Ethan Carter, the school’s notorious flirt, is used to getting any girl he wants. When a new literature teacher, the stunning and mysterious Ms. Vivian Hayes, arrives, she instantly becomes the fantasy of every male student. Confident in his charm, Ethan makes a reckless bet with his friends—to seduce the alluring teacher and secretly record their night together. But what starts as a game turns into something unexpected. That night, as Ethan watches Vivian under the soft glow of moonlight, he feels something foreign yet undeniable—love. For the first time in his life, he wants more than just a conquest. He wants her heart. His world shatters when Vivian discovers the existence of the video. Devastated and betrayed, she vanishes from the city without a trace. Ethan, consumed by guilt, desperately seeks redemption, but by the time he tracks her down, it’s too late—she is married to a wealthy man handpicked by her family. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Vivian forces herself to move on, yet deep inside, she knows the truth. The boy she tried to forget had already stolen her heart before she even realized it. Now bound by duty and haunted by love, she faces a cruel twist of fate—choosing between the life she’s obligated to live and the love she was never meant to have. Can Ethan win back the only woman he ever loved, or will fate forever keep them apart?

Chapter 1: New Obsession

Ethan Carter leaned back in his seat, arms folded behind his head, a smug smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. The usual monotony of senior year had just been shattered the moment she walked in.Ms. Vivian Hayes.She wasn’t like the other teachers—dull, uninspiring, predictable. No, she was something else entirely. She carried herself with a quiet confidence, her deep brown eyes scanning the room with authority. Her fitted blouse accentuated every curve, her pencil skirt hugging her hips in a way that made Ethan’s mind drift to places it shouldn’t.He exhaled slowly, watching her every movement as she placed her books on the desk. Her auburn hair cascaded over one shoulder, catching the sunlight streaming through the window, making her look almost ethereal. A slow, predatory grin spread across his face.“Well, well,” he murmured under his breath. “Looks like Lit class just got interesting.”His best friend, Jason, nudged him. “Dude, are you seeing what I’m seeing?”Ethan chuckled,...

Chapter 2: The Bet
Ethan Carter slumped lazily against the worn leather booth in the back of King’s Diner, the usual Friday night hangout spot for him and his friends. The place smelled like greasy burgers and burnt coffee, but Ethan barely noticed. His mind was still reeling from his first encounter with Ms. Hayes. The woman was something else—elegant, composed, and completely immune to his charm.For now.“You’re unusually quiet, Carter,” Jason smirked, tossing a crumpled napkin at him. “What, the new teacher got you all hot and bothered?”Ethan scoffed, grabbing his soda and taking a slow sip. “She’s just a challenge,” he admitted, voice laced with confidence. “And you know I don’t back down from challenges.”Tyler, the cockiest of the group, leaned in, his dark eyes glinting with mischief. “Oh yeah? Prove it.”Ethan raised a brow. “Prove what?”“Seduce her.”A slow, wicked grin spread across Ethan’s face. “Is that so?”Jason chuckled. “No way in hell you can pull that off, man. She’s a teacher. She’

Chapter 3: The Plan Begins
Ethan Carter was a master at playing games, and now, the stakes had never been higher. As he leaned against his locker that morning, watching Ms. Vivian Hayes stride down the hallway with effortless grace, he knew this was going to be his greatest challenge yet.She was untouchable—or at least, she thought she was.The moment she stepped into her classroom, Ethan pushed off the lockers and followed. He was early, as usual, because waiting for her alone was part of the plan. If he could get her flustered before the classroom filled up, he’d already be ahead.Ms. Hayes barely spared him a glance as she set down her bag. “You’re early again, Mr. Carter.”Ethan smirked, sliding into the desk closest to hers. “Maybe I just enjoy your company.”She didn’t look up. “And maybe I’m not interested in your games.”“Who said anything about games?” His voice dropped slightly, taking on a teasing edge. “I just think we have… an interesting dynamic.”She exhaled slowly, finally meeting his gaze. “Yo

Chapter 4: Flirting Games
The air inside Ms. Hayes' classroom was charged with something unspeakable, something neither of them were ready to name. Vivian could feel it the moment Ethan Carter strolled in, his usual cocky smirk in place, his movements slow and deliberate as if he owned the space around him.She hated that her pulse quickened when he entered. Hated the way he looked at her like he was already undressing her in his mind. But what she hated most was the way her body reacted, betraying her completely.“Ethan,” she warned, not even looking up from the stack of graded papers on her desk. “I need to speak with you.”He smirked, tossing his bag onto a nearby desk before sauntering toward her. “That sounds serious.”“It is.” She finally lifted her gaze, leveling him with a stern look. “Your behavior in class is inappropriate.”Ethan placed a hand over his heart in mock offense. “Inappropriate? Ms. Hayes, all I do is ask questions.”She exhaled, leaning back in her chair, fingers threading together. “Yo

