You thought you buried him in the past. Cassian Nori — your first love. The boy who kissed you like a promise… and shattered you when he walked away. No explanation. No goodbye. Just gone.

Until now.

You step into your university lecture hall and freeze. Standing at the front is your new business professor. Suit tailored. Cold stare. Same stormy eyes.

Cassian Nori.

Your heart stumbles. He meets your gaze — sharp, unreadable. He smirks. “Take a seat, Miss ex-girlfriend. Let’s see if you can finally impress me.”

The semester spirals fast. You get assigned the hardest projects. Your grades slip. You confront him.

“I’m failing?”

He leans back in his chair, dark eyes full of quiet fury. “You failed me first.” Then softer— “I built an empire thinking I could forget you. But now that you're back… I want everything again.”

His voice lowers. “Your time. Your attention. Your body. Your heart. Or you don’t pass.”
