At university, Chris is just another student—quiet, reserved, and seemingly ordinary. But behind the scenes, he’s the heir to a hidden fortune, a secret he guards fiercely.

Then there’s Skylar—a girl born into wealth, now watching her privileged world crumble as her family faces financial ruin. When she crosses paths with Chris, an unexpected connection sparks between them.

Skylar falls for him, believing he’s just a regular guy. But when her family pressures her to seek a richer suitor, Chris finds himself at a crossroads—should he reveal his true identity to fight for their love, or let her go to protect his secret?

In a world where love and wealth collide, can their relationship survive the truth?

Chris turned away from the window, his decision final. "I'll go."

Ethan raised an eyebrow. "Personally?"

He walked back to his desk, sliding open a secured compartment. Inside lay a sleek black device—custom-built for encrypted communications.

Ethan chuckled. "So they'll sit in a room, negotiating with a ghost?"

Chris's eyes darkened. "With a force they can't touch."

Ethan nodded. "Understood. I'll have our best security watching the Council's movements. No one gets close to us."

Chris leaned back, fingers tapping lightly against the desk. "Send them my conditions. Make it clear—they have no leverage."

Ethan smirked. "And if they refuse?"

Chris's expression was unreadable. "Then they'll learn what happens when you lose my goodwill."
