00:00C'est parti !
00:30Whatever hope I had left died right there.
00:32I had dated my best friend's brother online,
00:35and now I was standing in his house, months after ghosting him.
00:38The odds of this were lower than winning the Powerball.
00:41Actually, makes sense.
00:42We're basically the same person.
00:44I probably mentioned his name without thinking.
00:47I just stood there, frozen.
00:49Reese Calloway was under the same roof as me.
00:52My 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 and still owned the room.
01:03I stared at him.
01:04Something about that face nagged at me.
01:07But Reese just gave me a short nod.
01:09Those dark eyes swept past me like I wasn't even there.
01:11Just his little sister's college friend.
01:14Nobody.
01:14I never would have connected this man to my clingy, filthy-mouthed ex from the internet.
01:19Online Reese was a different species.
01:21Every night without fail.
01:22The pet names, the possessiveness,
01:24the way he talked like I already belonged to him.
01:27I was young, clueless.
01:28Half the things he said had me wide awake at 2am with 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.
01:40Then she dumped him out of nowhere.
01:41Cold as hell.
01:43He's been terrible ever since.
01:46Snapping at everyone.
01:47If he's rude to you, don't take it personal.
01:49He's like that with everyone right now.
01:51Great.
01:52This was fine.
01:53Everything was fine.
01:57Next morning, Mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast.
02:00Rye sat across from me.
02:01I couldn't stop glancing at him.
02:03Then he looked up.
02:03Our eyes met.
02:04He raised an eyebrow.
02:05Slightly surprised.
02:07My heart jumped.
02:08I looked away.
02:08But I could still feel his gaze on me, lingering.
02:11Stay as long as you want, sweetheart.
02:13Make yourself at home.
02:14Thank you, Mrs. Calloway.
02:16I 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.
02:25The conversation eventually shifted to Reese.
02:27I listened carefully.
02:28Pieced things together, apparently.
02:30His mom had set him up with someone recently.
02:33Mom, I told you.
02:34I'm interested in her.
02:36We met twice.
02:37I can't even remember her face.
02:39What exactly do you expect from me?
02:41You reject every girl I find.
02:43I 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.
02:53Mom, I promise his orientation is fine.
02:56He's just romantically unlucky.
02:58The girl he's waiting for likes to play games, that's all.
03:01I wanted to disappear into my plate.
03:04I didn't dare make a sound.
03:05But of course, the universe wasn't done with me.
03:08Molly Lane.
03:09Rice's cold voice cut through the air.
03:11I flinched, almost dropped my fork.
03:13It was just my name.
03:14Nothing special about the way he said it, but hearing it from his mouth sent a shiver down
03:18my spine.
03:19Why before I could think, his dark eyes were already on me, studying me, something unreadable
03:24behind them.
03:25You look guilty.
03:26Did you do something you shouldn't have?
03:30My brain short-circuited.
03:32My face went pale.
03:33I had nothing.
03:34Thankfully, Mrs. Calloway stepped in.
03:36Leave her alone.
03:37Molly is our guest.
03:39Be nice.
03:42Wow, bro.
03:43I mentioned Molly's name once and 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.
03:59I did some homework.
04:00Went 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.
04:11Now I have to drive all the way to his office.
04:14He's never this clear-less.
04:16I don't know what's gotten into him.
04:18My hand moved before my brain did.
04:20I can take them.
04:21You should rest.
04:22Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that.
04:24Really, it's fine.
04:25I've got nothing else to do.
04:26Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay.
04:29The least I could do was help with something small.
04:31She couldn't argue with me.
04:32Eventually, she texted me the company address.
04:37In the Uber, I pulled out my phone and searched Reese's name.
04:40The results were unanimous.
04:41Ruthless in business.
04:43Decisive.
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.
04:50Life was miserable.
04:51I spent every night on Discord, playing with strangers just to feel less alone.
04:55That'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, but I was careful.
05:04I lied about my age.
05:05Told him I just graduated college.
05:07Never gave him my real name.
05:09Unlike most people, I 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.
05:19He Venmo'd me money all the time.
05:20Random amounts for no reason.
05:22Get yourself something nice.
05:24You haven't eaten.
05:25Order food.
05:26The amounts were insane.
05:27I always sent it all back.
05:29All 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.
05:40I thought about it for a long time.
05:42Then I typed out the message.
05:43No point meeting up.
05:44I'm kind of over this.
05:45Let's end it.
05:46I hit send.
05:46Blocked him on Discord.
05:48Unfriended him on everything.
05:49Deleted our entire chat history.
05:51I thought after all this time, Reese would have forgotten about us.
05:55But from the way Chloe talked about him, it sounded like he hadn't moved on at all.
06:01This was my first time at Reese's office.
06:03Apparently he owned the entire building.
06:05Must be nice being rich.
06:07The receptionist led me to the top floor.
06:09The elevator dinged open.
06:11The second my eyes met Reese's, I froze.
