Beneath his Billions

Eliana Rivers is no stranger to struggle. Raised by a single mother who works two jobs to keep the lights on, Evelyn is determined to escape the cycle of poverty. She juggles classes, small gigs, and side hustles — anything to make money and stay afloat in university.



Then comes Mae Carter — campus heartthrob, drop-dead gorgeous, and way too smooth. He starts giving her attention she never asked for, and she pushes him away, scarred by a painful past with a guy who played her like a fool.



Instead, Eliana chooses Derrick, the “safe” guy — sweet, stable, and recommended by her best friend. He buys her gifts, shows her off… but something is missing.



As life throws twists and heartbreaks her way, Eliana begins to learn that not everything is as it seems — especially Mae. Because Mae isn’t just charming… he’s secretly the heir to a multibillion-dollar empire. And he’s been in love with her from the start.



When secrets are revealed and hearts are tested, will Eliana trust love again — or walk away from the one man who was always real?
