A Dark WLW Romance
Nova's POV
She wanted to be left alone.
Too bad I found her first.
Athos Ricci is cold, brilliant, and emotionally untouchable - the kind of girl who builds her own walls and lives quietly behind them. But walls mean nothing when someone like me is watching from the shadows.
I know her routines. I know her expressions. I know exactly how to get under her skin.
I've followed her for months. And now?
It's time she meets me.
I don't want her love. I want her obedience. Her attention. Her pain. Her everything.
Even if she fights me - even if she runs - she'll learn the truth:
She's mine.
Whether she wants to or not.
Athos' POV
My world is quiet, calculated, and tightly controlled - just how I like it.
Until she walked in.
She's all smiles and stillness. Soft words and sharp eyes.
A stranger who knows my name. My favorite coffee. My apartment number.
She doesn't pretend not to be watching me - she wants me to know.
At first, I thought I could ignore her.
Then I tried to fight her.
But it's hard to run when your predator is beautiful... and patient.
She doesn't want my love. She wants my surrender.
And I'm terrified I might give it to her.
Because the truth is:
No one's ever seen me the way she does.
And no one's ever made me feel this alive.
Even if it kills me...
I think I'm starting to want to be hers.
What happens when an obsessive teacher such as Nova Knox, meets someone quiet, closed off girl such as Athos Ricci?
