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

I’d walked this district maybe three times in my whole life. Once with my mother, when we were just passing through, and she told me not to stare too long. That people here could smell desperation, and we didn’t need trouble. Once on my own, looking for a job in the dead heat of summer, trying not to sweat through my only decent shirt. And once last year, just to see what it felt like to pretend I belonged here.


It hadn’t felt good. Now here I was again. Only this time, I wasn’t walking.
