Chapter 246 - 245- You moved on?
Adrian hadn’t expected it.
And truthfully, he hadn’t hoped for it either.
Sarah Clark Boridicus recognizing him? No—he would’ve preferred anything but that.
Their past wasn’t something he cherished. In fact, throughout his entire time at the academy, he had done nothing but avoid her. Ignore her. Pretend she didn’t exist.
She was a nightmare for someone like him—someone who wore fake bravado like armor and believed he ruled the world.
Before joining the academy, Adrian had been bold. Reckless. He’d won a few street fights, earned a little reputation, and as the Count’s son, he’d let it all get to his head. He thought he’d walk through the academy gates like royalty—charming the girls, commanding respect, and becoming the center of attention.
But reality had other plans.
Instead of becoming the prince of the academy, he caught the eye of a shark.
Sarah already had influence. She was respected—feared, even. And in his foolish attempt to stand out, Adrian had landed in her sights.
That was the beginning of the end.
He’d thought he was strong—until she proved just how wrong he was. Again and again, she crushed his pride, beat him down, and slowly broke that inflated ego of his. He became nothing more than her errand boy.
And every time he tried to resist—tried to stand up—she reminded him why she was destined to become the second strongest Warden.
