Every argument felt like a battle. Every glance lasted a second too long. Somewhere between sarcasm, stolen moments, and secrets neither of us dared to confess, I made the biggest mistake of my life… I fell for him. Then he left. No explanation. No goodbye. Just a broken promise and a heart I swore I’d never let him touch again. Years later, fate throws us back into each other’s lives but not as roommates, but as business rivals. The hatred between us burns hotter than ever, but so does everything we never managed to bury. They say first love never dies but I wish mine had.
