My poverty is a line item in their
budget. My body is a punchline in
their halls. And the king of this icy
empire? He's my boss's son.
Anya's full-ride scholarship to
Kingswood Academy is her ticket
out. But it comes with a price: the
relentless cruelty of the elite, led by
Levi Thorne—hockey god, billionaire heir, and the architect of her daily
hell.

Her only refuge is her
paycheck, the one that keeps the
lights on at home.

The brutal irony? She earns it by
cleaning his family's mansion.

smirk in the marble halls.

The boy who wrote the checks for
her pain is now cashing them on his
own conscience. His "sorry" isn't
just a word; it's a revolution.

He's calling off his friends, guarding her path, and looking at her like she's
the prize, not the punchline.

But in a world built on labels, can
the "fat scholarship girl" ever
believe the love of the "golden
hockey puck"? Or will the final
check she writes be on her own heart to save it from breaking?

Do all men lose interest in their wives after marriage?

We’ve been married for five years, and he never touched me.

At first he said he wasn’t well, so I was understanding. Later he recovered, but still kept me far away.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, my sister came in for a check-up, clearly pregnant with his child.

The truth hit me hard: he wasn’t incapable. He was just incapable with me.

I drew up the divorce papers, ready to end this empty marriage.

On the reason for divorce, I wrote with my own hand:

“Male sexual dysfunction; no marital relations in five years.”

He only smiled coldly when he saw it.

A week later, in the urology clinic.

I put on my medical gloves, looked at him, and said calmly:

“Sir, will you undress yourself, or shall I help you?”

His disapproval didn’t take away my confidence.

I still embraced better things in my career and love life!

But his life started to be filled with one accident after another.
