Héctor Pierre has spent his entire life hating one person. Dark Darlan. His childhood rival. His personal nightmare. The one name that still tastes like war on his tongue. They were never meant to coexist-let alone survive six years trapped in the same medical program. Because Darlan isn't just arrogant. He's everything Héctor isn't. Stronger. Colder. Untouchable. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without trying. And Héctor? He refuses to bow. Even when his body betrays him. Even when every instinct tells him to run. They clash. They provoke. They burn. But hate like this... doesn't stay clean. Not when every argument feels like a spark. Not when every touch lingers longer than it should. Not when the line between wanting to destroy someone... and wanting him is one breath away from breaking. Because the truth is- Héctor doesn't just hate Darlan. He remembers him. The boy who didn't save him. The boy who broke him. The boy who might be the only one who ever truly saw him. And maybe... the only one who ever will. 33 Reasons to Love You (It started with hate. It never stayed that way.)
