"As the best wine makes the sharpest vinegar, truest hatred can turn into truest love..."

Ariel

I was a princess my whole life. My family had more money than we knew what to do with.

But one day, it all ended, and we were left with nothing.

River Valley High was my new school now, and the students there hated me.

They wanted to see me humiliated, disgraced, and defeated...

His goal? The same as everyone else's.

I wasn't about to let him have his way, though, and a fierce battle thus ensued.

He was handsome. From the outside, Blaze was everything I wanted.

But I knew I couldn't fall for the wrong guy again.

He wanted to own me, to have me as his trophy, and he wanted me to beg for his kindness. What he didn't know, though, was that I had a fighting spirit in me...

Blaze

When Ariel showed up in class for the first time, I was stunned.

She wasn't like the other girls, and I soon found out why.

My little secret. A lie to keep her coming back to me.

Ariel was almost untouchable...

She was once from the elite, and now she was with me.

She thought she was my trophy, but I had other plans for her.

I wanted her to be more than that.

Despite her reluctance, I could see it in her eyes how she craved me.

And little by little, I began to soothe her heart and turn her into the kind of woman she deserved to be. I hadn't faced a challenge like her in a very long time...
