At Royal Heights High, Aurelina Oluwatomisin Adeniran rules with quiet authority. As the undisputed queen of her school, she commands respect from her peers with a mix of intellect, beauty, and sheer presence. Her world is one of perfection nothing gets past her, and no one dares challenge her throne. She's built her power through years of cultivating relationships, ensuring loyalty, and leaving no room for weakness. She's untouchable, or so she believes. However, her carefully constructed world is thrown into disarray when Zhiyong Nden Balami, a mysterious and aloof new student from the northern part of Nigeria, arrives at the school. Unlike everyone else, Zhiyong doesn't seem impressed by Aurelina's status, nor does he play by her rules. His calm and calculated demeanor immediately catches her attention-and not in the way she's used to. He doesn't flatter her. He doesn't try to win her favor. In fact, he seems entirely indifferent to her. As their paths cross, Aurelina begins to feel a rare sense of vulnerability, something she hasn't experienced before. The more she tries to break through his defenses, the more she is intrigued by his resistance. What makes him tick? Why does he seem unaffected by her? Is this the one person who might not bow to her?

Kanu's mornings began with nausea, chores, and a fresh wave of taunts, each day reminding her that she was an outsider in her own home. Preet, torn between love and fear, longed for peace but found his voice slipping away under his father Anit Singh's shadow-a man who thrived on control and psychological warfare. Even small acts, like tasting Panjiri or cooking a simple meal, turned into scenes of humiliation. Kanu endured in silence, afraid to lose the only support she thought she had. Yet the real question loomed: will Preet ever rise to defend her, or will his voice be completely muzzled by his narcissistic family? Copyright © 2025 Renu. All Rights Reserved.
