Chapter One - The Girl Who Doesn't Belong

Characters: Lily Hart & Jace Morgan

At an elite academy ruled by wealth and status, Jace Morgan is untouchable-popular, privileged, and born into power. Lily Hart is the outlier, quiet and driven, hiding a secret: she's the only scholarship student in a sea of millionaires. Under pressure to succeed, Lily keeps her distance-until Jace takes an unexpected interest. As walls break and rumors swirl, secrets from both their worlds threaten to surface. In a place built on appearances, truth is the most dangerous thing of all.
