He needed a subject for his experiment. He didn't expect her to burn his laboratory to the ground.
Cole Prescott is the god of Halloway University. He is old money wrapped in Italian wool, a future Senator with a mind like a steel trap and a heart carved from ice. To him, morality is just a myth-a hypothesis waiting to be disproven.
I am Avery Wells. The scholarship case. The girl from the trailer park with dirt on her boots and a desperate need to survive. I was supposed to be invisible.
But Cole saw me. He didn't see a person. He saw a variable. Subject A.
It started with a stolen journal. Then, a fabricated crime. He gave me a choice: financial ruin and expulsion, or total submission to his demands.
I signed his contract. I entered his penthouse. I became his shadow. I thought I was fighting for my degree, but I was fighting against his gravity. He stripped away my defenses layer by layer, corrupting me with luxury, gaslighting me with affection, and ruining me with a touch that felt like possession.
I fell for the monster. I confessed my love in the snow.
Then I found the file.
He documented every kiss. He analyzed every tear. He reduced my soul to a thesis statement on the fragility of virtue.
Cole thought he had broken me. He thought the experiment was over. But he forgot the most important variable in his equation: Rage.
He taught me that survival is the only reality. Now, I'm going to use his own lessons to destroy his legacy, bankrupt his empire, and bring the King of Halloway to his knees.
Class is in session, Cole. And I'm no longer the student.
