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

With the order given, the meeting hall buzzed with quiet activity. Some rulers immediately signaled their financial teams to begin the transfers, while others sat in contemplative silence, accepting the new world order they were now a part of.

Chris leaned back, watching them with an air of calculated patience.

"The Blackwood Union Headquarters will be the most secure structure ever built," he continued. "It will be more than just a political center. It will be the nerve center of the world—fortified, impenetrable, and autonomous."

"The Headquarters will be constructed in a strategic location, away from any single nation's direct influence. It will house:"

A fully operational military command center, ensuring that the Union's armed forces remain under one directive.

An economic and financial division, where all trade, resource allocation, and financial planning will be executed.

A global intelligence network, monitoring every shift in political power, military movement, and economic trends worldwide.

A legislative and judicial sector, ensuring that all Union laws are upheld—under the Dictator's direct authority.

I let my words sink in before adding the final detail.

"Security will be handled by the Blackwood Imperial Guard, separate from any nation's military. Entry into the headquarters will require direct authorization from either His Majesty Chris Blackwood or Dictator Christiana Blackwood."

A murmur passed through the rulers, but none dared to protest.

Chris nodded approvingly before turning to Christiana.

"Dictator, ensure that every nation sends their financial reports and compliance agreements within the next 24 hours. Any delays will be treated as defiance."

Christiana smirked, crossing her arms. "I'll make sure they don't forget."

Chris then turned his gaze to the room once more.

"This is no longer about individual nations. The Blackwood Union is now the supreme governing power of the world. Adjust accordingly."

With that, the meeting was over—but the new world was just beginning.
