00:00You
00:05Tall gorgeous ice-cold expression and somehow painfully familiar down girl
00:10My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him and ever since he got ghost by some online fling
00:15He's been in the worst mood of his life. I swallowed hard Chloe
00:20Your brother's name isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
00:27No freaking way. How do you know that? Whatever hope I had left died right there
00:32I had dated my best friend's brother online and now I was standing in his house months after ghosting him
00:38The odds of this were lower than winning the powerball actually makes sense. We're basically the same person
00:43I probably mentioned his name without thinking. I just stood there frozen Reese Calloway was under the same roof as
00:51me
00:51My heart wouldn't shut up. I kept thinking about an hour ago
00:55When Chloe brought me home Reese had come down the stairs in a robe loosely tied collar open
01:00He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and still owned the room
01:03I stared at him something about that face nagged at me
01:06But Reese just gave me a short nod those dark eyes swept past me like I wasn't even there
01:11Just his little sister's college friend nobody
01:14I never would have connected this man to my clingy filthy mouthed ex from the internet online Reese was a
01:19different species
01:20Every night without fail the pet names the possessiveness the way he talked like I already belonged to him
01:26I was young clueless half the things he said had me wide awake at 2 a.m. With my face
01:31on fire. I bit my lip
01:33So how many girlfriends has your brother had just one?
01:38Online he was really into her then she dumped him out of nowhere cold as hell
01:43He's been terrible ever since
01:45Snapping at everyone if he's rude to you. Don't take it personal
01:48He's like that with everyone right now great. This was fine. Everything was fine
01:56Next morning mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast rye sat across from me
02:01I couldn't stop glancing at him. Then he looked up our eyes met he raised an eyebrow slightly surprised
02:06My heart jumped I looked away, but I could still feel his gaze on me lingering stay as long as
02:11you want sweetheart make yourself at home
02:14Thank you. Mrs. Calloway. I smiled and told myself to relax
02:18Even if Reese and I were under the same roof
02:20There was no way he'd figure out. I was the girl who ghosted him
02:24No way the conversation eventually shifted to Reese. I listened carefully piece things together
02:29Apparently his mom had set him up with someone recently mom. I told you I'm interested in her
02:35We met twice. I can't even remember her face. What exactly do you expect from me?
02:40You reject every girl I find I swear. I don't know when you'll ever wake up
02:45You're in your mid-twenties rice. No girlfriend. Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you even like women
02:52Mom, I promise his orientation is fine. He's just
02:57Romantically unlucky the girl he's waiting for likes to play games. That's all
03:00I wanted to disappear into my plate. I didn't dare make a sound
03:05But of course the universe wasn't done with me
03:07Molly lane
03:08Rise's cold voice cut through the air. I flinched almost dropped my fork
03:12It was just my name
03:13Nothing special about the way he said it but hearing it from his mouth sent a shiver down my spine
03:19Why before I could think his dark eyes were already on me studying me something unreadable behind them
03:25You look guilty. Did you do something you shouldn't have?
03:30My brain short-circuited my face went pale. I had nothing thankfully mrs. Calloway stepped in leave her alone
03:36Molly is our guest
03:38Be nice
03:42Wow, bro. I mentioned molly's name once and you already memorized it
03:46Everyone laughed. I kept my head down and said nothing
03:49I didn't notice reese narrowing his eyes at me from across the table
03:53Chloe had a fever the past couple days after breakfast
03:56She took some medicine and went back to her room. I did some homework went downstairs for water saw mrs.
04:01Calloway grabbing her keys
04:04Auntie, where are you heading out?
04:06That son of mine rushed out this morning and forgot his documents now. I have to drive all the way
04:12to his office
04:14He's never this clearless. I don't know what's gotten into him
04:17My hand moved before my brain did I can take them you should rest. Oh, no, I couldn't ask you
04:23to do that
04:23Really, it's fine. I've got nothing else to do. Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay
04:28The least I could do was help with something small. She couldn't argue with me
04:32Eventually, she texted me the company address
04:36In the uber I pulled out my phone and searched reese's name the results were unanimous ruthless in business
04:42Decisive sharp hard to imagine a guy like that dating someone online back then I was in high school
04:48My parents had just divorced life was miserable
04:50I spent every night on discord playing with strangers just to feel less alone
04:54That's where I met to rest
04:56I figured it still counted as a relationship even if we'd never met face to face dopamine was dopamine
05:01It made me feel something for a little while, but I was careful
05:04I lied about my age told him. I just graduated college never gave him my real name unlike most people
05:09I never sent photos never answered his video calls
05:12The only thing I allowed was a 30 minute voice call every night rise on the other hand gave me
05:18everything
05:18He venmo'd me money all the time random amounts for no reason get yourself something nice
05:23You haven't eaten order food the amounts were insane
05:27I always sent it all back. All I wanted was emotional comfort. I never planned a future with him
05:32Why would I take his money too? Then he got clingier one day?
