On the first day of school, my childhood sweetheart boyfriend, Xander Harris, took me to school, but we met a two-faced roommate. She flattered him, praising his exceptional maturity for his age. Yet, she accused me of being vain, carrying a knock-off designer bag, and creating a rich persona. As I tidied my bed, she dramatically gasped. "Wasn't that wealthy older benefactor who accompanied you yesterday supposed to rent you a place near campus? What happened? Did he change his mind?" When she learned that my boyfriend and I planned to marry right after graduation, she shouted loud, "You can't be serious! Are there still gold diggers who want to get something for nothing and rely on men?" Inside, I was laughing hysterically. Wealthy older benefactor? That was my dad! And my boyfriend? Just the son of my dad's driver.

Chapter 1

On the first day of school, my childhood sweetheart boyfriend, Xander Harris, took me to school, but we met a two-faced roommate.

She flattered him, praising his exceptional maturity for his age.

Yet, she accused me of being vain, carrying a knock-off designer bag, and creating a rich persona.

As I tidied my bed, she dramatically gasped. "Wasn't that wealthy older benefactor who accompanied you yesterday supposed to rent you a place near campus? What happened? Did he change his mind?"

When she learned that my boyfriend and I planned to marry right after graduation, she shouted loud, "You can't be serious! Are there still gold diggers who want to get something for nothing and rely on men?"

Inside, I was laughing hysterically.

Wealthy older benefactor? That was my dad!

And my boyfriend? Just the son of my dad's driver.

...

On the first day of my college, Xander accompanied me for registration.

He had just earned my parents' approval, and it was time for him to make a good impression.

He dressed in the outfit I recently gifted him from our tailor, and my dad even specially approved a Maybach for me and had Xander be responsible for my transportation throughout college.

Upon arriving at the school, I headed to the dormitory to greet my roommates, concerned that someone might be changing clothes, making it awkward for Xander to come up later.

To my surprise, the dorm door was wide open, yet the room was empty.

As I was about to toss my bag onto a bed I felt drawn to, a harsh voice sounded from the doorway, "What are you doing? That's my bed!"

I turned to see a woman standing angrily by the door.

I thought I had nearly claimed her bed, so I walked over and apologized, "Sorry, I thought this bed was unoccupied."

Unexpectedly, she slapped my hand away and looked me up and down with disdain, finally fixing her gaze on my bag. "Good thing you didn't throw your bag on it. I'm picky, and if a knock-off designer bag touches my bed, I'll have nightmares."

A knock-off designer bag?

This bag was a new arrival from the boutique, delivered personally by the salesperson. Yet she called it fake?

"My bag is the real deal. You're carrying a fake one around and creating a rich persona?" She said, flaunting her bag in front of me before quickly pulling it back.

"Get out of my way! I don't want your poverty and bad luck rubbing off on me." With that, she swung her bag onto her shoulder and pushed past me, bumping my shoulder.

I forced myself to keep calm and took deep breaths.

However, I couldn't take it anymore.

Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves and grab her hair from behind, my phone rang.

It was my dad calling, reminding me to learn to live harmoniously with others, as this was the first test on my journey to becoming an heir.

Returning to the dorm, I saw Xander had come up at some point, awkwardly dealing with that woman's flattery. "Hello, sir. Are you here to drop off your sister at school? I'm Erika Jones, also in this dorm.

Let me help you with your luggage. I'm not like other women who are pampered. I came by myself. Sir, your outfit is leagues above the guys I know. You must come from a good family, right?"

Erika enthusiastically took the bag from Xander's hand, and while pulling it, she deliberately rubbed her chest against Xander's arm.

I watched Xander blush in his tailored outfit, recalling Erika's unapologetic disdain for the poor, and started to understand her.

I stood aside with great interest until Xander noticed me. He took a few steps back reflexively, like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a lifebuoy. "Corrine, you're here."

THEY COULDN'T BE TOGETHER AT THE START. ARE THEY DESTINED TO STAY APART UNTIL THE END? She's the heir to the throne, yet her heart is calling after something else... Princess Reida's academic pursuit takes her on a journey to Incanta – a world inhabited by witches, wizards, dragon shifters, wraiths, and irascibles. While her mind is broadened and mystified just as she'd hoped, developing feelings for a certain wizard was not part of her plan, especially not when he is her professor. He's no stranger to injustice, but the biggest one may be his undoing... Professor Theodore Ischyrós is ambitious and accomplished in a way few beings are. He keeps his past close at all times and has learned to mistrust and doubt almost everyone. The moment he laid eyes on her he knew he'd been struck by magic. The moment she began speaking he knew he was done for. He's determined to keep professional lines clear until she graduated. But when that day comes, would she be available for him to pursue? She's a princess – the heir to the lycan throne, and his best friend's cousin. And things only get worse when the heir to Incanta's throne seems to be after her hand as well.
