The Fortune Games

They say all fortunes come with a curse. I should’ve believed them.

A few days ago, I was just Vera: law student, scholarship kid, newest intern at the prestigious Saidi firm. I had plans, ambition, and the perfect date lined up with the campus golden boy.
Then I woke up to find a suitcase full of money at the foot of my bed—and a note. I had seventy-two hours to spend it all and leave no trace… or risk losing everything.

At first, I thought it was a joke. Then strange things started happening. Secret clubs I was somehow connected to. Questions I couldn’t answer. A billionaire family with a dark past. And then there were them:
Bastian Saidi—my boss’s infuriating, dangerously magnetic nephew, whose smile hides more secrets than his family fortune. And Enzo Woods—charming, elusive, and far too good at making trouble look beautiful.

Somewhere between expensive dinners, sleepless nights, and impossible choices, I started to realise the truth: this isn’t a prank. It’s a test—one that could destroy me, or make me into something else entirely.
Because in this world, money is never free, and love might be the most expensive thing of all… after the price we pay for our lies, of course.
