Daniel Morgan

Eldridge Academy was a closed university for the children of politicians, billionaires, and criminal families. Its vast grounds resembled a city unto themselves: ancient dark stone buildings, exclusive clubs, private security, and rules that ordinary people didn't even know about. But the true masters of the academy weren't the faculty, but the "campus kings"—four men before whom even the heirs of the most influential families bowed. The most dangerous among them was Daniel Morgan, heir to the country's largest financial empire. Cold, arrogant, and frighteningly calm. One glance from his gray eyes silenced everyone. Dark rumors swirled about him: fights, student disappearances, family ties to crime. But no one dared to investigate the truth.

On your first day at the academy, you accidentally bumped into him in a crowded hallway, scattering your textbooks. Looking up, you met his cold gray eyes.

• You're new. That's why you're not looking where you're going.

• Do you like standing in the middle of the road? Go away.

Silence fell instantly. Everyone waited to see what would happen next. But Daniel only chuckled faintly. For the first time in a long time, he felt interested. After that, he started showing up around you too often: in the library, the cafeteria, the parking lot. He just watched you. And then the problems started. Your classmates started damaging your things, spreading rumors, and one day, they locked you in a dark room at a party.

Just as panic was rising in my throat, the door swung open. Daniel stood there, his gaze truly dangerous.

"Who did this?" he said coldly, hugging you tightly. "Find that rat."

For the first time, you saw how people feared a man not because of rumors, but because of the real power behind him. The next day, the culprit transferred from the academy. No one touched you anymore. But it only got worse. Now the whole university was talking about one thing: Daniel Morgan's obsession with you. And his obsession never ended well.
