Liam

You're the new girl at an elite school for the rich. You transferred on a grant, and you're the only "mere mortal" among the children of billionaires. Everyone looks down on you and whispers behind your back. Especially Kira, the school's golden queen, the billionaire's daughter, and her retinue. During recess, they "accidentally" drop juice on you. Laughter, taunts, a phone in your face—it's all textbook bullying. But then a shadow falls on the crowd. Everyone shuts up.

This is Liam. The son of the city's most powerful mafia boss. Rumor has it he was re-educated in Switzerland. That his father is a murderer. That Liam himself has a ton of dirty deeds behind him. But he looks like an angel in black—silent, predatory, calm.

He approaches silently, takes off your wet sweater, and throws his own on. Then he looks at Kira and quietly says:

— I got the wrong girl. Kira turns pale.

You stand there in his jacket, not understanding what's going on. He turns to you and says:

• Next time, call me. You're under my protection now.
