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 Carter – The Storm Unleashed

Chris leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming lazily against the armrest. His amusement was evident, but I knew better than to mistake it for indifference. He was testing her. Testing all of us.

"You're making demands, my love?" His voice was smooth, but underneath it lay the sharp edge of a ruler unchallenged.

Skylar held her ground. "Yes. And I suggest you don't test me."

Classic and Amal exchanged a glance, a silent conversation passing between them. Christiana, ever the strategist, remained still, observing. She thrived on moments like these—power struggles, shifting dynamics.

I felt every pair of eyes on me, waiting for my next move.

Chris finally turned his attention back to me. "Ethan?"

I turned on my heel and walked out. But as I did, I could feel it—the battlefield had just been drawn.

Amal Blackwood – A Wife's Dilemma

I sat beside Classic, my fingers curled into the fabric of my gown. I had been prepared for many things in this family, but not this.

Not Skylar challenging Chris so openly.

Not Ethan standing between them like the executioner awaiting orders.

And certainly not the revelation of a child.

Skylar was furious. Furious in the way only a woman who has lost control can be. She was always the one ahead of the game, always a step in front of everyone else. And now, Chris had blindsided her.

Classic's jaw tightened. "What do you want me to say, Mother?"

Skylar's eyes flashed. "That you are my son, the rightful heir, and this game he's playing ends now."

Classic exhaled through his nose, his grip on my hand tightening.

"You misunderstand something," he said coolly. "I never needed a throne handed to me. If I take it, it will be because I earned it, not because you or anyone else declares it so."

Skylar looked almost betrayed, but I knew better. This wasn't about betrayal—it was about control slipping through her fingers.

She turned back to Chris, but he was already rising from his seat.

"This conversation has bored me," Chris announced. "Ethan will handle the rest."

And with that, he walked out—leaving behind a room filled with tension so thick it was suffocating.

Skylar stood frozen for a long moment before finally sitting down.

The way her hand curled into a fist.
