Story Guide

Episode 1

Greer Vanderbilt rules Kingsley Academy as its spoiled heiress and cheerleading star, and she has her eyes on one prize: the cheer captain spot. Her rival Sloane stands in the way, but Greer has a plan — seduce Sloane's boyfriend, Theodore, the student council secretary, and take everything Sloane cares about.

Her scheme is bold and messy. She corners Theodore with a cherry-flavored move and declares she wins. But a stranger barges in and ruins the whole seduction, telling her flatly that her technique is amateur.

Furious, Greer demands an apology. Instead, the intruder shows her what real seduction looks like — and leaves her rattled before she even learns his name.

Episode 2

Greer learns the intruder is Dorian Ashford, a new transfer student who refuses to bow to her. She warns him that anyone who crosses her doesn't survive at Kingsley Academy. He tells her to come after him — he can't wait.

Determined to prove she still wins, Greer drags Sloane to the student council office and claims Theodore is about to be hers. Sloane refuses to believe it, so Greer demands proof be put on display.

But the moment backfires. A bite mark on Theodore is claimed by Dorian, not Greer, and the humiliation lands on her instead. Sloane explodes, the room clears out, and Greer is left raging — her plan in ruins and Dorian firmly in her way.

Episode 3

Still seething, Greer confronts Dorian and threatens him with her family name. She reminds him she's a Vanderbilt, that her father Frederick controls the world he lives in, and that she can have him thrown out of school with a word.

Dorian isn't intimidated — he already knows exactly who her father is.

Greer storms home, ready to vent to Frederick about everything she's endured. But the house isn't empty. Dorian is standing inside it, calm and unwelcome, greeting her as if they've met before.

Her safe haven has just been invaded, and the person she hates most is somehow already there waiting for her.

Episode 4

Frederick drops the bombshell: Dorian isn't leaving, because this is his house too now. From this moment, Dorian is Greer's brother.

Greer is devastated. She accuses Frederick of betraying her and her mother and bringing his "bastard" home. Frederick insists it's complicated — Dorian isn't his child, and he only took him in because Dorian's mother asked him to.

Greer refuses to accept any of it. The boy who bullied her, helped Sloane steal her spotlight, is now stealing her father.

She vows to push him out. When Dorian brings her dinner, she corners him and threatens worse — but he turns the tables, warning her that bad girls get taught a lesson.

Episode 5

Dorian's warning lands hard. Greer tries to hold her ground, but he pushes back harder, and she finally breaks — declaring she's leaving the house.

She makes a scene, ordering the staff to move furniture and rip down curtains, packing up everything she can. Frederick stops her, swearing she'll always be his precious girl and that Greer is not running away.

Greer tests him: if she and Dorian were both in danger, who would he choose? Frederick says her, of course — and promises that if Dorian truly makes her unhappy, he'll send him abroad.

Satisfied that she still has her father's favor, Greer invites him and Dorian to her school performance tomorrow. She has a plan.

Episode 6

At the performance, Greer is the star and everyone praises her. She introduces Frederick and Dorian to the crowd, asking them to keep their family connection quiet at school so Dorian won't be gossiped about.

Then she makes her move. Before the show, she secretly put pollen in her own water bottle. She hands it to Dorian to hold, and once she drinks it, she collapses into an allergic reaction.

The room turns on Dorian instantly — he was holding the bottle the whole time. Someone accuses him of being vicious, saying she could have died living under the same roof as him.

Frederick demands Dorian explain himself right now.

Episode 7

Dorian insists it wasn't him and asks them to call the police and let them investigate. But the priority is Greer's health, so the group decides to get her to the nurse first and deal with the authorities later.

Someone offers to take her. Dorian refuses to step aside — this involves him, and he'll handle it. He argues that she's his sister now and asks them to trust him.

Reluctantly, Frederick agrees and hands her over, telling Dorian he trusts him to take very good care of her.

Greer, still faking unconsciousness, is horrified as Dorian carries her off alone. Now she's at his mercy, and he knows she's faking.

Episode 8

Dorian calls her bluff immediately — she's a terrible liar, and the act is over. Greer snaps back that she hates him and will still get rid of him, but he refuses to play her games.

She accuses him of humiliating her and stealing her father, declaring herself the only princess of the Vanderbilt family. Dorian corrects her coldly: wrong — she and her mother took his father from him.

Greer backs off, telling him to stay out of her sight. But she isn't done scheming. She decides his unpredictable temper is something she can weaponize, and resolves to bait him into crossing a line so her father will finally kick him out.

Episode 9

Greer puts her next trap in motion, summoning Dorian to her room and handing him a drink, promising that if he finishes it, she'll let him stay with the family.

He refuses to need her permission, but she pushes until he drinks. Then she tells him he can't leave yet. When he asks what she's pulling this time, she admits it plainly: she drugged him.

Dorian warns her this is dangerous and demands to be let go. Greer doesn't back down — she challenges him, asking if he's a real man, then dares him to sleep with her.

He asks if she's sure, even with someone she hates. She says yes. He tells her to keep her eyes on him.

Episode 10

Things spiral fast. Frederick arrives at the door, wanting to talk about what happened today — and something important about Greer. He's getting the housekeeper to unlock the door.

Panicked, Greer and Dorian scramble. She tells him to jump from the second floor, but he refuses, and a more dangerous game suddenly appeals to him. He reminds her she drugged him, and that this is exactly what she wanted, with her daddy right outside.

Greer begs, swearing she'll leave him alone if he just goes. He calls her a fool for sleeping with his enemy's daughter — one hell of a revenge.

Then he says it: they burn together. The door opens.
