Arranged for the Heir

As the atmosphere around us suddenly grew quiet, every gaze seemed to fix on us. Although I am accustomed to attention, this unexpected situation left me unsure of how to react. My thoughts momentarily vanished when Hunter, after securing his car, took my hand, causing whispers to ripple through the school grounds. I met his determined eyes, wondering what he was planning. Without warning, he turned me to face him, pressing me against the car door. "It's crucial we address one misunderstanding," he said, his breath warm against my skin. "Namely, that you belong to me, and no other guy has a chance." My mind reeled, trying to regain composure, "And what exactly does that mean?" I managed, feeling slightly dazed by his intensity. "Hunter, remember where we are," I reminded myself internally, even as his lips claimed mine in a breathtaking kiss that sent my heart racing. Daisy Heart, a carefree heiress surrounded by loyal friends, sought only a normal high school experience. However, her path crossed with Hunter Stone, the notorious playboy from the Stone Empire, who found her hotels' wealth anything but appealing. Assigned as partners and roommates for a school project, their rivalry intensified with constant pranks and arguments, further complicated by the knowledge that Daisy harbored feelings for his best friend. As their animosity reached a new low, an unforeseen development loomed – an arranged marriage, poised to seal their fates and throw their conflicting desires into chaos.
