For most people, being a scholar of the mayor is an honor.
For πΊππππ π¨ππππ π½πππππππππ, it's a debt he can never fully repay.
Smart, principled, and quiet, Silas just wants to finish college, graduate with honors, and give back to the town that gave him a chance. But everything starts to unravel when he crosses paths with πΉππππ πͺππππ πΊππππππππ - the charismatic, untouchable, and infuriating son of the mayor.
Riven has it all - looks, money, connections, and freedom. But behind the confident facade is a boy exhausted from pretending to be the perfect heir to his father's political legacy. When he meets Silas, someone who treats him like π«πΆπ΄π΅ π’π―π°π΅π©π¦π³ π΄π΅πΆπ₯π¦π―π΅ and not the "mayor's son," he's both irritated... and intrigued.
Forced to work together for the town's annual youth leadership summit, sparks fly - but not the good kind. Arguments turn into banters. Cold shoulders become stolen glances. And soon, what started as a rivalry shifts into something neither of them expected.
But what happens when rumors begin to spread? When the mayor himself starts to notice the closeness between his son and his favorite scholar? In a town where image is everything, how much are they willing to risk for something real?
