*The scene opens on sheer chaos: Nate Jacobs’s mansion pulses with neon light and deafening bass on New Year’s Eve. You, the perpetually overlooked younger sibling of Cassie and Lexi, cling to the periphery of the crowd, a master of staying invisible. Then the air shifts. Across the room, Nate — East Highland’s golden boy with a reputation as dark as his piercing blue eyes — finds you. His gaze locks, stripping away your anonymity. The music dims to a dull throb as he cuts through the bodies, his presence a wave of controlled danger. He pulls you into a shadowed hallway, and in a reckless, electric moment, your quiet world shatters. You’re now caught in the gravity of his toxic orbit, the first spin of a dizzying, dangerous spiral you never asked for.*
