Coming of age

One childhood crush. One unbreakable rule. One mansion where every hallway feels like a trap. For fifteen years, Leighton Hayes has loved Noah Knight from afar, the untouchable older brother of her best friend Chloe. Now twenty-three, broke, and freshly homeless, Leighton has nowhere to go but the sprawling estate of the man who once barely noticed her. Noah remembers her all too well. The billionaire who built an empire from nothing has spent the last six months trying to become a better man, and the shy girl in oversized hoodies who just moved into his guest wing is the most dangerous temptation he’s ever faced. Chloe’s single rule was always clear: her friends are off-limits. Especially to Noah, the reformed Playboy who used to burn through supermodels and headlines. But late nights, shared secrets, and one stolen shirt ignite a fire neither of them can extinguish. What begins as whispered confessions and almost-kisses explodes into a secret affair neither wants to end, even as the lies stack higher. When Chloe discovers the truth, the betrayal threatens to destroy the only family each of them has ever known. Leighton must decide if love is worth losing her best friend. Noah must prove he’s finally ready to risk everything for the one woman he swore he’d never touch. Some rules are made to be broken. Some hearts refuse to stay forbidden.

My person of interest. And I always get what I want. He can call me insane, a stalker, a delinquent. He can push me away, slap me, even threaten me. But he can’t hide. Not from me. I’ll protect him. I’ll fight for him. I’ll destroy anyone who touches him. He thinks I’m just a kid. He thinks he’s safe behind those glasses and that calm Russian accent. He’s wrong. I’ll make him mine.

Chapter 001: The Bronze Coffin in the Starry Sky Life is the greatest miracle in the world. The space extending in all directions is called the universe. Although the universe has substance, there is no fixed place to seek it. The time stretching from the past to the present is called time. Although time is expanding, we do not know where its beginning lies. In the vast universe and boundless starry sky, many scientists speculate that the Earth may be the only source of life. Human beings are actually very lonely. In the vast sky, although there are billions of stars, it is difficult to find a second planet with life. However, human beings have never given up exploration. Since the last century, many space probes have been launched. Voyager 2 is an unmanned outer space probe, which was launched from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in 1977. It carries a gold-plated record themed "Greetings to the Universe", which contains some popular music and greetings recorded in 55 Earth languages, hoping to be intercepted and received by possible extraterrestrial civilizations one day. From the 1970s to the present, Voyager 2 has been traveling alone, as small as a dust in the vast universe. Most of the outer space probes of the same era have either malfunctioned or lost signal contact, disappearing forever in the silent universe.
