LOGINHe’s seventeen. She’s twenty. Heir to a billion-dollar empire, Kade Kingston owns everything… except the one thing he wants most. Chelsea Lynch. She scrubs floors at Crawford Elite Royal, but every guy in school whispers about what they’d do to her if they got the chance. Kade doesn’t whisper. He acts. He was supposed to lay low—for six months, heal his injury and stay out of the headlines before the big leagues. Then he sees her. Beautiful. Untouchable. But not for long. She thinks he’s just another spoiled rich kid. She’s wrong. He’s a predator in a school full of wolves, and she’s the only thing he’s hungry for. He’ll ruin anyone who touches her. Break her defenses. And when she begs, he’ll make sure she never forgets who owns her. She’s older. Off-limits. But Kade Kingston doesn’t follow the rules. He makes them. And Chelsea Lynch is about to learn…Some lines are meant to be crossed. ********************** NB: “for those that have read *BINDING 13* and love it, just like i do, this is something similar, I just felt like pouring out my idea out here. I really hope you guys love it.”

THE SCHOLARSHIP{Playlist Suggestion: "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence + The Machine / "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri}~CHELSEA POV~I was standing in the dusty, echoey lobby of our apartment building, staring at the little dented metal mailbox with my name taped to the front of it.And my hands were shaking so completely uncontrollably that I dropped the tiny brass key twice before I could finally get it into the lock.Chase was leaning against the wall next to me, looking healthy and sarcastic and absolutely nothing like the weak boy who had been strapped to a hospital bed just a month ago.And he was tapping his foot impatiently because we both knew exactly what letter I was waiting for."Just open it, Chels," Chase groaned, rolling his eyes as I finally got the little metal door open and pulled out a stack of junk mail. "It's been three weeks since you applied, the portal said the decisions were mailed out on Monday, so it has to be in there."I flipped past a grocery store
LONDON CALLING{Playlist Suggestion: "Castle on the Hill" by Lukas Graham (Cover) / "Ribs" by Lorde}~KADE POV~I was sitting in the cracked red vinyl booth at Ellie's Eats, staring down at a plate of greasy diner fries that I wasn't actually eating, just listening to the comforting, mundane sounds of the bells chiming over the door and the coffee machines hissing in the background.Sitting across from me were Denver and Mia, and they were pressed so close together in their side of the booth that you couldn't even tell where Denver's varsity jacket ended and Mia's oversized sweater began. Their fingers loosely tangled together on the tabletop in this incredibly easy, effortless way that made my chest ache just a little bit, but mostly it just made me really happy for my best friend."So, Knox officially cleared out your dad's office today," Denver was saying, stealing a fry off Mia's plate and easily dodging her half-hearted attempt to slap his hand away. "The news is everywhere, Ka
BROTHER TO BROTHER{Playlist Suggestion: "Brother" by Kodaline / "Let It Go" by James Bay}~KADE POV~I was limping down the brightly lit hallway of Mercy General Hospital at five in the morning, leaning heavily on my black cane, and honestly I felt like my entire body had been thrown into a blender and run over by a truck.But my tiredness was absolutely nothing compared to the chaotic, deep storm of emotions ripping through my chest.Everything had happened so fast over the last few hours that my brain was still struggling to process the fact that Reed Mitchell was currently sitting in a jail cell.My father had been completely stripped of his empire by Knox, and the girl I loved had been hiding the most traumatic, devastating secret of her entire life from me because she thought she had to protect my feelings.But the thing that was messing with my head the most was the truth about my brother.I reached the door to room 402 and pushed it open without knocking, stepping into the hos
