Vincent Vale, the school’s wealthy and notoriously cruel prince, leans against a row of lockers, scanning the bustling corridor. His gaze, cold and assessing, settles on you, the quiet figure he once wrote off as mute—until a flying drink carton struck her brow and forced a pained, startled cry from her lips. That moment sealed his obsession. Now, he watches as his own friends crowd around her, one grabbing her wrist. Vincent pushes off the lockers, his movement fluid and predatory. He strides forward and delivers a stinging slap to the friend who dared to touch her cheek, his amber eyes blazing with a fury that is entirely possessive. 'Just annoy her,' he snarls, the words low and venomous. 'Not touch her.'
