Chapter 127 - What about me
Last Updated:
2024-11-09 17:54:46Later that night, my phone buzzes with Liam’s name lighting up the screen. I can’t help but feel a flutter of excitement before I open the text, which quickly evaporates as I read.
Liam:
Why’d you leave with Nathan instead of me?I bite my lip, uncertain how to respond. I should have seen this coming, but the last thing I want is for this to turn into an argument. I start typing, choosing my words carefully.
Me:
It wasn’t about you, Liam. Tamrin was there, and she’s already suspicious. If she sees me with you too much, she’ll go straight to Presley.I stare at the screen, waiting for the three dots to pop up. A part of me hopes he’ll understand, that he’ll get that I’m just trying to keep things from exploding into more drama. When his reply finally comes, it’s clipped.
Liam:
I don’t care what Tamrin or Presley thinks.

The walk to Sadie's place is a blur, every step heavy with the anger bubbling inside me. I can't believe what I just saw. Celeste—of all people—wrapped up with someone like Liam? The whole scene replays in my mind, and my chest tightens with a mix of jealousy and hurt.I finally reach Sadie's house and knock, practically vibrating with the need to spill everything. She opens the door, and before she can even greet me, I burst out, "You won’t believe what I just saw."Sadie raises an eyebrow. “What? What happened?” she asks, motioning for me to come inside.“I had coffee with Celeste, Nathan… and Liam.” The words fall out of my mouth like a confession, and I watch as Sadie’s expression shifts from curiosity to something sharper.“Wait—coffee? With Celeste?” Sadie’s tone is cool, but I can sense something simmering beneath it. “Are you telling me you’re hanging out wi

The sun’s just about to dip below the horizon, casting this deep orange light over everything as we step onto the carnival grounds. It’s cool, that kind of perfect evening breeze coming off the ocean. The sound of waves rolling up the shore blends with the laughter and music around us. I glance over at Celeste and see her smiling, her hair catching the last bit of daylight, and for a moment, I feel… content. Peaceful, even.Nathan is already pulling ahead, grinning like a kid on holiday, dragging us toward the game booths. There’s a lightness to the whole scene that feels rare these days. It’s almost surreal.“Come on, Liam,” Celeste teases, looking over her shoulder at me. “Let’s see if you’re any good at carnival games or if it’s all talk.”I laugh and pull her gently toward the shooting game booth, waving a couple of tickets to the guy behind the counter. “Think you’re up for a real challenge?” I ask, raising an eyebrow as I hand her a plastic rifle.C

The carnival’s music and laughter fill the air, but my focus is entirely on the two figures in the distance—Celeste and Liam, standing by one of the game booths, his arm just brushing hers as they both laugh. My heart pounds as I watch them, each laugh of theirs twisting something in me. Sadie’s words flood back: Maybe we judged her too harshly… Maybe we’re wrong about all of this. It feels like a thorn in my side, nagging at me as I linger on the edge of the crowd.They’re close, too close. The way Liam’s looking at her, even from here, I can feel the intensity. I can’t stop the thought from creeping in—what if they really are together? I can’t shake it, and it’s eating me alive. Suddenly, I realize I need to talk to her, to find some kind of answer in her face, some way to know the truth without jumping to conclusions. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll apologize. I push my way through the crowd, my feet carrying

I catch sight of Tamrin the second Nathan calls her over, her face cautious, her eyes bouncing between Celeste and me. I force a polite smile as she approaches, but inside, I’m grinding my teeth. Her showing up means we’re back to pretending—like everything between Celeste and me is just casual, like she’s not the only person on my mind right now. I know Celeste feels it too; the forced smile she gives Tamrin is too practiced, too stiff. The whole scene feels like a well-rehearsed lie, and I hate it.Without saying a word, I start walking toward the Ferris wheel, letting my steps make my frustration known. It’s high up there, away from prying eyes and hushed whispers, a place where maybe, for a few moments, we don’t have to act. I dig into my pocket, pull out a few crumpled bills, and pay the attendant for a cab big enough for all of us. I glance back, calling them over.They gather around, and as we settle into the cabin, it’s

