CHAPTER ONE

Chloe POV “C'mon, you're gonna love it there… it really isn't that bad.”My mother chirps while driving, I don't reply, my head still bent down, fingers scrolling through my phone.“Chloe, drop that phone. Remember the rules, this is our bonding time.” I grunt, switching off the phone.The road stretches forever.Fields blur past the window, green and gold and meaningless, carrying a taste of fresh leaves. I press my forehead against the glass, letting the vibration settle into my skull.“Suck it all in, take photos. You used to love these things, road trips, especially with the boys, remember the Blackwell boys right?”Of course I remember them, how will I forget the boys that brought fun into my childhood, and then broke it by leaving. “I was like seven, everything's changed since then. I barely even know their names.” Not barely, I vividly remember. Asher, Kai and Jace. After ten years, I never thought I'd meet them again.Mom hasn’t turned on the radio. She does that when she’s

CHAPTER TWO

Chloe POV Curly blond hair, a sharply defined jawline, and those unmistakable grey eyes met mine from across the yard. For a moment, everything else fell away. I knew those eyes. I would recognize them anywhere.Yet something about them had changed.They were colder now—distant in a way I couldn’t quite place, as though whatever once lived behind them had been carefully shut away. And still, standing there under the open sky, the space between us felt unnervingly small, as if the years that separated us had folded in on themselves.He wore a plain sleeveless shirt and black shorts, his posture rigid, his jaw set tight. There was no flicker of recognition on his face, no hint that he saw anything more than a stranger standing across from him.But I remembered.The sound of laughter echoed faintly in my mind, carrying on the memory of sunlight and water. Long afternoons spent swimming, careless and endless, before everything twisted into something unrecognizable. Those moments had be

CHAPTER THREE

Chloe POV The reception area wasn’t quiet.Voices carried in from the hallway in uneven waves—laughter, footsteps, lockers slamming shut somewhere down the corridor. Students passed by the glass doors in quick movement, like I was watching everything from the wrong side of something.I sank further into the chair, shifting until the edge stopped digging into my back. It didn’t help.My gaze drifted to the clock above the desk.Still early, too slow.I exhaled through my nose, dragging my eyes away before I could start counting seconds. The receptionist didn’t look up, just kept typing like none of this was unusual. Like people sat here every day, waiting to be processed into whatever this place was supposed to be.I huffed quietly under my breath. Don't even get me started on how I had to endure whatever Marcus was saying, a bigger mystery might be how his voice even managed to pierce through my headphones.He kept on blabbing on how, what was that word again?‘Different’ Blackridge

CHAPTER FOUR

Chloe POV The silence stretched longer than it should have.Asher stood off to the side, dressed in a white vest and worn jean shorts, the fabric smudged with oil and dust. Beside him, Kai and Jace were shirtless, their skin sheened with sweat that traced slow lines from their necks down to their chests.I swallowed.My heartbeat picked up, sharp and uneven. It wasn’t my fault—they were all staring. Not just looking. Staring.The same way they had been since I arrived.A cold breeze slipped through the space, lifting strands of my hair and carrying with it the dry, earthy scent of leaves and roots.Asher looked amused, a faint, knowing smile playing on his lips, like he was watching something unfold exactly the way he expected. Kai, on the other hand, didn’t smile at all. His gaze moved over me carefully, measured, as if assessing something I couldn’t see.And then there was Jace.His stare didn’t linger—it cut.I tightened my grip on the box in my hands.“Hiii,” I said, dragging the

CHAPTER FIVE

Chloe POV I woke up with the urge to pee in the middle of the night, I looked up at the ticking clock. One. am, wow, just great. Not much like I was sleeping before that.I pushed the sheets off and sat up, the cool air brushing against my skin. The room felt more quiet and heavier than before.I slid off the bed and walked to the door, reaching for the handle. It didn’t move. I frowned, twisting it again.Nothing.I pulled harder this time. Still stuck.“Seriously?” I whispered, more annoyed than surprised. I tried again, slower this time, like that would change anything.It didn’t.Somehow I'd managed to lock myself out of my own bathroom?I let out a quiet breath, resting my forehead briefly against the door before stepping back.Fine.There had to be another bathroom. I opened the door on my second try, this one leading out—and stepped into the hallway.It was quieter, of course it was. I mean it's fucking one. Am in the morning and not everyone locks themselves out of their own
