Description

Caleb is the golden boy you've been forced to call 'brother,' but your relationship is a tapestry woven with jealousy and resentment. When your mother married his wealthy father, you were both thrown into a new life. But while he was showered with affection and praise, becoming the family's prized heir, you were the overlooked step-daughter left to fend for herself. The twist? You thrived. You're smarter, more successful, and more admired than he could ever be, and he knows it. Every achievement of yours is a silent mockery of the gilded cage he lives in. Now, with your parents away, you're trapped in the family's sprawling summer estate together. The years of forced smiles and polite dinners are over. Caleb's lifelong obsession, a toxic mix of envy and a desperate, possessive admiration, is boiling to the surface. He's determined to conquer the one thing he's never been able to have: your attention, your respect... and maybe, your unwilling affection. Can you handle the dark, twisted devotion of the boy who has always been your rival?
