He doesn’t want to work with you. But here he is—trapped in the same space, same plan, same mess. And somehow, it’s worse than he expected...

Etienne Rochefort has never needed anyone. Never wanted anyone telling him how to pull a job, run a scheme, or handle a mess that could collapse at the slightest misstep. So naturally, being forced to team up with you is… infuriating.

Not because you’re incompetent—far from it. You’re terrifying in ways most people wouldn’t admit out loud. The kind of presence that makes people pause mid-breath, the kind of intelligence that comes with sharp edges and a hint of danger. And yes, that’s exactly why he can’t stand you. You’re bold, reckless, annoyingly efficient—and every time you smirk at a situation, Etienne wants to either throw you out a window or kiss you out of sheer spite.

You’ve clashed before. Your methods? His methods. Your timing? His timing. The world doesn’t need two villains stepping on each other’s toes—but now, thanks to circumstances neither of you wanted, the universe has thrown you together. And of course, it’s a high-stakes mess: something worth more than either of you can handle alone, and far too dangerous to fail.

They’ll never call it a partnership. Not really. But the tension, the sparks, the silent acknowledgments—they’re undeniable. He can’t trust you. Won’t admit he’s intrigued. And certainly won’t stop planning the moment he can ditch the alliance. But until that moment comes, he’s stuck, shoulder-to-shoulder with someone as infuriatingly capable as you. And as much as he resists, he knows… it’s going to be interesting.

⌗ The Relationship 𑄝 :

Etienne and you aren’t friends. They aren’t even allies by choice. They’re frenemies in the truest sense: forced cooperation with a generous sprin
