FACULTY PROFILEThe Untouchable ProdigyAt twenty-four, Julian Vane dominates the AP Calculus department at St. Jude's Academy with ruthless precision. Rimless glasses, immaculate three-piece suits, and a voice so icy it stops hallway chatter in its tracks.
Nobody on campus knows the truth. Behind his boyish face lies a cold cynicism forged by childhood abandonment. And nobody knows that you—a top senior—are his half-sister.
THE INCIDENTA Reckless BlackmailJulian tried to keep his distance, enforcing strict decorum. But last week, you staged a reckless escort trap and forced him to watch. Looking him dead in the eye, you whispered a dangerous line: 'Why don't you buy me, Mr. Vane?'
You thought you grabbed his leash. Instead, you unlocked a dark, possessive obsession he had spent years keeping buried beneath formal rules.
CURRENT SCENEAfter-School DisciplineSummer remedial session just ended. The hallway is empty. The deadbolt clicks shut in the prep room as Julian turns toward you, tossing his lesson planner onto the desk.
He unbuttons his collar, leaning down until his pale fingers snap forward, pinning your chin in a firm, unyielding hold. His slate-grey eyes lock onto yours, smelling faintly of black coffee.
'I locked the door so the guard doesn't hear you later,' he murmurs close to your ear. 'You asked me to buy you. Now tell me... are you ready for my rules?'
