CHAPTER NINETY-TWO

The next few days felt like an impossible dance.

Carl had been avoiding her, keeping their interactions strictly professional. It was the only way to protect himself, he told himself. His entire mission had been built on a lie, a plan to destroy her — to take the inheritance that belonged to her father, to destroy the legacy of the family who had wronged his. He couldn’t let one kiss ruin everything.

But Emmy was impossible to ignore.

Every time he passed her in the hall, every time he heard her voice in class, he felt it — that pull. That magnetism. It was stronger than logic, stronger than reason, stronger than the resentment that simmered inside of him. She was beautiful, her every movement graceful yet charged with an energy that he couldn’t quite place. But it wasn’t just her appearance; it was the way she looked at him. The way she made him question everything.

So he kept his distance.

But Emmy wasn’t having it.

She was persistent. He had told himself that he wouldn’t let her co

    Theo stormed out of Carl’s office, his footsteps echoing down the empty hallway. Emmy, frozen in place, could still feel the warmth of his kiss lingering on her lips. Her heart raced, erratic, torn between confusion, guilt, and a fierce, undeniable desire for Carl. But Theo—her boyfriend—had just witnessed everything. The betrayal had cut through the air, sharp and final.“*Theo!*” she shouted, her voice trembling as she rushed after him. Her bare feet slapped against the cold tile floor as she closed the distance between them. “Please, wait! Let me explain!”But just as she reached him, Carl moved in front of her, his strong hand gripping her wrist, stopping her from running after Theo.“Emmy, no,” he said, his tone firm, but with a soft undercurrent she couldn’t ignore. His gaze flickered to where Theo had disappeared. “Let me handle this.”Her chest tightened. She wanted to scream, wanted to break free, but Carl’s hand on her wrist held her firmly in place. She looked up at him, a

    Carl Grayson had been avoiding Emmy for days now, a quiet storm of frustration brewing inside him. Each time he saw her, his mind felt like it was on fire. The chemistry between them had only intensified, and every moment they spent together seemed to pull him deeper into something he didn’t want. Something he couldn’t afford to feel. It was getting harder to ignore her—to push her away. His father’s death had always been the focal point of his mission, but now, with Emmy at the center of it, everything was spiraling out of his control. Carl had spent his whole life hiding from feelings, burying them under a veneer of detachment. But Emmy, with her fire, her passion, her vulnerability—she was undoing everything.She was more than just his target now. She was becoming his obsession.He had kissed her. He had touched her. And when he closed his eyes, he could still feel her—her skin against his, the heat between them, the taste of her lips. His pulse quickened at the thought, but he qu

    The lecture hall hummed with soft conversation as students filtered in, but Emmy's focus stayed locked on the man standing at the front. Professor Carl Grayson — in that black button-up with sleeves rolled, jaw set in a way that could cut through bone — was every bit the chaos she didn’t need.He didn’t look at her when she walked in.Not that she cared.Not that she noticed the slight twitch in his jaw as she passed.Not that her heart skipped.She slid into her seat, opened her laptop, and avoided looking at him.Carl turned from the whiteboard. “For next week, I want a reflective essay. But for a few of you…” — his eyes scanned the hall — “you’ll receive a private thesis assignment.”Emmy flinched.Of course, when the list appeared on the projector, her name was there — Emmy Langston Magnus.Her heart thudded.Later, when class ended and students shuffled out, she waited. She told herself it was to clarify the assignment, but when the last student left, her legs felt rooted. His of

    The air in the lecture hall thrummed with anticipation. Whispers bounced between students as they filed in—girls fixing their hair, boys straightening their backs, everyone buzzing about the new Literature professor.“He’s supposed to be British.”“No, American. Ivy League.”“Did you see the photo on the bulletin board? He’s hot.”Emmy Magnus rolled her eyes as she walked into the hall, notebook tucked under her arm. She had no patience for schoolgirl gossip—especially not about a professor. She was already irritated from her morning encounter with her friend. Hailey, her best friend, wouldn't just stop talking about her abusive boyfriend. Well she hoped he tripped on the way to whatever smug pedestal he stood on. Hailey would be free of him then.She chose a seat in the third row, center. Close enough to engage, far enough to avoid attention. As she settled in, her phone vibrated.A new professor.I hope he was an old man… someone between his 60’s. Someone not as arrogant and beautif

    PART TWOEMMY AND CARL'S STORY The first day of the new semester always smelled the same—old books, coffee, and too many dreams crushed under deadlines. Emmy Langston Magnus weaved through the familiar chaos of Lancaster University’s East Wing, clutching her tote bag like a lifeline. Her boots echoed sharply on the marble tiles, every step rushed. She was, unsurprisingly, late.Students flooded the halls—laughing, yawning, flirting, trying to pretend life wasn’t spinning too fast already. She didn’t have time for any of them. Her schedule had changed at the last minute, and now she had to sprint halfway across campus to a literature elective she didn’t even want to take. But it was either that or fail the credit requirement, and Emmy Langston Magnus didn’t fail anything. Not when her last name meant so much to so many.She rounded the corner at full speed and slammed—*hard*—into someone. Her bag slipped from her shoulder, her breath knocked out of her lungs.“Jesus, watch where you’r
