All Chapters of The Bully's Regret: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Wren CarterAdrian’s car stopped right outside my apartment building before he killed the engine. For a moment, I just sat still, unable to move. It was like my mind had stopped processing after everything that went down tonight. It was not supposed to go like this. This is not what Gen explained to me. I wasn’t here for all of this. Now tomorrow I’m going to be the talk of the college yet again, probably with my face pasted on all the walls of the college with those slutty names written all over it. Just why? Why couldn’t I have peace in my life for once? Did I really not deserve any appreciation? Any lov—“Wren?” Adrian called out, cutting my thoughts off. My head whipped to his direction.“Huh?” “Are you okay?” He looked concerned. “I shook my head snapping out of it.”“Yea–yeah. I’m fine. Sorry.” I muttered before hurrying to shake his jacket off me and hand it back to him. “Here. Thanks for that.”“You don’t have to thank me for it.” He looked at me like he was trying to conve

Cyrus Blackwood“You don’t get to decide that,” she shot back bitterly. Her eyes burned into mine with so much anger that it should’ve made me back off.Instead—It only made me want her more. Because at least she was looking at me again. I stepped closer, ignoring the way students lingering in the hallway had slowed down to openly stare at us now.“I already did,” I said quietly.Wren let out a humorless laugh, shaking her head like she couldn’t believe me. “God, you’re unbelievable.”Then the bell rang. The loud sound echoed through the hallway, instantly breaking whatever tension had wrapped around us. Students started moving again, conversations erupting all around us as people hurried toward their next classes.But the stares remained. I felt them. Everyone did. People looked between me and Wren with confusion written all over their faces. Because this wasn’t normal. Not for me. Not for Cyrus Blackwood. A week ago, I would’ve been the one laughing while someone humiliated her.No

Wren CarterOf course.Of. Course.Because apparently the universe woke up every morning and chose violence specifically against me.The moment my eyes landed on Cyrus, my entire body stiffened.And the worst part?He was already staring at me.Not casually.Not coincidentally.Directly.Intensely.Like the second he walked in, he looked for me first.My stomach twisted uncomfortably.Beside him, Ryan was saying something while Lucas checked his phone and Ethan looked half-dead as usual, but Cyrus barely seemed to hear any of them.His attention stayed locked on me.Or more specifically—On Adrian sitting across from me.I saw the exact moment his jaw tightened.“Oh no,” Gen muttered under her breath beside me.Too late.Ryan spotted us next.“Well, well, well,” he drawled loudly enough to attract attention. “If it isn’t our favorite scholarship girl.”I immediately looked away, grip tightening around my coffee cup.Please don’t start.Please.But of course they would.Because peace c

Wren CarterCyrus barely reacted to the shove.His eyes stayed locked on me with that same intense expression that had been haunting me for days now.“You are.”I stared at him incredulously.“What?”“You’re my problem, Wren.”The words came out rough.Raw.And before I could even process them, he stepped closer.“I can’t watch this anymore.”“Watch what?” I snapped.“This.” His voice sharpened. “You struggling. Working yourself to death. Looking exhausted all the fucking time because of things I did to you.”I froze.My anger faltered slightly.Cyrus ran a frustrated hand through his hair before laughing bitterly at himself.“I was so stupid.”He looked genuinely furious.At himself.“I kept trying to break you without realizing I was already fucking obsessed with you.”The confession hit me like ice water.“What?”His pale blue eyes locked onto mine with terrifying honesty.“I like you, Wren.”Silence.My brain stopped functioning for a second.No.No way.Not Cyrus Blackwood.Not t

Ignoring me. That was her new favorite hobby. I leaned against the wall outside my classroom and watched Wren exit through the opposite hallway. The second her eyes landed on me, she immediately turned around and took another route.Again.My jaw tightened. Three days. For three damn days she had been avoiding me. Every corridor. Every class break. Every lunch period. Every opportunity I got to approach her.Gone.The moment she saw me, she vanished. At first, I thought it was amusing. Then irritating.Now?Now it was driving me insane."She's avoiding you." Ryan's voice came from beside me."No shit."Ryan grinned. "Never thought I'd live long enough to see Cyrus Blackwood get ignored."I shot him a glare. His grin widened. Lucas laughed. Even Ethan looked entertained. Unfortunately for me. That entertainment didn't last."This is pathetic." I turned my head slowly. Ethan was looking at me with obvious disapproval. The others immediately went quiet."What did you just say?"He shrugg
