and pulled, and for once I didn't argue, stumbling backward through the front door with her while Aaron lingered a moment longer on the porch, watching the dark shape of the car like he could will it into revealing itself.Inside, my hands shook so badly I fumbled the deadbolt twice before it finally clicked into place. Rose was already dialing, her voice tight and fast against the phone."This is Rose Kessler, I need to report a vehicle parked outside a residence, we already have an active police case connected to it—"Aaron slipped in through the door a moment later, lock

LEON'S POV"He's coming outside," I said, my voice a bit tight,. "Rose, getbehind the car.""No." She stood her ground, though I could see her hands trembling at her sides. "I'm done hiding from him."The front door chimed as Marcus stepped out into the parking lot, still in his work apron, moving with an unsettling calm that made my skin crawl. He stopped a few feet from us, his eyes flicking between all of us before settling on Rose."Rose," he said, and his voice was warmer than I expected, almost gentle, which somehow made it worse. "You look well.""Don't," Rose said, her voice shaking but steady. "Don't act like you're happy to see me. Not after everything."Something flickered across his face — not quite guilt, but something adjacent to it. "I don't know what you think I did—""Cut it," Aaron said sharply, stepping forward. "We know about Ethan. We know about the messages. We know you two have been working together this whole time."For a long moment, Marcus just stared at us,
