Falling for the Enemy Collateral Damage (Sienna)
The moment the words left my mouth, the room shrank. The air thickened, pressing against my chest, suffocating.Luca’s expression didn’t change at first. His body remained tense, rigid. But his hands—his hands flexed at his sides like he was holding himself together by sheer willpower.The silence between us stretched, sharp as a blade.Then—quiet. Too quiet.“What did you just say?”I swallowed hard. “You heard me.”“Say it again.”His voice was different now. Dark. Cold. A warning wrapped in a command.My breath shook as I forced myself to look at him. “My father owed Matteo a debt.”Luca exhaled sharply through his nose, but it wasn’t relief. It was something closer to rage.“And you knew,” he said flatly.I opened my mouth. Closed it. What was I supposed to say? That I had been drowning in this secret, knowing it would destroy us? That I had spent months fearing this exact moment?That I had fallen for him despite knowing how this would end?I hesitated too long.Luca let out a sh

I walked.I didn’t know where I was going, didn’t care. I just needed to move, needed to put as much distance between myself and Sienna as possible before I said something I couldn’t take back.The halls of Ridgecrest blurred around me, students shifting in my peripheral vision. I could hear their voices—some laughing, some whispering—but none of it registered.All I could hear was her voice.“My father owed Matteo a debt.”It replayed in my head like a slow-motion car crash, twisting and distorting until it was the only thing I could think about. The only thing I could feel.My father.Her father.Connected in a way neither of us had ever spoken about.Because she hid it from me.And I let her in anyway.The thought made me sick.I reached the field before I realized where my feet had taken me. The empty bleachers loomed in front of me, and for a second, I almost turned back. But my body was too wired, my hands shaking with the kind of anger that needed an outlet.So I walked straigh

The moment Luca walked away, the air in my room felt thinner.Like he’d taken every ounce of oxygen with him.Like he’d taken me with him.I stood there for a long time, staring at the closed door, trying to breathe past the tightness in my chest.But the panic had already settled.He knew.I had spent months, months, trying to keep this secret buried. I had convinced myself that if I just played my cards right, if I stayed quiet, if I did everything I could to keep my head down, I could outrun the inevitable.But there was no outrunning Luca Russo.And now that he knew, everything was going to change.I sat down on the edge of my bed, my hands shaking as I pressed my fingers to my temples. My brain was already spiraling through the worst possibilities.Would he tell someone?Would he go after Matteo?Would Matteo find out that Luca knew?The last thought sent ice through my veins.If Matteo even suspected that I had talked, that I had said anything—No.I couldn’t let myself think li

The weight of my confession settled over us like a thick fog, suffocating, inescapable.Luca hadn’t said a word in the last five minutes. Not since I told him the truth. Not since the ground beneath us cracked open, sending us spiraling into free fall.He just stood there, hands braced on his knees, head bowed as if the force of what I’d said had physically knocked the breath out of him.And maybe it had.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to suppress the tremors in my hands. My heartbeat was a chaotic rhythm in my chest, each thud a countdown to whatever would come next.I wanted him to say something. Anything.Scream. Demand answers. Tell me he hated me.But the silence was worse.“Luca,” I whispered.He straightened slowly, his eyes shadowed, unreadable. When he finally met my gaze, I almost wished he hadn’t.Because he didn’t look at me like he had yesterday.Not like I was the girl he wanted, the girl he burned for.No, he looked at me like I was the lie he never saw coming.

I needed to hit something.I needed to feel the burn in my knuckles, the sting of impact, something that hurt as much as the betrayal lodged deep in my chest.Sienna knew. She had known for months. And she hadn’t told me.The girl I trusted—the girl I wanted more than anything—had been keeping secrets about the one thing I could never forgive. My father. His debt. The chains he wrapped around people, forcing them to bend until they broke.I stormed across campus, barely registering where I was going until I shoved open the doors to the gym. The space was mostly empty except for a couple of guys on the treadmills and some freshmen half-assing their lifts. None of them mattered.I zeroed in on the punching bag in the corner and walked straight to it, my pulse hammering in my ears.One hit. Then another. Then another.My fists landed over and over, each impact reverberating up my arms, but it wasn’t enough. Nothing was enough.How the fuck had I not seen it?I thought I knew her. Thought

