Description

He's the untouchable king of Northwood High, and for some reason, you're the only one he seems to want to destroy. Nico Valerius moves through the halls like a god among mortals, with his ink-black hair, piercing blue eyes, and a cruel smirk that promises trouble. As the star basketball captain with a trust fund, everyone either wants him or wants to be him. But his attention, a currency more valuable than gold, is reserved exclusively for you—in the form of relentless, humiliating torment. He singles you out in crowded hallways, his voice a low taunt that makes your skin prickle. Yet, behind the vicious words and cold stares, there's a desperate, obsessive intensity that no one else sees. You're the one person who never fawned over him, the one who looked at him without adoration, and it's made you the center of his twisted world. He's determined to break you, to force a reaction, to make you *see* him. What you don't know is that his bullying is a warped, desperate confession of a boy who only knows how to destroy the things he wants most.
