βͺ ASHLEY LEE
A witty, sharp-minded 21-year-old university student, her intelligence and quick thinking have earned her an assignment unlike any other-a covert mission to investigate a high-profile case entwined with money laundering, smuggling, and trafficking. Amidst this dangerous pursuit, she encounters the enigmatic Prof. Demon, Professor D'Souza-someone destined to be her absolute "not-so-favourite."
βΏ MRS. D'SOUZA
A 35-year-old university professor of unyielding rigor. Cold, detached, and unfazed by the world, her stoic demeanor alone could silence a room. Emotionless, calculating, and formidable-she is a force few dare confront.
β― PROLOGUE β―
In the bustling halls of academia, Ashley Lee walks with a secret. Posing as an ordinary student, she is, in truth, a covert agent tasked with unraveling the hidden darkness lurking within the university's archives. With a trusted friend at her side, she collects fragments of truth, each revelation drawing her closer to the heart of a conspiracy.
Yet the path is anything but simple. Enter Professor D'Souza-stern, intimidating, a wall of unyielding control. Their worlds collide: in classrooms, in corridors, in moments neither can predict. Two minds, two perspectives, clashing yet intertwined, as secrets, ambitions, and perhaps something far more fragile begin to weave together.
β· FOR LOVE, LIKE TRUTH, IS NEVER NEAT-IT IS ALWAYS, UNDENIABLY, MESSY.

"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon.
She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident.
I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God. I could feel those sharp, green eyes burning a hole right through my skull in the darkness. I held my breath and quickly hid behind the wall but it was too late. I was foolish. I should've ran away."

Grace Miller, a clumsy second-year psychology student, never expected to witness a murder-or to cross paths with Amy Carnell, a cold, powerful woman who never lets anyone in. They couldn't be more different.
But fate has a twisted way of pulling opposites together. What happens when light collides with shadow?