I stand at the cotton candy stand with Presley, the smell of spun sugar in the air, debating whether to get pink or blue. Presley leans into her choice, laughing, and I almost forget how tangled everything feels these days. I turn around to scan the crowd, hoping to spot a familiar face—anything to take my mind off everything with Tamrin and Celeste. Then I see them, a cluster of faces in the distance, laughing and close. My stomach drops.Tamrin is standing with Celeste, Nathan, and Liam. And they’re not just standing around, either—they look like they’re together, sharing that easy, familiar vibe you only have when you're close. My gasp is barely audible, but Presley catches it. She turns to look where I’m staring, her eyes narrowing as she sees the group for herself.“What the…? Tamrin?” Presley says, clearly stunned, her face hardening as she takes it all in. It’s like watching something surreal unfold. I can b
Last Updated : 2024-11-14I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 133 - The real World
The Ferris wheel's gentle hum fades behind us as we step off, and for a moment, everything feels calm, like the world’s giving us a break. Celeste’s laughter hangs in the air, Tamrin and Nathan’s chatter filling the space around us as we walk toward the food court. It’s a perfect night—just the four of us, blending into the crowd, no one looking twice at us, no one questioning who we are. For once, it feels like I can breathe.Then my phone buzzes, jolting me back to reality. I glance at the screen and feel my heart drop. The name flashing there is one I’ve dreaded seeing tonight. For a second, I think about ignoring it, letting it fade, but I know that’s not an option.“Be right back,” I say, stepping away from the table. I catch Nathan’s eyes as I move off to the side, and he gives me a slight nod. He knows better than to ask, but I can see the concern in his eyes.As I answer, the voice on the other
Last Updated : 2024-11-15I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 134 - The Warehouse
The warehouse is buzzing when I arrive, but it’s not the usual controlled chaos. It’s tense, electric. I can feel it in the air before I even step out of the car. Men are pacing, muttering, looking over their shoulders like shadows might suddenly turn into threats. The second I walk in, the room quiets, their eyes darting toward me like they’re waiting for an explosion.I don’t blame them. I’m furious.I move through the crowd, heading straight for the back office where I know Eric, one of my most reliable runners, is waiting. He shouldn’t even be here. From what I’ve been told, he barely made it out of the ambush alive. He should be in a hospital bed, getting stitches and painkillers. Instead, he’s slumped in a chair with his arm in a makeshift sling, his face pale and slick with sweat.“Eric,” I say, my voice sharper than I intended. “Tell me everything.”He winces as he shifts in the chair, his hand trembling as he runs it through his hair. “It—it was supposed to be a simple pick-u
Last Updated : 2024-11-18I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 135 - Lost Control
The warehouse feels suffocating. The air is thick with tension, and every sound—footsteps, whispers, the scrape of crates being moved—grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard. My fists are clenched so tightly my knuckles ache. Every cell in my body is screaming for release, for violence, for something to break.I sit at the edge of the makeshift desk, staring at nothing, replaying Eric’s words over and over in my head. They’re coming for more. They’re going to take everything from you. My empire is being chipped away, and all I can think about is how much I want to make whoever did this pay.A shuffle of hesitant footsteps behind me pulls me from my thoughts. I don’t turn around. “What?” I snap, my voice low but sharp enough to cut through the room.The kid—barely old enough to shave, one of the newer runners—steps forward. He’s holding a clipboard, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot. &ldq

My heart is going a thousand miles an hour. I stare at Liam, my mouth slightly open, waiting—begging—for him to take it back. To tell me I heard him wrong. To say something, anything, that doesn’t sound like a death sentence.But he just sits there, completely still, watching me with that cold, detached expression, like he’s already made peace with whatever nightmare is about to unfold.And that’s when I snap.“What the hell do you mean it’s already too late?” My voice is sharp, loud enough that a few people glance in our direction. I don’t care. “Why would you even say something like that?”Liam doesn’t react. Doesn’t flinch. Just keeps staring at me like I’m wasting my breath.

My hands are clammy against the warm ceramic of my coffee cup. I haven’t taken a sip in minutes—maybe longer. The coffee shop around me is alive with soft chatter and the clinking of spoons against porcelain, but all of it fades into the background as I stare at him. Liam.He’s sitting at a table near the window, legs stretched out, one arm draped over the back of his chair like he owns the place. Maybe he does. People know who he is. People fear him. And yet, he looks so... calm. Casual. Like he’s just another guy grabbing a morning coffee.Except he isn’t.He’s one of the most dangerous drug lords in the city.And I’m about to walk up to him and ask for help.My heart is hammering in my chest so loud I’m sure the barista behind the counter can hear it. I take a shaky breath and look down at my untouched drink. What the hell am I doing? This is insane. I don’t get involved in things like this.

