All Chapters of Dark Secrets Between Roommates: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Chapter 181 AidenI stood in the middle of the small dorm room. The thin sheet was still wrapped around my body. My hands held the black leather blindfold and the two brass keys. Chris stood a few steps away from me. His eyes were red from crying. His knuckles were raw and red. Blood still showed on the skin. Up on the top bunk Jovian slept deep. His breathing was heavy and slow. He did not move. The room was quiet except for that sound.I looked at Chris. My voice came out flat and cold."You said you would do anything so I can forgive you. Prove you are not him. Do exactly what the Mysterious Man did to me. But stop the second I tell you to. If you hesitate, if you go too far, if you enjoy it the same way he did, I will know."Chris stared at me. His face went pale. He looked horrified. He also looked desperate. He did not want to do this. I could see it. But he was terrified of losing me. He nodded once."Okay," he said. His voice was rough. "Okay, Aiden. I will do what you ask."

Chapter 183 Aiden I threw the last of my shirts into the duffel bag hard enough that the zipper almost caught on the fabric. Chris stood right over me like he thought standing closer would change my mind. His voice kept climbing every time I shoved something else in.“You cannot just leave like this, Aiden. Not after everything. Not after last night. You said you believed me. You looked me in the eye and said it. Now you pack a bag and act like none of it happened?”I did not look up. I yanked a pair of jeans from the chair and stuffed them down the side of the bag. “I am going home. Summer break started. My family is in the countryside. That is it. Please Chris, I need some time of my own to think and all that. End of discussion, thank you.”“That is not it.” He grabbed the edge of the bag and tried to pull it toward him. I held on and kept packing. “You think I am going to sit in this city while you disappear into some farm town for a month plus? You think I will just wait and hop

Chapter 185 Aiden The bus ride took six hours and I spent most of it staring out the window watching the city shrink and disappear behind me. The buildings got shorter and the spaces between them got wider until there was nothing but open fields and patches of trees and the occasional farmhouse sitting alone in the middle of nowhere. I had my duffel bag on my lap and my jacket bunched up under my head and I did not think about Chris or Ethan or Jovian for almost the entire ride. I just watched the countryside roll by and tried to remember what it felt like to breathe without someone watching.When the bus finally pulled into the small village stop, I grabbed my bag and stepped out into the fresh air. It smelled like grass and dirt and something sweet I could not name. The sun was warm on my face and there was no traffic noise, no shouting, no doors slamming. Just the sound of birds and the distant hum of a tractor somewhere in the fields.My mother was already waiting in the old blu

Chapter 187AidenI stayed by the window and watched the headlights move slowly along the dirt road. They were not coming fast. Whoever was driving seemed to know exactly where they were going, and that made my stomach tighten more than if they had been speeding toward the house. The lights came closer until I could see the shape of the car behind them, but then it stopped. It did not continue toward the farmhouse. It simply turned slightly and parked near the end of the road. The engine stayed on, and the headlights remained pointed toward the house.I did not move from the window. I stood there with one hand resting against the wall and watched the car sit in the distance. There was something about it that felt wrong. If someone had come to visit, they would have driven up to the house. If they were lost, they would have gotten out and asked for directions. This person had done neither. They had stopped far enough away to watch us without coming close.I looked at the clock beside m

Chapter 189 Aiden I stood in the hallway with my hand on the door handle and my heart moving too fast in my chest. Three names ran through my head one after the other. Jovian. Chris. Ethan. Any of them standing on the other side of this door would turn the morning into something I could not control. I had spent the last two days trying to believe the farm was far enough away. The note in my pocket already proved that belief was wrong. Now someone was knocking and saying my name like they had every right to be here.I did not open the door right away. I leaned closer and kept my voice low.“Who is it?”There was a short pause. Then a familiar voice answered, and it was not any of the three I expected.“It’s Eric.”I froze. For a second I thought I had heard wrong. Eric. My tutee. The one who always showed up early for sessions and stayed late asking questions that had nothing to do with the work. The one I had left behind in the city without a single message. I stared at the wood of
