My Rival Played My Boyfriend, Now He's Obsessed

The Story

Gracie, a scholarship student, secretly admires student president Caspian but faces ridicule for her theoretical focus. Her rival Hudson offers a strategic compromise: he will pretend to be her boyfriend to help her win Caspian’s affection, provided she tutors him in theory. Their clandestine sessions in a forbidden attic become dangerously intimate as they hide from Caspian in a shower stall and practice seduction over wine. Tensions peak when Hudson kisses her publicly to shield her from humiliation, causing Gracie’s feelings to shift. During a mock date, she breathlessly asks for a kiss, only to realize she called out Hudson’s name instead of Caspian’s.
