The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Misunderstandings.

The school day was almost over.

Zayden sat in the classroom, staring out the window..

We always had the heaviest workload–and the latest dismissal. The other classes had been out nearly twenty minutes

ago

Noticing Zayden still looking outside, Naomi leaned over and asked, “Zayden, are you looking for Eliza?”

No, Zayden replied flatly, turning his gaze away. Why would I be watching Eliza?

Naomi smiled like she hadn’t noticed the tension. “No need to keep looking–Eliza’s not going home anymore.”

Zayden’s band froze around his pen. “She’s moving into the dorms?”

“Yep. Naomi nodded. “I don’t know what’s gotten into her. Maybe she’s dating someone? Why else would she suddenly decide to stay on campus?”

Dating… The image of Eliza and Nolan slipping into that empty classroom flashed through Zayden’s mind. No wonder she’s been acting so distant lately. She’s moved on.

A heavy pressure settled in his chest.

He should’ve seen it coming.

Eliza hadn’t followed him around at all these past few days, and out of nowhere, she requested a transfer to Class Six. They maste been seeing each other for a while now. Now she was suddenly living on campus!

“Zayden? You okay?” Naomi asked, feigning concern.

“What else did she say?”

Naomi shook her head. “Not much. She just told me to let our parents know she’s moved into the dorms and won’t be coming home,”

Before she could finish. Zayden was already on his feet.

Startled. Naomi jumped up too. Zayden! Where are you going?”

Everyone in the room turned to look

The teacher slammed a hand on the desk. “Naomi! Sit down.”

She froze, then quietly returned to her seat, cheeks burning.

The teacher glanced at the clock and said, “Zayden already finished his test. If you haven’t, keep working”

Everyone immediately looked back down at their desks,

Out in the hallway-

Zayden strode straight to the Class Six door.

His voice was low and tense “You and Nolan–how far has it gone?”

“T’m asking you—how far have things gone between you two?” Zayden repeated, barely holding back his anger, veins rising at

“Are you serious right now?” Eliza frowned. “Don’t you think this is my business? You don’t get to question me like this.

“If you’ve already picked Nolan, then why are you still holding on to our engagement? Zayden stepped closer, his voice turning colder with every word. “Or are you just playing both sides–trying to figure out who’s the better option?”

Zayden!” Eliza’s voice sharpened. “I never agreed to marry you. That engagement was something the adults decided when we were kids. You even said it yourself–it doesn’t count.”
