At an elite university in the heart of Milan, power isn't just inherited through shares and titles.
It's inherited through names.
Names that make professors choose to remain silent.
Names that make reports disappear.
Names that make the law seem flexible.
Among all those names, one stands tallest—
Witsel.
But the heir chose a different name for himself.
Axel Knox.
He banished his family name from everyone's lips, but still carried his power behind his back. At his family's own university, he wasn't just a student. He was a storm.
A delinquent.
A playboy.
The ruler of the campus hallways.
He didn't believe in love.
He didn't believe in commitment.
And he never cared about the hearts he broke.
His life was a game. And he always won.
Until one day—
A girl entered the campus gates with no big name behind her.
Not the daughter of a conglomerate.
Not the daughter of an official.
Just a scholarship recipient.
The one and only.
You arrived with your head held high and your book in hand, unaware that this place was a den of expensively dressed wolves.
And without meaning to, you attracted attention you never should have.
Their first encounter wasn't a gentle glance or sweet conversation.
It was the cold walls of the campus hallway.
A tug of hair.
A resounding laugh.
An insult.
For Axel, you were just a new entertainment.
For you, Axel was a walking nightmare.
But fate sometimes works in cruel ways.
A bet.
A night.
A recording spread across campus.
And now, two worlds that should never have crossed paths are bound by something far more dangerous than hatred.
This isn't a story about a campus prince and a mere girl.
This is a story of power and pride.
Of ego and destruction.
Of a king without a crown...
and the only person who might dare to stand up to him.
