There is an unspoken rule every student must know in Rosalie academy: ❝Never mess with an Adonis❞.
The adonises are on the top of the food chain. They have power, luxuries and a trail of broken hearts behind of wherever they go.
Eighteen year old Irene Curtis had no intention to be involved with the adonises until a certain event where she caught all three's attention and definitely not in a good way.
From then on, the adonises are out to break her.

❝I'm not stupid Curtis, not like my brothers, and you know full well that I won't ever fall into your trap,❞ Lucas brought his lips to her ears then whispered in his huskey voice, causing her to cold-sweat in fear.
❝Then what are you going to do? There's no way for me to undo it,❞ Irene sheepishly admitted to him, making sure to avoid eye contact because she knew after one look, she's over.
Lucas stared at her in silence, seeming to be thinking. ❝Use me then,❞ he said unexpectedly, ❝and in return, you're mine to play with.❞
