Chapter 130: THE HARD TRUTH.

Britney exhaled, knowing that the moment was important to make the right decision. The entire auditorium was watching, waiting for her next move. She could feel eyes on her—the pressure to remain silent, to let the trio off easy, to walk away and pretend it didn’t matter.Britney exhaled shakily, gathering herself.Her heart raced, but she knew this was the moment she had to take a stand, not just for herself, but for every student who had been made to feel small, scared, or worthless. She had endured enough—every day had been a battle, and she had fought it in silence. No more.She stepped forward, her palms slightly sweaty, but she held her head high. The room was eerily silent, all eyes fixed on her. As she opened her mouth to speak, a surge of courage rushed through her."Jasmine, Megan, and Laura…" she started, her voice shaking but growing stronger with each word. She could feel the weight of her words settling over the crowd. "They've made my life a nightmare in this school. Eve

Chapter 131: BARBIE MAKE ALL GIRLS SMILE.

Brandon stood in the corner, observing as Ethan finished up with the last of the pictures and autographs. His eyes never left Britney, who was smiling brightly as students flocked around her.For a moment, Brandon felt a pang of guilt. He realized how self-absorbed he had been, too wrapped up in his own world to notice how much Britney had needed him. Steeling himself, he walked over to her, his hands in his pockets, his heart heavy.“Britney,” he began, his voice low, “I’m sorry. I’ve been selfish…so caught up in my own stuff that I didn’t even see you needed me. I should have been there for you.”Britney looked at him, her eyes softening. “Brandon, it’s okay. Really,” she said gently. “You’ve been all I could ever ask for. I know you care, even if you don’t always show it.”As they headed back toward the helicopter, students passing by whispered amongst themselves, their gazes admiring Britney."Wow, she's that girl!" one said, eyes wide with awe."Look at her necklace. She must be

Chapter 132: GOING AFTER THE DEVIL.

The day passed quickly after their return to the office. Ethan and Brandon found a quiet satisfaction in knowing they had made Britney’s birthday special. Yet, as soon as they settled back into their respective offices, the discomfort of their personal struggles returned, creeping into every moment of silence. They both became consumed by their own unresolved problems—ones that had been hovering just beneath the surface.As the workday wound down, Ethan gathered his things and left the office. But even as he walked into the familiar comfort of his home, it offered little relief. He had spent the day pretending everything was fine, but now, the truth he'd been avoiding was waiting for him, lurking in the documents he couldn’t seem to put away. There was no escaping it anymore. He needed to confront the reality he'd been denying.He bypassed the living room, not even bothering to change out of his work clothes, and headed straight to his study—a room that felt more like a fortress than

Chapter 133: KILL FOR DESIRE.

He approached the front door and raised his hand to knock, but hesitated. His mind was swirling with scenarios. Would Henry laugh in his face? Would he try to blackmail him? Or was there a chance—just a small chance—that Henry would be reasonable, that they could come to some kind of understanding?Before he could second-guess himself any further, he knocked.For a moment, there was nothing. Just silence. Brandon’s pulse quickened again. He was about to turn away when the door creaked open.Henry stood there, looking as smug as ever, leaning against the doorframe with a knowing smile. "Brandon Daniel," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What are you doing at my front door? How did you find me?"Brandon’s throat tightened, but he forced himself to stay calm. “We need to talk," he stated, ignoring Henry’s previous questions.Henry’s smirk widened. “Oh, I’m sure we do.”Without waiting for an invitation, Brandon pushed past him and stepped inside. His eyes scanned the room, takin

Chapter 134: THE SWORD.

Brandon’s heart pounded in his chest as he lunged at Henry, adrenaline coursing through his veins. His hands found purchase on Henry’s shoulders, and with a violent shove, he sent the man flying backward into the corner. Henry hit the ground with a heavy thud, a grunt of pain escaping his lips as he slumped against the wall.Brandon didn’t wait to see the damage. He bolted for the door, tearing it open and sprinting toward his car. His breath came in ragged gasps as he fumbled for his keys, unlocking the door and tossing the folder into the passenger seat with shaking hands. But as he reached for the driver’s side door, something tugged at him. A gnawing feeling in the pit of his stomach told him to turn back, to check on Henry.He couldn’t shake the image of Henry, crumpled in the corner like that. The man was old, and Brandon had been rough—too rough. What if he’d hurt him worse than he realized?Brandon hesitated, his fingers trembling as he hovered near the door handle. The folder

Chapter 135: SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG.

