Offlimits at Blackthorn
Scholarship student Zara Corven came to Blackthorn University for a fresh start, desperate to escape a scandal that nearly destroyed her life. But Blackthorn is ruled by the untouchable elite, and Zara is an outsider until Damon Thorne, the school’s golden boy, suddenly claims her as his own. He drags her into a fake relationship, promising to protect her secrets in exchange for her playing the perfect girlfriend.
The arrangement comes with one condition: stay away from Kai Ryder.
Kai is Zara’s academic rival, the boy who seemed determined to make her life hell. Yet, between heated arguments and late night conversations, Zara sees the broken boy behind the arrogance. The night he cries in front of her is the night she realizes she’s falling for him. But the arrival of Elias, her long lost best friend who confesses his love, complicates everything. After a blurred night at a party, Elias is forced to watch Zara stand beside Damon the brother he has always hated.
Jealousy turns love dark. Soon, the video Zara tried to bury is leaked to the entire university by the person she trusted most. Her reputation is ruined, but instead of ending the fake ruse with Damon, Zara stays—this time, to make Kai jealous.
Just as Zara finally chooses the boy she truly loves, her life shatters. A sudden illness wipes her memory, leaving her with only one "fact": She is Damon Thorne’s girlfriend. She forgets the betrayal, the secrets, and the boy she gave her heart to. When the truth finally resurfaces, who will she choose?

Chapter: What I should have doneDAMON Seven minutes.That was the rule.That was the expectation.That was what everyone outside that door was waiting for.And yet...I hadn’t moved.Chloe leaned back against the wall, watching me like she was trying to figure me out.“You’re seriously going to waste this?” she asked, folding her arms.I let out a quiet breath, dragging a hand through my hair. “Depends on what you call a waste.”Her lips curved slightly. “Most guys wouldn’t hesitate.”“Most guys aren’t me.”She hummed, pushing off the wall and stepping closer anyway. Confident. Calculated. Used to getting what she wanted.Her hand brushed my chest again, slower this time.Testing.Waiting for a reaction. There wasn’t one. Not the one she expected, at least. Because my head wasn’t here. It was outside. With her. Zara.The way she looked at me when she walked in.The way her expression shifted when she saw Chloe standing too close. The way she turned away like it didn’t matter... Except it did. I saw it.“You’re thin

Chapter: Seven Minutes of ChaosThe energy in the room shifted the second Cameron took control. It wasn’t just excitement anymore. It was anticipation. Danger. Mess waiting to happen. People moved closer, forming a tight circle around him, drinks in hand, eyes sharp with curiosity and hunger for entertainment. “This,” Cameron grinned, raising his glass, “is where the real party starts.” Cheers erupted. Loud. Wild. Uncontrolled. I stood between Elias and Avery, my pulse already too fast, my emotions still tangled from what I had seen at the bar. Damon. Her. That image refused to leave my head. “Relax,” Avery nudged me lightly. “It’s just a game.” “No game here is ever just a game,” Elias muttered under his breath. And something about the way he said it made me believe him. “Alright,” Cameron continued, scanning the crowd. “Let’s start easy.” His gaze landed on Tony, he signaled him to start. Of course it did. Then Tony... “Avery,” he pointed. “Truth or dare?” She didn’t even h

Chapter: The Forbidden ClubBy the time night fell, I was already regretting saying yes.Not because I didn’t want to go.But because I didn’t understand what I had agreed to.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection like I was trying to recognize the girl looking back at me.This wasn’t me.Or maybe…It was a version of me I hadn’t allowed myself to be before.“Okay,” Avery’s voice came from behind me, sharp and amused. “You’re definitely not dressing like you’re going to sleep.”I froze slightly.I turned slowly. “I was just...”“Don’t,” she cut in, walking closer, arms crossed, eyes scanning me. “I know that look.”“What look?”“The ‘I’m about to do something reckless’ look.”I let out a small breath. “It’s not reckless.”“It’s always reckless when Damon Thorne is involved.”That made my heart skip.Annoying.“You know about that?” I asked.Avery snorted. “Zara, this is Blackthorn. Everyone knows everything.”That wasn’t comforting.“At least tell me where you’re going,” she added.I hesitated

Chapter: Dangerous gravityI woke up famous.Not the good kind.Not the kind where people admire you.The kind where people watch you.Every move. Every step. Every breath.Because by the time I stepped out of my dorm that morning, my name wasn’t just Zara Corven anymore.It was Zara Corven-Damon Thorne’s girlfriend just like the other day.And apparently…That meant something at Blackthorn.A lot.The stares started before I even made it down the hallway.Doors cracked open just a little wider. Conversations paused mid sentence. Phones tilted slightly in my direction like I wouldn’t notice.I noticed.I noticed everything.“Is that her?”“That was fast…”“She doesn’t look like his type.”I kept walking. Head high. Steps steady. Like I hadn’t heard a single word. Like I wasn’t one wrong whisper away from my past catching up to me again.Because that was the problem. It wasn’t just attention.It was dangerous attention.And Damon?He didn’t just attract it. He controlled it. Which meant...Now I was standing rig

Chapter: First Day As His Fake Girlfriend.Being Damon Thorne’s “girlfriend” lasted exactly three hours before I realized something important.Blackthorn didn’t just notice things.It fed on them. Every hallway I walked through, every class I entered, eyes followed me, whispers trailing behind like shadows.That’s her.Damon’s girlfriend.The scholarship girl.I kept my head down, gripping my books tighter.Invisible. That was the plan. Now?I was the topic.And I hated it.“Hey.”I looked up instantly.Elias.Relief hit before I could stop it.“Hey,” I said, my shoulders easing slightly.He studied me for a second. “You okay?”I hesitated, then nodded. “Just… adjusting.”He didn’t look convinced, but he let it go. “Come on. We’ve got that assignment.”Normal.I needed normal.We settled in the library, papers spread between us. Quiet. Focused.“This question is straightforward,” Elias said, pointing at the text. “You’re overcomplicating it.”“I’m not overcomplicating it,” I replied, already flipping to another page. “I’m ques

Chapter: ClaimedI didn’t sleep.Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, it replayed.Kai’s kiss.Damon’s voice.I know your secret, Zara.By morning, my head was pounding and my chest felt too tight for my own body.And the worst part?I had agreed.A fake relationship.With Damon Thorne.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, brushing my hair slowly, like if I moved too fast everything would fall apart.“What kind of first day turns into this?” I muttered.“A fun one,” Avery’s voice came from behind me.I glanced at her through the mirror. She was sprawled across her bed, scrolling through her phone like nothing in the world could shake her.“I’m serious,” I said. “I think I made a mistake.”She sat up instantly, eyes lighting with interest. “Oh? Is this about last night? Because I heard things.”My stomach dropped. “What things?”A slow grin spread across her face. “That you kissed Kai Ryder.”Heat rushed to my face. “It was a dare.” "And you were there."“Mmm,” she hummed. “And then Damon dragg