05:34He said he wanted to meet in person. I had two weeks until my finals meet in person. That was
05:39insane
05:39I thought about it for a long time
05:41Then I typed out the message no point meeting up. I'm kind of over this. Let's end it
05:45I hit send blocked him on discord unfriended him on everything deleted our entire chat history
05:51I thought after all this time Reese would have forgotten about us
05:54But from the way Chloe talked about him it sounded like he hadn't moved on at all
06:00This was my first time at Reese's office apparently he owned the entire building
06:05Must be nice being rich the receptionist led me to the top floor the elevator dinged open the second my
06:11eyes met Reese's
06:12I froze backlit by the windows his sharp features carried an edge that almost felt dangerous
06:18So this was what he looked like at work something squeezed tight in my chest a group of board members
06:24trailed behind him
06:25He looked all older than him by at least a decade. None of them came close to matching his presence
06:29He looked like he was born to lead the hallway went quiet for a second
06:33Someone looked at me with obvious curiosity
06:36Mr. Calloway and this is their stairs were anything but subtle
06:40Rise's gaze landed on me. He paused then without making a big deal of it. He stepped slightly in front
06:45of me a friend
06:47Not his sister's classmate a friend. Mr. Calloway. This young lady says she's here to deliver your documents
06:53Got it. Take her to my office
06:55He pressed the elevator button seemed like he had somewhere else to be
06:59I thought about it for a second then I handed the documents to the receptionist
07:04Well, since these are delivered i'll get going
07:07Don't want to be in the way
07:13Did I say you could leave
07:17So how many drinks was the penalty?
07:18Some girl in the group answered face bright red
07:21He ate
07:21Rise didn't even glance at her his throat bobbed as he tilted his head back and downed glass after glass
07:27All ate one after another without stopping then he grabbed my hand stood up
07:32Sorry, I need to borrow her for a minute
07:36Carry on
07:38I lied about my age and dated a guy online. He was six years older than me in real life
07:43He was a ceo cold untouchable barely human online completely different person
07:48Called me baby called me wifey like he couldn't help himself
07:51Said he'd get on his knees for me anytime. I asked I couldn't take how obsessed he was
07:56So I dumped him and blocked him on everything
07:58Over spring break. I stayed at my best friend chloe's place and ran straight into her older brother
08:03Tall gorgeous ice-cold expression and somehow painfully familiar down girl
08:09My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him and ever since he got ghosted by some online fling

15:01Did I say you could leave?
15:03Something reckless took over
15:04I grabbed the back of his neck and bit down on his lip
15:06His whole body shuddered. When he spoke, his voice was wrecked
15:09Molly
15:11Just hold on a little longer
15:13Please
15:14I don't know what's in that drug
15:16I'm not gonna risk your body
15:17I can't
15:18I lied about my age and dated a guy online
15:20He was six years older than me
15:22In real life, he was a CEO
15:23Cold, untouchable, barely human
15:25Online, completely different person
15:28Called me baby, called me wifey like he couldn't help himself

15:46And somehow painfully familiar
15:48Down girl
15:49My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him
15:52And ever since he got ghosted by some online fling
15:54He's been in the worst mood of his life
15:56I swallowed hard
15:57Chloe
15:59Your brother's name isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
16:03No freaking way! How do you know that?
16:06Whatever hope I had left died right there
16:08I had dated my best friend's brother online
16:11And now I was standing in his house
16:12Months after ghosting him
16:14The odds of this were lower than winning the Powerball
16:17Actually, makes sense
16:18We're basically the same person
16:20I probably mentioned his name without thinking
16:23I just stood there
16:24Frozen
16:25Reese Calloway was under the same roof as me
16:27My heart wouldn't shut up
16:29I kept thinking about an hour ago
16:31When Chloe brought me home
16:32Reese had come down the stairs in a robe
16:34Loosely tied, collar open
16:36He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and still owned the room
16:39I stared at him
16:40Something about that face nagged at me
16:42But Reese just gave me a short nod
16:45Those dark eyes swept past me like I wasn't even there
16:47Just his little sister's college friend
16:50Nobody
16:50I never would have connected this man to my clingy, filthy-mouthed ex from the internet
16:55Online Reese was a different species
16:57Every night without fail
16:58The pet names, the possessiveness, the way he talked like I already belonged to him
17:03I was young, clueless
17:04Half the things he said had me wide awake at 2am with my face on fire
17:08I bit my lip
17:09So, how many girlfriends has your brother had?