Brandon’s heart pounded in his chest as he crept through the house, carefully avoiding anyone who might still be awake. His steps felt heavier with each passing moment, the weight of what he’d done threatening to crush him. "Killed a man," he kept thinking. It echoed in his head over and over until it was all he could hear.Once he reached the bathroom, he locked the door and caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Blood—Henry’s blood—smeared across his clothes, his hands, and even his face. His eyes widened in horror at the sight. The reality of it all finally sank in, and the floodgates opened. He collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.He was disgusted with himself. He had taken a life. "A human life."When the tears finally slowed, he rose to his feet and quickly stripped off his clothes, unable to bear the sight of them any longer. They felt like they were suffocating him. He grabbed a pair of scissors from the drawer and began cutting them into shreds, piece by piece,

Chapter 136: ESCAPISM.

A few days passed, and Brandon continued to ignore not just Ethan but also Britney. He made sure to slip out of the house early, well before she woke up, heading straight to the office. After work, he would quietly sneak back home.But today was different. After a long, draining meeting that left him feeling depressed, Brandon decided to march into Ethan’s office. He knocked gently on the door, greeted Becky, and stepped inside.“Well, look who finally decided to show up after avoiding me for days,” Ethan remarked, loosening his tie as he set his gaze on Brandon.Brandon moved closer to him. “I’m sorry, baby. I’ve just been so preoccupied with work,” he lied, trying to sound convincing.“I run this company, and I’m extremely busy too, but nothing is ever important enough to keep me from seeing you. We’re all busy, but when you love someone, you make time for them. That’s how it works.”“I know, I’m sorry,” Brandon mumbled, leaning in for a kiss. “Actually, I’ve been planning something

Chapter 137: HIS ZONE.

Ethan’s breath caught in his throat as the car came to a halt. Sicily. His hometown. He hadn’t stepped foot in these streets in years. Now, being here again felt like a burden settling into his chest, heavy and unyielding. The sun sat high in the sky, casting a golden glow that reflected off the cobbled streets. The air carried that familiar blend of salt and earth, tugging at long-forgotten corners of his memory.They stepped out of the car in silence. The modest hotel Brandon had booked wasn’t extravagant, but it was thoughtful—an intimate place for them to stay. Ethan appreciated the gesture, though he couldn’t help but glance at Brandon, noticing the weariness etched into his face. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes, usually bright and steady, seemed distant, lost in some thought he wasn’t sharing.“You sure you’re okay?” Ethan asked for what felt like the hundredth time, his voice quieter than usual.Brandon gave him a weak smile, the kind that barely lifted the corners of his li

Chapter 138: SOME PAINS CAN'T HEAL.

Ethan approached Brandon, keeping his face blank but his steps alert. He hadn’t wanted to admit it at first—hadn’t wanted to confront the truth that had been killing him within since they started talking about his past. But now, standing in front of Brandon, it felt impossible to ignore.Ethan’s gaze softened, and his voice lowered to a vulnerable murmur. “You were right, Brandon,” he began, hesitating just long enough for the words to land. “I’ve been holding onto things for too long—anger, resentment. All these emotions that I thought were protecting me, but really... they’ve been keeping me stuck.”Brandon’s expression remained calm, but his eyes was filled with something—perhaps relief, perhaps understanding. He stayed quiet, letting Ethan say what needed to be said.“I’ve avoided this place for years,” Ethan continued, glancing at the dilapidated house in front of them. “I thought if I didn’t look back, if I didn’t confront any of it, I could move on. But I was wrong. I need to f

Chapter 139: THE DREAM.

Ethan handed Brandon a glass of water, his gaze soft with concern as he watched Brandon’s shaky hands grasp the cup. “Take it slow,” Ethan murmured, his voice low and soothing. Brandon nodded, sipping carefully, feeling the cool liquid coat his dry throat, but it did little to settle the turmoil inside him.Once Brandon’s breathing evened out, Ethan asked gently, “What happened? Why were you apologizing?”Brandon hesitated, his chest tightening under the weight of his lie before it even escaped his lips. He glanced down at the floor, avoiding Ethan’s eyes. “It was just a bad dream,” he muttered, forcing a casual shrug. “Ever since that attack… I get these nightmares. Like I’m being murdered all over again.”Ethan’s expression darkened with guilt, and he reached out, clasping Brandon’s hand in his. “I’m so sorry,” Ethan whispered, his thumb brushing the back of Brandon’s hand in small, comforting strokes. “I swear, I’ll never let anything like that happen to you again.”A lump of guilt
