Aurelian University isn’t just elite—it’s a kingdom. And this year, it’s getting a new ruler… and a new rebel. Aria Devraj has survived four years of whispers, power plays, and being “that girl with the scholarship.” She’s not here for parties or princes. Just her degree—and freedom. Damien Albrecht arrives like a storm. Quiet. Cold. Deadly. No one knows he’s a royal in exile. No one but Aria, who sees something he didn’t mean to show. They hate each other on sight. But hate is just passion wrapped in armor. And when the masks fall? The crown will tremble. And hearts will break.
He looked at me like he hated me.
He kissed me like he didn’t.
There was thunder outside, and rage in his voice.
“I warned you not to trust me,” he said.
“Then why did you let me?” I whispered.
His hand gripped my wrist—not to hurt, but to hold back the shaking.
His lips were close. Too close.
And then… he lied.
“Because I wanted to break something beautiful.”
