Sienna Hayes only wanted one thing: to escape the wreckage of her father’s debts and start over at Ridgecrest Academy, the elite school where she’s nothing more than the invisible scholarship girl. But blending in is impossible when her path collides with Luca Deveraux, the academy’s golden boy with a dangerous edge. Luca has it all—money, power, and the world at his feet—but behind his charming smile lies a storm he can’t control. When Sienna becomes the first person to see through his carefully constructed façade, their connection becomes impossible to ignore. But Sienna has secrets of her own—secrets tied to Luca’s powerful family and the debt that could destroy them both. As their worlds spiral closer, passion ignites, boundaries blur, and the line between love and disaster disappears. Will they survive the fallout, or will their forbidden love become the ultimate betrayal?

Beyond the scratched glass window, Ridgecrest Academy’s towering gates gleamed under the morning sun, an imposing symbol of everything she didn’t belong to.“End of the line,” the driver barked, his tone indifferent.She inhaled sharply, pulling her oversized hoodie tighter around her body, as if the fabric could shield her from the weight of what lay ahead.Ridgecrest Academy wasn’t just a school. It was a kingdom. The kind of place where students wore designer uniforms tailored to perfection and carried last names that could open doors—or close them forever. And Sienna?

The Warning
The halls of Ridgecrest Academy were a maze of polished floors, arched windows, and intimidating stares. Sienna kept her head low as she followed the map clutched in her trembling hands. Her first day wasn’t even half over, and she was already drowning in the weight of it all.The whispers followed her, soft and sharp, cutting through the air like knives.“Did you see her hoodie? Who even wears that here?”“Probably can’t afford the uniform.”“Bet she’s on some kind of pity scholarship.”She clenched her teeth and kept moving, her nails digging into her palms. They didn’t know her. They didn’t know the nights she spent sleeping on a thin mattress, the jobs she juggled to make sure her father’s rent wasn’t late, or the bruises she’d learned to hide.They don’t matter, she told herself. Just survive.She turned a corner, and the low hum of conversation faded into a different kind of noise—laughter, loud and raucous, accompanied by the sound of something slamming against the lockers.“Co

The Edge Control
The dormitory walls were paper-thin, and Sienna could hear the chatter and laughter of girls down the hall as she sat cross-legged on her bed. Her tiny room was bare except for the essentials: a desk, a bed, and a wardrobe that barely fit her thrifted clothes.She stared at the cracked screen of her phone. No new messages. Not from her father, who probably didn’t even remember she’d left, and certainly not from her mother, who hadn’t been in her life for years.The loneliness clawed at her chest, but she shoved it down. She couldn’t afford to wallow. Not here. Not now.A sharp knock on the door jolted her. She hesitated before crossing the room and pulling it open.The girl from the library stood there, holding a steaming mug.“Thought you could use this,” she said, thrusting the mug into Sienna’s hands.“Thanks…” Sienna trailed off, realizing she didn’t know her name.“Camila,” the girl supplied with a small smile. She stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, her gaze sweepi

Shadows of Home
Sienna never liked going home. It wasn’t a place of comfort or safety; it was just four walls barely holding together the life she and her father tried to pretend wasn’t falling apart.The house was a small, run-down bungalow on the edge of town. The paint on the walls was peeling, and the roof leaked every time it rained. But it was hers. Or at least, it had been.She sat on the edge of her bed in the dormitory, her fingers brushing the fabric of her hoodie. It smelled faintly of detergent and something else—a trace of the life she left behind.Growing up, she had spent her evenings cleaning tables at the diner down the street, saving every tip she could to help cover bills. Her father, once a lively and loving man, had become a shadow of himself. Losing her mother had done that.Alcohol filled the spaces where her mother’s laughter used to be. Debt collectors filled the rest.The scholarship to Ridgecrest had been her way out. But the guilt followed her like a specter, whispering th

Collisions
Sienna’s breath fogged the air as she stepped out of the dormitory. The crisp morning chill bit at her cheeks, but she welcomed it. It was better than being trapped in her room with nothing but her thoughts to keep her company.She tightened her scarf and adjusted the strap of her backpack. Today was going to be a long one—three classes back-to-back, a shift at the campus bookstore, and then an endless night of catching up on assignments.As she walked across the courtyard, she caught sight of the rugby team jogging toward the field. They moved in perfect synchronization, their laughter and banter cutting through the morning quiet.Her eyes found Luca instantly, as if drawn by a magnet. He was at the front of the group, his breath visible in the cold air, his dark hair damp from sweat. He didn’t look like he belonged in a place like Ridgecrest either, but not because he was out of place.He owned the space.Sienna tore her gaze away, her stomach twisting. She couldn’t let herself get

