09:29this course charlotte's smile vanished instantly if anyone here can outperform her his gaze swept
09:35across the room i'll gladly offer the same treatment nobody spoke because nobody could charlotte's

11:57honestly nobody puts up with her personality except me something inside me shattered completely every
12:03late night shift every birthday gift i saved months to buy every time i cried and noah rolled his
12:08eyes saying can you stop being so sensitive now i understand why because to him i was never his
12:13girlfriend just proof he won a game tears finally hit my cheeks but this time i wiped them away
12:18instantly i wasted three years crying over trash my phone buzzed suddenly it's cold outside did you
12:24make it in the only person worrying whether i was cold was lucian before i could think twice i shoved
12:29the lounge door open keep going the laughter died instantly every face turned white noah shot to
12:35his feet ashley i grabbed the whiskey glass off the table and threw it directly in his face the entire
12:41room froze whiskey dripped from noah's jaw slowly his expression cracked i smiled coldly congratulations
12:50noah you won the bet i stepped back too bad then i looked past him straight toward the hallway behind
12:57me
12:58because i have a new boyfriend now absolute silence lucian blackthernt stood in the doorway noah looked
13:05completely stunned and before anyone could speak again i walked to lucian grabbed his hand and left
13:11with him the second we entered lucian's office i let go of his hand thanks for helping me back there
13:18i forced out a breath but you know i didn't mean it right lucian loosened his tie slowly then smiled
13:25a fake boyfriend is still better than being hated by you my heartbeat stumbled noah is a child he never
13:32deserved you next time you need someone his voice dropped lower call me first before i could answer
13:38lucian slid a cup across the desk hot chocolate i blinked i didn't order this i know
13:45i looked up slowly you have low blood sugar how do you know that lucian paused while flipping
13:52through documents you fainted in the library sophomore year my chest tightened the campus
13:58doctor mentioned it even noah forgot that lucian remembered he tapped the file in front of me
14:04analyze page one i forced myself to focus these are real acquisition file i flipped another page faster
14:11lucian this is confidential black thone capital data why are you showing this to a student lucian
14:18heemed back in his chair calmly other students his eyes met mine no you can handle it
14:27i lowered my head quickly and flipped through the files pretending to focus lucian watched me for a
14:32moment then said quietly you're avoiding me i'm not really he stood up then walked toward me i could
14:41feel the warmth of his body behind me lucian leaned down beside my chair one hand braced against the
14:46desk his finger pointed lightly at a line in the report near my shoulder here your analysis is wrong
14:51every muscle in my body locked instantly can you back up a little you should stop looking at me like
14:56that i swallowed hard like what his gray blue eyes locked onto mine like you're about to make a bad
15:03decision suddenly i was thinking about that kiss again the way he lost control for five straight
15:08minutes lucian's gaze dropped briefly to my lips and for one second i thought he was going to kiss me
15:14then lucian noah stood there breathing hard furious and the first thing he saw was lucian leaning over
15:21me with one arm around my chair like he was holding me what the hell are you two doing
15:28so this is your private tutoring a professor hooking up with his student after hours jealousy
15:34practically dripped from every word lucian leniam peed slowly knock before entering noah clenched
15:39his fists lucian didn't even look at him again instead he closed the file in front of me gently
15:43class dismissed ashley then he added black throne capitals doors are open to you i froze i had never
15:50told anyone my career bowls not even noah yet somehow lucian knew noah let out a sharp laugh ashley
15:57when did you start dreaming this big black throne only hires ivy league mbas and billionaire heirs
16:01you're a scholarship student you really think you belong there the words hit exactly where they
16:07were supposed to because that fear had always lived inside me noah stepped closer don't let my brother
16:12fool you he just likes playing with new toys you know what people are saying about you outside he
16:17smirked cruelly they think you're climbing all over lucian because you know i dumped you lucian finally
16:23looked up do you know the difference between you and ashley you inherited power then he looked directly
16:27at me she understands noah's expression changed instantly that night lying in bed i couldn't
16:32stop him playing the way lucian looked at me we'd known each other less than 10 days and somehow he
16:37understood me better than the man i loved for three years ever did the annual university gala looked
16:43like something out of old money heaven crystal champagne towers trust fund heirs pretending they earned their

17:22year old hedge fund manager go ahead say his name wait doesn't the gala have a partner registration list
17:36maybe we should check just to make sure random girls aren't sneaking in
17:45i scanned the crowd instinctively still no sign of lucian ashley carter registered under lucian blackthone
18:04oh my god
18:18no wonder she got special treatment
18:21that's disgusting she literally slept her way into the competition
18:27professor blackthorne gave her private lessons private meetings private nights scholarship slut we
18:37also discovered that parts of ashley carter's thesis may have been plagiarized what that's a lie this is
18:45defamation then prove it
18:49i have recordings i can take all of this to court ashley you need to understand how this looks for
18:56the
18:56reputation of the university until the investigation concludes your scholarship and competition placement
19:02will be suspended my body suddenly felt exhausted not sad not angry just tired tired of rich people
19:10turning lives into games tired of being humiliated publicly while everyone watched for entertainment
19:16beg me one word and i'll make all of this disappear you knew you should have stayed with me
19:25i looked around the ballroom and loneliness hit me all at once
19:30because no matter how hard i worked i was always standing here alone
19:41lucian blackthorne had arrived
19:48mr blackthorne we were just handling a situation handling what my guest being publicly humiliated

20:04easily i could destroy your father's company
20:15lucian there's no reason to escalate this no now there is
20:23charlotte sinclair accused ashley carter of plagiarism
20:26that accusation could permanently destroy her academic career so let's discuss evidence
20:33my breath caught how did he even have all this we barely knew each other when i wrote it ashley
20:40carter has over six months of documented research history now let's compare that to charlotte
20:45sinclair's submission that's impossible actually it's very possible especially when the anonymous
20:52plagiarism report originated from sinclair holdings private network

21:10you didn't even change the citation format noah stared at me like he was seeing me for the first
21:15time you wrote all that i didn't even look at him because suddenly he felt very small black throne
