Chapter 21: Operation Giddy Yourself

The soft glow of the evening sun cast a warm hue on Ariadne's dorm room, filling the room with a gentle silence as she sat by the window, her thoughts scattered all over the place.The events of the dinner party replayed in her mind; the accusations, the misunderstandings, how swiftly he had left her behind without a second thought and the feeling of dejection she felt when Denver abandoned her at the dinner event to take care of Molly instead. It was clear that Denver had chosen to believe Molly's words over hers, and that realization had struck her hard.It’s been days after the dinner event and Ariadne’s communication with Denver has dwindled. Ariadne had intentionally let the conversations dwindle with her unexcited responses after she seemed to have been forcefully jolted back to reality and she felt the need to give him some distance to prevent falling headlong.With a determined exhale, Ariadne made a decision. She needed to give Denver his space. A

Chapter 22: Molly’s Boyfriend

Denver's eyes widened in surprise as he entered the restaurant, his gaze falling on a scene he hadn't expected. There she was, Ariadne, seated at a table with her roommates, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their dinner. His heart clenched at the sight, memories of their recent conversations flooding his mind.‘Why is she here? Didn’t she say that she was busy with schoolwork and can’t come out for dinner?’‘Or maybe she finished up earlier and decided to come out’Had she been lying to him? He had called her earlier, and she had declined his invitation, citing her schoolwork as the reason. And yet, here she was, seemingly carefree and engrossed in a meal with her friends. He felt a pang of confusion and hurt, wondering if she was intentionally avoiding him again.Denver hesitated near the entrance, his gaze fixed on Ariadne. He leaned against a wall at a distance, his mind wandering around with a mix of emotions glazing his face - confusion,

Chapter 23: Thank you… for everything

Ariadne's eyes widened in surprise, her grip on his hand tightening slightly. "What do you mean?” Her voice was fragile and shaky.Denver took a deep breath, raw hurt glittered in his deep blue eyes. "My father was involved in some illegal financial activities within the company. He manipulated reports and documents, bribing workers to make it seem like everything was legitimate. But it wasn't."Ariadne's brow furrowed in confusion. "But how does that relate to Molly's father?"Denver's eyes clung to hers, his gaze never wavering. "Molly's father was the company's financial officer. He was responsible for reviewing financial documents, including the ones my father manipulated. He had no idea what was going on, but when the plot failed, my father made him a scapegoat."Ariadne's eyes widened in shock, she surveyed him kindly to be sure he didn't break down. “So, you’re saying Molly's father went to prison for something he didn't do?"Denve

Chapter 24: Surprise

Ariadne hurried down the corridor of her department, a pile of textbooks in her arms. Her mind was preoccupied with the assignment she had to tackle in the library, so she barely registered the familiar voice calling her name until she heard it again, louder this time.“Ariadne…” She stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice calling out her name. Thinking that this voice was familiar, she turned around to see Arthur approaching her in a walk hop walk run manner, with a warm smile on his face. He was dressed in a casual button-down shirt and jeans, his usual friendly demeanor radiating from him.Hey,” she greeted, her lips curving into a smile despite her busy thoughts.“It’s really you. Thank God I found you, Ariadne…. I’ve been looking all over the department for you.” He said, panting heavily as he drew nearer and tried to hold her hand. “It’s been a long while, Arthur.” She said, flashing him a smile.Arthur strides beh

Chapter 25: Two Can Play The Game

For some odd reasons, Denver felt his body stiffen at this sight before him and his heart knotted in his chest. He felt restless and irritable, irked by the public display of youthful exuberance before him but he remained there, hardening his gaze on them.He couldn’t explain neither the complicated emotions welling up within him nor the strange contrition he felt in the pit of his stomach.After a while, his vexation got a better part of him and he immediately kicked the car into live and drove away without so much as taking a backward glance again.Arthur smiled to himself at his meticulous planning. At the beginning, he was willing to wait, wait till whenever she would be willing to accept him. But lately, he found her spending more time with another man whom he learnt to be called Denver.From their features, Arthur could pick out that Denver was at least more than five years older than Ariadne and after his investigation, he discovered that D

