Bad Prince
They were a mistake that never got to happen.
Freshman year at Royal Oaks Prep, Tristan Vale was untouchable.
Trust fund royalty.
Perfect jaw.
A future already written in gold
Stella Cortez was the scholarship girl.
Latina. Curvy. Sharp enough to draw blood.
Funded by anonymous donors and raw determination.
Their chemistry was real.
The fallout was brutal.
Royal Oaks didn’t break hearts—it broke people.
And when it turned on Stella, Tristan didn’t stop it.
Six months later, she disappeared with scars no one could see and a vow she would never be small again.
She forgot him.
Or so she thought.
Years later, fate drops them onto the same campus—Stanford University.
No warnings.
No apologies.
No clean slate.
Stella is no longer the girl Royal Oaks pushed around.
She’s elite. Focused. Dangerous.
And she has no intention of being polite to the boy who watched her burn.
Tristan isn’t a prince here.
He’s just another legacy with a past he can’t outrun.
And Stella?
She’s done being the one who bleeds.
Now she’s the pressure.
The sharp edge.
The girl who makes him squirm in public and ache in private
Enemies-to-lovers has never been so personal.
Because the heat between them was never the problem
The silence was.
And when desire collides with unfinished business, old power dynamics don’t survive.
Some love stories are sweet.
Some are messy.
The dangerous ones are forged in fire—
and finished in bed.
