"He was danger in disguise. She was the spark he never saw coming.

When shy, artistic transfer student Aera Valencia steps into Crestwood High, the last thing she expects is to catch the attention of the school's cruelest heartbreaker-Damian Ashbourne. He's rich, reckless, and rules the hallways with a smirk that hides scars no one dares to touch.

From day one, she becomes his new favorite game taunted, cornered, and claimed in ways that blur the line between hate and obsession. But as secrets unravel and masks start to slip, Aera realizes there's more to Damian than just venom in his words and fire in his eyes.

He wants her.
He'll break the world to keep her.
And he might just destroy her before she even understands what it means to be his.

In a school full of lies, power, and darkness... love might be the most dangerous game of all."



"What happens when the one person you should hate... is the only one who sees you?
Can love bloom in the shadows of obsession and pain?
And when secrets explode and loyalty is tested... will they survive each other, or burn trying?"

The only thing she feared was his intense obsession "𝐈𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐢'𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐛𝐜𝐨𝐳 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞." Xavier Knight doesn't feel. Not love. Not guilt. Not regret. Raised in a house that never wanted him, he learned early that silence is safer than emotion-and power is better than peace. Cecily Rosso was light, softness, everything he was never allowed to touch. Until one day, she disappeared. Torn from his world without warning, leaving behind only a fading memory and the sound of her cries as she was forced into a car. Years later, she returns-no longer the innocent girl, but a confident, untouchable woman with her own empire and her own rules. She doesn't remember the way his eyes followed her. But he never forgot her. And now that she's back in his city, Xavier won't watch from behind a window. This time, he'll own her light- or destroy it.

Every morning, Serenity shows up to the office before anyone else - including Ezra Langford, her infamously cold, calculating, and annoyingly attractive boss. She brings him coffee, not because he asks, but because she wants to - always with a handwritten quote on the cup, something cheesy, optimistic, and completely not his style. Or so she thinks. Because while Ezra never says thank you, never even cracks a smile... he's kept every single cup lid with her notes. Hidden in the bottom drawer of his desk, they're the only bright spot in his otherwise grayscale life. But when Serenity's warmth starts to get under his skin - and into his heart - he'll have to decide if he's brave enough to step out of hiding and tell her the truth: She's not just his coffee girl. She's the only reason he still believes in good things. »»-------¤-------«« "So, uh... any regrets on the merger yet?" "Only that Chase ordered shrimp from that place on 8th again." I laugh, too hard and too quickly. "You didn't like it?" "It tastes like regret." I grin. "That's what he said about your budgeting spreadsheet." Ezra's mouth twitches. Not a smile, not really. But close. I should say something professional. Something normal. Instead- "Do you really read them?" I ask softly. He looks up. "The quotes," I clarify, nervous now. "Do you actually read them, or... just collect them?" His eyes hold mine. There's no teasing in them. No cold, hard CEO mask. "I read them," he says. »»-------¤-------«« Word Count: 26, 074
