Evelyn’s POVThe coldness of the hospital sheets was nothing compared to the weight in my chest. The blinding white ceiling was a poor replacement for the stars I used to love watching. And the silence around me? Deafening.I could hear them outside my door—nurses whispering, a trolley being pushed down the corridor, a faint ring of a phone somewhere down the hall. But none of it mattered.I was awake. Alive. And yet… I felt like I hadn’t fully returned. I tried to remember the last thing that happened to me. My eyes opened wide when I did. I should be dead but somehow I miraculously escaped. How come? My body still ached with an invisible pressure, like I’d been swimming through concrete for weeks. My fingers twitched against the sheets as I slowly curled and uncurled them, a grim reminder that I was still here. Still waiting.And Klaus hadn’t come.The one person who should have been here when I opened my eyes.I turned my head slightly, ignoring the dizziness that followed. On t

Klaus's pov As I walked out of the hospital, I could hear her sob and her words of regret. I clenched my hands and decided to pay Felix a visit. I knew I was not going to win the fight but I was going to throw every damn punch in his way. As I opened the exit game driving back towards the university ground. My phone pinged and I saw it was a message from Jordan. I was too angry to look it up. Too pissed to check what he has sent to me. A part of me wished I had given Evelyn the portion to drink. It was just Jordan's fingers but she was going to be stuck on a wheel chair for the rest of my life. I prayed silently for a mission that comes with a magical healing potion yet again. As I drove into the school compound, I saw a lot of students staring at their phones. They were bickering among themselves like one of the students was dead. But the fact was that the news about the accident and Evelyn becoming a cripple had spread like wildfire. I wonder who was able to pass the news of

Klaus’s pov I knew this was going to happen. I looked at the faces of the people seated and I knew all they wanted was to protect Felix. “ I know you are going to say this? If Felix didn't do it. Who did?” “Jerome did and he is dead.” The Dean said, looking at me. “ You have to let this go, Klaus. For your sake.” “ For my sake? You mean to tell me you know he crippled my girlfriend and I should sit back and do nothing about it?” I said in anger. As I barged out of the Dean's office, I could see some of the students waiting patiently at the door. Maybe they wanted to hear the truth about the school not supporting the weak or maybe they just wanted to confirm the fact that Felix was untouchable. I was losing the battle even before it started. It was only going to be a matter of time before Felix and Celine were released. “ I knew he couldn't win against the council.” “ He would have let it go.” “ Celine's father is a top notch official in the university grounds and not to mentio

Klaus’s POVThe campus never felt colder.Not because of the wind—it was sunny, almost mockingly warm—but because something inside me felt I was cheated and things were done wrongly. The weight that once crushed me now steadied me. Evelyn’s betrayal, Celine’s father’s slander, Felix’s smug victory—it had all bled out into one undeniable truth.Justice was dead.And I was done mourning.I didn’t go back to my dorm. I couldn’t. I didn’t go see Jordan or Ava either.Instead, I walked. Past the student garden. Past the sculpture of Chancellor Gregory that now looked more like a rotting monument than anything noble. The same place where I had walked up to her to ask her to be my date.That memory? Buried.I ended up at the North Annex—the part of the school where the elite clubs had their meetings. The future presidents. CEOs. Diplomats. Heirs. All of them shielded by legacy, money, and bloodlines.The same names on the target list.[System Activated: Facial Recognition Matching Target P
