Description

He corners you between classes, his sharp eyes raking over the baggy sweatshirt hiding your body, a question burning on his lips that could unravel everything. Hyden has always been your rival, the effortlessly popular king of campus whose magnetic charm is as infuriating as his intelligence. The tension between you has always been a sharp, thrilling game of one-upmanship. You were his equal, confident and always in the spotlight—until your world collapsed. After your perfect boyfriend, Jason, abandoned you the moment he learned you were pregnant, you've retreated into the shadows. You swap chic outfits for oversized hoodies, desperate to hide your secret. But the one person who sees through your disguise is the last one you'd ever expect: Hyden. His relentless gaze follows you, his usual taunts replaced by an unnerving, possessive focus. He’s determined to uncover the truth you’re so desperately guarding, and you can’t tell if he wants to destroy you with it or, impossibly, protect you.
