LEAH

The moment Zach shifted the car into park near the main entrance of the academy, I reached for the door handle, desperate to unbuckle my seatbelt and step out onto the pavement.

Before my boots could touch the asphalt, an iron grip clamped around my wrist. I froze, turning my head back toward the driver's seat.

"Aren't you going to lead me in?" Zach asked, his voice laced with a subtle, challenging edge as he held my arm in place.

I glared down at his hand until he loosened his fingers, sn

    LEAHAsher slammed his foot down on the gas pedal, and the sports car shot forward like a bullet down the open road. The wind roared past the open windows, whipping my hair wildly around my face as the trees blurred into green streaks. A loud, high-pitched scream of pure delight tore from my throat, my hands clutching the leather edge of the dashboard.Asher glanced over at me, a confident smirk curving his lips as he gripped the steering wheel with one hand. "Hold tight, princess!"We zoomed around corner after corner, tires screeching against the hot asphalt as he navigated every street like he owned the entire city. The weight that had been pressing on my chest for the past three days completely evaporated into the rushing wind. Finally, he pulled the car smoothly into the parking lot of a quiet restaurant, turning off the ignition.We unbuckled and walked inside together, sliding into a cozy booth near the back. The waiter brought over a spread of food, and the mouth-watering scen

    ASHERWithout taking my eyes off Leah, I spoke flatly to the girl hovering over my desk. "I'm busy."Abby’s jaw dropped in disbelief, her posture instantly going rigid as her tone spiked into annoyance. "Excuse me?""You're excused," I replied coldly, waving a dismissive hand in her direction before turning all my attention straight back to Leah.Leah was staring fixedly down at her lap, her breathing shallow and her small shoulders pulled tight in obvious distress. I leaned deeper into her space, my voice dropping into a firm murmur. "Stop avoiding me, Leah. Whatever is between us... it's real. I know you saw me with Abby at the mansion, but that was all for my father's sake. None of it meant a single thing to me."Abby let out a hysterical gasp, stepping right between our desks with her arms crossed tightly over her chest. "Are you completely out of your mind, Asher?!"The legs of my chair scraped loudly against the linoleum floor as I stood up abruptly, my tall frame instantly towe

    LEAHThe entire weekend was just me avoiding Asher. Every single time his shadow crossed a hallway or his footsteps echoed outside my door, I hid. When I walked down to the dining room this morning and saw him sitting at the long table, his dark eyes instantly snapping up to meet mine, I turned right around without taking a single bite and retreated straight back to my bedroom.Whenever I wasn't locked inside those four walls, I spent my hours over at Emilia’s house. I practically lived on her couch, hiding out until the sun went down."You can't avoid Asher forever, Leah," Emilia had told me as she handed me a glass of water, watching me pace around her living room.I had stayed completely silent, biting my tongue until it bled. I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth—that my mother had caught us red-handed, that she had threatened to ship me off to my father, and that she had explicitly warned me to stay far away from him.Now today was Monday.I quickly dressed up, pulling on

    LEAHI reached the landing of the grand staircase, resting my hand lightly against the cold banister as I began my descent. My feet froze mid-step, my heart slamming into my throat.Down in the foyer, Asher was standing right by the archway. And attached directly to his arm, leaning into his side with familiarity, was Abby.Panic surged through my chest. I immediately drew my foot back, spinning around on my heels and tiptoeing back up the stairs as quietly as I could. The cold marble felt slippery under my socks, my breath catching in my windpipe. Abby could not see me here. If she caught even a glimpse of my shadow in this mansion, every piece of dark tea would be spilled across the entire school before the sun set. My whole life would be completely exposed.I pressed my back against the wall at the top of the stairs, peeking carefully around the corner. Abby was clinging to Asher’s arm with both hands, her head tilted up toward him, her laugh echoing softly through the hallway. My

    ASHERI gripped fistfuls of my own hair, pulling hard enough to make my scalp burn as I paced the length of my bedroom. "Fuck," I hissed under my breath, the sound tearing violently from my throat as I stopped to stare blankly at the wall.A sharp knock suddenly echoed against my door.My jaw clamped shut. I dropped my hands to my sides, marching over to the door and pulling it open.Abby stood casually in the hallway, a perfectly practiced and polished smile painted across her face.My eyes darted past her, scanning the empty corridor before snapping back to her face. "What are you doing here?"She offered a delicate, dismissive shrug of her shoulders, leaning against the doorframe like she owned the place. "My dad is here. Turns out he has an urgent business meeting with your father... so, naturally, I tagged along."Another quiet, vicious curse slipped through my teeth. I stepped back, blocking her path into the room with my body. "Give me a minute while I change."Instead of waiti

    LEAH"Mom?" I stammered, my voice cracking as I scrambled off the bed, my hands trembling violently while I smoothed down the wrinkled hem of my shirt. "What’s—what are you doing here?"My mother’s eyes were wide with pure horror, her gaze darting frantically between Asher and me like she couldn't process the sight before her. She pressed a trembling hand against her chest, her breathing shallow and ragged. "Tell me I'm seeing things," she whispered, her voice shaking. "Tell me this isn't real.""Mom..." I stepped forward, reaching my hands out toward her.Asher slowly slid off the mattress, stepping up beside me. His face was entirely calm, his voice steady as he held his hand out in a placating gesture. "Calm down.""Calm down?!" My mother snapped, her tone exploding into a sharp, hysterical rage that echoed off the high ceiling of the bedroom. "How can I possibly calm down after what I just witnessed?!"I swallowed the hard lump in my throat, forcing my voice to stay even. "Mom, it
