He Knew My Secret First
Ayla never expected that one night at her best friend’s house would change everything, until she came face to face with Jace, her best friend’s dangerously charming and notoriously reckless brother. She tells herself she can’t stand him—his playboy reputation, his endless games, teasing smirks, and the way he looks at her like she’s just an innocent girl playing in a world she doesn’t understand. But beneath the tension and constant clashes, there's something far more dangerous—an undeniable pull neither of them is ready to admit. Then, one reckless night at a party changes everything: lines are crossed, secrets are revealed, and suddenly, avoiding each other isn’t an option anymore. As guilt begins to weigh on Ayla and Jace starts to see her in a way he never has before, their connection deepens into something forbidden, intense, and impossible to ignore. Because if the truth were to come out, it wouldn’t just ruin them—it would destroy the one person they both cannot afford to lose.

Chapter: The JournalAyla didn’t touch her journal for the rest of the afternoon, not because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t, she sat on the bed where she’d left it, closed, silent but louder than anything else in the room.“Still writing everything down?”The words replayed in her head, over and over again, too casual, too sure, too specific. Ayla paced the room slowly, arms folded, trying to make sense of it. There were some things Ayla would never say out loud, not to Lina or to anyone, not even to herself—at least, not in a way that made them feel real because once something was said out loud, it changed and it became something you had to face, something you had to own and Ayla wasn’t ready for that, so instead, she wrote. Her journal sat exactly where she had left it, tucked beneath the loose wooden panel in her bag, hidden between her clothes like it was something fragile, she pulled it out and stared at the worn cover for a moment longer than necessary, her fingers traced th

Chapter: Good Girl, Bad HabitsJACEI shouldn’t have looked up, but I did and there she was, standing in the balcony like she was trying so hard not to been seen but I coukd see her perfectly. On her toes sge stood and her eyes, focused on somewhere that wasn't me— MJ. Of course, I mean it was MJ, he always had that effect on girls. He was calm, composed and east to like, the kind of guy people felt safe around, the complete opposite of me. I exhaled through my nose, slipping my hands into my pockets.“She’s staring,” MJ muttered beside me, low enough for only me to hear. I smirked slightly. “You’re used to that.”“Not like that,” he said, glancing at me briefly. “That’s not the usual ‘you’re attractive’ look.”I didn’t respond immediately, because he wasn’t wrong, the look on Ayla's face wasn't surface level, it was something deeper and quieter and for some reason, I didn't like it“Relax,” I said after a second, my voice casual “She’s basically family.” MJ hummed, unconvinced “Yeah,” he said slowly. “That doesn

Chapter: Too Easy To ReadJACEWoah, I never expected anyone to be down by this time, especially not Ayla and God has she grown into a woman, last time I was here she was just celebrating her 19th birthday and now she was 21 and a very hot one. She jad always been a very beautiful girl but I never stopped to look at her or observe her the way I did today because of the endless warnings from my sister, seeing her in those shorts and singlets that failed to leave out every detail of her luscious skin and body and her hair packed up just spiraled something in me but I couldn't let it show that I was absolutely mesmerised and in awe of how grown she'd become. I was older than Lina and Ayla with 3 years but I always felt like I was 27 because of the duties of the first son I had to put up with not a 24 year old boy who just wants to have fun and live out his life. “Are you just gonna stand there or are we gonna get to work” Cherry, the hottest girl in college right now said snapping me put of my thoughts and

Chapter: The Night That Started ItAYLA“Ugh”I grunted in frustration and exhaustion, where could it be? I thought to myself, Lina was going to be here in less than 20 minutes and I have looked everywhere for it, yet I can't find it.“Oh good gracious, not today”I said out loud, loud enough for granny to hear me and I heard her chuckle and I turned my head to see in her direction and snapped."What's funny, nan?”"Oh, nothing dearest, just that you really don't have to put up an act because you do not want to go over to Lina's. I told you, I'll be just fine without you, a weekend won't send meto the grave. I can manage on my own” grandma said laughing subtly "Haha, very funny nan, I know you can and I trust you will but I seriously can't find my plushie and I most definitely cannot leave without it." I said in defense.“Good gracious Ayla! You're 21 for crying out loud who needs plushies to sleep anyways” She said with her burning gaze from her beautiful brown eyes trailing my every movement"Well, I do" I snappe
