Chapter 1
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted...
So here's the new story of mine
Yumeko Albert had one wish for the first day at Skybridge University: a clean slate.
No past, no drama and especially-especially- no run-ins with Josh Whitlock
But as she stepped into the ornate stone entrance of the orientation hall, fate flipped her the middle finger.
Leaning against the back wall like he hadn't a care in the world, Josh Whitlock looked exactly how she remembered him: annoyingly perfect hair, too-confident grin, and that air of unspoken secrets he always carried like a second skin.
That's met before. Multiple times, actually before Avyanna and Ace's wedding, in the wedding, then again at a handful of family dinners afterwards. Their connection was inevitable. Josh was Avyanna's cousin, and Yumeko had grown close to Avyanna–the kind of close that made her feel like she finally had a sister. Which later they found that they actually are.
Still, Josh had always rubbed her the wrong way. Too smug. Too smart. Too... Something.
Yumeko exhaled sharply and kept walking, pretending not to notice him.
He smirked, tilting his head just slightly in her direction.
Josh Whitlock
Didn't expect to see you here
Yumeko Albert
That makes two of us
What she didn't know–what no one knows–was that Josh had a second identity. An infamous, unbeatable e-sport hacker known as K. No one except two people in the world, knew the truth.
CEOs by daylight. Underworld royalty by moonlight. Good mafias, if such a thing existed, quietly running their territories with an iron fist and a kind heart.
Yumeko thought she was just stepping into university life.
In reality, she's just entered a world coded with secrets, bloodlines and danger– and Josh Whitlock was the first puzzle she's have to solve