17:12Just one
17:13Online
17:14He was really into her
17:16Then she dumped him out of nowhere
17:17Cold as hell
17:19He's been terrible ever since
17:22Snapping at everyone
17:23If he's rude to you, don't take it personal
17:25He's like that with everyone right now
17:27Great, this was fine
17:29Everything was fine
17:30Next morning, Mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast
17:33Rice sat across from me
17:35I couldn't stop glancing at him
17:36Then he looked up
17:37Our eyes met
17:38He raised an eyebrow
17:39Slightly surprised
17:40My heart jumped
17:41I looked away
17:42But I could still feel his gaze on me
17:44Lingering
17:44Stay as long as you want, sweetheart
17:46Make yourself at home
17:48Thank you, Mrs. Calloway
17:49I smiled and told myself to relax
17:52Even if Reese and I were under the same roof
17:54There was no way he'd figure out I was the girl who ghosted him
17:58No way, the conversation eventually shifted to Reese
18:01I listened carefully
18:02Pieced things together, apparently
18:04His mom had set him up with someone recently
18:06Mom, I told you
18:08I'm interested in her
18:09We met twice
18:11I can't even remember her face
18:12What exactly do you expect from me?
18:14You reject every girl I find
18:16I swear, I don't know when you'll ever wake up
18:19You're in your mid-twenties, Rice
18:21No girlfriend
18:22Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you even like women
18:26Mom, I promise his orientation is fine
18:29He's just romantically unlucky
18:32The girl he's waiting for likes to play games, that's all
18:35I wanted to disappear into my plate
18:37I didn't dare make a sound
18:39But of course, the universe wasn't done with me
18:41Molly Lane
18:42Rise's cold voice cut through the air
18:44I flinched, almost dropped my fork
18:46It was just my name
18:47Nothing special about the way he said it
18:50But hearing it from his mouth sent a shiver down my spine
18:53Why before I could think, his dark eyes were already on me
18:56Studying me, something unreadable behind them
18:59You look guilty
19:00Did you do something you shouldn't have?
19:02My brain short-circuited
19:03My face went pale
19:04I had nothing
19:05Thankfully, Mrs. Calloway stepped in
19:07Leave her alone
19:08Molly is our guest
19:10Be nice
19:14Wow, bro
19:15I mentioned Molly's name once and you already memorized it
19:18Everyone laughed
19:19I kept my head down and said nothing
19:21I didn't notice Reese narrowing his eyes at me from across the table
19:24Chloe had a fever the past couple days
19:27After breakfast, she took some medicine and went back to her room
19:30I did some homework
19:31Went downstairs for water
19:32Saw Mrs. Calloway grabbing her keys
19:36Auntie, where are you heading out?
19:38That son of mine
19:39Rushed out this morning and forgot his documents
19:42Now I have to drive all the way to his office
19:46He's never this clear-less
19:47I don't know what's gotten into him
19:49My hand moved before my brain did
19:51I can take them
19:52You should rest
19:53Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that
19:55Really, it's fine
19:57I've got nothing else to do
19:58Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay
20:00The least I could do was help with something small
20:02She couldn't argue with me
20:04Eventually, she texted me the company address
20:06In the Uber, I pulled out my phone and searched Reese's name
20:09The results were unanimous
20:11Ruthless in business
20:12Decisive
20:13Sharp hard to imagine a guy like that dating someone online
20:16Back then, I was in high school
20:17My parents had just divorced
20:19Life was miserable
20:20I spent every night on Discord
20:22Playing with strangers just to feel less alone
20:24That's where I met to rest
20:25I figured it still counted as a relationship
20:27Even if we'd never met face-to-face
20:29Dopamine was dopamine
20:30It made me feel something for a little while
20:33But I was careful
20:33I lied about my age
20:35Told him I'd just graduated college
20:37Never gave him my real name
20:38Unlike most people
20:39I never sent photos
20:40Never answered his video calls
20:42The only thing I allowed was a 30-minute voice call every night
20:46Rise, on the other hand, gave me everything
20:48He Venmo'd me money all the time
20:50Random amounts for no reason
20:52Get yourself something nice
20:53You haven't eaten
20:54Order food
20:55The amounts were insane
20:57I always sent it all back
20:58All I wanted was emotional comfort
21:00I never planned a future with him
21:01Why would I take his money too?
