Nerd's Unexpected Affection

The tension at Rashford Academy was about to shift from grade point averages to something far more dangerous: the heart.
While Isabel was celebrating her GH₵10,000.00 success and helping her mother's boutique, a storm was brewing in the upper echelons of the school. Bianca, still stinging from having to share her first-place spot with a "scholarship girl," had much bigger problems than a test result. Her parents, cold and calculating, had presented her with a leather-bound folder that changed everything-a marriage contract.
The target? Desmond. The school's notorious playboy, the boy who moved through the hallways like he owned the air everyone else breathed.
Desmond didn't do commitment, but he did do legacy. He had been backed into a corner; the only way to claim his late mother's estate-the only piece of her he had left-was to sign his name on the dotted line next to Bianca's. He thought it was just business. A trick of the trade.
He didn't account for the nerd.
Isabel, with her ink-stained fingers and her fierce loyalty to her mother, was never supposed to be part of the equation. She was the girl who delivered dresses and worried about mud on her skirt. Desmond was the boy who broke hearts for sport.
But in the quiet corners of the library and the long shadows of the Rashford hallways, an unexpected affection began to bloom. The playboy found himself drawn to the girl who saw the world through equations and truth, while the nerd found herself falling for the boy behind the "playboy" mask-the one who was just as trapped as she was.
Now, with a marriage contract looming and Bianca's rivalry turning from academic to personal, the stakes at Rashford Academy have never been higher. For Isabel and Desmond, the most difficult test they'll ever take isn't on the notice board.
It's whether love can survive a contract designed to kill it.
