Emma Scott has always had it all—wealth, beauty, and power. As the privileged daughter of a business tycoon, she ruled her university years with confidence, arrogance, and an undeniable presence. But beneath her sharp tongue and ruthless attitude was an obsession she never dared to name—Killian Thomas, the one man who never bowed to her. Killian, a hardworking scholarship student from a middle-class background, despised Emma for the torment she put him through. She was cruel, entitled, and always seemed to have a target on his back. But when one heated argument after class turns into something far more physical, their hatred transforms into an addiction neither of them can resist. What starts as secret, no-strings-attached encounters after lectures spirals into something far more dangerous. They become study partners, but their breaks are filled with untamed passion. One night, they get locked inside the library and spend the entire night indulging in their darkest desires. Their obsession only grows stronger. Upon graduation, Killian is offered a job at Emma’s father’s company, the very place where Emma works. Their sinful rendezvous continue in secret—stolen moments in offices, forbidden trysts during business trips. They think they’re careful, but when Emma’s father catches them in a compromising position overseas, their affair is exposed. Faced with an ultimatum, Emma refuses to back down. She confesses that her bullying was always a twisted way of masking her love for Killian. She threatens to leave everything behind if her father dares to fire him. Forced to confront their true feelings, Emma and Killian finally make their relationship official. But even after marriage, their hunger for each other remains insatiable—whether at home, at work, or in places they should never be. Their passion is reckless. Their love is ruthless. And their temptation?

Introduction to Emma &Killian

Emma’s POVThere were two types of students at Westbridge University—the elite and the desperate.The elite, like me, walked these halls as if we owned them because, in many ways, we did. We were the sons and daughters of CEOs, politicians, and old-money aristocrats. Our names carried weight. Our futures were guaranteed.Then there were the desperate—the ones clawing their way up from nothing, grasping at scholarships, hoping to breathe the same air as us. They studied late into the night, fought for every grade, and believed that intelligence alone could level the playing field.Killian Thomas was one of them.I watched him now, sitting at the front of the lecture hall, focused as ever while the professor droned on about economic structures. His jaw was sharp, his dark hair falling into his eyes as he scribbled notes like his life depended on it. Maybe it did.He was an enigma at Westbridge. He had no wealth, no connections—just a mind that refused to be ignored. Professors admired h...

The Bullying Dynamic
Emma’s POVKillian Thomas had no idea who he was messing with.He might have won our little exchange after class, but this was far from over. No one—especially not some nobody scholarship student—made me falter. If he thought he could ignore me, brush me off like I was beneath him, he had another thing coming.I made my way to the café on campus, where my friends were gathered at our usual table. Eloise, my closest friend, was sipping on an iced latte while scrolling through her phone. Across from her, Hazel—sometimes a friend, sometimes an annoyance—was fixing her lipstick in a compact mirror.The moment I sat down, Hazel smirked. “Saw you talking to Killian Thomas again.”Eloise raised an eyebrow. “Let me guess, another round of who can be the biggest asshole?”I smiled sweetly. “Oh, you know me. I just can’t help myself.”Hazel leaned in, intrigued. “Why him though? I mean, yeah, he’s hot in that annoyingly smart, broody way, but still… he’s just a scholarship kid.”I stirred my co

Sexual Tension Explodes
Emma’s POVKillian Thomas thought he had won.I saw it in the way he looked at me—like he had figured out the secret to not letting me get under his skin. Like he was immune to me.I hated it.For years, I had dictated the social landscape of Westbridge. I knew how to make people crumble, how to get inside their heads, how to control every situation to my advantage.But Killian? He was the first person I couldn’t manipulate.And that made him irresistible.Not that I’d ever say it out loud.But the more he fought back, the more I wanted to push him. To see how far I could take it before he finally snapped.So when I spotted him leaving class alone, I followed.I didn’t call his name. I didn’t announce my presence. I just walked, letting my heels click against the tiled floor until he finally turned.His expression was flat, unimpressed. “Are you seriously following me?”I stopped a few steps away, tilting my head. “What, can’t handle a little attention, prince?”He exhaled sharply. “W

A Dangerous Addiction
Emma’s POVI should have been ashamed.I should have been embarrassed.But as I sat in my next lecture, lips still tingling, thighs pressed together to stop the lingering ache between them, all I felt was thrill.Killian Thomas had finally snapped.And God, it was exquisite.For years, I had pushed him, taunted him, trying to crack that impossible control of his. He had always been infuriatingly indifferent, always walking away like he was better than me.But today, he had lost.And I had won.Or at least, that’s what I told myself as I stole a glance across the room.Killian sat three rows ahead, his shoulders tense, his head tilted slightly downward as he pretended to be focused on the professor. But I knew better.He was thinking about it.Us.The way he had shoved me against the wall. The way his lips had devoured mine, like he had been starving for this—starving for me.I bit my lip, suppressing the smirk that threatened to break free.This wasn’t just a moment of weakness.This

