Eva Talesmith

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.

Heiress and Her Dangerous Professor

The shriek cut through the cafeteria like a siren.


Everything stopped—the chatter, the clatter of trays, even the music playing faintly from the overhead speakers. Heads turned. Forks paused mid-air. And I froze where I stood, half a step from the next table.


I turned slowly, my eyes locking on the girl to Stella’s left. She was already on her feet, her voice pitched high and dramatic.


“My bracelet!” she cried. “It’s gone!”


She held out her wrist like it was a crime scene, turning it from side to side as if the missing accessory might magically reappear under better lighting.


The manager came rushing over from behind the counter, his apron swinging behind him.


“What’s the issue here?” he asked, his voice loud but professional as he approached the table. “Miss, are you alright?”


The girl nodded frantically. “My bracelet is missing. It was just here—just now. I swear!”
