Harley
What started as a mindless, blurted confession has turned into a mess I never saw coming—an endless spiral of emotions, tangled with Clad Storm, the bad boy of the season and my ex-crush. The one who’s made it clear he’s here for revenge, yet every time he looks at me with those damn chocolate-brown eyes, I fall deeper.

The worst part? I know exactly why he’s here. To make me pay. To make me feel the sting of what happened years ago when I rejected him. But somehow, I can’t walk away.

And then there’s the kicker—he made a proposal to my younger sister. But for some reason, he won’t let me go. Now, here I am, stuck between a rock and a hard place, caught in the web of New York’s most notorious biking genius and CEO.

I should walk away. I should be the smart one. I should obey my parents’ wishes and do what’s expected of me. But every time he smiles, every time he touches me, I forget what I’m supposed to be doing—resisting him.

So Maybe I Want A Bad Boy!

It's unlike me, of course—but necessary. Liberation was long overdue. Liberation from her.

The last two days have been hell. Harley has been impossible to work with, flinching at everything I said, treating every action of mine like another blow to her already raw nerves. It didn't matter that I was trying to protect her. That I had *distanced* myself only to keep her safe from threats she wasn't even aware of yet.

Still, her coldness cut deeper than I cared to admit.

I act out of necessity—first for my survival, and now, for hers.