Chapter 5: Unexpected Chemistry
The classroom was quiet except for the sound of the rain tapping gently against the windows. Most of the students had left, their chairs pushed back haphazardly, the faint echo of laughter still lingering in the halls.Ethan Carter, however, had stayed behind.Ms. Vivian Hayes sat at her desk, flipping through a well-worn copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray, oblivious—or perhaps pretending to be—to the young man watching her intently from his seat. The moment was thick with unspoken words, an undercurrent of something neither of them wanted to acknowledge.Ethan leaned back, his chair tilting onto two legs as he stretched, his voice smooth as silk. “You know, Ms. Hayes, I never thought I’d actually enjoy a book you assigned.”She arched an elegant brow, not looking up from the pages. “That’s because you haven’t really been reading them, Mr. Carter.”He smirked, letting the chair fall back onto all fours with a soft thud. “Ouch. You wound me.”Finally, she glanced up, her hazel eyes loc

Chapter 6: Teacher’s Past
Vivian Hayes stood in front of her mirror, running her fingers through her dark auburn locks, her reflection staring back at her with tired eyes. The glow of her bedside lamp cast soft shadows across her delicate features, but there was something distant in her expression—something fractured.Tonight, the past clung to her like a ghost she couldn’t shake.She sat on the edge of her bed, her silk robe loosely draped over her shoulders, revealing the delicate lace of her slip underneath. The room was silent except for the soft hum of the city outside, but inside her mind, voices from the past whispered mercilessly.“You’ll never make it on your own, Vivian. You need structure. Stability.”Her mother’s voice echoed in her ears, laced with disapproval, the same tone she’d always used when Vivian had dared to dream outside of the life mapped out for her. A respectable marriage. A man with power. A life of luxury. A world where feelings were secondary, where duty outweighed desire.Vivian e

Chapter 7: The Pressure Mounts
Ethan Carter slouched in the back of the dimly lit diner, his long fingers drumming against the surface of the table. His usual confidence was intact, but underneath, an unspoken tension simmered. Around him, his friends were laughing, slapping each other on the back, carefree in their teasing.But Ethan could feel the weight of their words."So?" Troy leaned forward, a cocky grin on his face. "Where’s the proof, Carter? You working your magic, or is the ice queen still untouchable?"Ethan smirked, swirling the straw in his soda. "Patience is a virtue, boys."Dylan snorted. "Patience doesn’t win bets. We want results."Jaxon, the most ruthless of the group, leaned in closer. "You’re not chickening out, are you? Because that would be—" He made a dramatic pause, tapping his chin. "Embarrassing."Ethan’s jaw ticked, his blue eyes darkening. He wasn’t about to lose face in front of these guys. He had built his reputation on being untouchable, always in control, always winning.And yet…He

Chapter 8: First Date Setup
 Ethan Carter wasn’t used to waiting. He was the kind of guy who snapped his fingers, and things fell into place. Girls, parties, favors—it all came easy. But Vivian Hayes? She was different. And that difference made him restless, made him itch with the need to push further, to see how far he could go before she broke.That was the real game now.After their last heated exchange, he knew he had to be smart. Vivian was strong, disciplined, always in control. If he came on too strong, she’d shut him down immediately. But if he played it just right, if he gave her a reason to spend time with him outside of class, she wouldn’t even realize what was happening until it was too late.He needed an excuse. And he found one in the most unexpected place.The next day in class, Ethan took his usual seat at the back, twirling a pen between his fingers as he watched her. She was dressed in a fitted blouse and a pencil skirt, her hair neatly pinned bac

Chapter 9: A Moment of Weakness
 The air between them was thick with something unspoken, a slow-burning fire that neither of them dared to acknowledge outright. Vivian sat across from Ethan in the dimly lit café, her fingers gripping the spine of her book a little too tightly, her breath just a little too uneven.She had been careful. She had told herself that their interactions were nothing more than tutoring—a professional obligation. But there were moments, fleeting and dangerous, when she wasn’t so sure anymore.And Ethan? He could sense the crack in her resolve.“Ms. Hayes,” he murmured, his voice like velvet, smooth and rich. “You seem distracted.”Vivian cleared her throat and forced herself to focus on the open book in front of her. “I’m not distracted. Maybe you should be focusing on the material instead of whatever game you think you’re playing.”Ethan leaned in slightly, elbows resting on the table, his proximity making it harder for her to ignore the pull

Chapter 10: Crossing the Line
 The night air was cool against Vivian’s heated skin as she stepped outside the café, but it did little to calm the storm raging inside her. Her hands trembled slightly as she clutched her bag, her heart still pounding from the moment she had fled.Ethan Carter had nearly broken her.And the most dangerous part? A part of her wanted him to.She pressed her fingers against her temples, inhaling deeply. This had to stop. She had to be the adult, the professional, the one in control. If she let herself slip, even for a moment, everything would crumble.But as she turned to head toward her car, she found herself face to face with the very temptation she was trying to escape.Ethan.He had followed her outside, his hands casually tucked into the pockets of his leather jacket, his dark eyes gleaming with something unreadable beneath the streetlights.“Running away, Ms. Hayes?” His voice was smooth, teasing, but there was someth
