1. New life

"So heavy ughh," Innessa groaned as she stepped into the dorm with two heavy boxes. As soon as she stepped inside, she placed them on the floor and sighed, dropping her weight down as she sprawled on the floor, breathing heavily while staring at the ceiling. After catching her breath, she pulled herself to her feet, pulling her trousers up, her gaze bounced around her precious dorm. The room was small but cozy enough. There was a single bed to her left, and a study table with a cupboard to her right. A mini room fridge. There was a window on the front wall and a restroom door to her right at the corner. Innessa checked the restroom. It was small, but luckily, she didn't have to share it with anyone. She was on cloud nine. The only reason she got a whole room to herself was because of her scholarship. She got the golden scholarship. Innessa had worked so hard for it. Just thinking about her late-night studies and crazy study schedule brought tears to her eyes, but the fruit of

2. Cognac

Innessa stepped out of her room as the door automatically locked. Her eyes darted to her neighbor, and it was Scarlett Walsh. "Hey," She chirped as soon as she saw Innessa. "Hey," Innessa greeted her with a soft smile. Innessa was wearing a beautiful sundress. Her hair was up in a ponytail, with a ribbon tied around it. "You headed to university?" Scarlett asked. The university was within walking distance of the dorms. "No, I'm headed to the church. I go there every Friday," Innessa said, earning a surprised nod of appreciation from Scarlett. "That's lovely. You seem like such a nice person. My roommate and I are planning to explore the town this weekend. If you want to join us, you're always welcome." "I'd love to," Innessa beamed happily. "Be ready by 1 in the noon tomorrow. I'll fetch you," Scarlett said, and the girl nodded before they headed out of the building together. Innessa made her way to the church while Scarlett headed to the university. Innessa went to

3. Secret Chamber

For a couple of seconds, she was sucked into a trance as she couldn't look away. That man broke eye contact first, and for a fleeting second, his gaze lingered on her face before meeting her eyes again. His gaze visibly darkened, piercing through her soul. All of a sudden, it was too intense, which forced her to avert her gaze. A light tug on her hand had her eyes shooting down, and she abruptly let his hand go; unconsciously, she was hugging his arm to her chest. Innessa jerked away from him, a bit flustered and out of breath. At that moment, she noticed how tall he was. And he has very broad shoulders, which gives him an intimidating aura. "I... I..." She fumbled with her words, swallowing thickly. Her throat was parched. She was so engrossed in his eyes that she didn't notice she was holding him. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed that he had to tug at his hand to get her to let go of him. "I'm sorry," she said in a small voice, keeping her gaze on the floor. Innessa

4. Boyfriend

Innessa walked to the academy with Scarlett. She met her in the lobby, so they walked together. "What's that?" Innessa asked, staring at a small structure that was in Scarlett's hands. "That's my project. The marks would be included in my semester grades. We still have a month to complete it," Scarlett said as Innessa nodded. "I could help you if you want," Innessa offered, and Scarlett chuckled, thanking her, saying she wanted to do it by herself because she loved to do it. It was her passion. Innessa didn't know why, but she always got inspired when the person talked about their passion and their love for what they were pursuing. Hearing them talk about their goals and passions always motivated her to focus on her goals and work harder. The girls parted ways as Scarlett headed to the architecture department and Innessa went to the psychology department. On her way, she was walking through the parking lot when her eyes fell on a familiar tall frame with broad shoulders. I

5. Rumours

Innessa was in the class when she heard the girl whispering while glancing at her. It was so obvious they were talking about her.She ignored them and focused on the notes. A week has passed since Henry cornered her at the stairs. The wound on her neck itched sometimes, but it was healing. She was sure that it would leave a scar. For now, every day she covered it with Band-Aids.Luckily, Henry and his goons hadn't bothered her since that day, and she believed they didn't talk to Issac or ask him anything because things were going fine and smoothly.The only weird thing was the looks she was getting from the students for the past two days. Some looked at her in pure wonderment, while others seemed scared of her. She didn't pay much attention to it, but it was getting out of hand to the point where she thought there was something on her face all the time.Elena stepped into the class, and her eyes darted to Innessa. She quickly hurried over to her and took the empty seat beside her.Ele