I take a deep breath before hitting the call button. My fingers feel stiff like they don’t want to move, like my body already knows this conversation won’t go well. But I have to do it. I have to check on Tamrin. Ever since I spoke to Celeste, I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that something is really wrong. Celeste tried to play it cool, but I saw it—plain as day. The fear. The panic. The way her whole body went stiff when I mentioned Trevor’s name. She knows something about him, something she wouldn’t tell me.The phone rings twice before Tamrin picks up, and the moment I hear her voice, I know I’m too late.“Sadie!” she sings, her voice light and full of excitement. “Oh my gosh, I was just thinking about you.”I press my lips together, already feeling the unease creep up my spine. “Hey, T. I wanted to check in. How are you doing?”“Oh, I’m amazing,” s
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 162 - What's the plan?
I watch them from a distance, keeping my footsteps light as I follow up the trail. Trevor doesn’t even realize I’m here. He’s too caught up in whatever game he’s playing with Tamrin, too distracted by his own arrogance to notice the eyes on him. He used to be sharper than this. Back when I first met him, back when he was still trying to prove himself, Trevor never slipped. He never let his guard down. But now? Now he’s making mistakes. Now he’s sloppy.Tamrin giggles as he carries her up the trail, her arms wrapped around his shoulders like she trusts him, like he isn’t the worst kind of danger she could be walking into. He’s using her, and she doesn’t even see it. It makes my stomach twist. She’s just a pawn in whatever this is—whatever he’s planning. And if I know Trevor, it’s not about her. It’s about Celeste.I clench my jaw, keeping a steady pace b
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 161 - When I'm King
I can see it all from up here.The city stretches out beneath us, glittering under the night sky like it was made for me. The streets, the buildings, the people—they don’t know it yet, but one day, they’ll all be mine. When I take Liam’s territory, I won’t be in the shadows anymore. I’ll be the king of this whole damn city.I smirk to myself, chest swelling with anticipation. The thought sends a rush of adrenaline through me, a feeling so strong it makes me chuckle out loud.Tamrin, who’s been staring at the view in awe, turns her head toward me. “What’s so funny?”I glance at her, still smiling. She looks beautiful in the soft glow of the city lights, her expression open, innocent. She has no idea who I really am. No idea what I’m planning.I tilt my head slightly, keeping my tone light. “Just thinking.”She gives me a curious look. “About what?”

I messed up.I could see it the second Tamrin’s lips pressed into a thin line, her arms folding across her chest in that way girls do when they’re deciding if they’re really mad or just annoyed. I had gotten cocky—too many questions about Celeste, too fast. Tamrin might stop talking, and I can’t have that.I force a slow smile, keeping my expression soft. “You’re mad.”Tamrin doesn’t say anything. Just stabs at the last bi

The night started off perfectly. Trevor showed up with a dozen roses—deep red, the kind that makes you feel like you’re the most special girl in the world. He even brought my favorite iced coffee, the way I like it—extra caramel, extra cream.I was glowing. Floating. Five dates in, and Trevor had been everything I could’ve asked for. Sweet, thoughtful, affectionate. It was almost enough to make me forget the disaster of our first date. Almost.We’re sitting

Nathan is sitting across from me, his brows knitted together in that way they always are when he’s worried about me. His concern feels like a weight pressing against my chest, adding to the suffocating anxiety that’s been building since I found out about Tamrin and Trevor.I’m trying to act normal, like everything is fine, but I can feel my hands trembling in my lap. I don’t think Nathan buys it. He’s been watching me too closely for the past twenty minutes while I pr

I can’t believe how different tonight feels. From the moment I step out of the car, Trevor is standing there, waiting, looking sharp and giving me this heart-melting smile. He opens the car door for me like some scene out of a romance movie, and for a second, I can’t help but wonder if this is the same guy from our first date.“You look stunning,” he says, his voice soft but sincere, and I can feel my cheeks heat up.The restaurant he’s chosen this time is
