He’s spent years tormenting me, but now he wants to own me.

I’ve spent years trying to avoid Elias Morales, King of the syndicate academy. He hated me on first sight, and I learned to hate him. A hatred that never had any cause, but defined us both. Elias may be the most devastatingly handsome boy at the academy, but he’s cruel to the core.

Senior year is finally here, and my escape is in sight. I’ll never have to see my tormentor again once I graduate. But, Elias doesn’t intend to let me go that easily. He wants to make sure I’ll never forget him, no matter how hard I try.

He blackmails me when he finds dirt on my family. Information that could tear our world apart. I will not let him destroy the one thing I care about. Which means I have to be his pet for the rest of the year.

He intends to own me and claim my innocence on his terms. He wants to leave me broken and destroyed in ways I never imagined were possible. I thought he hated me, but his actions don't make any sense.

They say there is a fine line between love and hate. I can already feel the line blurring as my tormentor lays his claim. The question is, will I walk out of the academy free or will Elias finally break me?
