8 parts Ongoing Alex is a girl who sees through the superficial playboys. She has little patience for men who don't take relationships seriously or who treat others as if they're part of a game. Alex values genuine connections and isn't swayed by a guy's looks or charm if there's no real substance behind it. She prefers honesty, integrity, and respect.
Then she met him.
Tyler charmed Alex with a single smile-a cocky, lopsided grin that somehow made her pulse quicken despite her better judgment. She didn't expect to be drawn to someone like him, the kind of guy she swore she'd never fall for: all smooth talk and no substance. But there was something about the way he carried himself, with effortless confidence and a magnetic energy that seemed to pull her in. He made her laugh in spite of herself, and when he looked at her, it felt like the rest of the world faded away.
At first, Alex told herself it was nothing more than a fleeting attraction, a momentary lapse in her otherwise discerning taste. But Tyler had a way of breaking down her walls. He wasn't just charming-he was persistent, finding little cracks in her defenses and slipping through before she even realized it. He made her feel seen, in a way that was both thrilling and terrifying.
