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?

Ethan chuckled. "You really enjoy playing these games."

Chris's fingers tapped against the armrest. "It's not a game, Ethan. It's perspective."

Ethan nodded, understanding the hidden weight behind his words. This wasn't just about hosting a party—it was about control. The people attending thought they were powerful, but none of them realized they were all just pieces on Chris's chessboard.

And soon, they would learn exactly who controlled the board.
