Chapter 2Clarissa.My eyes were stuck on his for so long, I couldn’t look away even if I wanted to. Damien’s eyes, those piercing blue oceans, stared straight into my soul like they could unravel every secret I tried to bury. His broad chest, his defined and hefty muscles, the hard lines of his six-pack… God, I didn’t even realize my hand was still pressed against his chest until I felt it start to tremble, his breathing going up and down.I was frozen, not from fear but from something deeper. A feeling I thought I’d buried years ago, long before I reminded myself he was my step-cousin.That was when the memory hit me like a wave, sweeping me back to a moment three years ago. A time before he travelled and I began to accept Clinton as my boyfriend out of frustration and reminding myself that he is just my cousin and off-limits!Damien had always been the man of my dreams. Even when we were still in secondary school. Even when I knew I shouldn’t feel the way I did. He was my step-cous

Chapter 4The Party TrapClinton’s POVToday has done a lot of things to me; it’s really been a long day, and I still have her in every corner of my mind.Today was the day I broke up with my girlfriend. No, let me just call her what she really was. My bitch. Yeah, I didn’t really love her, and honestly I only came into her life to use her to get what I wanted, which is getting into the elite university because she’s damn intelligent and I’m not even sorry about it.I wanted this, to be honest, I really did. Even though part of me felt a little weird about the whole thing, like something inside had cracked a bit, like I was still yearning for her. But we’d been together for so long, and I was fed up and tired of her, tired of the boring routine. I wanted something new, someone else, not someone who was just given to me by my parents as betrothed.I need someone who could make me stand out. Someone influential. Popular. Someone who could boost my status now that I’m in the university a

Chapter 6The Locked DoorClarissa's POVI think I'm kind of stuck in this awkward situation, and the fact that Clinton’s tone was commanding and he locked the door behind him…the click of the door, sent cold shivers down my spine. I knew I wouldn't get out, and the worst part of it all was that my head was aching from the drink's effect.Really no way to escape this pervert! I was trapped.The way he asked it, his voice wrapped in false concern, filled with calculations and schemings, made my stomach turn. Of course I knew he was pretending.I forced a weak smile, my lips trembling as I said, “Thank you so much, Clinton, for caring about me. But I’m fine; you don’t have to follow me around, okay? You don’t have to act as if nothing happened today… as if you didn’t betray me, as if you didn’t cheat on me.” My voice cracked on the last word. “Now, you need to get out of this female restroom immediately.”I didn’t have time for his silly games right now. I reached for the door handle, d

Chapter 8Stolen kissClarissa’s povI wish the restroom doors hadn’t swung open yet.I truly wish the angels could hear my silent cries and grant me the strength to break free from his grip.But my wishes were useless. I’m so helpless right now.Clinton’s hands were iron shackles around my arms; he was holding me so tight that it burned. His breath was hot and close as he fixed his head on kissing my neck; his voice was low and charged with a sick authority that made my stomach turn.“Are you in for teasing, Clarissa? Because I’ll make you scream my name,” he hissed, each word coated in arrogance. “I’ll make you scream until you disgrace yourself in front of your classmates. And when they hear your scream, they’ll all rush in here… and see you naked… being fucked up by me.”His tone wasn’t just threatening; it was final, like he’d already decided how this moment would end. I could feel his hands tracing under my gown, but I slapped them away.My heartbeat thundered in my ears. Panic

Chapter 10Steam and ShiversClarissa’s povI have always hated cold water. It bites at the skin like thousands of tiny needles, prickling until it feels as if the chill has settled in your bones. But never in my life did I think that my silly dislike for cold showers would become… a problem.And yet here I was, standing under the spray, my teeth clattering, muttering to myself about how much I despised the icy rush trickling down my back. I had no idea my grumbles and the shout had carried beyond the door already. I didn’t know that Damien, my Damien, was just outside.The sound of heavy footsteps thundered toward the bathroom. At that moment, the part of my brain that still functions thought he must think I’m in trouble. Oh no! Why did I even have to scream that loud?Before I could react, the door swung open.I froze immediately seeing his sexy blue eyes, those eyes that got me drooling over him, and that was when I realized that he froze as well, Damien’s gaze locked on me.And ju
