Freya Maiden always believed she was unlucky. Her mother passed away from cancer, leaving her completely alone. She couldn’t afford tuition or living expenses, so she had to take on part-time jobs. To make things worse, after entering university, she encountered a notoriously strict professor—Clarence Finerman. He monitored her every move, harshly scolding her for the smallest mistakes. Even when she was bullied by her classmate, Stella, Clarence insisted it was Freya’s fault.
Until one day, Freya discovered Clarence’s attention had a purpose. He was the legal advisor to billionaire Jack Ramaswamy, who had died months earlier, leaving behind a will that entrusted his trillion-dollar fortune to an illegitimate daughter.
The heiress’s name?
Freya Maiden.

I blinked. Once. Twice. My brain refused to connect the dots.


This had to be some hallucination. Some shame-drenched dream spillover.


Nope. Time to sleep this off. This was a nightmare. Just like the sex dream.


I’d wake up. Everything would be fine.


I flopped back onto the pillows, heart thudding, face on fire.
