Outside Professor Michael’s office, a gathering of students had congregated, settling into the chairs that lined the hallway.
In this assembly of more than ten individuals, only a solitary girl was among them.
Engaged in earnest conversation, they all seemed preoccupied with the task of completing graduation forms.
The chairs on one side were all occupied, leaving only a small space where four students stood.
Among them was the sole girl, surrounded by three young men, two of whom positioned themselves in front of her.
She knew them, as she would engage in the conversation all the young gentleman were in. They were all of same age group.
This office space, which was shared by three different lecturers, was bustling with activity.
The graduating students were on the lookout for two specific lecturers, but the figure that approached them wasn’t one of them; she was there to meet Professor Michael.
Emerging from the far end of the long corridor, she began to catch the attention of those present one by one.
As she drew closer, all eyes were fixed upon her, following her every step. Front those she passed by to those seated outside other specific offices.
Her countenance remained composed as she navigated the corridor confidently, passing by both the seated and standing students, until she reached the door to Professor Michael’s office.
A tall young man, standing at a striking six feet, couldn’t conceal his surprise as he muttered, “Look at that ass!”
The hushed corridors suddenly fell into a profound silence, with everyone momentarily stunned by the unexpected comment.
It seemed as though all eyes had turned to scrutinize her posterior in response to the young man’s uncouth remark. And inwardly, they approved.
The young woman, who had been acutely aware of the gazes fixed upon her, the unusual hush that had fallen over the corridor, and the indecent comment, chose to look back.
She turned her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the onlookers, not singling out anyone in particular.
With a graceful but determined demeanor, she reached for the door and gave it a composed knock.
Inside, Professor Michael, unknowingly, awaited her arrival.
The day had stretched on interminably, a seemingly endless journey for Mr. Michael. Fatigue had begun to seep into his bones.
Charli’s self-destructive nature has finally caught up with her. Her knack for ruining relationships has made her notorious, and now, three men from her past — Matt, the bartender with a heart hardened by one too many of Charli’s games; Drew, the dealer whose business she’s jeopardized; and Jimmy, the apartment manager who can’t forget the chaos she brought — have united with a single grim purpose: to end her reign of disruption once and for all.
As the trio conspires under the cloak of darkness, their plans to eliminate Charli are met with unexpected twists. They are not the only ones trying to end her.
The line between hunter and hunted blurs.
Will the shadows claim Charli, or will she outsmart death itself?
