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?

Classic Blackwood – The First Clue

Classic sat in his office, a single envelope lying on the polished wooden desk before him. It had arrived without a name, without a trace of its sender—just a black wax seal pressed into the paper.

His fingers hovered over it for a moment before he tore it open.

Inside was a single sheet of paper.

"You're looking in the wrong places. The truth is closer than you think."

Classic's grip on the paper tightened.

He looked up at Amal, who stood across from him, eyes sharp with suspicion. "Someone knows."

She stepped forward. "Knows what?"

Classic exhaled, pressing his fingertips against his temple. Five years of silence, and now—someone wanted him to keep digging.

The question was: Who? And why now?

Amal glanced at the letter. "It's a test."

Classic nodded. "Then let's play."

Skylar Blackwood – The Prime Minister's Defiance

Skylar entered the grand council chamber, her heels clicking against the marble floor. The Prime Minister sat comfortably at the long table, surrounded by his loyalists.

For five years, she had tolerated him. But now?

"My Queen," he greeted smoothly. "What a surprise."

Skylar didn't sit. Instead, she placed a document in front of him.

His expression didn't change, but she caught the flicker of tension in his jaw.

"A transfer of power?" he murmured.

Skylar's voice was calm, but the force behind it was undeniable. "Your control has extended too far. It's time to remind you who rules this empire."

The Prime Minister leaned back, folding his hands together. "And if I refuse?"

Skylar's smile was cold. "Then I will make an example of you."

He wasn't foolish enough to challenge her openly. But she knew this was just the beginning.

And she would make sure she was the last one standing.

Ethan Carter – The First Move in the Shadows

I watched Chris as he leaned against the desk, studying a map of the empire. He was calm. Too calm.

That was always when he was at his most dangerous.

"The Prime Minister won't go down quietly," I said.

Chris smirked. "I'm counting on it."

I frowned. "You want him to fight back?"

"If he thinks he's still in control, he won't see the knife coming."

I exhaled. This was the man the world believed to be dead.

And the empire had no idea what was coming for it.

Chris folded his arms. "What about Classic?"

"He's searching," I admitted. "He won't stop until he finds something."

Chris nodded, his expression unreadable.

He wanted Classic to dig. He wanted Skylar to fight.

Because when the time was right—he would return.

And when he did, the entire world would bow once more.
