LOGINFrom the ashes of a shattered life, Nicholas Cooper, once the embodiment of popularity, finds himself confined to a wheelchair, his world forever changed by a tragic accident. Transferred to Westview High School, he becomes the target of Andrew West, the ruthless leader of "The Bloodline," a bully group. Andrew West is the school’s feared and admired golden boy with secrets of his own. But everything starts to shift the day Nicholas catches a glimpse of Andrew's hidden life—and sketches it. What begins as a twisted game of power, pride, and revenge spirals into something neither of them expected: connection. Real, raw, and terrifying. As secrets are revealed and emotions ignite, a forbidden bond forms between the bullied and the bully. But in a world fueled by lies, pain, and dangerous debts, love might not be enough to save them. He was supposed to break him. Instead, he fell for him. But when the truth comes out, will love be enough—or will it drown them both?

But now, that sound, faint and distant as it was, was the only thing keeping me going in here.I don’t know where the voice is coming from, but it can’t really be my dad. He’s dead.I’ve been in this dark place for what feels like forever, and I don’t even know how I got here. The last thing I remember was falling down the stairs. Then—nothing. Just darkness. A darkness I can’t escape, not in my mind, not in my body.Sometimes, I close my eyes, trying to find a trace of light within me. But how can I find light in a mind that’s already broken? My thoughts twist endlessly, looping through the shadows.“Nicholas,” the voice called again—closer this time. It felt like it came from inside my head.And suddenly, I was there—back in the mansion I grew up in.I don’t know why, of all places, I ended up here. Since arriving, I’ve stayed locked in
It’s been three weeks since the incident, and still… nothing.No movement. No sign. Just the quiet hum of machines and the weight of silence pressing down on everything. Each day bleeds into the next, and everything feels harder without him.I’ve always known a day like that would come. A day when Nicholas would find out the truth. But I never imagined it would happen like this. I thought I would be the one to tell him, to look him in the eyes and explain everything, to prepare him for it gently. Not like that—through chaos, through pain, through blood. I was wrong. So wrong.School has become unbearable. Every hallway feels narrower, every breath shorter. The walls seem to close in on me, and the whispers… God, the whispers never stop. Pity. Fear. Judgment. I see it in their eyes—some look at me like I’m cursed, others like I’m broken. Maybe I am. Maybe losing him cracked something inside me that can’t be fixed.Being around the bloodline feels strange now. I thought they’d confront
Kiara sat stiffly across from her lawyer, hands knotted together on her lap, her nails biting into her palms. She hadn’t slept in days, not since Lily filed the custody papers.The man before her—Mr. Jacobs, a calm-faced attorney with years of experience in family law—adjusted his glasses and leaned forward. “Mrs. Copper, I’ve gone through everything,” he said. “Lily has a very strong case. She’s the biological mother, and from a legal standpoint, that gives her the upper hand. And with everything that has happened to Nicholas, the trauma, the accident, it isn't looking too good for you.”Kiara’s jaw tightened. “But I raised him and my ex-husband is his biological father. That has to be something. I was there when Lily wasn’t. She walked away from him, Jacob. She—she gave him up.”“I understand,” he said softly, “but the law won’t see it that way unless Nicholas himself does. The only real game we can play here—the only chance you have—is to involve Nicholas directly.”Kiara frowned.
My trip from London to Texas didn’t take so long. Immediately I arrived, I was driven straight to Andrew’s home to apologize.When I got there, I knocked on the door, but there was no reply. Instead, I met Steve.“Hi Steve, where’s Andrew?” I asked. He could probably see how awkward I felt asking about his cousin.“Nicholas, you don’t have to feel weird, okay?” Steve said. “Yeah, I mean, it’s weird that my cousin Andrew is, you know, bi. But you’re cool. We’re cool. We haven’t had that talk before, but I’m telling you now.”“Okay… so where is he?”“He went to a party. He was pissed this morning, then he went to hang out with the Bloodlines.”“He was that pissed?”“Yeah, dude was, oof. And yeah, I think it’s at Dave’s party. I’m heading there right now — you could just tag along with me.”“Oh. Yeah,” I said.“Bro, Cilia’s gonna be stunned that you’re back this early.”“Cilia? Seriously? You guys have spoken about me?”“Uh—oh shit. You’re not supposed to know that. But you guys should f
