AUTHOR'S NOTE

Welcome, dear readers, to the world of Thriving the Hate.

Hi, Dreamers 🤍

My pen name used to be Sara, but I've changed it to Xevia - for good.

If you came here from any videos or other platforms, don't worry. It's still me.

Same heart. Same energy. Same feelings. Just a new name.

A dark academia fantasy romance layered with psychological depth, morally grey love, crime, and echoes of past lives.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

╚═══ ❖ •✦• ❖ ═══╝

Thank you for choosing this story. Your time, trust, and support truly mean everything to me.

✦ This book contains mature and heavy themes, including psychological conflict, trauma, depression, mental health struggles, and gothic elements. Because of its emotional intensity, it is marked 18+.

✦ This is not a soft romance. The characters are morally grey, flawed, and deeply human. They make mistakes, carry emotional scars, and often act from places of pain and complexity.

✦ This is my second book and the first installment in the Hate and Hearts series. Each book can be read as a standalone, though they share connected themes.

✦ English is not my first language, so occasional grammatical imperfections may appear. Kind and constructive feedback is always appreciated.

✦ This is a multi-couple story, though the opening chapters focus mainly on the main pair. The narrative shifts between character POVs and author narration.

✦ The beginning may feel lighter or chaotic, but the story slowly descends into much darker psychological territory, especially after Chapter 25. Please try not to judge the book solely by the first twenty chapters.

Please review the trigger warnings before continuing.

If the story ever feels overwhelming, it is completely okay to step away.

Your well-being matters.

I also ask for mutual respect - please do not report or copy this work. Every chapter represents time, effort, and emotional investment.

There is no love triangle. No cheating. No third-wheeling drama.

Betrayal and abuse are not romance, and this story will never glorify them.This is enemies to lovers, and it will not be sweet or gentle.

Some moments may feel raw, chaotic, or imperfect - that is intentional. This version reflects the story in its most genuine form and will be refined in the future.

──────── ❖ ────────

Their love burns with a dangerous intensity -

volatile, consuming, and impossible to ignore.

And sometimes the moments that look like happiness

are nothing more than lies they tell themselves.

──────── ❖ ────────

Read at your own discretion, divas.

With love,

- Xevia
