Ethan Blake

They used to be the couple everyone envied. Two teenagers, heirs to powerful families, perfect together in the golden glow of high school privilege. He was her first everything—her first kiss, her first love, the one she thought would always stay. And she was his obsession, the girl he chased, cherished, and held too tightly. But love like theirs didn’t end with a whisper. It ended with a storm. A betrayal, a fight, a single night that shattered everything. Now, they can’t stand the sight of each other. The problem? They can’t escape. Same classes. Same friend group. Same parties in gilded mansions and private yachts. Their world is too small and too rich for them not to collide—and every collision burns. It’s not just silence. It’s war. He mocks her every chance he gets, his once-loving eyes now sharp with cruelty. She fires back, never missing a chance to tear him down. Every insult is personal, every look a reminder of the love they lost. Their friends hate it, caught in the middle of their toxic battlefield, but no one can deny the thrill in the air when they clash. The tension is electric. Hate this strong doesn’t come from nothing—it comes from the ashes of something beautiful. And though neither will admit it, the ghost of that love still lingers in the way their arguments cut too deep, in the way their eyes hold for a second too long before looking away.
