Final Temptation

“There are always going to be temptations in life—some in the form of love, and some in the form of evil.”

SOPHIE
There were two things I never thought I’d experience in my lifetime: getting fired—by my own dad—and falling for the biggest playboy in Alpine Peak. One unforgettable kiss at the end of a drunken night should’ve been the end of our story. But six months later, a late-night spiral somehow turned into a serious discussion about splitting rent. He was supposed to help cover the bills while I focused on school. Instead, he became the distraction I couldn’t ignore—and nothing like the guy I thought I knew.

MYLES
For months, I was committed to living a sober life. I focused on healing, sticking to a routine, and leaving my past mistakes where they belonged—behind me. But the demons from my past didn’t fade with time. They crept back in, one day at a time. Between the sleepless nights and the girl down the hall, my self-control grew weaker. And the lesson I learned? Temptation doesn’t disappear—it’s patient and persistent, waiting for you to fall.
