College life Everyone says it's supposed to be the best years of your life-the time to chase dreams, discover yourself, and meet people who will change your world. But no one ever warns you about the things you don't expect to feel. The way your heart can trip over itself at the sight of someone. The way you can't control it, no matter how much you tell yourself not to. What if, one day, you find yourself falling for someone you know you shouldn't love? And what if-just when you're trying to hide those feelings-someone else steps into your life, someone who looks at you like you're more than ordinary, someone who makes you feel special in a way you've never felt before? College isn't just about lectures, exams, and late-night study sessions. It's about the people you meet, the moments you never expect, and the feelings you can't always explain. This is where it all begins. ------------------ Warning: ⚠️ this story I'm making has a 🔞

Married to her high school sweetheart, Tom, and devoted to her spirited five-year-old daughter, Sophie, Charlotte's life is a carefully curated picture of perfection. But beneath the surface, she's drowning in the weight of expectations and the quiet ache of unfulfilled dreams.

This was why she preferred fieldwork-less office time, fewer chances of running into Engfa. And just when she thought it couldn't get any worse- "CHARLOTTE, WHAT THE HELL?!" Patcha slammed her laptop shut and glared at her. "Why is your name trending on Twitter?" Charlotte blinked. "...Huh?" Lin cackled. "Oh, girl, you're in trouble. BIG trouble." Charlotte grabbed her phone, opened Twitter, and-oh. Oh, no. #JournalistExposed #GrandInsiderScandal There, clear as day, was a photo of her breaking into a restricted government building last night. Engfa finally spoke, voice cold and sharp. "Charlotte. My office. Now." Shit.
