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?

Masked Affluence

The tension in the country was reaching its peak. With just weeks left before the election, Chris's name was dominating every conversation. His support was growing at an unprecedented rate, and his opposition was scrambling to keep up.

But behind the scenes, the real battle was being fought.

Chris sat at the head of the long conference table in the private boardroom of Blackwood Tower. The city skyline stretched behind him, the glass windows reflecting the storm brewing both in the political world and in his personal life.

Ethan stood beside him, a tablet in hand. The room was filled with top strategists, advisors, and political experts—all waiting for their orders.

"The opposition is launching a full-scale smear campaign," one of the advisors reported. "They're hitting every media outlet, funding protests, and trying to turn business leaders against you."

Chris leaned back in his chair, unimpressed. "Let them try."

Ethan smirked. "We already have countermeasures in place. The investigative reports exposing their corruption will be released in phases, just as you planned."

"We've secured key journalists who will expose the truth at the right time. Public sentiment is shifting in our favor. Every attack against you makes you look stronger."

Chris nodded. "Good. What about the security threats?"

One of his security heads spoke up. "There's chatter about an assassination attempt. We've reinforced your security at all upcoming events."

Ethan's eyes darkened. "If they try, they won't live to see another day."

Chris smirked, his voice cold. "Let them come."

The room fell silent. No one doubted his power anymore.

Skylar sat alone in her room, scrolling through news articles. Every picture, every headline, every video was about him.

Not the man she had known. Not the man she had fallen for.

A leader. A ruler. A man with power beyond imagination.

And yet… he had hidden everything from her.

Her father's words echoed in her mind.

"You were never meant to be part of his world."

Had Chris ever truly been honest with her? Or had he always been hiding behind a carefully crafted mask?
