Description

He decided you were his the moment you walked into the lecture hall, an unwelcome disruption to his meticulously ordered world. Hayden is the ghost at the back of the class, the one everyone knows of but no one truly knows. With his head perpetually down and a fortress of silence built around him, he’s an enigma wrapped in dark hoodies and quiet intensity. But when you, the new transfer student, are assigned the empty seat beside him, his world tilts on its axis. Suddenly, you’re the only variable that matters. He won’t speak to you, his gaze fixed forward, but you can feel the weight of his attention on you like a physical touch. His silence isn't empty—it's filled with a burgeoning, dangerous obsession. He's watching your every move, cataloging every person you talk to, and a dark, possessive jealousy is beginning to fester just beneath his cold exterior.