21:03Then he got clingier
21:04One day, he said he wanted to meet in person
21:06I had two weeks until my finals
21:07Meet in person?
21:08That was insane
21:09I thought about it for a long time
21:11Then I typed out the message
21:12No point meeting up
21:13I'm kind of over this
21:14Let's end it
21:15I hit send
21:16Blocked him on discord
21:17Unfriended him on everything
21:18Deleted our entire chat history
21:20I thought after all this time
21:22Reese would've forgotten about us
21:24But from the way Chloe talked about him
21:26It sounded like he hadn't moved on at all
21:28This was my first time at Reese's office
21:30Apparently he owned the entire building
21:32Must be nice being rich
21:34The receptionist led me to the top floor
21:36The elevator dinged open
21:38The second my eyes met Reese's
21:39I froze
21:40Backlit by the windows
21:41His sharp features carried an edge
21:44That almost felt dangerous
21:45So this was what he looked like at work
21:47Something squeezed tight in my chest
21:50A group of board members trailed behind him
21:52All older than him by at least a decade
21:54None of them came close to matching his presence
21:57He looked like he was born to lead
21:59The hallway went quiet for a second
22:01Someone looked at me with obvious curiosity
22:03Mr. Calloway
22:04And this is
22:05Their stares were anything but subtle
22:07Rice's gaze landed on me
22:09He paused then
22:10Without making a big deal of it
22:12He stepped slightly in front of me
22:13A friend?
22:14Not his sister's classmate
22:16A friend
22:16Mr. Calloway
22:17This young lady says she's here to deliver your documents
22:20Got it
22:21Take her to my office
22:22He pressed the elevator button
22:24Seemed like he had somewhere else to be
22:26I thought about it for a second
22:28Then I handed the documents to the receptionist
22:31Well, since these are delivered
22:33I'll get going
22:35Don't want to be in the way
22:40Did I say you could leave?
22:42When you dumped me
22:43You said you were bored
22:46I'm not boring anymore
22:48Whatever you didn't like about me
22:50I'll change
22:51All of it
22:53Molly, just come back to me
22:56I won't hold any of it against you
22:58Riss, are you insane?
23:00You know that I
23:00I know
23:01I'm making a bet
23:03That one day
23:05You'll actually fall for me
23:06I lied about my age
23:07And dated a guy online
23:09He was six years older than me
23:10In real life, he was a CEO
23:12Cold, untouchable, barely human
23:14Online, completely different person
23:16Called me baby
23:17Called me wifey
23:18Like he couldn't help himself
23:19Said he'd get on his knees for me
23:21Anytime I asked
23:22I couldn't take how obsessed he was
23:24So I dumped him
23:25And blocked him on everything
23:27Over spring break
23:28I stayed at my best friend Chloe's place
23:30And ran straight into her older brother
23:32Tall, gorgeous
23:33Ice cold expression
23:34And somehow
23:35Painfully familiar
23:37Down girl
23:38My brother hates girls
23:39Who throw themselves at him
23:40And ever since he got ghost
23:42By some online fling
23:43He's been in the worst mood of his life
23:44I swallowed hard
23:45Chloe
23:48Your brother's name
23:49Isn't Reese Calloway
23:50Is it?
23:52No freaking way
23:53How do you know that?
23:55Whatever hope I had left
23:56Died right there
23:57I had dated my best friend's brother online
23:59And now I was standing in his house
24:01Months after ghosting him
24:03The odds of this were lower
24:04Than winning the Powerball
24:05Actually, makes sense
24:07We're basically the same person
24:09I probably mentioned his name
24:11Without thinking
24:11I just stood there
24:13Frozen
24:13Reese Calloway
24:15Reese Calloway was under the same roof as me
24:16My heart wouldn't shut up
24:18I kept thinking about an hour ago
24:20When Chloe brought me home
24:21Reese had come down the stairs in a robe
24:23Loosely tied
24:24Collar open
24:25He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed
24:27And still owned the room
24:28I stared at him
24:29Something about that face nagged at me
24:31But Reese just gave me a short nod
24:33Those dark eyes swept past me
24:35Like I wasn't even there
24:36Just his little sister's college friend
24:38Nobody
24:39I never would have connected this man
24:41To my clingy, filthy-mouthed ex from the internet
24:43Online Reese was a different species
24:45Every night without fail
24:47The pet names
24:48The possessiveness
24:49The way he talked like I already belonged to him
24:51I was young
24:52Clueless
24:53Half the things he said
24:54Had me wide awake at 2am
24:56With my face on fire
24:57I bit my lip
24:58So, how many girlfriends has your brother had?
