LOGINZara thought her heart only had space for one bad boy—her charming best friend Jace, the tattooed playboy who never saw her as a woman.. Zara is determined to confess her feelings to Jace before their high school prom night ends but her hopes are entirely crushed when Jace announces he has a new girlfriend and she overhears him saying she (Zara)can never be his type. This hurts Zara beyond core. Heartbroken but determined to move on, Zara steps into college with a fresh start and a shared apartment with Jace. What she doesn’t expect is him—Noah Reyes, the brooding, inked stranger in the third room. Mysterious, cold, and devastatingly magnetic, Noah has something in him she can’t name.. He never wanted roommates. He doesn’t do feelings. But there’s something about Zara that threatens his rules.. Stuck between the best friend who’s always had her heart and the mysterious bad boy next door who’s starting to steal it, Zara is caught in a storm of temptation. She has to choose—but either way, someone’s bound to get burned.
View MoreZara; found him. Days had passed since we last heard from Noah.I wasn’t myself anymore. I kept texting and calling, but his phone had been off for days. He didn’t show up at school. We went to his apartment, even checked the basement, knocking over and over, but the door never opened.People were already gossiping about him at school, whispering like they knew the truth. As expected.Jace and I still weren’t talking properly. He had sent apology messages, and I accepted them. I understood, at least that’s what I told myself. He said he was protecting me as a friend, so I didn’t want to blame him. But I couldn’t bring myself to have a real conversation with him, not until I found Noah… or at least knew where he was.I had been staying at Riley’s apartment since then. Some nights, I tried to hold myself together, but I always ended up crying anyway.“I think we need to start putting up posters about Noah,” Riley muttered as we walked back from school. “Or better still… approach his da
Jace's pov; pointing fingers. I wasn’t sure where everything went wrong. But I had promised myself one thing, I was going to show the world who Noah really was.From the very beginning, something about him felt off. I couldn’t explain it, but I had this constant ick, this feeling that he was hiding something dark. And I was right. I dug and dug until I finally found it, just a tiny piece of information, but it was enough.Enough to prove he was a murderer.I was confident. Proud, even.I thought once Zara knew the truth, she’d finally see him for what he was and come back to me. Any sane person would leave a murderer immediately. That’s what I believed.So I exposed him.I stood there at school, watching everything unfold, then went back to the apartment, waiting patiently for Zara to come home to me once reality hit her.But that never happened.Instead, she defended him. She took his side. That was the part I never saw coming.I felt furious. Humiliated. Like absolute trash. Zara
Zara; his father's fault. I was inside the cab, tears dripping more than I could control. No matter how many times I knocked, he never opened the door.Even the cab driver kept stealing pitiful glances at me through the mirror. I looked away, embarrassed, broken.I had no choice but to go back to the apartment.When I got there, I found Jace sitting in the living room, almost like he had been waiting for me. The moment he saw me, his lips curved into a small smile as he stood up with his crutches and tried to pull me into a hug.“I told you, Zara,” he said softly, reaching for me. I stepped back immediately.I looked up at him, my vision blurred with tears.“What did you find?” I asked, my voice cracking.“Zee, exactly what you heard me say. I told you that guy is dangerous. He murdered his sister,” he said confidently, like it was already a proven fact.I shook my head slowly. My chest felt tight. I couldn’t breathe properly.“No… I don’t believe that,” I whispered. “How sure are yo
ZARA; mean My heart sank the moment Noah said those words. I didn’t even know what I was feeling anymore, shock, fear, devastation, everything crashed into me at once.“Stop it, Noah. I..” I reached for him, but he shifted his hand away.“I’m serious,” he said firmly. “I don’t deserve you. My life is a mess. I don’t deserve happiness. I don’t deserve anything. I can’t drag you into this. You’re better off without me.”And then he turned and walked away.I stood frozen for a moment, my mind spiraling out of control.Did Noah actually murder his sister? Is he really a killer?No. No, he can’t be. That doesn’t make sense. That isn’t him.My feet moved before my mind caught up.“Noah!” I shouted, chasing after him, my breath coming out uneven as I ran. I found him near the edge of the event grounds.I grabbed his wrist, forcing him to stop. I wouldn’t let him end us like this,not without a fight.“Noah, don’t do this,” I pleaded, my voice shaking, tears threatening to spill.“I’m sorry,
