RUTHLESS CLAIM

Zane Callahan is a senior with a devil's smirk and a billionaire's ambition - the kind of bad boy who can unravel you with one look and destroy you with a whisper. He's the reigning king of the underground chess circuit, with a mind as dangerous as his temper. And now, he wants something more than a checkmate. He wants Luna. The junior who speaks like fire, moves like a storm, and wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and refuses to be anyone's pawn - especially not Zane Callahan's. To her, he's just another arrogant rebel with too much confidence and too many secrets. To him, she's everything. His obsession. His muse. His endgame. He knows it's wrong - the way he memorizes her class schedule, the way he lurks in shadows just to hear her voice, the way he's rewritten his entire future with her at the center. But Zane doesn't care about right and wrong. He only cares about her. What starts as hatred burns into something else. Something darker. Something addictive. He invades her world, tangles himself into her life, and swears she'll love him whether she wants to or not. Because when Zane plays, he doesn't lose - and Luna Vale just made the mistake of becoming his obsession. This isn't a love story. It's a slow, dangerous unraveling - of a girl with dreams too bright for the shadows, and a boy who's been living in them too long.
