All Chapters of The Campus King's Secret : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Nyra's POV The first time Kaizen Arclair ruined my life, he did it with one comment.I stared at my phone screen inside the crowded café kitchen, barely hearing the manager yell at someone behind me.“TOP SCHOLARSHIP WINNER OF BLACKTHORNE HEIGHTS UNIVERSITY.”My picture sat proudly under the headline, still unreal after several months of sleepless nights, double shifts, and surviving on instant noodles.Three thousand comments.Then one verified account sat at the top.Kaizen Arclair.Of course, Campus king of Blackthorne Heights,Rich boy, Internet favorite, Professional menace.His comment had over twenty thousand likes already.“Scholarship students always arrive acting independent until they start feeding off rich kids.”The entire kitchen suddenly felt hotter, cold sweat broke on my forehead. I reread it once.Twice.Then I laughed, not because it was funny…because boys like him always thought money made them untouchable.I wiped my hands on my apron and typed back.“Interestin

Nyra's pov Attending the Blackthorne Heights Freshers Gala was probably a terrible idea, Whiich was exactly why I went. The entire campus had been talking about the party since morning. Apparently it was less of a “welcome event” and more of an elite social parade where rich freshmen showed off designer outfits and fake personalities beneath expensive chandeliers. Normally, I would’ve stayed inside my room peacefully, But after days in that penthouse with annoying Kaizen, Seraphina's saga and all, I realized I needed to cool off and feed my eyes.Even if my reputation on campus already felt dangerously fragile.The moment I stepped out of my suite, I nearly turned back around, the dress hugged my body too perfectly. Soft black satin draped elegantly over my curves, the fabric shimmering subtly whenever light touched it. The slit along one side revealed just enough leg to feel dangerous without trying too hard, the sleeves were sheer, the back dipped low and the black veil rest

Nyra's pov I noticed the smell first, Coffee, Warm bread…Something expensive.Then I realized, this definitely wasn't my room.My eyes snapped open.Gray walls, dark furniture, huge windows overlooking Vancouver, a guitar by the wall and a familiar black hoodie on a chair.My stomach dropped…Oh no.Slowly, I turned my head and a sleeping figure lay beside me.Dark hair, sharp jawline,gray sheets.Kaizen Arclair.I froze."What the hell?!"Kaizen groaned and pulled a pillow over his face."Five more minutes.""KAIZEN!"One eye opened, then the other, He looked at me.And smiled."Morning."I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him."What am I doing in your room?!""You passed out.""I passed out in the study room!""And now you're here.""That's not an explanation!"He laughed."You looked uncomfortable and I don't have access to your room""So you carried me here?""You're welcome."I stood up.Bad idea.The room spun.Before I could fall, a hand caught my wrist.Strong.Warm.Steady.

Nyra's pov The photograph trembled in my hands,..My mother's smile was genuinely unmistakable.She looked younger, Happier and Alive.Standing beside her was a man I vaguely recognized.Dark amber eyes,A calm smile,A familiar face like a striking resemblance.For one strange moment, relief flooded through me."Oh."The word escaped before I could stop it.Kaizen frowned.I pointed at the picture."I know him."His entire body stiffened."You do?"I nodded immediately, I could see clearly his curious look."Mom used to talk about him."Hope flickered briefly across his face, which disappeared almost immediately."She said he was an old family friend."Silence engulfed the room….The kind that felt heavy.I looked down at the photograph again."He helped her years ago."My fingers brushed the faded edge."She said he was one of the few good people she knew."“Why do you have it”? Kaizen's jaw tightened.Something about my answer bothered him a lot."But..." he started carefully.I l

The nurse smiled warmly as she adjusted the IV attached to my hand."You know," she said casually, checking the monitor beside my bed, "your boyfriend almost gave everyone in this hospital a heart attack."I frowned."My what?"She looked surprised, "The young man who brought you in."There was a brief pause…."He's not my boyfriend."The nurse laughed softly."Really? Because he certainly acted like one."My stomach tightened, I didn't answerShe continued anyway."He carried you into the emergency room himself. Didn't even wait for a wheelchair."Something uncomfortable twisted inside my chest."He wouldn't leave your side all night."I stared at her.The nurse seemed oblivious to the effect her words were having."He paid every bill before we even finished processing your admission.""What?"The word escaped before I could stop it.The nurse nodded."Surgery. Medication. Hospital expenses."Her smile softened."Everything… he's so sweet"For a moment, I thought I had heard her wro