Chapter 26: An Audacious Girl

——— Back in her dorm ———Ariadne stared at the reflection of the sun rays on the floor of their dorm room, quietly reminiscing the events of the day. She kept biting on her fingernails in an attempt to keep herself composed and her mind alert. She lifted her hands for a few minutes and touched her face, palming her face in her hands and recalled the blush she felt earlier why stealing peeks at the angry or should I say a jealous Denver. This was surely not her first time experiencing a guy getting jealous of others because of her, but it was indeed the first time such behavior got to her and even warmed her up.“Seriously, Ariadne, you've got to spill the details!" Katniss exclaimed, her eyes practically sparkling with anticipation and she placed her long calloused fingers on the desk before her.Ariadne was greatly irked by their presence because she already knew that they were here to quiz her about the scene from earlier and possibly squeeze out ev

Chapter 27: A Notice Board Display

The classroom door swung open, and Ariadne stepped out with a wide grin on her face. She swung her arms sideways as she hip hopped along the classroom corridor, allowing the feeling of relief and accomplishment wash over her.It seemed to have just dawned on her that she had just finished her very first semester exams. She let out a delighted sigh, her eyes sparkling with happiness."Wow, that's it, huh? First semester, done!" Katniss exclaimed, mirroring Ariadne's enthusiasm while tugging at her sleeve excitedly. Ariadne nodded vigorously. "Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday we were getting lost on the campus trying to find our classrooms."Vanessa laughed. "True! And now here we are, seasoned university students who've survived their first round of exams." Tilting her head to one side, she stole a slanted look at Ariadne.Connie joined in the laughter. "And not just survived, but conquered! I mean, we've all been studying

Chapter 28: A Dramatic Entrance

Ariadne nodded perfunctorily. Obviously, they’ve decided on her punishment which was probably expulsion from school. It would have been fine if it was just examination malpractice, she would get a suspension at most. But an accusation of stealing examination question papers before the exam date will get her expelled for sure.‘Wait… did he just say it has been confirmed? Which means they already have the evidence of my supposed crime or a witness? But how?’‘And he said something about me gathering proof of my innocence. If they had actually set me up or if they could gather evidence or witness for a crime I didn’t know I committed, then where can I possibly find the proof to debunk them? And they act like they’re giving me a chance to defend myself? He just wants to be able to crucify me while keeping his hands clean, so that nobody will judge him for this.’Thinking about this, heat surged up to her chest and her sweats which had gathered to her forehead

Chapter 29: An Acclaimed Witness

“No… I….. uhh,” he began. “Wait… what are you talking about? What do you mean by how do I know? And what is the vice chancellor supposed to tell Caspian? Did anything happen to you?” He added almost immediately, pulling the car to a stop by the roadside before turning to face her. “Did you have trouble at school?”Ariadne realized that he wasn’t here for this issue, but it was already late! She gritted her teeth in fright and panicked, while contemplating on what to do now.“You better start spilling the details now! Fast!! Before I put a call to Caspian so he will fish out that information himself!”Ariadne cast a cold glance at Denver and she thought she detected laughter in those deep blue eyes of his.‘Why mention Caspian again now?’She hated it anytime Denver threatened her with Caspian. Telling things to Caspian is far worse than broadcasting her information. She thought that he was such a tattletale. Moreover, Denver men

Chapter 30: Confrontation

Ariadne was beyond shocked when she saw Connie in the video. She tried to convince herself that maybe it was just a coincidence that she was caught in the video. But when she continued watching the video till it got to the end, her feet went cold and her jaw dropped.‘Why? What did I do wrong to her? Why would she go to such an extent to destroy me? Are we not the best of roommates?’Multiple questions raced through her mind as she sat there, staring in oblivion. She kept trying to imagine different reasons why Connie would act so vile towards her but she couldn’t place her hands on any. Unlike Katniss and Vanessa who were like an open book, Connie was the quiet girl in the group. It was understandable that she kept her issues to herself and not sharing with them like the rest of the girls do, because they believe that’s her being a nerd. ‘So is this why she doesn’t share her thoughts with anyone? Was I wrong about thinking of her as a friend in
