freya gets some unfortunate news while filming

Freya Skye has spent years cementing her place in her family's London empire. She's professional, she's driven, and she's finally taken seriously-until Malachi arrives. Sent by his parents from across the globe to learn "responsibility," Malachi is the one person Freya has never been able to tolerate. Now, she's forced to share her office and her projects with him, and Freya is about to find out that her biggest professional threat isn't a market crash-it's the guy across the desk who knows exactly how to get under her skin.

✶ malachi & freya ✶ Two signatures. One merger. Zero choice. In the glass-walled towers of the elite, love isn't a feeling-it's a negotiation. For Freya Skye and Malachi Barton, their futures were written in ink before they even knew how to hold a pen. Their parents-the ruthless architects Sarah, Mike, Felicia, and Loren-didn't just build empires; they built a cage, and they called it a Marriage Contract. But how do you play a game when the rules keep shifting? Freya is a firestorm looking for a match; Malachi is the ice that refuses to melt. They are two parallel lines finally forced to intersect, surrounded by a circle of friends who are just as tangled. Between Mckenna's loyalty, Mason's secrets, and Walker's wandering eyes, the line between corporate strategy and genuine heartbeat has never been thinner. It's a world of high-fashion masks and low-whispered threats. It's the feeling of falling when you aren't sure if someone will catch you or simply buy the ground you're about to hit. In a life where everything is scheduled, the only thing they didn't account for was the chaos of the "In-Between." They told them to expect the legacy. They told them to expect the crown. But they forgot to tell them the most important part... Expect the Unexpected.

It shows how Malachi balances his role as a future king with his love for Freya, while she learns to find her own voice and independence within the pressures of modern royalty. Along the way, they face family expectations, media scrutiny, and court politics, all while exploring love, loyalty, and ambition in a high-profile, glamorous world

Malachi and Freya have been neighbours for four years, and for just as long, Malachi has made it his mission to tease her every chance he gets. Freya acts like she can't stand him, rolling her eyes and firing back whenever he annoys her, but deep down, she's had a tiny crush on him since the day they met. Malachi has a reputation for being a player, always with a new girl every week, but Freya has always been different. He has a soft spot for her, even if he'd never admit it. What Freya doesn't know is that Malachi has liked her too, but instead of telling her, he hides it behind teasing, smirks, and pretending she doesn't mean as much to him as she really does.

New country. New house. New Romances. Freya Skye thought her life was over after moving from England to Virginia. Until she meets the boy next door, Malachi Barton. He sweeps her off her feet, and where she expected to find friendship, she unexpectedly finds love.

Freya thought college was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus. New friends. New life. The only thing she didn't expect was being assigned the same dorm room as the one person she couldn't stand. Malachi. Her high school rival. The boy who challenged her in every class, stole her spotlight whenever he could, and somehow always knew exactly how to get under her skin. Now they're forced to share a tiny dorm room for an entire year. Between late-night arguments, competitive study sessions, and constant bickering, Freya is counting down the days until she can escape him. There's just one problem. The more time Malachi spends with Freya, the harder it becomes to ignore the way his heart races whenever she's around. And when other guys start showing interest in her, he realizes he's feeling something far more dangerous than rivalry. Jealousy. Meanwhile, Freya finds herself questioning whether she really hates him as much as she claims. With MK and Kylie determined to play matchmaker and Malia, Josh, and Dara desperately trying to stop them before things get awkward, college life quickly turns into chaos. Because sometimes the line between love and hate is thinner than anyone realizes. And sometimes your biggest rival becomes the one person you can't imagine living without.

Louis Partridge, more commonly known amongst the folk of Wonderland as the Mad Hatter, is observant. He can read people like a book, and he uses that to his advantage all the time. Gaining these skills wasn't an easy thing. It took many, many nights of noticing how people move, how they change with their feelings. People call him the Mad Hatter because they think he's gone mad for lurking in the shadows and studying people. But the British observer does this for a different reason than most of them think. The Princess of Hearts, Olivia Jones, is cruel. Raised by a vile queen, she herself became cruel. But not because she wanted to be. Because she never got the love she needed to be anything but what she is today. All of that love went to her twin brother, Everett Jones. A heartless soul, as the people call her, that causes most destruction in the kingdom. In her 19 years of life, all she's done is cause trouble for her mother, Bridget Jones. Though everybody thinks Olivia is horrible, no one has ever thought to ask why. Not until the Mad Hatter crosses her path. Louis meets Olivia, but is stunned when he can't read her like most. But he's also intrigued by the heartless princess. Will Olivia tell him why she's like this? Will Louis tell her why he likes to read and understand people? Will the Mad Hatter and the Princess of Hearts become enemies? Friends? Or something more?

That dear friend is the one and only Felicia Barton. When the outgoing boy meets the quiet girl, he's stunned when she doesn't like him in any way. How will he get the uptight princess to relax?
