00:30Whatever hope I had left died right there
00:32I had dated my best friend's brother online
00:34And now I was standing in his house
00:36Months after ghosting him
00:38The odds of this were lower than winning the Powerball
00:40Actually, makes sense
00:42We're basically the same person
00:43I probably mentioned his name without thinking
00:46I just stood there
00:48Frozen
00:48Reese Calloway was under the same roof as me
00:51My heart wouldn't shut up
00:53I kept thinking about an hour ago
00:55When Chloe brought me home
00:56Reese had come down the stairs in a robe
00:58Loosely tied, collar open
01:00He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed
01:02And still owned the room
01:03I stared at him
01:04Something about that face nagged at me
01:06But Reese just gave me a short nod
01:08Those dark eyes swept past me like I wasn't even there
01:11Just his little sister's college friend
01:13Nobody
01:14I never would have connected this man
01:16To my clingy, filthy-mouthed ex from the internet
01:18Online Reese was a different species
01:20Every night without fail
01:22The pet names, the possessiveness
01:24The way he talked like I already belonged to him
01:26I was young, clueless
01:28Half the things he said had me wide awake at 2am
01:31With my face on fire
01:32I bit my lip
01:33So, how many girlfriends has your brother had?
01:36Just one
01:37Online
01:38He was really into her
01:39Then she dumped him out of nowhere
01:41Cold as hell
01:43He's been terrible ever since
01:45Snapping at everyone
01:46If he's rude to you, don't take it personal
01:48He's like that with everyone right now
01:51Great, this was fine
01:53Everything was fine
01:56Next morning, Mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast
01:59Rise sat across from me
02:01I couldn't stop glancing at him
02:02Then he looked up
02:03Our eyes met
02:04He raised an eyebrow
02:05Slightly surprised
02:06My heart jumped
02:07I looked away
02:08But I could still feel his gaze on me
02:10Lingering
02:10Stay as long as you want, sweetheart
02:12Make yourself at home
02:14Thank you, Mrs. Calloway
02:15I 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
02:22I was the girl who ghosted him
02:24No way, the conversation eventually shifted to Reese
02:27I listened carefully
02:28Pieced things together
02:29Apparently
02:30His mom had set him up with someone recently
02:32Mom, I told you
02:34I'm interested in her
02:35We met twice
02:37I can't even remember her face
02:38What exactly do you expect from me?
02:40You reject every girl I find
02:42I swear, I don't know when you'll ever wake up
02:45You're in your mid-twenties, Rice
02:47No girlfriend
02:48Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you even like women
02:52Mom, I promise his orientation is fine
02:55He's just romantically unlucky
02:58The girl he's waiting for likes to play games, that's all
03:00I wanted to disappear into my plate
03:03I 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
03:10I flinched, almost dropped my fork
03:12It was just my name
03:13Nothing special about the way he said it
03:16But hearing it from his mouth sent a shiver down my spine
03:19Why, before I could think
03:20His dark eyes were already on me
03:22Studying me
03:23Something unreadable behind them
03:25You look guilty
03:26Did you do something you shouldn't have?
03:30My brain short-circuited
03:31My face went pale
03:32I had nothing
03:33Thankfully, Mrs. Calloway stepped in
03:35Leave her alone
03:36Molly is our guest
03:39Be nice
03:42Wow, bro
03:43I mentioned Molly's name once
03:44And you already memorized it
03:46Everyone laughed
03:47I 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
03:55After breakfast, she took some medicine and went back to her room
03:58I did some homework
03:59Went downstairs for water
04:01Saw Mrs. Calloway grabbing her keys
04:04Auntie, where are you heading out?
04:06That son of mine
04:08Rushed out this morning and forgot his documents
04:10Now I have to drive all the way to his office
04:14He's never this clairless
04:15I don't know what's gotten into him
04:17My hand moved before my brain did
04:19I can take them
04:20You should rest
04:21Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that
04:23Really, it's fine
04:25I've got nothing else to do
04:26Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay
04:28The least I could do was help with something small
04:30She 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
04:39The results were unanimous
04:41Ruthless in business
04:42Decisive
04:43Sharp hard to imagine a guy like that dating someone online
04:46Back then, I was in high school
04:48My parents had just divorced
04:49Life was miserable
04:50I spent every night on Discord
04:52Playing with strangers just to feel less alone
04:54That's where I met to rest
04:56I figured it still counted as a relationship
04:58Even if we'd never met face to face
05:00Dopamine was dopamine
05:01It made me feel something for a little while
05:03But I was careful
05:04I lied about my age
05:05Told him I'd just graduated college
05:07Never gave him my real name
05:08Unlike most people
05:09I never sent photos
05:11Never answered his video calls
05:12The only thing I allowed was a 30 minute voice call every night
05:16Rise, on the other hand, gave me everything
05:18He Venmo'd me money all the time
05:20Random amounts for no reason
05:22Get yourself something nice
05:23You haven't eaten
05:25Order food
05:25The amounts were insane
05:27I always sent it all back
05:28All I wanted was emotional comfort
05:30I never planned a future with him
05:32Why would I take his money too?
