What June didn't plan for her senior year was falling for River,Brooks bad boy and player. What comes with the whole package?

June Chapter 1 Partners

June walked slowly into Brooks High School clutching her books tightly in her arms and her school bag,slung over her shoulders.Her hair was tied in a bun and it shined gloriously under the morning sun.Her twin Jane,was already talking to a group of friends.They were both sixteen with Jane,the eldest.She was not really an extrovert neuther was she and introvert,she preferred keeping to herself.She never talked to anyone except for a few greetings,that was all.Jane,however was the opposite of her.She was the cheerleaders captain and was also the Queen of Brooks High.

Jane was labelled as a snub by most people,but she couldn't care less.She got to her locker and put in her combination,unlocking her locker.

"The snub is already here."Said a girl to her friend,while glaring at her.June ignored them and went ahead to bring out the books she was going to use for her class today.

It was the beginning of a new term and she was in her last year in highschool.The bell rang indicating it was first period.She packed her books and left for class.Few students were already in class,and the front row was occupied.She decided to sut in the middle row which was still good for her sight.She had Biology first period.Mrs Williams,the biology teacher entered and began teaching.

Halfway into the class,the door burst open and the three bad boys of Brooks High,in the form of River,Justin and Jordan came inside.They were the hottest guys in school,with River their leader.He was the school quarterback and captain of soccer.He was tall,with blue eyes and black hair.Rumors had it that,he had slept with almost all the girls in Brooks High.

"Can you guys explain to me why you're just coming now?"asked Mrs Williams,a frown visible on her face.

"Sorry ma'am"apologized Jordan.He was the most reserved of them all.

"To your seats"she ordered.

River had already sat down even before she had ordered them.

"You'll be doing a project in pairs."

There was grumbling and murmurings heard.

"Quiet,all of you!"barked Mrs Williams.Order was restored back.

"I've paired you guys together so listen to your names and partner."

She took out a long paper containing the names of all the students and their partners.

"Now listen."she ordered.

June was already fidgeting in her seat,when she heard partners.That only means one thing.She was finally going to talk to someone.She was disturbed.She had no friends and was not sure if anybody was going to talk to her.She decided to keep calm and listen yo her partner.But,she prayed she wasn't paired with River,Justin or Jordan.

"Sandra and Peter"Mrs Williams called out breaking her out from her trance.

"Favor and Tiffany,Amelia and Mark,Ryder and Trevor...."

"Alex and Gracie,Joshua and Joel,Jane and Justin,Tyler and Jordan and ....."She paused for effect before releasing the bombshell."June and River."

The class went into chaos after that.June was shocked.Of all people,she was paired with River.She decided to change partners.

"You can't switch partners"Mrs Williams said destroying the last ray of hope she had.

"Now,sit with your partners while I go round distributing your paperwork."Commanded Mrs Williams.June made no effort to move at all.There was scraping of chairs as people located their partners.She wasn't ready to talk to anyone,not even River.

She felt the sit beside her shift and someone sat on it.She didn't need to look,she knew it was River from his cologne.

"Hey!"Came River's voice.She looked up to meet his gaze to see him smiling at her.She glanced away and brought out her notepad.

Mrs Williams came to where they were seated and dropped their project.

"June,try bring nice at once and good luck"Said Mrs Williams,before moving on.June made for the paper,the same time as River.She quickly pulled back when their hands touched.

"Go ahead."Urged River.She picked it up and stared at what was written on it.They were to work on all the sea creatures,their distinction feature and species they belong to.She dropped it back on the desk and spoke up"Leave the work for me"she said.

River chucked and replied"Not happening".

She glared at him but said nothing.

"So,how do we meet to carry out the project?"She asked

"Let's do it this way,I come to your house and you cone to mine."he replied

"I'm not coming to your house!"she said authoritatively.

"Fine,I'll do the coming,"River chuckled.

"Time?"

"By 4pm"

The bell rang signalling class was over.She packed her books and made to leave.

"So,4 it is?"asked River

"Yes"

With that she left the class.She had Geometry next.While on her way,Justin walked beside her.

"Hey!"he said.She ignored him and quickened her steps.

"I'm Justin by the way."he introduced.Still,he was met with silence.

"I can see you don't talk"

"Isn't it obvious?"she wanted to say but decided against it.

"Leave the poor girl alone.She clearly doesn't want to talk to you."River said,coming to the rescue.

"I don't mean any harm"Justin remarked.

"Yeah,says the guy who has slept with almost all the girls here."

"You're no different from me."

June had had enough and took off running.

"You scared the poor girl."River said staring at the direction she took with a faraway look in his eyes.

"I did not"

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