Fractured Reflections (Sienna)
I had a mild concussion, which resulted in an overnight stay at the hospital for observation. A week off school was the cherry on top, though the idea of being trapped in the house for seven days wasn’t exactly a vacation.Home was… complicated. It wasn’t a place you could relax or feel safe. My mom tried to make it that way, but my father’s moods were like landmines—unpredictable and destructive. You never knew when one would explode.That week, I did what I always did: I stayed invisible. I spent my days locked in my room with headphones drowning out the noise downstairs. My dad’s voice carried through the house like a storm cloud, barking orders and complaints. My mom would reply in soft, careful tones, trying to keep the peace. But peace was a foreign concept in our house.I’d learned how to navigate it long ago. Avoid. Evade. Endure.By the time Sunday night rolled around, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I should have been dreading Monday—the stares, the whispers, the inevit

Tension before Dawn (Luca)
The dream hit me like a punch to the gut- raw, vivid and impossible to shake. Sienna . Her lips. Her eyes. Her Skin, glistening with sweet, gliding under my fingers like silk. I could feel the heat of her body against mine , a constant pull that threatened to break everything I knew. We were in a room I didn't recognize- dark, shadows creeping in the corners. But all I saw was her. The way she moved, slow and deliberate, like she was daring me to make a move. I didn't hesitate. I never did in dreams. My hands found her, gripping her waist, pulling her closer. She gasped, breath catching in her throat. "What are you doing?"she whispered, but her eyes told a different story. Her body arched into mine, lips parted in a silent invitation. I kissed her then, hard, desperate. She tasted like fire- sweet and fierce, like nothing I'd ever known. I was drowning in her, lost in her taste, and the feel of her against me. But then, just as quickly she pulled away, her eyes wide with something

Fractured Spaces ( Sienna)
The walk home from Ridgecrest was always the same. Students peeled away into luxury cars or onto private buses while I trudged to the edge of the campus, where the wealth and privilege abruptly ended. My route took me past gated mansions, sprawling lawns, and perfectly curated lives.By the time I reached my neighborhood, it felt like I’d crossed an invisible line into a world that Ridgecrest refused to acknowledge existed.At home, the front door creaked open to the sound of my dad’s voice barking at someone over the phone. I stepped inside, careful not to draw attention to myself.“There you are,” he said as soon as he saw me. His voice carried the sharp edge of frustration. “Did you buy groceries like I told you?”I winced, guilt twisting in my chest. “I didn’t have time after practice—”“Not this again,” he snapped, cutting me off. “Do you think the bills pay themselves? Or that food just appears in the fridge?”“I’ll go tomorrow,” I said, keeping my voice low.“You’ll go now,” he

A Full House (Luca)
Home smelled like rosemary and garlic when I walked through the front door, and the warmth of it hit me like a wave. My mom’s cooking had a way of doing that—wrapping around you, making you feel like the world wasn’t such a bad place after all.“Luca, is that you?” her voice rang from the kitchen, light and musical like it always was.“Yeah, it’s me!” I called back, dropping my bag by the stairs.“Dinner will be ready in ten minutes! Invite your friends if you want!”I smirked. She always said that, whether or not my friends were actually coming over. Mom loved nothing more than a full house. She thrived on it—feeding people, asking a million questions, making them feel like part of the family. It was one of the reasons Jake and the guys practically lived here.I stepped into the kitchen and found her exactly as I expected: apron tied around her waist, hair pulled back into a messy bun, and a wooden spoon in hand as she stirred something that smelled incredible.“Rough practice?” she

The Turning Point
Chapter 10LucaThere are certain things I’ve learned to tune out over the years—Coach’s endless shouting during practice, Jake’s bad jokes, and Amanda’s persistent need to be the center of attention. But when she cornered me after practice today, I knew tuning her out wasn’t going to cut it.“You’ve been ignoring me,” Amanda said, her arms crossed as she leaned against my locker. Her tone was a mix of irritation and that fake sweetness she used when she wanted something.I sighed, tossing my gear into my bag. “I’ve been busy, Amanda.”“Too busy to reply to a text? Too busy for me?” she pressed, stepping closer.I looked at her, trying to find the words that wouldn’t completely blow this up. Amanda and I had been… something for a long time. Not dating, not serious, just a comfortable arrangement that neither of us questioned. But lately, it wasn’t comfortable anymore.“Yeah, I am,” I said finally, slinging my bag over my shoulder.Her eyes narrowed, and I could feel the shift in her d
