MasukDarcie Miller survives elite St. Jude’s Academy on sarcasm and invisibility, steering clear of golden quarterback Charles Sterling—her most ruthless tormentor. But when her father's bankruptcy hands everything to the Sterling family, Darcie faces a humiliating ultimatum: move into Charles's mansion as his live-in "academic handler" to keep him eligible for graduation. Now the girl who despises him holds his future in her hands, and the boy who shattered her reputation might be the only one who truly sees her. In a world of cold marble and buried secrets, hate is about to catch fire—and obsession could burn them both.
Lihat lebih banyakDarcie Dinner was awkward, suffocating silence and the atmosphere felt heavy with Arthur. I don't think I like him. He looked rude and had the same mindset as Mr Sterling. He can't even support Charles in his dream. He still moved in the same footsteps of his father which would make it norr difficult for Charles. I'm Charles only biggest supporter with maybe his fans at school. The clattering sound of plates and fork was the only sound in the middle of this awkward dinner. Charles literally played with his food. Arthur ate well. Eyes on his phone and laughing to some videos. Actually, this was my first time of having meal on the table with Charles. “What's wrong? You seem to be unhappy.” Arthur broke the silence. “Don't you like the food?”“I do.” He says without raising his head up. “Anyways…” He chugged up his drink. “Get prepared tomorrow. You're traveling and starting your internship.”Charles fork clattered against his plate. “Arthur, can we not?”My eyes flicked between the
DarcieCharles slumped on the chair, panting and breathing raspy. I got confused and almost scared at his unusual behavior. His shoulders trembled and he squeezed his eyes shut. “Charles, are you okay?” I tapped him, cupping both sides of his cheeks so he could look at me. But his eyes are tired, face weary. “Charles, please talk to me. What's going on?”All the anger and insults I wanted to pour on him had gotten washed away immediately. Then he grabbed onto my arms and pulled me closer, into a hug. I didn't move back or push him away. He sniffs. “Please don't tell anyone. I'm having a hard time right now. I am not okay. It's happened two or three times.”I listened carefully and patted his back. “I’m not telling anyone. Do you wanna talk about it?” I asked softly. He raked his hands through his hair aggressively. “The scouts are coming tomorrow. I feel nervous because of my father. Tomorrow is my big chance to get noticed by the scouts but I fear I might be a disappointment later
DarcieMy eyes widened in shock, but then a sky smile spread across my face. “Oh, yes. I wanna do it.”He smiled sheepishly as I walked towards him, swaying my hips. His smile grew wider sheepishly and just as he had pulled the pants down, almost taking off the boxers, I raised my hands and slapped him hard. He stumbled back on the couch..“What the–”My chest heaved in anger and satisfaction. “Let me tell you something. Just because we kissed twice doesn't mean I'll throw myself at you again. I'm not a puppet you can tell you blow you. Behave yourself Charles. We're different people from different worlds.”Before Charles could say anything, he collapsed back on the couch and passed out. I took a deep breath and relaxed. “Good. You're better off asleep.” I muttered and continued working. With renewed determination, I start to work. Sweeping dirt, putting everything back in the usual spot. The room had finally become spotless. Back to normal and I spilled lavender fragrance, leaving it
DarcieThe moment I had finished preparing the snacks, I angrily left them there. Music and voices had almost burst my eardrums. Peeping from the kitchen, I'm seeing a lot of classmates from school. All holding plastic cups. Girls in short dresses and all. I scoffed and used the back door to avoid eye to eye contact with them. But while trying to leave, I bumped into Sloane and her minions. Their lips were glittering red, skimpy clothes and styled hair. “Look who we have here. The nanny.” She turned to her friends who giggled. I sighed, just wanting to avoid her silly jokes and decided to use the normal path but they went after me. Before i could even dash upstairs, my escape was cut short. Fuck. Too short. Sloane had grabbed my hair and yanked me down. I yelled in pain and stumbled unto the marble floor. The music continued playing but the crowd's attention snapped at me. “The nanny's trying to crash the party.” She yelled, laughing. I curled my lips, sighing. “Just control yours
