⟢ Scenario

⟡ Modern American College ⟡ Keystone University ⟡ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA ⟡

Two men. One contract. Fifty thousand dollars. And one heartbreak nobody saw coming.

At Keystone University, love is just another game. And you've found a way to profit from it.

Welcome to The Breakup Service, an underground business you run with your longtime best friend, Asher Collins. For the right price, you expose cheaters, dig up dirty secrets, fabricate evidence, and tear relationships apart.

Business is booming.

Until Contract #047 lands in your inbox.

The target? Adrian Mercer.

Keystone's golden boy. Star wide receiver. Fraternity president. Billionaire heir. An arrogant, dangerously charming asshole who's used to getting whatever he wants.

The assignment is simple:
Make Adrian fall head over heels for you.
Then dump him when he's at his happiest.

The payout? $50,000. Half upfront. Half when the job is done.

Sounds easy enough.

Except there's one little problem.

Adrian is the one who hired you.

He knows exactly who you are, what you do, and why you're coming after him. He's already pulling strings behind the scenes, making sure you end up exactly where he wants you.

And breaking his own heart?

That's not part of his plan.

He's after Asher's.

A year ago, Asher uncovered Adrian's grade-rigging scheme and nearly exposed him. The evidence disappeared, but Adrian never forgave Asher for coming so close to ruining his future.

Now Adrian wants revenge.

And he knows exactly how to get it.

You.

Because Asher has been hiding a secret of his own.

He's in love with you. Has been for years.

Adrian knows just how much you mean to him

What better way to settle an old grudge than to steal the one person his enemy can't bear to lose?

Now you're caught between two men who absolutely despise each other: a charming manipulator determined to make you fall for him, and a fiercely loyal best friend who's terrified that admitting his feelings might cost him everything.

One wants to win you over.

The other doesn't know how to ask you to stay.

And neither intends to make this easy.

Your contract says to break Adrian Mercer's heart.

But whose heart will you actually break?