05:33Then he got clingier
05:34One day, he said he wanted to meet in person
05:36I had two weeks until my finals
05:38Meet in person?
05:39That was insane
05:39I thought about it for a long time
05:41Then I typed out the message
05:42No point meeting up
05:43I'm kind of over this
05:44Let's end it
05:45I hit send
05:46Blocked him on discord
05:47Unfriended him on everything
05:48Deleted our entire chat history
05:51I thought after all this time
05:52Reese would've forgotten about us
05:54But from the way Chloe talked about him
05:56It sounded like he hadn't moved on at all
06:00This was my first time at Reese's office
06:03Apparently he owned the entire building
06:05Must be nice being rich
06:06The receptionist led me to the top floor
06:09The elevator dinged open
06:10The second my eyes met Reese's
06:12I froze
06:12Backlit by the windows
06:14His sharp features carried an edge
06:16That almost felt dangerous
06:18So this was what he looked like at work
06:20Something squeezed tight in my chest
06:22A group of board members trailed behind him
06:25All older than him by at least a decade
06:27None of them came close to matching his presence
06:29He looked like he was born to lead
06:31The hallway went quiet for a second
06:33Someone looked at me with obvious curiosity
06:36Mr. Calloway
06:37And this is
06:38Their stares were anything but subtle
06:40Rise's gaze landed on me
06:42He paused then
06:43Without making a big deal of it
06:44He stepped slightly in front of me
06:46A friend?
06:47Not his sister's classmate
06:48A friend
06:49Mr. Calloway
06:50This young lady says she's here to deliver your documents
06:52Got it
06:54Take her to my office
06:55He pressed the elevator button
06:57Seemed like he had somewhere else to be
06:59I thought about it for a second
07:00Then I handed the documents to the receptionist
07:04Well, since these are delivered
07:05I'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
07:20Face bright red
07:21He ate
07:21Rise didn't even glance at her
07:23His throat bobbed as he tilted his head back and downed glass after glass
07:27All ate
07:28One after another
07:29Without stopping
07:30Then he grabbed my hand
07:31Stood up
07:32Sorry
07:33I need to borrow her for a minute
07:36Carry on
07:38I lied about my age and dated a guy online
07:40He was 6 years older than me
07:42In real life he was a CEO
07:44Cold, untouchable, barely human
07:46Online, completely different person
07:48Called me baby
07:49Called me wifey
07:50Like he couldn't help himself
07:51Said he'd get on his knees for me anytime I asked
07:54I 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
08:06And somehow painfully familiar
08:08Down girl
08:09My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him
08:12And ever since he got ghosted by some online fling
08:14He's been in the worst mood of his life
08:16I swallowed hard
08:17Chloe
08:19Your brother's name isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
08:24No freaking way!
08:25How do you know that?
08:26Whatever hope I had left died right there
08:29I had dated my best friend's brother online
08:31And now I was standing in his house
08:33Months after ghosting him

15:03Something reckless took over
15:04I grabbed the back of his neck and bit down on his lip
15:06His whole body shuddered
15:07When he spoke, his voice was wrecked
15:09Molly, just hold on a little longer
15:13Please, I don't know what's in that drug
15:16I'm not going to risk your body
15:17I can't

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
17:58The conversation eventually shifted to Reese
18:01I listened carefully
18:02Pieced things together
18:03Apparently
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
18:34I 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 clearless
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 that 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, and this is...
22:06Their stares were anything but subtle
22:07Rise's gaze landed on me
22:09He paused then, without 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, Mr. 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, I'll get going
22:35Don't want to be in the way
22:40Did I say you could leave?
22:42When you dumped me, you 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?
22:59You 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 and 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
23:20Said he'd get on his knees for me anytime I asked
23:22I couldn't take how obsessed he was
23:24So I dumped him and blocked him on everything
23:26Over spring break, I 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 painfully familiar
23:37Down, girl
23:38My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him
23:40And ever since he got ghosted by 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 isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
23:52No freaking way!
23:53How do you know that?
23:54Whatever hope I had left died 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 than winning the Powerball
24:05Actually, makes sense
24:07We're basically the same person
24:09I probably mentioned his name without thinking
24:11I just stood there
24:13Frozen
24:13Reese 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, collar open
24:25He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and 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 like I wasn't even there
24:36Just his little sister's college friend
24:38Nobody
24:39I never would have connected this man to 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 had me wide awake at 2am with my face on fire
24:57I bit my lip
24:58So
24:58How 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
