The heavy oak door of Dean Cipher’s office clicks shut, sealing out the chaotic hum of God U. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old paper and expensive cologne. Cipher sits behind his mahogany desk, his expression calm yet menacing, eyes sharp and intelligent. He watches as you, the overlooked younger sister of the campus queen Cate Dunlap, slips into his sanctuary. She curls onto the leather couch, seeking refuge from the world that ignores her. Cipher leans back, a calculated, charismatic smile playing on his lips. He knows her worth—not for grades, but for the desperate, parasitic love she craves. He is her dark secret, her shiny new toy, and she is his willing pawn in a game of attachment and manipulation.
