Ryan Carter came to Arkwood University to escape his past especially Jake, the possessive ex who blurred every line between love and control. But his “fresh start” takes a messy turn when he clashes with Daniel Brooks: the cold, perfect, student body VP with too much power and zero patience for Ryan’s sharp tongue. They hate each other on sight. But hate has a way of burning too hot and the line between enemies and something else is thinner than either of them is ready for. What starts as tension becomes obsession. And when the past comes knocking, Ryan finds himself stuck between who he was, who he’s becoming, and a boy he never planned to want.

A Story That Doesn’t Belong To You Chapter 201
The night reeked of rust and rain.Steel groaned as Adrien pried open the side door of the derelict train station, its hinges crying out after years of neglect. The air was sharp with cold metal and wet dust the kind of emptiness that swallowed sound. Somewhere far beyond the cracked walls, the city hummed in restless ignorance.Ryan followed close behind, his flashlight cutting through the dark like a blade. The beam landed on the skeletal remains of old train cars hollow, stripped of color, their paint flaking like dead skin. “You sure this is where he’ll come?” he whispered.Adrien’s voice was low, steady. “He won’t resist.”The trap was elegant in its simplicity: a broadcast of fake intel about a “final handoff” of Viktor’s stolen evidence, planted in the same encrypted channels Viktor once used to bait his own victims. The digital trail led here the ghost station beneath the city’s oldest rail line.Adrien checked his watch. Midnight, exactly. “He’ll be on time.”Ryan studied him

The screen flickered as Ryan scrolled deeper into the “NOVAK” archive. Each folder opened another wound old surveillance footage, training simulations, files labeled Phase I Conditioning, Phase II: Repetition, Phase III: Replacement. Adrien’s name wasn’t just there it was everywhere.“Stop,” Adrien rasped, his voice shaking. “Turn it off.”Ryan hesitated. The last folder was timestamped five years ago. “Adrien, there’s one more”“Turn it off.” Adrien’s tone was sharp, desperate. His hands trembled as he stepped back from the screen, pacing the small safehouse room like a trapped animal. “He… he didn’t just train me. He built me.”Ryan stood, uncertain, his heart twisting at the sight. “You were a kid You didn’t know”Adrien slammed his fist into the wall. “That’s not an excuse! Every choice I made every move I thought was mine he was already there. Calculating. Predicting. Watching.” He let out a bitter laugh. “I was his prototype. His perfect little successor.”Ryan approached slowly

Adrien’s hands were already moving before Ryan could speak grabbing cables, reconnecting the power, forcing the broken workstation to life. Smoke rose from the shattered casing, but the screens flickered back on, one by one, stuttering to green.“He’s initiating the data release early,” Adrien muttered, voice clipped. “We have less than fifteen minutes before it goes global.”Ryan stood behind him, trying to keep up. The fractured glow from the monitors cast both of them in cold light, their reflections ghosted against the glass walls. “Fifteen minutes? Adrien the servers are gone. You smashed the CPU”“It doesn’t matter,” Adrien cut in. “He mirrored it. There’s still a remote key somewhere in the system.”His fingers flew across the keyboard, typing faster than Ryan could follow. The screen filled with encrypted scripts command lines buried under firewalls, a digital maze built by the same mind that built him.“Come on…” Adrien’s tone dropped to a growl. “Show me where you’re hiding

The glow from the monitors painted the room in cold blue light, slicing across Adrien’s sharp profile as he stared at the screen. Lines of encrypted data scrolled endlessly, each one a thread leading deeper into his web.Ryan sat beside him, the rhythm of keystrokes and quiet breathing the only sound. He’d been at this for hours, tracing every code variation Hale left behind ghosted breadcrumbs of a man too careful to leave a trail but desperate enough to try.“There,” Ryan murmured, leaning forward. “Port 6889. That’s where the data stream splits off. If Hale was sending something hidden, it’s buried there.”Adrien’s eyes flicked to him, admiration blending with exhaustion. “You caught that faster than I did.”Ryan allowed himself a small grin. “Guess I’m learning from the best.”Adrien didn’t answer, but his mouth curved slightly. Then, just as the code broke open, a new window flooded the screen a hidden folder./ScepterArchive_01/Adrien’s breath stilled. “That’s one of Viktor’s o

The air inside the new safehouse was heavy with static like the silence before a storm. Adrien hadn’t slept. He sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes locked on Hale’s encrypted drive looping the same corrupted data over and over Every attempt to decode it only deepened the digital noise.Ryan hovered

The rain had started again by the time they reached the outskirts of the city not the furious kind that soaked through everything, but a quiet drizzle that whispered across the empty roads. The hum of the engine filled the silence as Adrien steered the car through backstreets only someone like him

The safehouse had become something between a fortress and a home Morning light filtered through cracked blinds, catching dust in golden ribbons that cut through the air. For once, it was quite not the heavy kind of silence that came after gunfire, but something gentler. Temporary, fragile.Ryan wok

The safehouse was quiet too for what they’d just survived. The hum of the old refrigerator was the only sound breaking through the silence.Adrien sat on the edge of the couch shirt half-torn, streaks of blood drying along his ribs. His knuckles were raw, his breathing uneven Ryan crouched in front
