All Chapters of Off-Side Love With My Best Friend's Brother : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

WrenBy two o'clock that afternoon, my mood was completely ruined.The brief spark of hope I had felt at the apartment was fading under the crushing weight of exhaustion. My head ached, my eyes were dry, and every time I thought about tomorrow morning's eight o'clock deadline, a sickening knot twisted in my stomach.I walked alone across the wide concrete plaza toward the main campus library. The autumn wind whistled through the bare tree branches, biting at my nose and cheeks. Dani had tried to reassure me before I left the apartment, kissing my temple and telling me to trust the plan, but I was just so tired of being hunted. I was tired of Blake’s games, tired of hiding, and tired of feeling like my whole life was constantly hanging by a thin thread.I reached the bottom of the grand stone steps leading up to the library entrance."Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to come out into the light."A smooth, mocking voice echoed from behind the massive stone pillars.I stopped.

DaniI had spent the last twenty-four hours burning alive from the inside out.Seeing Wren standing in her bedroom doorway at midnight, sobbing hysterically, trembling like a frightened bird as she held out her glowing phone—it had done something terrifying to my chest. It was a cold, sickening pain that ripped right through my gut. I had watched her pour her soul into that research paper for weeks. I had seen her fall asleep at her desk with sticky notes stuck to her cheek. I had watched her sacrifice her rest, her energy, and her peace to secure her future.And Blake had tried to throw it all in the trash just to break her. Just to force her back into his grip.Every second since yesterday morning, my blood had been boiling with a dark, violent thirst for revenge. Punching Blake outside the library had felt good, but it hadn't been enough. It wasn't enough to settle the rage roaring in my veins. I wanted to destroy him. I wanted to tear down everything he cared about until there was

WrenIf Blake has been passed out at a bar for two hours...Then who the hell was standing on the roof watching us?The front door of the apartment slammed shut, and Dani instantly threw the heavy deadbolt into place.I leaned my back against the wall, my chest heaving, my heart hammering against my ribs. My fingers were still trembling from what we had seen on the roof. The image of that dark, broad figure standing in the shadows of the opposite building, staring right at us, was burned into my mind."Dani, call Ross again," I whispered, my voice shaking. "Please. Call him right now."Dani pulled out his phone, his face pale and rigid. His thumbs moved fast over the screen as he hit speed dial and put the call on speaker.After two quick rings, Ross’s voice came through the speaker, loud over the background noise of music and clinking glasses. "Dani? What’s going on? Is everything okay with Wren?""Ross, I need you to look at Blake right now," Dani demanded, his tone sharp and urgent

Wren"Enjoy your little victory while it lasts, Wren. Dani might protect you today, but drama follows you everywhere. Karma isn't finished with you yet." She sneered at me."Back off, Sienna," Anna snapped, stepping in front of me and shoving Sienna’s hand away. "Go complain somewhere else."Sienna glared at both of us, let out a harsh laugh, whipped around on her heel, and strutted away into the building.I shook my head, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart. "She's ridiculous.""She's just mad because Dani blew her off in front of everyone," Anna said, linking her arm through mine as we continued walking toward the Humanities building. "Oh, speaking of Blake's little crew... have you seen Emily lately?"I frowned, looking at Anna. "Emily? No. Why?""It's really strange," Anna whispered, scanning the crowd around us. "She hasn't been to a single class in three days. Her dorm room is completely untouched, her phone goes straight to voicemail, and her sorority sisters said she

Wren"Hello?" I called out, my voice sounding small and weak in the cold air.Only the rustling of fallen leaves answered me. Frustration and fear pooled in my stomach. Am I losing my mind? I thought, pressing my hands against my temples. Julian is locked up. Blake is ruined. Why can't I stop feeling like I'm being hunted?"Wren!"I turned and saw Anna running toward me across the grass, waving her arm."Hey!" Anna said, catching her breath as she stopped beside me. "Why are you standing out here looking like you just saw a ghost?""I... I thought someone was following me," I admitted softly, looking back over my shoulder. "Anna, I feel like I'm losing my mind."Anna’s energetic mood instantly softened into deep concern. She grabbed both of my hands, looking me in the eyes. "Wren, look at me. You just survived a stalker, a break-in, and an academic sabotage all in the span of a few months. Your brain is on high alert. It's trauma, okay? You're hyper-vigilant.""Maybe you're right," I
