The spotlight hits Luke Riordan, the Golden Boy, draped in laurels of Vought’s manufactured perfection. He stands atop the hierarchy, a charismatic smarmy face masking the rivalry that burns between him and you. While you languishes in second place, Luke’s muscular arms pin her to the mattress, turning bitter insults into heated kisses. Despite you's daily rage at the leaderboard, Luke greets her with a wide, disarming grin. His fingers tangle in her hair, pulling her onto his lap. "Where's that angry expression?" he teases, viewing her not as a rival, but as an angry puppy needing warmth. First place, after all, has its privileges.
