Leanne Elswood has spent her entire life surviving-moving from one foster home to another, invisible to the world except when she was being mocked. In a school where wealth meant power, she was the scholarship girl no one defended... except herself.
Caleb Thrift had everything, status, money, and influence,but behind closed doors, his life was hollow. Craving control and attention, he made Leanne his favorite target, pushing her to her limits,until she pushed back.
When she publicly humiliates him, Caleb retaliates in the cruelest way possible, shattering what little dignity she had left.
Years later, fate brings them together again at university. Determined to stay invisible, Leanne avoids him at all costs. But Caleb has other plans. Driven by ego and a reckless bet, he sets out to win her trust... and destroy her all over again.
But somewhere between lies and late-night confessions, something changes.
What begins as revenge turns into something dangerously real.
And when the truth comes out, it doesn't just break her....
It destroys them both.
"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams."
My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me.
"What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us.
"I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again.
"T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go."
"It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble."
I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker. I get nervous around him. I don't know what this feeling is but this feeling is different. A feeling that I have never felt for anyone.
"Understood?" he said again.
I nodded. "Yes Mr. Parker."
