-Blake West :
I used to think being chubby made me special. Turns out, it just made me an easier target. But at my boarding school, I had friends who saw me—the real me. And today? My mom’s coming. She promised.
She’s a superstar. And no matter how many shows she plays or flights she takes, I still believe in her. I still believe in her hugs, her laugh, and her stories—especially the one about the masked thief known as The Thief V.
But when her helicopter explodes right in front of me, everything I know burns with it.
Now I’m living in a mansion that technically belongs to me, but it doesn’t feel like home. Not when Zade Collins—my childhood best friend turned something more—is pretending nothing happened between us. Not when his mother, his sister, and his girlfriend remind me every day that my body isn’t good enough.
And yet… it was Zade who confessed first.
Then everything fell apart.
- Zade Collins :
Blake West was my childhood. My everything. And I ruined it.
One mistake—or what looked like one—sent him running. I don’t know why he left. I don’t know why the way he left made me feel like I betrayed him. I just know the hole he left behind hurts more than anything.
But I’ll find out the truth.
I have to.
Even if it means becoming someone else—someone darker, someone fearless. Maybe even stepping into the legend of “The thief V” himself.
Because if Blake won’t let me love him as Zade Collins, then maybe… maybe he’ll fall for the stranger I’ll have to become.
