Her father, Harry Declan, gave up everything to raise her as a stay-at-home dad. Her mother, Mia, instilled in her the power of being a woman in control. From the age of 5, she’s been in the public eye. Her school interview went viral. The media dubbed her “The Youngest Billionaire,” but behind the headlines was a child molded with precision, passion, and discipline.

And for once, she felt the quiet satisfaction of a life where skill, endurance, and compassion had triumphed over cruelty and deception. Even as the night deepened, the world outside buzzed and turned, yet inside that room, peace reigned. The Hidden Genius, long underestimated and maligned, was now fully recognized.

Daisy crumpled to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. My instincts screamed at me to comfort her, to pull her close and shield her from the humiliation. But I couldn’t. My rage was focused on the real enemy—Arlene. “Maybe you should tell the world how you survived!” I spat, my teeth gritted in frustration and loss.

Tonight was an exclusive gathering, where power, ambition, and hidden agendas danced beneath elegant smiles. Serena entered in a simple yet striking black gown. Her hair was perfectly styled, her expression composed, betraying nothing of the storm raging inside her.

“How about I triple it? Make it a million, and you can vanish from in front of me.” His eyes flare with anger, his pride clearly wounded. “What! You think you’re rich? You don’t have $1 million!” he sneers, stepping closer. “Just because you came out of a car with a pretty face, you think you can talk to me like that? You’re nothing but a—” “Watch your mouth,” Helena cuts in sharply, her voice dripping with cold fury. “Or I’ll make sure you regret every word that comes out of it.” But he doesn’t listen. “You think you can scare me? You’re just another gold-digging— bitc..”

Would she be crazy to push her away? “Aidie…” Luna turned to the only familiar person she could trust. For the first time since she woke up, Aiden walked over, pulled out his phone, turned on the camera, and pointed it at Luna’s face. Her eyes widened. Her hands shot up to touch her face—this face. This face was a public figure. This face belonged to the girl who had inherited all the Rose assets—the top family in the nation. She was a billionaire heiress.

​"You left your ID at the office." ​I hold up a plastic card. It is a blank key. A trap. She reaches for it. I grab her wrist. Her skin is ice.
