Dorm rules: Don't fall for your roommate.
One world, Two sworn enemies. Countless secrets laced with undeniable tension. Senior year was supposed to change my life—but then I got stuck with the one person who could either ruin my life for the worst or bring out a part of me I never knew existed, being the reason I’d never be the same again.
Jayden Sinclair.
Arrogant. Infuriating. Insufferably attractive. Everything about him gets under my skin, even the way he breathes, and now what? We have to be dorm mates.
Every argument felt like a battle. Every glance lasted a second too long. Somewhere between sarcasm, stolen moments, and secrets neither of us dared to confess, I made the biggest mistake of my life…
I fell for him.
Then he left.
No explanation. No goodbye. Just a broken promise and a heart I swore I’d never let him touch again.
Years later, fate throws us back into each other’s lives but not as roommates, but as business rivals. The hatred between us burns hotter than ever, but so does everything we never managed to bury.
They say first love never dies but I wish mine had.

Chapter: CHAPTER 57JAYDEN's POVThe shared room was an absolute disaster zone of since cardboard boxes, discarded bubble wrap, and empty coffee cups were literally covering the whole room. Graduation was literally hours away, but standing in the middle of our bedroom, watching Zander lean to pack his stuffs…..the last thing on my mind was the actual ceremony.Was it how his cropped top would raise to tease me whenever he raised his arms to carry the boxes? Or how his arms would flex as he struggled with the zipper of our suitcases? Leaving his dark hair falling messy into his eyes.“Oh God….give me the strength to overcome the urge to just pounce on him right here and then. Lock the bedroom door, and forget the entire university assembly and graduation.” I paused as I thought of how overwhelming it was.It was getting harder and harder to keep my hands to myself these days, especially with the raw, quiet certainty that had settled between us ever since that afternoon at his family’s home, carving our in

Chapter: CHAPTER 56ZANDER’s POVI slid my arm up his broad torso, my fingers resting gently over the steady, heavy beat of his heart as I pulled away from the hug.Jayden’s jaw was set tight, his dark eyes staring out the window at the afternoon. Even though we’d just spent the last few hours eating and talking about our new apartment, I could feel the invisible weight settling back onto his shoulders. Whatever shit was going on with him was really suffocating him in real time.“Hey.” I whispered softly, sliding my palm further up his chest until my hand rested against the warm side of his neck.Jayden blinked, coming back to reality. He looked down at me, his expression instantly softening as his hand came up to cover mine. “Yeah, art boy?”“Do you want to get out of the city for a bit?” I asked, searching his eyes. “Before we go back to campus for final evaluations and graduation.....I think you need to clear your thoughts. I want you to come home with me and spend the weekend. I want you to meet my m

Chapter: CHAPTER 55JAYDEN’s POV“Now.” I murmured smoothly, catching his lower lip between my teeth for a brief, sharp bite before sitting up. “What are we eating?”Zander leaned back on his elbows, a breathless, flushed smile lingering on his lips as he pretended to think about it. “I want something heavy? I’m thinking Chinese takeout.“Done.” I said, pulling my phone from my pocket and placing the order before setting my phone downWhile we waited for the food, the atmosphere of the room settled into a comfortable calm. I rested on my bean bag, pulling Zander back against my chest, resting my chin on his dark hair. But despite the warmth of his body against mine, my mind kept drifting back to the email sitting on my laptop in the other room.The phone I had just placed down, buzzed violently against the tiles.The screen displayed a contact name: “ESTATE COUNSEL.”I took a slow, heavy breath before picking it up, sliding the bar to answer, and pressing the device to my ear. “Talk to me.” I gave Zander

Chapter: CHAPTER 54JAYDEN’s POV“Hold on.” Zander grunted, my breathing still ragged as he lifted my head from the crook of my neck.The phone on the floor was vibrating incessantly, the sharp buzzing sound cutting through the thick, heavy tension lingering in the bedroom. Zander reached out with a trembling hand, grabbing the device and staring down at the glowing screen. His eyes widened and his flushed cheeks showing his cute dimples when he smiled slightly in surprise.“It's... it's my mom.” Zander breathed out, looking up at me through heavy, dark lashes.A slow, wicked smirk crept across my face. I shifted my weight, sitting back on my heels and extending an open palm toward him. “Give it to me.”Zander blinked, pulling the phone back slightly, his brow furrowing in instant suspicion. “What? Why? No Jayden, you're not—"“Let me talk to her.” I said smoothly, my voice now dripping with pure and unbothered confidence. “I told you I have a way with women. Let me show you how the charm works.”“Jayden

Chapter: CHAPTER 53ZANDER’s POVThe heat in the new apartment’s bedroom was suffocating and squirming like a desperate slut.Jayden had me pinned beneath him on the rugged floor, his broad shoulders blocking out the sunlight, his mouth moving against mine with an intensity that made my head spin. Every kiss was deep, needy, possessive, and heavy, his tongue pushing pass my lips and desire.He kept kissing me like I was his favorite meal, specially made to be devoured just by him alone.My hands held onto his shoulders, my fingers digging into the fabric of his shirt as his weight pressed down on me. I could feel the hard and throbbing outline of his groin rubbing firmly against mine through our jeans. The thought of him pounding into me sent a sharp hot pulse of desire that shot straight to my brain.He trailed his lips down my jaw, pressing harsh, lingering kisses against the shell of my ear, down the exposed length of my neck, and onto my collarbone, making me arch off the flow with a ragged moan.My

Chapter: CHAPTER 52JAYDEN’s POVI lay completely still, staring up at the ceiling with my fingers gently running through his soft hair. One of his arms was thrown over my waist, his face pressed into my chest, dark curls messily scattered across my collarbone.The threats from my father were still sitting at the back of my mind like a dark, suffocating storm waiting to swallow us whole. But looking down at Zander right now, listening to his soft breathing, all I could feel was warmth and peace of mind.“Zander.” I murmured softly, my hand sliding down to press gently into the small of his back. “Wake up, art boy.”Zander let out a small, quiet grumble, his fingers tightening in the fabric of my shirt as he pulled himself closer instead of opening his eyes. “Can’t you let me sleep for as long as I want?”A faint smirk touched my lips. “We have to go.”That made his long lashes finally flutter open. He blinked up at me through heavy, sleepy eyes, his brow furrowing slightly. “Go where? Classes don't start
