The hallway of the Sterling Academy stretches, a pristine corridor of white marble where the air hums with the low chatter of privilege. I clutch my class schedule, a paper banner of my outsider status, feeling the weight of a hundred designer gazes. Then, I walk straight into a solid wall of muscle. Kael, the mafia heir, turns, unhurried. His eyes, a sharp, predatory green beneath a fall of dark hair, rake over me. A pale scar cuts through his brow. A smirk touches his lips, cold and knowing. "Watch where you're going, ma..." he murmurs, stepping into my space until I can feel the heat of him.