06:13Backlit by the windows.
06:14His sharp features carried an edge that almost felt dangerous.
06:18So this was what he looked like at work.
06:20Something squeezed tight in my chest.
06:23A 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.
06:30He looked like he was born to lead.
06:32The hallway went quiet for a second.
06:34Someone looked at me with obvious curiosity.
06:36Mr. Calloway, and this is...
06:38Their stairs were anything but subtle.
06:40Rise's gaze landed on me.
06:42He paused then, without making a big deal of it, he stepped slightly in front of me.
06:46A friend?
06:47Not his sister's classmate.
06:48A friend.
06:49Mr. Calloway, this young lady says she's here to deliver your documents.
06:53Got 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.
07:01Then I handed the documents to the receptionist.
07:04Well, since these are delivered, I'll get going.
07:08Don't want to be in the way.
07:13Did I say you could leave?
07:17So, how many drinks was the penalty?
07:19Some girl in the group answered, face bright red.
07:21He ate.
07:22Rise didn't even glance at her.
07:24His throat bobbed as he tilted his head back and downed glass after glass.
07:27All ate, one after another, without stopping.
07:30Then he grabbed my hand, stood 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.
07:41He was six years older than me.
07:42In real life, he was a CEO.
07:44Cold, untouchable, barely human.
07:46Online, completely different person.
07:49Called me baby, called me wifey like he couldn't help himself.
07:52Said 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.
07:59Over spring break, I stayed at my best friend Chloe's place and ran straight into her older brother.
08:04Tall, gorgeous, ice cold expression.
08:06And somehow, painfully familiar.
08:09Down, girl.
08:10My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him.
08:12And ever since he got ghosted by some online fling, he's been in the worst mood of his life.
08:16I swallowed hard.
08:18Chloe, your brother's name isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
08:24No freaking way!
08:25How do you know that?
08:27Whatever 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, months after ghosting him.
08:35The odds of this were lower than winning the Powerball.
08:38Actually, makes sense.

08:52When Chloe brought me home, Reese had come down the stairs in a robe, loosely tied, collar open.
08:57He looked like he'd just rolled out of bed and still owned the room.
09:00I stared at him.
09:01Something about that face nagged at me.
09:03But Reese just gave me a short nod.

15:03Something reckless took over.
15:04I grabbed the back of his neck and bit down on his lip.
15:07His whole body shuddered.
15:08When he spoke, his voice was wrecked.
15:10Molly.
15:11Just hold on a little longer.
15:13Please.
15:14I don't know what's in that drug.
15:16I'm not going to risk your body.
15:18I can't.

16:48Just his little sister's college friend.
16:50Nobody.
16:51I 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.
16:59The pet names.
17:00The possessiveness.
17:01The way he talked like I already belonged to him.
17:03I was young.
17:04Clueless.
17:05Half the things he said had me wide awake at 2am with my face on fire.
17:09I bit my lip.
17:10So, how many girlfriends has your brother had?
17:12Just one.
17:14Online.
17:14He was really into her.
17:16Then she dumped him out of nowhere.
17:18Cold as hell.
17:20He's been terrible ever since.
17:22Snapping at everyone.
17:23If he's rude to you, don't take it personal.
17:26He's like that with everyone right now.
17:28Great.
17:29This was fine.
17:30Everything was fine.
17:31Next morning, Mrs. Calloway called us down for breakfast.
17:34Rice sat across from me.
17:35I couldn't stop glancing at him.
17:37Then he looked up.
17:37Our eyes met.
17:38He raised an eyebrow.
17:39Slightly surprised.
17:40My heart jumped.
17:42I looked away, but I could still feel his gaze on me, lingering.
17:45Stay as long as you want, sweetheart.
17:47Make yourself at home.
17:48Thank you, Mrs. Calloway.
17:50I smiled and told myself to relax.
17:52Even if Reese and I were under the same roof, there was no way he'd figure out I was the
17:57girl who ghosted him.
17:58No way the conversation eventually shifted to Reese.
18:01I listened carefully.
18:03Pieced things together, apparently.
18:05His mom had set him up with someone recently.
18:07Mom, I told you.
18:08I'm interested in her.
18:10We met twice.
18:11I can't even remember her face.
18:13What exactly do you expect from me?
18:15You reject every girl I find.
18:17I swear, I don't know when you'll ever wake up.
18:19You're in your mid-twenties, Rice.
18:22No girlfriend.
18:23Sometimes I genuinely wonder if you even like women.
18:27Mom, I promise his orientation is fine.
18:30He'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.
18:42Molly Lane.
18:43Rice's cold voice cut through the air.
18:45I flinched, almost dropped my fork.
18:47It was just my name.
18:48Nothing 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.
18:57Studying me.
18:57Something unreadable behind them.
18:59You look guilty.
19:00Did you do something you shouldn't have?
19:02My brain short-circuited.
19:04My face went pale.
