Marlene Blackwood was born into wealth, power, and a family that thrives on control. At Blackwood Academy, she is praised as the perfect daughter—beautiful, talented, and untouchable. But behind the luxury and privilege, the Blackwood name hides dark secrets, and Marlene is beginning to realize she’s only a pawn in a dangerous game. Then Ethan La Rosa appears. Cold, mysterious, and fiercely guarded, Ethan doesn’t belong at the academy. He is the kind of man Marlene has been warned to avoid—yet something about him draws her in, like a storm she can’t escape. Ethan’s eyes hold pain, and his silence hides a past filled with blood and betrayal. Ethan didn’t come to Blackwood Academy by chance.

At the family recognition banquet meant to introduce the real heiress, a stream of floating comments suddenly appeared before my eyes: [So, the real heiress tried to get back at the fake one by stealing the engagement gift from her and the male lead and got caught red-handed.] [Even if she’s technically the fiancée, he knows who he really loves. The fake heiress is the one he actually wants.] [What fiancée? She’s just a thief. Send her back to whatever slum she crawled out of.] Dressed in a princess gown and surrounded by admirers, the fake heiress, Luna Lawson, walked up to me: “Risa, you’re finally back. Mom, Dad, and I have missed you so much. From now on, we’re a family.” I quietly kept eating my fried chicken. When Luna saw me ignore her, her eyes suddenly reddened. Then she reached into my worn backpack and pulled out a ladies’ wristwatch. “Why did you steal the engagement gift Brian gave me? I know you’re dissatisfied with me, but that doesn’t mean you can become a thief!” My fiancé, Brian Cook, looked at me with open disgust. “Return it to Luna right now, then get out of this house.” Under the scornful gazes of the guests, I pointed at the man on stage, my father, who was clinking glasses with Luna’s adoptive father, and asked in confusion. “What exactly did I steal? I’m not here for some family reunion. I just came along with my boss to grab a free meal.” The comments exploded: [This is way too awkward. She’s not the real heiress; she’s just an employee?!]
