HATE FLOATS TOGETHER WITH LOVE
Chloe Banks chased Ethan Sterling for three years. She did his calculus, wrote his MBA essays, and brought him lunch he never paid for.
In return she got branded a creep, accused of assault, and expelled.
That was the last straw.
Disgraced in front of High chain university board, his final words before he coldly left:”Girls like you don’t end up with men like me.you end up here “.
She opened her phone and typed two words: Justin Sterling.
If Ethan used money to silence her, she would use money to bury him.
Justin Sterling was the shovel. Ethan’s shy, forgotten younger brother. The coding genius with 30% of the Sterling trust and zero confidence. The boy everyone ignored.
Chloe’s plan was simple: make the nerd fall for her, then use him to dig up every dirty secret in the Sterling empire. She’d start by patching the fraud in Ethan’s new app. Then she’d win the hackathon. Then she’d make Justin smile at her in front of Ethan.
Revenge was a formula. Chloe was top of her class.
But formulas break.
Because Justin doesn’t look at her like Ethan did. He looks at her code first. He blushes when she breathes. He types sudo chloe --access=full and means it.
She came to use him.
She didn’t plan to like the way he says her name.
She didn’t plan to blush back.
He was the shovel. She was the revenge. Together, they’ll bury the Sterlings. Unless love buries them first.
