Allie was lost in thought as Adam Sinclair walked beside her.Once they stepped outside, Allie snapped back to reality. She jerked her hand out of his grip and spun on him. "Adam Sinclair, what the hell is wrong with you?"Her heart was racing. It wasn’t like Adam kissed her against her will, but when he did, Allie didn’t pull away. For a crazy moment, she thought it was Liam Hart kissing her.What’s wrong with me?Adam stopped, his cold expression unchanged. "I’m sorry."Allie’s anger flared. "You used me as a shield? Why me?""Because you’re Nick Lawson’s ex. Felicity wouldn’t dare touch you," Adam said, his voice calm but sharp.Allie clenched her fists. "You’re such a jerk."Without another word, she turned and stormed off.Chloe West shot Adam a look before hurrying after Allie.Allie had dropped her bag in her rush to leave. It wasn’t anything important—just a few clothes—but she didn’t care enough to go back for it.Once they reached the dorm, Chloe hesitated. "Allie, I’m sorry

“You’re cooking?” she asked, her voice betraying her surprise.Liam didn’t even look up. “It’s breakfast, not rocket science. Sit.”Allie hesitated. “I really need to get going—”“I said, sit.” His tone was calm but firm, leaving no room for argument.Reluctantly, she sat at the table. The aroma of porridge and freshly brewed coffee filled the air, but she barely tasted the food as she shoveled it down.“You’re going to burn your tongue like that,” Liam said, sitting across from her. His gaze was sharp, as though he could see through her facade.“I’m fine,” she muttered, avoiding eye contact.Liam leaned back, his eyes narrowing. “Did you remember anything from last night?”Allie froze, her spoon halfway to her mouth. “Last night? No, why?”A flicker of disbelief crossed his face. “You’re a terrible liar.”She stood abruptly, grabbing her bag. “I have to go. Big day at school. Thanks for breakfast.”“You’re running again,” he said flatly.Her hand paused on the door handle, but she d

The first day of school passed in a blur. That evening, Allie returned to the house she now shared with Liam, only to find a sticky note stuck to the fridge.“Away on business for three days – Melbourne.”She let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Relief, mixed with... something else she couldn’t name.Her phone buzzed later that night."Allie," her father, David, said over the line, "You’ll need to attend the birthday banquet for Mr. Hart in two days.""Give my invite to Vivian," Allie replied curtly. "I’m not going."David hesitated, sighed, and then hung up without another word.Allie stared at the note Liam had left. If the banquet was in two days and he was gone for three, was he dodging the event? She couldn’t shake the thought that this wasn’t a coincidence.______________________________________________________________________________________________For the next two days, Cher worked tirelessly, calling everyone she could to arrange an interview with Liam. Eac

“Allie? What are you doing here?” His voice was calm but carried a dangerous undertone.Allie felt her face flush with embarrassment. Being caught climbing over a wall wasn’t exactly her finest moment. She tried to downplay it. “It’s... a long story.”The butler, standing nearby, interjected, his tone formal. “Young Master Adam, do you know these two?”Adam glanced at Allie and nodded. “This is my friend.”His gaze shifted briefly to Cher, and his tone turned icy. “I don’t know her.”The butler nodded in understanding. “If this young lady is a friend of yours, please, come inside. But as for the other, without an invitation, she must leave. If she tries to enter again, we will involve the police.”Cher was furious as she was escorted out, practically shaking with anger. Standing just beyond the estate’s gates, she glared back at the grand villa. “Allie,” she muttered under her breath, her voice dripping with resentment, “how did you manage this? Hooking up with Adam Hart of all peopl

Allie Brooks adjusted the crimson evening gown Liam Hart had given her, the fabric hugging her frame like a second skin. The satin shimmered under the dim light, accentuating every curve she often hid beneath loose, unassuming clothes.Her cheeks flushed as she recalled Liam’s smirk when he handed her the dress. “It suits you better than you think,” he had murmured before leaving the room.Now, standing alone in the quiet suite, Allie felt both vulnerable and bold. The silence stretched, and when Liam didn’t return, an uneasy knot tightened in her chest.I can’t just stand here waiting for him.She decided to leave. Quietly. She couldn’t risk running into Adam Hart again, especially not dressed like this. If anyone questioned her presence, she wouldn’t have an explanation that made sense.The elevator dinged softly as she stepped out onto the lower floor. Her heels clicked against the marble, the sound loud in her ears as she kept her head low, moving swiftly toward the exit.“Allie?
