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?

For a moment, the room froze. The air shifted. Every ruler present turned their gaze toward me.

I felt the corners of my lips curl slightly, an amused smirk playing at the edges. Classic had just made a move I didn't expect—one that placed me directly in the center of this new order.

"Let's see who's worthy, shall we?"
