At an elite university where legacy, money, and secrets rule, a mafia heir and a scholarship student are forced to share a project - unaware that their families are sworn enemies. He was born into power. She was born into revenge. At Crimson Ivy University, love isn't forbidden - it's deadly. Arianna Vale came to Crimson Ivy University for one reason - to escape her past. Her father's arrest shattered her world, and the powerful DeLaurentis family made sure it stayed that way. All that she wants now is peace, graduation, and a quiet future far from the shadows of crime. Luca DeLaurentis has never been told "no." Heir to the most feared crime families in the city, he's sent to Crimson Ivy to polish his reputation. Cold, confident, and dangerously charming, he treats life like a game - until he meet the one girl who refuses to play. When they're forced to partner on a semester-long project, hate ignites first. But between late-night study sessions, veiled sessions, and secrets that could ruin them both; something far more dangerous starts to bloom. She shouldn't want him. He shouldn't need her. But in a world built on lies and loyalty, love must be their biggest betrayal.

"I've spent all of the love I gave, we were always a losing game." Calliope Whittmore never knew the feeling of true heartbreak until she was wrapped in the arms of her childhood best friend as they said their final goodbyes. It was a long and quiet hug, she could feel the boy shaking in her arms but she had to be strong for him. "You can do this, Peeta," she assured him, "I know it." They pulled from the hug, Calliope gently held his face as she wiped away Peeta's tears. "24 of us go in and only 1 comes out," his voice shook. "And that 1 will be you. I know it. I'm rooting for you, Peeta Mellark." Peeta Mellark X OC #3 in Peetamellark 01/01/25