6. Savior

"Your girl?" Henry sounded flabbergasted. Even Innessa stared at her savior, dumbfounded. Despite all the fear, she felt a little dip in her stomach. The girl would be out of her damn mind to feel butterflies in such a dire situation. "Are you deaf?" Innessa gulped as her eyes darted to his Adam's apple. He had such a deep manly voice, and his British accent was the cherry on top. His attitude was that of a vicious king, as if he didn't care that he was one against three of them. He could easily tell her to get lost, but instead, he decided to help her. She couldn't thank him enough for that. If he wasn't there, then she didn't even want to think about what Henry and his friends might've done to her. Henry flinched at his direct insult. "Prove that you guys are dating," Henry said, though he looked scared. He was pulling on a brave facade, but his friends were already stepping back. Innessa stiffened when the tall, huge man holding her pulled her closer through her wai

7. Matchmaker

"So, how's it like dating Issac?" Elena asked, sitting beside Innessa as they waited for their professor to arrive."It's nice," she said in a small voice, pretending to read her notes."I don't know why, but I'm so invested in your couple. You guys are so perfect. An angel for a dev-" She abruptly sealed her lips, and when Innessa glanced at her, she shrugged her shoulders, smiling sheepishly."What is it?""Nothing," She blurted out, pulling out her journal and noting some points from Innessa's notes.They were talking about Elena's favorite cafe and how the pastries there were the best when two girls walked over to them.Innessa noticed them first as they stared at her with sweet smiles."Hi, could you lend me your notes? By the way, I'm Cassie, and this is Arielle." The girl introduced them both."Hey, I'm Innessa, and this is Elena," Innessa introduced themselves. She noticed how they completely ignored Elena, and also, these were the same girls who were gossiping about her a cou

8. Giddy

Issac let go of her, only to stand in front of her. And she was aghast at how her body didn't like the loss of his warmth."He is my senior." She told the truth. Not knowing why her fake boyfriend was inquiring about it, because no one was exactly prying on their conversation."And?"She frowned slightly. "It's nothing you should worry about," she said with a tight-lipped smile, and noticed how he nodded calmly, but his eyes looked darker."You're right. Let's go," he said, grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers as he walked ahead of her and pulled her along.She gaped at their hands. Her hand was so small, all snuggled up in his big, veiny hand. But why were they holding hands? She glanced up and noticed his broad shoulders and back. He was so tall and broad. Not buff, just simply perfect.Innessa swallowed thickly, lightly pulling at her hand, but he didn't let go. Instead, he threw her a glance over his shoulder."Everyone in your department has their eyes set on us. I be

9. Corrupt Her

Ruthless.That was what they called him in the ring. A demon through and through. Issac Knight was a notorious man in the underworld fighting ring for his barbaric cruelty and relentless attitude. His vicious smirk and those unique, deadly eyes had his opponents shivering in fear.He fights in the ring to win, and he always does. Due to his link with the mafia, everyone was scared of him. A university student involved with the mafia was a hot topic for all the students, but he couldn't care less. He thrived in the fear he had unintentionally instilled in everyone. He was a dark, evil entity for them, and he boasts about it.Issac was to take his father's empire once he completed his education. He was preparing to take over one day, so he was pursuing a business degree. His father wasn't aware of his involvement with the mafia, but his cousin-brothers did.On the other hand, he also resembled a Greek God for his exquisite features. When not knocking out his opponents, he was always bus

10. Annoying

Innessa awkwardly made her way into the business department, holding a can of soda in her hand. She checked her phone, going through their last conversation for the fifth time. She had asked him at what time his class would end, and then she decided to bring him a drink. She glanced around to find any signs of Henry stalking her, but he was nowhere in sight. A notification popped up at the top of her screen as she clicked on it. It was a picture of a beautiful mini architecture model that Scarlett had sent to the group 'secret chamber.' 'It looks awesome,' Innessa typed and sent the message. 'Phenomenal,' Darla's message followed as Scarlet sent them a blushing emoticon. She was so engrossed in her phone that a deep voice with a rich British accent just near her ear startled the life out of her. She even felt his hot breath when he said, "Good afternoon," her phone almost falling before she clutched it tightly, pressing it to her chest as she breathed to calm her nerves do
