LOGINAyla never expected that one night at her best friend’s house would change everything, until she came face to face with Jace, her best friend’s dangerously charming and notoriously reckless brother. She tells herself she can’t stand him—his playboy reputation, his endless games, teasing smirks, and the way he looks at her like she’s just an innocent girl playing in a world she doesn’t understand. But beneath the tension and constant clashes, there's something far more dangerous—an undeniable pull neither of them is ready to admit. Then, one reckless night at a party changes everything: lines are crossed, secrets are revealed, and suddenly, avoiding each other isn’t an option anymore. As guilt begins to weigh on Ayla and Jace starts to see her in a way he never has before, their connection deepens into something forbidden, intense, and impossible to ignore. Because if the truth were to come out, it wouldn’t just ruin them—it would destroy the one person they both cannot afford to lose.
View MoreAYLA I don’t cry, that’s the first thing I notice, when I get home, when I close the door, not even when I finally sit on my bed and stare at my journal like it’s something I don’t recognize anymore, nothing, no tears, no breakdown, just quiet and honestly that scares me more because I should be crying, I should feel overwhelmed, angry, hurt and I feel all of that but not loud, it’s controlled and cold like something inside me just shut off. I drop my bag beside me, leaning back against the wall as I stare up at the ceiling, my thoughts are there but they’re not running wild like they usually do, they’re clear, sharp, focused and all of them lead to the same thing……..I was stupid, not just careless, not just naive, stupid because I let him in, not fully or intentionally but enough for him to figure me out, enough for him to use it, enough for me to stand there last night and let everything happen like I didn’t know better, I let out a slow breath.“Never again,” I
AYLAI don’t turn around immediately, I can’t because if I do this becomes real and right now, there’s still a tiny part of me hoping I’m wrong and that this is some kind of misunderstanding, hoping that voice behind me doesn’t belong to the one person I don’t want it to belong to. But deep down?I already know.“You really don’t listen, do you?”My grip tightens around the journal, I slowly turn and there he is standing there like nothing’s wrong, like he didn’t just shatter the one boundary I never thought anyone would cross, my chest tightens not just with anger, betrayal.“You…” My voice comes out quieter than I expected. “You read it.” I said standing up from the bed walking slowly to him It’s not a question, the proof is literally in my hands and he doesn’t deny it, hoesn’t even try “Yeah,” he says simply like was nothing, like it didn’t matter and that hurts more than anything.“You had no right,” I say, my voice shaking now. “That was mine.”“I know.”“You know?” I let out a
AYLA It was another night of partying thanks to Lina but this time Jace was with us and somehow I ended up in a close space with him, I shouldn’t be standing this close to him but here I was and that was the first thought that hit me, not because he was doing anything wrong, but because his presence was making my body is react in different ways, my heartbeat feels too loud and fast like it was trying to keep up with something I don’t even understand.“You’re staring again,” he says.I blink. “I’m not.” I shot at him trying to sound unshaken by his presence “You are.”“I’m literally not.” and he tilts his head slightly, studying me like he always does, like he’s looking for something under the surface “You do this thing,” he says making my stomach tighten “What thing?”“You argue,” he says simply. “Even when you know I’m right.” and I let out a small, incredulous laugh. “That’s not true.”“It is.”“No, it’s not.”“See?”I hate that I almost smile and I hate it more that he notice
Ayla didn’t touch her journal for the rest of the afternoon, not because she didn’t want to, but because she couldn’t, she sat on the bed where she’d left it, closed, silent but louder than anything else in the room.“Still writing everything down?”The words replayed in her head, over and over again, too casual, too sure, too specific. Ayla paced the room slowly, arms folded, trying to make sense of it. There were some things Ayla would never say out loud, not to Lina or to anyone, not even to herself—at least, not in a way that made them feel real because once something was said out loud, it changed and it became something you had to face, something you had to own and Ayla wasn’t ready for that, so instead, she wrote. Her journal sat exactly where she had left it, tucked beneath the loose wooden panel in her bag, hidden between her clothes like it was something fragile, she pulled it out and stared at the worn cover for a moment longer than necessary, her fingers traced th
AYLA“Ugh”I grunted in frustration and exhaustion, where could it be? I thought to myself, Lina was going to be here in less than 20 minutes and I have looked everywhere for it, yet I can't find it.“Oh good gracious, not today”I said out loud, loud enough for granny to hear me and I heard her c
JACEI shouldn’t have looked up, but I did and there she was, standing in the balcony like she was trying so hard not to been seen but I coukd see her perfectly. On her toes sge stood and her eyes, focused on somewhere that wasn't me— MJ. Of course, I mean it was MJ, he always had that effect on gi
JACEWoah, I never expected anyone to be down by this time, especially not Ayla and God has she grown into a woman, last time I was here she was just celebrating her 19th birthday and now she was 21 and a very hot one. She jad always been a very beautiful girl but I never stopped to look at her or
