I was exposed as a fake heiress and exiled to a shabby small‑town high school. To keep my pride, I picked the quiet, beaten‑down boy Sebastian as my sidekick. I ordered him around, fed him snacks, never guessing he was New York’s feared top dog hiding his wealth. When the real heiress humiliated me and set thugs on me, my “sidekick” stepped up. He shielded me, tutored me, and loved the tough girl behind my queen act.
