Prologue.
Alden High was not just a school; it was a battlefield. Here, the power of status reigned supreme, and the halls echoed with the silent yet fierce clashes of ambition. The students, many from the wealthiest and most influential families, fought ruthlessly for supremacy. In this world of privilege and cutthroat competition, the weak were swiftly cast aside, and only the most cunning and powerful could hope to survive, let alone thrive.
At the center of this elite institution were Sara Ed and Sid De, two individuals from vastly different worlds, bound by a shared past. Sara Ed, the prodigious daughter of the richest family in the city, was a force to be reckoned with. Her family owned over a hundred companies, and she had been groomed from a young age to inherit this vast empire. With a CEO attitude and a determination to get whatever she wanted, Sara commanded respect and fear in equal measure. Her prodigious talents and relentless drive made her the queen of Alden High.
In stark contrast was Sid De, a poor orphan who had endured a harsh childhood. Sid entered Alden High on a scholarship, his brilliant mind his only ticket to this world of privilege. Despite his disadvantaged background, Sid had a deep bond with Sara. They had been childhood friends, and Sara had always protected him from the bullies who sought to torment him. When Sid proposed to Sara at the age of fourteen, she accepted, and their relationship began with Sara firmly in control. But at the end of their first year at Alden High, Sid left without a word, shattering Sara’s heart and leaving her to face the relentless pressures of her world alone.

Sara Ed was a complex and formidable character. Raised amidst opulence, she had been taught from an early age that power and control were paramount. Her parents had instilled in her a relentless drive for success, and she wielded her family's immense resources with a ruthless precision. Yet, beneath her seemingly unassailable exterior, Sara's relationship with Sid De had revealed a different side of her. Sid, with his starkly different background, had brought out a rare softness in her. His proposal had been her first experience of love, and she had embraced it wholeheartedly, even as she maintained her dominant position.
When Sid disappeared, it left Sara devastated. She had searched for him frantically, her desperation consuming her. But after four fruitless years, she sealed her heart, vowing never to let anyone see her vulnerability again. Now, with Sid’s unexpected return to Alden High, Sara finds herself torn. The sight of him rekindles old feelings, but it also ignites a burning desire for retribution. She plans to make Sid suffer for the heartache he caused, masking her true emotions behind a facade of coldness and indifference. Yet, even as she plots her vengeance, the love she once felt for Sid still simmers beneath the surface, complicating her quest and revealing the profound impact he had on her life.
In this high-stakes game of power and passion, the reunion of Sara Ed and Sid De promises to be explosive, setting the stage for a battle not just for dominance, but for the very essence of their hearts and souls.
