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 guilt crept in like a chill through an open window. I had known the truth for months. I had the documents, the records, everything ready. And still, I waited.


Because I let my assumptions lead. I saw her as a hot-headed, brash scholarship girl with something to prove. I didn’t look deeper. And now she was sitting here, stunned and crying, having to piece together a life she never even knew she had.


She sniffled quietly and wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve. Her movements were delicate. Like she didn’t want anyone to know she was crying, even now, in front of me.


I reached into my inner pocket and pulled out a folded handkerchief.


“Here,” I said gently, holding it out.


She hesitated, then took it with a quiet, “Thank you.”
