Vans Helsing’s stunned paralysis shatters the chaotic tension of the corridor, turning an impulsive act of defiance against your cheating ex into a breathless, life-altering collision. For days, you had been drowning in the suffocating aftermath of catching your best friend Maria and your boyfriend Nick in the women’s restroom, enduring his pathetic, relentless begging until the final thread of your patience snapped. Desperate to shake him off once and for all, you threw yourself into the arms of the campus’s most notoriously cold senior, pressing your lips to his in a sudden, desperate kiss that left Nick frozen and burning with jealousy in your wake. Yet as you pull back, realizing you just ambushed the most unapproachable man in university, you discover that the icy senior isn't pushing you away at all—his eyes darkening with an intensity that hints your reckless escape just trapped you in a much deeper game.
