Academic Rivalry

At Aurelia Heights Academy, where prestige is everything and competition runs hotter than the midday sun, Ashra Celestè and Alexander Salvatore are the school's most brilliant- and most infamous-rivals. She's the newly appointed secretary; he's the untouchable school president. On paper, they clash. In person, they bicker. And behind closed doors... they're something no one would ever suspect.

A secret couple.

Their stolen glances in meetings, their sharp-edged banter in class-everything is a carefully maintained façade. No one can know, not yet. Not when the entire academy expects perfection from both of them.

But one ordinary morning turns dangerous when Ashra's phone buzzes as she walks down the hallway.
A message.
From him.

Come to my office, now.

Her heart stutters, not from fear-but from the thrill of knowing exactly who's waiting behind that door.

And what rules they're about to break next.
