Unrequitedhate Stories

🍃 Rye Adrien Navarro and Ashriel Mateo De Vera were raised to hate each other. Born into rival architectural dynasties torn apart by a scandalous betrayal-a stolen design, a public lawsuit, and a friendship shattered. Their names have always stood on opposite ends of every competition, every award, every whispered debate in the world of architecture. Thirteen years after their last encounter, fate throws them back together at the prestigious Salazar College of Architectural Design (SCAD). Now fourth-year students, they're forced to co-lead a year-long thesis project, an ambitious, sustainable community housing design that could launch their future or burn everything down. Refusing to work together would destroy their reputations. But working together? That might just destroy their walls. Rivalry isn't the only thing they've inherited. There's pain. Pride. And maybe-just maybe-something unfinished. Can two enemies rewrite a legacy built on resentment and rivalry? When blueprints are stained with blood and bitterness, can you still draw something beautiful? Can you build a future with someone whose name was written into your past like a scar?
