Three years. Two academics. One rivalry. 

She's the tempest, he's the calm of the seas. Maven Laurentis, a bright student of the law, had her life written in the stars. Ready to conquer the world and graduate college with flying colors, she was a genius with a cold heart of steel.

Not until war suddenly breaks out between two families, and she's suddenly pulled into a deal with her greatest enemy. Her undefeated opponent. Her impossible match. 

The man of a fleeting curse. 

William Lanvin thought he'd never see her again, but now that she was here, he's never letting go. He'll have her, whatever it takes

He's the bane of her existence. 
She's the elusive woman he'll never catch. 

Let the chaos commence.

They're paired up for a mandatory communications course-and their grade depends on it. But the longer they're stuck together, the more the line between hatred and heat starts to blur.

Chase the Villian by avni_18
29 parts Ongoing
Two childhood friends. One turned golden boy loved by all, shining on the court and in the classroom. The other became a shadow dangerous, sharp-edged, and unapologetically cruel. Years later, college brings them back into each other's orbit. But nothing is the same. Not the stolen glances, not the late-night silences, and definitely not the way one of them now feels like the beginning of a war. What begins as a slow unraveling soon spirals into something darker. Secrets claw their way to the surface. Loyalty turns to obsession. Love becomes a game of power, punishment, and possession. This isn't a story of soft touches or sweet confessions. It's about chasing the villain, even when you know he'll ruin you. Especially when you want him to. Some stories aren't written to be safe. Some are written to hurt and still, you beg for more.
