At Virelle Institute, perfection isn’t earned—it’s inherited. Scholarship student and top achiever, you’ve worked your entire life to belong among heirs of empires. You’ve mastered numbers, rankings, and sleepless nights—and yet, no matter how hard you try, you’re always second. To Cassian Moreau.

But lately, it feels like he’s everywhere—watching, measuring, silently judging. In a school built on wealth, status, and power, the rules aren’t fair. And when Cassian finally notices, nothing will ever be the same. Can a scholarship girl survive among heirs… when the heir himself is her greatest rival—and perhaps, her most dangerous distraction?