Study Partners & Passionate Breaks
Killian’s POVThis was getting out of hand.I told myself that after the last time, I’d stop. That I wouldn’t let Emma Scott pull me into her twisted little game again.But here I was.Again.My hands gripped the edges of my textbook so tightly my knuckles turned white. Across from me, Emma sat at the library table, twirling a pen between her fingers, pretending to study.Except she wasn’t reading a damn thing.Neither was I.How the hell was I supposed to focus when just an hour ago, I had her pressed up against a desk, my lips tracing every inch of her skin, her gasps still ringing in my ears?This was dangerous.It wasn’t supposed to keep happening.But I couldn’t stop.Every time I told myself I’d walk away, she found a way to pull me back in. A smirk, a brush of her fingers against mine, a whisper in my ear that made my blood heat.I hated her for it.I hated myself more for letting it happen.“You’re not even reading,” she said suddenly, breaking the silence.I clenched my jaw,

Library Lock-In
Killian’s POVIt was supposed to be a normal night.One last study session before exams.One last chance to prepare before we graduated and went our separate ways.But Emma Scott never let anything be normal.Now, here we were.Locked in the goddamn university library.“I told you we should’ve left earlier,” I muttered, pacing near the entrance.Emma, completely unbothered, leaned against the librarian’s desk, twirling a pen between her fingers. “Relax, Thomas. It’s not the end of the world.”I turned to her, exasperated. “We’re stuck here all night, Emma. That’s a problem.”She arched a brow, her smirk deepening. “Is it?”I stiffened.That tone.That look in her eyes.I’d seen it too many times before.“Don’t,” I warned.Her lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. “Don’t what, Killian?”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. “We need to focus on getting out of here.”She pushed off the desk, closing the distance between us in slow, deliberate steps.“I can think of a be

Unspoken Feelings
Emma’s POVI wasn’t supposed to enjoy his presence outside of sex.But here I was.Lying next to Killian Thomas in the middle of the abandoned library, the first rays of morning light filtering through the high windows. His breathing was slow and even, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked… peaceful.It was infuriating.Because for the first time since this ridiculous arrangement started, I wanted to stay here a little longer.I wanted to just exist with him.And that was dangerous.I turned my head slightly, taking in his features—his sharp jawline, the faint shadow of stubble that made him look less like the perfect student and more like the man who had spent the night dragging me through every sinful act imaginable.Last night had been different.It wasn’t just sex.It felt like something more, something that lingered even after the pleasure had faded.Something that made my chest tighten in a way I did not like.I forced myself to sit up, pulling the librarian’s old swe

Rumors & Jealousy
Emma’s POVI wasn’t watching him.At least that’s what I told myself as I leaned against the marble pillar outside the lecture hall, pretending to scroll through my phone.Killian Thomas was standing by the vending machines across the corridor, his laughter ringing out like a punch to my chest.Because she was there.Natalie Cooper. Journalism major. Annoyingly pretty. All bright eyes, bouncing curls, and a flirtatious laugh that grated on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.I watched her touch his arm like she had the right—like they were close. Like he belonged to her.The worst part? Killian didn’t even pull away.No, he smiled—smiled—in that crooked way that used to be mine. His lips curved just enough to make her giggle, and my chest tightened.What the hell was happening to me?It wasn’t like we were exclusive. Hell, we weren’t even dating. We had sex intense, hate-fueled, toe-curling sex and then went back to pretending we hated each other.That was the deal. That was what ke

Caught in the Act
Killian’s POVWe weren’t supposed to be in here.The faculty lounge was strictly off-limits to students—especially after hours. But Emma didn’t give a damn about rules. That much had become crystal clear since the first time she dragged me into an empty classroom and kissed me like she hated me for breathing.Now, she’d gone and swiped the keycard from her father’s assistant—of course she had—and was perched on the long leather couch with a smirk that could bring any man to his knees.“Are you seriously dragging me into another illegal hookup?” I asked, shutting the door behind us and locking it.Emma leaned back, crossing her legs slowly, her short plaid skirt rising scandalously high. “You didn’t seem to complain last time.”“Yeah, because last time was a supply closet and we got away with it.”She raised a brow. “You’re scared now?”I stepped closer, tension sparking between us like flint on steel. “Of gettin

Rekindling Romance Amidst Diapers & Meetings
Killian’s POVI’d closed billion-dollar deals with less stress than trying to get a baby to nap.My arms were starting to go numb as I gently bounced our six-week-old daughter, Ava, against my chest. Her tiny cheek pressed into my shoulder, warm breath puffing against my skin, her fingers curled tightly around the fabric of my t-shirt like letting go meant she might fall into the abyss of baby nightmares again.Emma was in the living room, giving a pitch via Zoom to the Paris-based luxury brand her team had been courting for the past six months. Her voice came through the baby monitor loud and crisp—confident, articulate, the kind of commanding presence that made boardrooms go silent.And here I was, pacing in footie pajamas, humming a lullaby I barely remembered the lyrics to.But I wouldn’t trade it.This was my new battlefield. This was our new life.And I was in it for the long haul.“Shh, come on, baby girl…” I whispered softly. Her crying had died down to soft hiccups, and I exh
