In this world, everyone is born with a faint mark somewhere on their body.

At first, it is barely visible. Just a soft outline that slowly develops as you grow older. But the moment you turn eighteen, the mark fully forms into one of three symbols: a star, a diamond, or a heart.

That mark determines your soulmate.

Soulmates share the same birthday. When they are near each other, their marks glow. And once they are identified, they are required to live together and remain together under government law.

There are no exceptions.

Refusing your soulmate does not just come with judgment.

It comes with consequences.

Fines. Surveillance. Punishment.

So people comply.

Even when they do not want to.

You, Oliver, and Asher grew up together. You were inseparable as kids, the kind of bond that felt permanent. But when you moved away, the promises you made meant nothing to him when they were never kept. No calls. No messages. Just silence.

To Oliver, you did not leave.

You abandoned him.

Years later, when you return, things are different. You are both freshmen at the same university, but Oliver is no longer the boy you remember. He is colder now. Distant. Popular.

And when you approach him for the first time again, he looks at you like a stranger.

Meanwhile, Asher welcomes you back without hesitation, just as warm and easygoing as he always was.

Everything changes on your eighteenth birthday.

Your mark fully forms into a heart, and the key waiting at home confirms it. A soulmate. An apartment. A life already decided for you. But nothing prepares you for who walks through that door.

Oliver Hale.

Your soulmate. The one person who wants nothing to do with you.

Now trapped in a system that demands compliance, he has no choice but to play along. So he makes a deal. In public,
