The Underestimated Secret Heir Chapter 1 Campus Life

"Cassandra, what's happening here? Don't tell me my eyes aren't deceiving me. Oh, it is; it's deceiving me because this can't happen to me. No, you can't do this!" Rex yelled at Cassandra, who was still lying on the bed with no remorse.

Rex and Cassandra had been secretly dating. Many times, Rex approached Cassandra and brought up the topic that he wanted an open relationship, but Cassandra would threaten that they'd split if he ever brought up the topic, so he decided to remain silent over the matter like a slave.

On a fateful afternoon, a day before the coming celebration of Valentine's Day which everyone among the students has been longing for. Rex and his friend Andrea were discussing at his dormitory as Andrea was also busy scrolling down on his phone and browsing the internet.

"Bro, guess what!" Andrea exclaimed out of excitement after coming across a post and seeing the picture of Kanye West and Cassandra.

"Yes, you know I'm not good at guessing, so go straight to the point and stop beating about the bush," Rex reluctantly replied.

"Kanye West has proposed to Cassandra!"

"Which Cassandra are you talking about? You mean Cassandra Knight?" Rex asked in disbelief.

"Exactly, bro, the girl is just f*ckin' lucky to have such a person propose to her; I'm happy for her," Andrea replied with a smile on his face.

"Come on, man, you always make expensive jokes! Go take a pill if you're daydreaming," Rex replied in disbelief.

"I bet you, it's not a joke or daydream either; you can check the post by yourself," Andrea said, trying to hand Rex the phone, but he barked at him: "Go away with your fake news, please."

Andrea stared at him in disbelief. How could Rex find it difficult to believe what he told him? He stood up to leave, but Rex grabbed him back.

"Where did you say you got this false news from?" he asked Andrea with a confused look.

Andrea thought for a while, thinking about what could be the cause of Rex's action. He wondered why Rex would doubt him and refuse to see the evidence he was showing him.

"Man, if you can't believe it, then forget about it. Let's talk about something reasonable; besides, I don't know why you acted like you're not happy with the girl, or do you keep a grudge against her, or have you in any way had any problem or misunderstanding with her? Tell me so I can reconcile both of you," Andrea suggested.

"How many times do you want me to say go away before you hear me out? Or you didn't hear me when I said that you should buzz off? Get the hell out of my sight. I do not want to see you" he yelled at him.

"I do not wish to say anything to you or speak with you. Please leave. And I'm not holding any grudges against anyone, I hope you respect my request and stay away from me." He explained in a harsh tone.

"Alright, man, we are not quarrelling, let me leave your presence. Just a few minutes ago, we discussed the last event that was hosted by the campus, how the big boys stormed the event, and how the audience got carried away and lost concentration on the ongoing program and focused on the big champs and their exotic cars.

"Just a few minutes ago and you had already developed mood swings; I wonder what would happen if you were a girl," Andrea said and left the room, leaving Rex isolated.

As soon as Andrea left the room, Rex rushed to his phone, which its screen had been broken to the point of being unrepairable. He unlocked it and wanted to check what Andrea said to confirm it himself. He searched for Macro on his app list but could not find it, and just then he realized he had deleted it months ago as it consumed more data than other social media he was using. He could not afford to exhaust 2GB of mobile data only on watching reels and short videos on Macro, while 500MB would go a long way for him on other social media platforms. He hissed as he realized he could not see the post by himself if he did not install the Macro app.

He opened his app store to install it, and after typing the name 'Macro', it appeared. He pressed the install option, however, it stopped after rolling for a few seconds; it had only loaded two percent of the app data.

"Gosh! What's wrong with this phone of mine, It seems the network issue has started again,' He hissed and exited the app, he reopened it, and had the same experience, being confused, he decided to check his data balance, however, he realized it had been exhausted. He became angry and instantly dialled his usual code for borrowing, but the response he got annoyed him: "Dear customer, you have exceeded your standard limit of borrowing; kindly clear up your existing balance of $200 to continue. Thank you."

"Oh, sh*t! Why now? Why now I wanted to confirm if what Andrea was saying was true," he said and angrily flung his phone back onto his bed.

He dressed to go out as his curiosity to find out upsurges, maybe this could decrease it. He was dressing to go to the campus handball field.

"No, this can't be true. I trust Cassandra, and I know she won't do that. Maybe Andrea mistook her for someone else because Kanye is good at changing and dumping girls; he may have thought Cassandra could fall for that sh*t," he hissed.

"After how many years we have been together, starting from our childhood, Andrea now thinks Kanye's wealth could move my girl," he monologued as he was heading to the handball field.

After walking halfway to the handball court, he realized going to the field would worsen his depressed mode, as the majority of the handball players were among those who despised him and would not allow him to participate in playing or allow him to watch without throwing abusive remarks at him.

He remembered the last time he went there, one of them even tried to bully him, but he escaped, not minding that he could kick the guy's ass out. He fled because he knew others would not stare at him while he beat their colleague.

To avoid being made to feel uncomfortable by those boys, he returned home.

"No, alright, I'll find out by myself, I will find out when I visit Cassandra this Valentine's Day, yes, I'll find out, and I'll make Andrea suffer for this he put me into if it eventually becomes a lie. Few more days to Valentine's Day; we shall see," he smirked.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda
4.7

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

C.D
4.5

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
