Back in my wildest days, I was living large—supporting ten college guys all at once. But out of all of them, James Sterling was my absolute favorite. He was born with a weak constitution, so I scoured the globe for miracle doctors to help him get better. He loved diving, so I bought him an island just to see him smile. But then, my dad, Logan Shaw, was set up and sent to prison. Overnight, our family was buried in debt, and countless enemies showed up at our doorstep. James, who was always sickly and bedridden, suddenly stood in front of my cousin, Emily Shaw, shielding her from harm. "Who dares harm her?" James' voice was icy and authoritative. That was when I realized he was actually the sole heir of the Sterling family in Metropolis City, destined to inherit Sterling Holdings. It turned out that James had been hiding his true identity all along—just so he could stay close to Emily. And me? In the end, when my family's enemies dragged me off and tormented me until I died, he never once looked my way. The moment I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I was choosing my college boys for the very first time. Locking eyes with James' cold, indifferent stare, I gave a dramatic wave of my hand. "Everyone but him—you're all mine!"
