The Dangerous Dance of Obsession and Desire
What happens when the line between hatred and attraction blurs beyond recognition? In the hallways of Royal Elite School, sixteen-year-old Elsa's modest dreams of academic excellence and a Cambridge future shatter the moment she catches Aiden King's attention. As the heir to King Enterprises and part-owner of the school, Aiden doesn't just rule the social hierarchy-he weaponizes it. When he pins Elsa against a wall and promises, "I will destroy you," it's not just a threat but a vow that will define the next two years of her life. His silver eyes burn with inexplicable hatred as he orchestrates her social isolation, spreads vicious rumors, and turns her dream school into a psychological battlefield. The mystery deepens: why would someone with unlimited wealth, power, and privilege fixate on destroying a scholarship student with no connections? This question creates an invisible thread binding them together in a relationship charged with fear, fascination, and forbidden attraction-where the predator may become prey to his own obsession.
