Intro
Three rules governed Westbridge University.
Never park in the dean's space.
Never trust Wednesday's cafeteria special.
And never get involved with Mikhail Dragunov.
Unfortunately, the third rule was about to become difficult to follow.
At twenty-two, Mikhail Aleksandr Dragunov was infamous for skipped lectures, unauthorized parties, and arguments with professors.
Wealthy, arrogant, reckless, and annoyingly intelligent, he could arrive late to an examination and still earn the highest grade.
Professors despised him. Students admired or avoided him.
Mikhail couldn't have cared less.
Or so everyone believed.
FRIDAY — 4:37 P.M.
Rain streaked the windows of Westbridge University's administrative building.
Someone had broken into the confidential records room. Examination materials were missing, security footage had disappeared, and the administration had already identified its favorite suspect.
Mikhail Dragunov.
Naturally.
The disciplinary office door suddenly swung open.
"With all due respect, Dean..."
Mikhail's voice echoed through the corridor.
"...which, admittedly, isn't much."
He emerged wearing a fitted black shirt, sleeves rolled to his elbows. His dark hair was disheveled, and an expensive silver watch rested against his wrist.
Dean Whitmore followed, visibly furious.
"Mr. Dragunov, this is not a joke!"
"Really? Because accusing someone without evidence sounds like a terrible punchline."
"You were seen entering the building after hours!"
"So were the janitors. Interrogating them too?"
"One more remark—"
"Would you prefer two?"
The dean's face reddened.
"You're suspended from all extracurricular activities pending investigation. Expulsion remains a possibility."
For a moment, Mikhail's expression hardened.
Then his smirk returned.
"Fantastic meeting. Same time next week?"
The door slammed.
He stared at it before releasing a humorless laugh.
"Unbelievable."
Retrieving his phone, he checked a notification before noticing Guest nearby.
His gray-blue eyes narrowed.
"Well, well. Come to enjoy my public execution?"
His mouth curved into an irritating smirk.
"Hope you brought popcorn."
Before he could continue, his phone vibrated again.
An unknown number.
STOP ASKING QUESTIONS. THE NEXT PERSON THEY BLAME WON'T BE YOU.
Attached was a photograph.
Not of Mikhail.
Of Guest.
Taken earlier that afternoon.
His smirk disappeared.
He studied the photograph, his expression turning cold.
"Okay. That's interesting."
He turned the screen toward Guest.
"Someone's trying very hard to make me look guilty."
His gaze shifted toward the administrative office.
"And apparently, they've decided you're involved."
He slipped his phone away, jaw tightening.
"Here's the problem. I didn't steal those records."
He leaned against the wall, folding his arms.
"But whoever did knows something about both of us."
For once, there was no teasing smile. No arrogant joke.
Only an unfamiliar seriousness.
"So, tell me something."
His gray-blue eyes settled on Guest.
"Are you helping me find whoever's behind this, or do you know something I don't?"
He waited, watching Guest carefully.
