A girl in disguise. An heir in hunt. A world divided. Iris Lavera is born into the civilization of the least respected ones. The lineage where it's predicted to birth a curse. A low born who will be the downfall of an entire nation if left alive. For year's their fragile community has been combed by the powerful ones, treated like dirt, and tested to their strip of patience. Being called an abomination for the one person who wasn't even born yet. Or so they believed. The glaze Antar, a magnificent realm sanctioned by tons of wealth, thousands of warriors, four supreme's, and a dominant ruler are braced to annihilate the affliction. Except for someone who seemed quite unbothered by it- the Prince himself, despite it's his head that's at stake. That is until he meets her, a girl forging a fictitious life. He could sense the signs. He should put a bounty on her head. Have her chained in the dungeon to see what she was capable of. Burn her up by the pyre at the first doubt of her being a spy. Instead- he would escort her into his world to see if he could break her enough to make up for all the nights she haunted his dreams. And for all the days he craved her.

"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best.

"My real name's Olivia. Olivia Reagan. I think you might know me." His eyes momentarily widened at my revelation, then he replied, "You're supposed to be dead." I nodded, "I know. But you're gonna bring me back to life." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ It happened a year ago. I was married to the infamous billionaire, Clyde Harrison. Being from the most influential and wealthy families, we got engaged at a young age for business. But I fell in love with him and wanted to be his true wife. That was my mistake. Because of my one-sided love, my family suffered. Losing all their money in an instant, my parents chose to end their lives rather than to go through hardship. I almost ended up like them, but I survived for one purpose- to take down Clyde Harrison, the man who took everything away from me. And what better way to get him than through his sworn rival- Judah Kingston- the only man equal to him in everything. ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ "I know that you want Clyde Harrison's head on a platter more than anything. And I can make that happen. All you have to do... is sign this." I said, sliding the envelope over to him. He opened it and examined the contract inside, "What are you proposing?" I put my hands on his table and inched closer. Looking him dead in the eyes, I stated my deal, "Make me your wife."

❝He was an unassailable vault of secrets. She wanted to pick the lock.❞ If there was one thing Noah Carter was known for - apart from the wealth he drowned in, the girls that constantly surrounded him and the almost mesmerising trance of his looks - it was the aura of mystery he donned like a halo; like a dark veil that those at school could decipher only through baseless rumours.

And the result was inevitable - a journey filled with drama, jealousy, secrets, and shocking revelations.
