To her family, she was selfish. To his, a schemer. To Alexander Hale, she was a wife he never wanted, met only with glacial contempt. They crafted a villain from the only innocent among them, blind to the devastating truth of her sacrifice. Some debts of the heart are paid in secret, and some secrets demand a price no one saw coming.

DISCLAIMER: THE MALE MC PRESENTS TOXIC BEHAVIOR

At the most prestigious school on earth, justice doesn't come from the principal's office. It comes from someone wearing a mask. Aureus International doesn't educate students, it ranks them, sorting children into tiers by blood and bank balance until the line between privilege and punishment starts to blur. Money buys silence here. Corruption wears a uniform. And when the system protects the wrong people one too many times, someone starts making them pay for it. They call this someone W. No face. No pattern anyone can prove. Just security footage that loops at the same hour, every time, and a string of golden reputations left in ruins by morning. Eight students walk these halls with more to hide than the rest of the school combined: old debts, older secrets, and a silence none of them are willing to break first. Whether they're hunting W, hiding from W, or something far messier than either, none of them are saying. They say the truth always comes to light, but at Aureus, even light has learned to keep secrets. ______________________________________ Side note: 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 1 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐮𝐞𝐭 Ib: School 2017 Release days: Whenever I get time. ⚠️ The image used in the cover is not mine. ⚠️

You like it when I command you, you like what we're doing; being dirty, naughty... dangerous when someone could just walk in" He shivered, then I slowly reached out and pulled out his glasses and carefully dropped it on the desk and looked back at him. "Do you wanna be a good boy for me?" He nodded. "Words Chris" "Yes mommy" I smirked and bit my lip "that's more like it" I slowly peeled off my dress, then my underwear, and lifted his chin to face me then spoke. "Now be a good boy and listen" NOTICE!!!!! This is a sequel to my first book, "MINE". If you're new to the series, I definitely recommend reading it first to get the full story.