19:05I had nothing.
19:06Thankfully, Mrs. Calloway stepped in.
19:08Leave her alone.
19:09Molly is our guest.
19:11Be 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.
19:25Chloe 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.
19:33Saw Mrs. Calloway grabbing her keys.
19:36Auntie, where are you heading out?
19:38That son of mine rushed out this morning and forgot his documents.
19:43Now I have to drive all the way to his office.
19:46He's never this clear-less.
19:48I don't know what's gotten into him.
19:50My hand moved before my brain did.
19:52I can take them.
19:53You should rest.
19:54Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that.
19:56Really, it's fine.
19:57I've got nothing else to do.
19:58Mrs. Calloway was kind enough to let me stay.
20:01The least I could do was help with something small.
20:03She couldn't argue with me.
20:04Eventually, she texted me the company address.
20:07In 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.
20:18My parents had just divorced.
20:20Life was miserable.
20:21I spent every night on Discord, playing with strangers just to feel less alone.
20:25That's where I met to rest.
20:26I figured it still counted as a relationship.
20:28Even if we'd never met face-to-face.
20:30Dopamine was dopamine.
20:31It made me feel something for a little while, but I was careful.
20:34I lied about my age.
20:35Told him I'd just graduated college.
20:37Never gave him my real name.
20:39Unlike most people, I never sent photos.
20:41Never 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.
20:54You haven't eaten.
20:55Order 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.
21:08Meet in person?
21:09That was insane.
21:09I thought about it for a long time.
21:11Then I typed out the message.
21:13No point meeting up.
21:13I'm kind of over this.
21:15Let's end it.
21:15I hit send.
21:16Blocked him on Discord.
21:17Unfriended him on everything.
21:19Deleted our entire chat history.
21:21I thought after all this time, Reese would've forgotten about us.
21:24But from the way Chloe talked about him, it sounded like he hadn't moved on at all.
21:28This was my first time at Reese's office.
21:31Apparently he owned the entire building.
21:33Must be nice being rich.
21:34The receptionist led me to the top floor.
21:37The elevator dinged open.
21:38The second my eyes met Reese's, I froze.
21:41Backlit by the windows.
21:42His sharp features carried an edge that almost felt dangerous.
21:46So this was what he looked like at work.
21:48Something squeezed tight in my chest.
21:50A group of board members trailed behind him.
21:52All older than him by at least a decade.
21:55None 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.
22:04Mr. Calloway, and this is...
22:06Their stares were anything but subtle.
22:08Rice's gaze landed on me.
22:10He paused then, without making a big deal of it.
22:12He stepped slightly in front of me.
22:14A friend?
22:15Not his sister's classmate.
22:16A friend.
22:17Mr. Calloway, this young lady says she's here to deliver your documents.
22:21Got it.
22:22Take her to my office.
22:23He pressed the elevator button.
22:25Seemed like he had somewhere else to be.
22:26I thought about it for a second.
22:28Then I handed the documents to the receptionist.
22:32Well, 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, I'll change.
22:52All of it.
22:54Molly, just come back to me.
22:56I won't hold any of it against you.
22:58Rice, are you insane?
23:00You know that I...
23:00I know.
23:01I'm making a bet.
23:03That one day, you'll actually fall for me.
23:06I lied about my age and dated a guy online.
23:09He was six years older than me.
23:11In real life, he was a CEO.
23:12Cold, untouchable, barely human.
23:14Online, completely different person.
23:17Called me baby.
23:18Called me wifey like he couldn't help himself.
23:20Said he'd get on his knees for me anytime I asked.
23:23I couldn't take how obsessed he was.
23:24So I dumped him and blocked him on everything.
23:27Over spring break, I stayed at my best friend Chloe's place and ran straight into her older brother.
23:32Tall, gorgeous, ice cold expression, and somehow painfully familiar.
23:37Down girl.
23:38My brother hates girls who throw themselves at him.
23:41And ever since he got ghosted by some online fling, he's been in the worst mood of his life.
23:45I swallowed hard.
23:46Chloe, your brother's name isn't Reese Calloway, is it?
23:52No freaking way.
23:54How do you know that?
23:55Whatever hope I had left died right there.
23:57I had dated my best friend's brother online.
24:00And now I was standing in his house, months after ghosting him.
24:03The odds of this were lower than winning the Powerball.
24:06Actually, makes sense.
24:07We're basically the same person.
24:09I probably mentioned his name without thinking.
24:12I just stood there.
24:13Frozen.
24:14Reese Calloway was under the same roof as me.
24:17My heart wouldn't shut up.
24:18I kept thinking about an hour ago.
24:20When Chloe brought me home, Reese 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.
24:32But Reese just gave me a short nod.
24:34Those dark eyes swept past me like I wasn't even there.
24:36Just his little sister's college friend.
24:39Nobody.
24:40I never would have connected this man to my clingy, filthy-mouthed ex from the internet.