The bus stuttered to a halt, hissing as the doors creaked open. Sienna Hayes tightened her grip on the fraying strap of her duffel bag, her heart pounding in sync with the rumble of the engine. 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? She was the girl who didn’t belong. A scholarship kid with bruises on her ribs and a father’s debts hanging over her head like a noose.As she stepped off the bus, the chill in the air bit through her thin sweater. Her sneaker

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 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

She kissed me back.And for a second—for one reckless, unthinking moment—I thought maybe we could pretend the rest of the world didn’t exist.That there weren’t a thousand reasons why this was a bad idea.That there weren’t secrets coiling between us like barbed wire, ready to tighten and rip us apart the moment we got too close.But then Sienna pulled away.Her breath was unsteady, her lips parted, her eyes wide with something that looked a hell of a lot like panic.And just like that, reality crashed down between us.She stepped back like I’d burned her. “I can’t do this.”My jaw clenched. “Why not?”“Because it’s—” She exhaled, shaking her head. “It’s dangerous.”I let out a low laugh, sharp and humorless. “No shit, Hayes.”She glared at me. “I’m serious.”“So am I.” I took a step closer. She took another step back. It felt like a goddamn metaphor. “You think I don’t know this is a bad idea? That I don’t know everything about us is messed up?”She swallowed hard but didn’t answer.
Falling for the Enemy Breaking Away (Sienna)
I needed to stay away from him.That much was clear.Every time I let my guard slip, even a little, Luca Russo found a way to get under my skin. A glance, a touch, a single word spoken in that low, infuriating voice, and suddenly I was right back where I swore I wouldn’t be—on the edge of something reckless.Something dangerous.Something I couldn’t afford.So why had I gone to the match?Why had I stood there, watching him dominate the field, moving like he owned every inch of that stadium?And why—when he came to me afterward, sweat-drenched and looking at me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered—had I felt like my resolve was slipping through my fingers?This had to stop.It had to.By the time I got back to my dorm, I felt like I’d run a marathon.“Where have you been?” Lila asked, sitting cross-legged on her bed, scrolling through her phone.“Nowhere,” I mumbled, stripping off my hoodie.She arched a brow. “Lies. You were at the game, weren’t you?”I groaned, flopp
Falling for the Enemy The Edge of Ruin
I should have walked away.Should have turned around and let it go.But I didn’t.I couldn’t.Sienna fucking Hayes had a grip on me I didn’t understand, and every time I tried to pull away, something yanked me right back.She didn’t say a word after I let her go in the hallway, just turned and disappeared down the corridor like she didn’t feel the weight of my eyes on her. Like she didn’t hear the pounding in my chest when she was close.And that?That pissed me off more than anything.Because she should know.She should fucking see it.I ran a hand through my hair, my jaw tight as I stalked into the locker room before rugby practice. The usual chaos filled the space—teammates throwing jabs, the clatter of cleats against the tile, the sharp scent of sweat and determination.But I barely heard any of it.“Jesus, Russo, you look like you’re about to kill someone.” Ethan’s voice cut through my storm, and I turned to see him watching me from his locker, one brow raised.“Not now,” I mutte
Falling for the Enemy No Safe Distance (Sienna)
I didn’t sleep.Not really.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my heart still racing from the night before. Every time I closed my eyes, I could feel Luca’s hand on my back, the heat of his body when he’d whispered, Trust me.God, I was so screwed.The thrill of almost getting caught still buzzed in my veins. It wasn’t just the danger of sneaking around that had my body on high alert—it was him.Luca Russo.The boy I swore I wouldn’t get close to. The boy I was failing miserably at resisting.The worst part?I didn’t even want to resist anymore.I turned onto my side, hugging my pillow to my chest, but sleep never came. By the time the morning announcements played over the intercom, I was already wide awake, staring at my uniform hanging on the closet door.I needed to pull myself together.This was getting reckless.Luca was dangerous—if not for my heart, then for my entire future.If he found out the truth about my father… about why I was really here…No.I forced myself to sit u
