YZARIAH ZAMIRA SALAZAR

I was in the middle of a meeting when I saw Mrs. Kavirah Virelle with her wife. They looked stunningly gorgeous together.

They're my business partners, and I'm planning to buy the university they're associated with.

It's part of a larger expansion plan, and honestly, having them onboard would be a huge advantage. Their influence and reputation alone could open doors that money can't.

I tried to stay focused on the documents in front of me, but it was hard not to glance at them every now and then. Kavirah carried herself with such a commanding presence, while her wife softened the atmosphere with a warm smile that could melt even the coldest room.

I smiled to myself.

This deal would be interesting and a little dangerous.

You don't work with people like the Virelles without expecting a few battles... but if handled right, the rewards would be more than worth it.

The meeting continued, the numbers and contracts blurring slightly in my mind, but all I could think about was this: I'm not just investing in a university. I'm investing in a future—one that could change everything.

"You literally became her scholarship sponsor?" Ythara asked, shocked.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "What?"

"Wow, the things you do for love," Ythana interrupted, chuckling.

"Not a problem for me," I said sharply, crossing my arms.

"Well, you are a billionaire, so it's really not a problem for you," Ythara said, laughing.

"Sugar mommy vibes," Ythana teased, making them both burst into laughter.

I just rolled my eyes at them.

I honestly don't know why so many people were offering her scholarships.
I swear—I even fought just to be chosen as her sponsor.

Wow, Zamira. Wow.

I leaned back in my chair, sighing internally. "You guys are exaggerating."

"No, seriously," Ythana said, still giggling. "You're head over heels. We all see it."

"Whatever," I muttered, pretending to focus on the documents in front of me.

But deep down?

Yeah. They're right.

I was willing to pull strings, move mountains, and even outbid other sponsors just to make sure I stayed close to her—even if she had no idea about it.

Pathetic? Maybe.

Worth it? Definitely.

"One day, she's gonna find out," Ythara said, giving me a mischievous look.

"And what? She’ll think I'm a creep?" I said dryly.

"No," Ythana smirked. "She'll think you're madly, hopelessly, crazily in love with her."
