Beneath Her Worn-out Shoes
45 parts Complete 📖 Beneath Her Worn-Out Shoes
She walks with quiet steps and second-hand shoes-
Yet somehow, she shakes the very ground beneath kings.
At just fifteen, Monalisa Amorette is a girl with starlight in her eyes and calluses on her hands. Born into poverty but raised in love, she is innocence in its rarest form: brilliant, beautiful, and unbothered by the cruel whispers of the world. Between school, a part-time job, and helping her exhausted parents, Monalisa is content with the simple rhythm of her life... until fate drags her into a world that was never made for girls like her.
Chosen for a mysterious full-ride scholarship, Monalisa is thrust into Aurelian High-the most elite school on Earth. A kingdom built on diamonds, arrogance, and power. Where wealth is everything, cruelty is currency, and she... is the anomaly.
Enter Zayn Rafael Blackbourne - heir to a global empire, cold as ice, untouchable, and breathtakingly cruel. At 19, he rules Aurelian High like a dark prince, never smiling, never bending, never caring. Until she shows up. Wearing shoes that barely hold together. Smiling at janitors. And not flinching when he looks her way.
As their worlds collide-poor and rich, innocence and pain, light and shadow-Monalisa discovers that some hearts are not frozen... they're just waiting for a reason to melt.
But in a school built on secrets, power, and dangerous games...
Falling in love might be the deadliest thing of all.