25:01Just one
25:02Online
25:03He was really into her
25:05Then she dumped him out of nowhere
25:06Cold as hell
25:08He's been terrible ever since
25:10Snapping at everyone
25:11If he's rude to you, don't take it personal
25:14He's like that with everyone right now
25:16Great
25:17This was fine
25:18Everything was fine
25:19Next morning, Mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast
25:22Ry sat across from me
25:23I couldn't stop glancing at him
25:25Then he looked up
25:26Our eyes met
25:27He raised an eyebrow
25:28Slightly surprised
25:29My heart jumped
25:30I looked away
25:31But I could still feel his gaze on me
25:32Lingering
25:33Stay as long as you want, sweetheart
25:35Make yourself at home
25:37Thank you, Mrs. Calloway
25:38I smiled and told myself to relax
25:40Even if Reese and I were under the same roof
25:43There was no way he'd figure out
25:45I was the girl who ghosted him
25:46No way
25:47The conversation eventually shifted to Reese
25:49I listened carefully
25:51Pieced things together
25:52Apparently
25:52His mom had set him up with someone recently
25:55Mom, I told you
25:57I'm interested in her
25:58We met twice
25:59I can't even remember her face
26:01What exactly do you expect from me?
26:03You reject every girl I find
26:05I swear
26:06I don't know when you'll ever wake up
26:08You're in your mid-twenties, Rice
26:10No girlfriend
26:11Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you even like women
26:15Mom, I promise his orientation is fine
26:18He's just romantically unlucky
26:20The girl he's waiting for likes to play games, that's all
26:23I wanted to disappear into my plate
26:26I didn't dare make a sound
26:27But of course, the universe wasn't done with me
26:30Molly Lane
26:31Rice's cold voice cut through the air
26:33I flinched, almost dropped my fork
26:35It was just my name
26:36Nothing special about the way he said it
26:38But hearing it from his mouth sent a shiver down my spine
26:41Why before I could think, his dark eyes were already on me
26:45Studying me, something unreadable behind them
26:47You look guilty
26:49Did you do something you shouldn't have?
26:51My brain short-circuited
26:52My face went pale
26:53I had nothing
26:54Thankfully, Mrs. Calloway stepped in
26:56Leave her alone
26:57Molly is our guest
26:59Be nice
27:02Wow, bro
27:03I mentioned Molly's name once and you already memorized it
27:06Everyone laughed
27:07I kept my head down and said nothing
27:09I didn't notice Reese narrowing his eyes at me from across the table
27:13Chloe had a fever the past couple days
27:15After breakfast, she took some medicine and went back to her room
27:19I did some homework
27:20Went downstairs for water
27:21Saw Mrs. Calloway grabbing her keys
27:24Auntie, where are you heading out?
27:27That son of mine
27:28Rushed out this morning and forgot his documents
27:31Now I have to drive all the way to his office
27:34He's never this clearless
27:36I don't know what's gotten into him
27:38My hand moved before my brain did
27:40I can take them
27:41You should rest
27:42Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that
27:44Really, it's fine
27:45I've got nothing else to do
27:46Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay
27:49The least I could do was help with something small
27:51She couldn't argue with me
27:52Eventually, she texted me the company address
27:55In the Uber, I pulled out my phone and searched Reese's name
27:58The results were unanimous
27:59Ruthless in business
28:00Decisive
28:01Sharp hard to imagine a guy like that dating someone online
28:05Back then, I was in high school
28:06My parents had just divorced
28:08Life was miserable
28:09I spent every night on Discord
28:10Playing with strangers just to feel less alone
28:13That's where I met to rest
28:14I figured it still counted as a relationship
28:16Even if we'd never met face to face
28:18Dopamine was dopamine
28:19It made me feel something for a little while
28:21But I was careful
28:22I lied about my age
28:23Told him I'd just graduated college
28:25Never gave him my real name
28:27Unlike most people
28:28I never sent photos
28:29Never answered his video calls
28:31The only thing I allowed was a 30 minute voice call every night
28:34Rise, on the other hand, gave me everything
28:36He Venmo'd me money all the time
28:38Random amounts for no reason
28:40Get yourself something nice
28:41You haven't eaten
28:43Order food
28:44The amounts were insane
28:45I always sent it all back
28:47All I wanted was emotional comfort
28:48I never planned a future with him
28:50Why would I take his money too?
28:51Then he got clingier
