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 war room had barely settled when Chris spoke again. His voice was calm, measured—but the weight of his words instantly shifted the air.

"I'm going to attend the World Union meeting."

I barely raised a brow. Of course, he was. Even after withdrawing the Blackwood Empire from every global governing body, the world still revolved around his movements.

Classic, however, looked mildly surprised.

Chris continued before anyone could question him.

"And I will take my right hand and the Dictator."

Then, I noticed it—the way Classic's expression flickered, just for a second. Shock. Confusion. A touch of something else.

Christiana smirked, clearly pleased. "I assume we won't be sitting in the audience."

Chris barely acknowledged her. His focus remained on Classic, as if waiting to see how he would react.

Classic finally spoke, his voice controlled. "And I am not needed?"

Chris leaned back in his chair. "You are needed, but not for this."

"Your test is still ongoing. You rule in my absence. If I take you with me, then the throne remains incomplete. And that," Chris let the words sink in, "is not an option."

Classic's jaw tightened slightly, but he said nothing.

I glanced at him, reading the layers beneath his silence. He was adjusting to power, learning the weight of decisions. But now? He was being reminded of something else—that even as acting ruler, Chris was still the true power behind the empire.
