Bullied for her weight and overlooked for her beauty, she found comfort in simple things: teaching children, singing when no one was listening, and believing that kindness still mattered. Then came Prithvi Varma. A billionaire. A business tycoon. A man who believed every relationship came with a price tag. When his parents choose Malini as their future daughter-in-law, Prithvi agrees only to keep them happy. Before their wedding, he looks into her eyes and tells her the truth.

And sometimes... it changes a billionaire forever.

Montrose Institute doesn't accept applications. It finds you. Hera just wanted wifi and a nap. Miles just wanted 200 followers. Valkyrie just wanted her card to go through. Julian just wanted his socks to match, for once. Sylvie just wanted to bake in peace. Instead, they got one exploded baking exhibition, a 100+ year old cereal box with an attitude problem (his name is Jake, he's rude, don't ask), and five brand new suspects in a police interrogation before any of them even started high school. Magic is real. Nobody consented to this. And the cereal box is judging you specifically. Montrose was never really a school.

She had never been meant to be seen in the way she was seen. He had never been meant to look twice. In a world governed by silence, appearances, and carefully arranged futures, Cordelia Vane had lived as a presence just outside attention-until Lord Frederick Ashby changed the shape of every room she entered simply by noticing her. What began in a crowded London musicale became a sequence of impossible moments: stolen conversations behind glass, walks through gardens that felt too quiet to be innocent, and letters that said less than they admitted. Frederick carried the weight of an inherited estate and expectations that left little space for deviation. Cordelia carried the expectation of becoming something useful, acceptable, and safely positioned. Neither had accounted for what it meant when observation became recognition. As society watched and reinterpreted every interaction into a rumor, both were drawn deeper into a connection that refused to remain appropriately distant. What unfolded between them was shaped by restraint, pressure, and timing that never quite aligned, yet still moved forward. And in the end, what mattered most was not how the world interpreted them-but that, despite everything, they continued to choose each other. ©️ Relle H.
