📌 SYNOPSIS - The Heir and the Heartbreaker
(• angsty • slow-burn • emotional)
Freen Sarocha Chankimha has everything - beauty that turns heads, kindness that softens even the coldest hearts, and a future carved in gold. Everyone wants her, everyone admires her, but no one has ever truly reached her. Freen doesn't date. Freen doesn't play. Freen believes in sincerity, in loyalty, in love that isn't a game.
Becky Rebecca Armstrong has never played by those rules.
Magnetic, breathtaking, and notoriously unattached, Becky turns romance into a pastime and heartbreak into second nature. She knows every trick, every flirtation, every escape route. Dating is easy. Feelings are not.
So when Becky is dared - challenged - to date the one girl who has never dated anyone, the one girl who seems untouchable... she accepts with a smirk.
But Freen surprises her.
What should have been a game becomes something genuine. Friendship grows where flirting was supposed to win. Softness forms where Becky never expected it. And for the first time in her life, Becky hides the truth - because losing the dare means nothing, but losing Freen would mean everything.
Until the day Freen overhears Becky and Nop talking.Until the day she learns she was meant to be a challenge.Until the day her gentle heart cracks quietly.
Becky apologizes - genuinely, desperately - and Freen forgives her, because Freen always forgives.But something in her shifts.Something silent.Something aching.
Because while Becky was learning how to be a friend...Freen was falling in love.
And when Becky starts dating Nop, blissfully unaware of the damage she's done, Freen does the one thing she's always done best:
She hides her pain.She smiles for Becky.She finds happiness in Becky's happiness, even as her own heart breaks.
A slow-burn of unspoken love, misplaced loyalty, and the kind of heartbreak that only happens when the right person comes at the wrong time.
"Stop it, Dax." I wouldn't meet his eyes, I couldn't. His hot breath trailed up my neck, his soft lips ghosting over the exposed flesh. He chuckled when my back arched involuntarily, my cheeks flaring hot and pink.
"It's Officer Rivera, to you." His deep voice rasped quietly in my ear. "Besides, you don't want me to stop, Princesa."
"If you don't stop, I'll-"
"You'll what?" He interrupted, smirking against my jawline. "Call the police?"
Jane Kingsley is a Veterinary Medicine major at the University of California-Davis. If she isn't at school, she's either working or lounging around the house she shares with her best friend, Vivian Tyler. Everything in Jane's life was getting back to normal, almost boringly average. But then Officer Daxon Rivera moves in next door. Flirty, sexy, and a total asshole: Officer Rivera is everything Jane wants to stay away from. But can she?
