Mibfpavilion Stories

They are two chaotic souls who seem to have an endless supply of nonsense, so the question of what went wrong was never really the issue. The real question was whether anything right would happen... given that they always live in chaos.

Hayes Eston Ford loves being in control and is very discreet about making it his life mission. Not until a vicious woman appeared and decided to have him wrapped around her finger. The question is, would he break and lose? Or would he allow that for the first time in his life, someone holds him on a leash and takes control over him? His mind, his heart, his ability to wrestle, like a grasp of reins. VESTWOOD LAKE II

Desmond has never believed in luck. For him, everything has a consequence. Every choice can be calculated, every mistake has a price, and nothing is worth risking-especially money, his future, or his heart. Wayne believes the exact opposite. Charming, reckless, and infuriatingly confident, Wayne treats life like one long game of chance. Naturally, he and Desmond can't stand each other. They're academic rivals, classroom enemies, and the two people most likely to turn an ordinary discussion into a battlefield. Then their professor asks one question: "If you knew exactly when you were going to die, would you want to know?" What begins as a philosophical debate soon becomes a classroom betting game-with real money, ridiculous challenges, and increasingly personal stakes. Every week, Desmond and Wayne wager on everything from grades and secrets to love and death. But the more they bet, the more they discover about each other. Behind Wayne's reckless smile is a boy terrified of wasting the life he has left. Behind Desmond's perfect composure is someone desperately afraid of losing control. And somewhere between heated arguments, stolen glances, and bets neither of them should be making, their greatest rivalry begins to feel dangerously like attraction. Until one final bet changes everything: Who will be the first person in their classroom to die? Because some bets are about money. Some are about pride. And some are about the one thing neither Desmond nor Wayne can afford to lose- each other.
