HEIRS AND HEARTBREAK

At Aureline University, people like them don't usually belong.

Not in buildings named after billionaires.
Not at invitation-only parties hidden above the city.
Not in hallways filled with students who wear power like perfume.

But this year is different.

A new batch of transfer students arrives on campus under circumstances nobody fully understands, and suddenly Aureline feels smaller than it used to. Friend groups shift. Rumors spread faster. People start paying attention to the wrong things.

Especially the wrong people.

Diesel. Style. Atom. Warich.

Boys everyone knows about long before meeting them.

And somehow, despite every warning, Day, Fadel, Tinn, and Tan keep ending up in their orbit.

Maybe it's coincidence.
Maybe it's curiosity.
Maybe some disasters are impossible to avoid.

Because somewhere between late-night conversations, reckless decisions, crowded dorm rooms, and the kind of secrets nobody says out loud, things begin changing too quickly for anyone to stop them.

At Aureline, appearances matter.
Reputations matter more.

And love?

Love is the easiest thing to lie about. Afterall, love is easy.
It's trust that ruins people.
