The Nightmare Returns Freedom. That was all Rowan Calloway wanted. Four years of humiliation, cruel jokes, and endless torment from Maddox Hawthorne had finally ended. Or so he believed. Standing outside the university gates, Rowan adjusted his backpack and exhaled nervously. Three weeks late. Family complications had delayed his arrival, but none of that mattered anymore. This was his fresh start. No Maddox. No bullies. No painful memories. “Well, isn’t this a pleasant surprise?” Rowan froze. That voice. Slowly turning around, his heart dropped. Leaning against an expensive black sports car stood Maddox Hawthorne, wearing his signature arrogant smirk. “No…” Rowan whispered. Maddox chuckled, approaching him. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? Not happy to see me?” “Why are you here?” Maddox leaned closer, his expression darkening. “You really thought you could disappear without me finding you?” Rowan stepped backward. His nightmare wasn’t over. It had only just begun.
