Back in high school, a few girls used to secretly root for Jasper and Claudia–the icy, untouchable top student and the stunning rebel. When Jasper suddenly declared his love for the school’s well–known cross–dresser, their fantasies went up in flames. But the second Sterling entered the scene, those same girls were reborn with excitement.

No one had ever shown them that a real couple could be this adorable.

Claudia was busy introducing Sterling to Sally and Eunice. “This is Sally, our class president, and this is our classmate, Eunice.”

She held Sterling’s hand proudly and added, “My boyfriend and also my

fiancé–Sterling.”

Sterling gave them a polite nod. “Hello, I’m Claudia’s boyfriend and fiancé.”

Sally and Eunice both smiled brightly.

“Got it, got it. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and an early wedding.”

A wave of warmth spread through Sterling’s chest. He even smiled back at them, which was something he rarely did. “When our wedding happens, Claudia will send you both invitations.”

Eunice’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Oh my god. She just scored an invite to the wedding of Romero Corp’s CEO?!

Sally, on the other hand, looked genuinely happy for her old classmate.

Sure, their teenage crushes had been fleeting, but clearly, the man who won her heart was entirely on another level.

While they were chatting, a sudden camera flash went off nearby.

A girl froze while holding her phone. She looked mortified. Being caught sneaking a photo turned her face bright red.

“Sorry, sorry! You two just looked amazing together.”

Eunice instantly panicked as she knew this man wasn’t fond of people taking his picture. But the girl was just an ordinary student, unaware of the unspoken rules among the elite. Eunice quickly stepped in. “I’ll ask her to delete the photo right away.”

The night had already been chaotic, and who knew how many others had taken secret photos or videos. Eunice couldn’t let any of it spread online.

The few shots she’d taken herself were strictly for personal keepsakes.

But Sterling simply glanced at the phone screen, his expression steady. “It’s fine. People usually take photos at reunions. Don’t let me spoil everyone’s fun.”

So he isn’t going to make a scene?

Eunice blinked in surprise.

The flustered girl thanked him over and over before slipping away, realizing that Sterling wasn’t as cold and unapproachable as everyone claimed.

Sally, watching nearby, shot Sterling a knowing glance.

She could tell what was really happening.

Others might miss it, but she was certain about who Jasper’s true focus had been tonight.

Sterling’s words had been deliberate.

If he wanted full control, he could’ve easily banned all photography from the start.

But instead, he didn’t mind people seeing him with Claudia.

Making their relationship public would prevent future misunderstandings.

Besides, Jasper’s obsession with the past was pathetic; he had nothing left but old memories to cling to.

So this time, Sterling wanted everyone who remembered those days to witness the new chapter he and Claudia were writing together.

He recalled the way she’d looked earlier: disgusted, unsettled, heartbroken.

His eyes flicked toward the empty darkness nearby, the cold edge returning to his gaze,

Despite how tonight’s drama had already taken over social media, once Claudia finished introducing Sterling to the class president, she didn’t make him linger around strangers she barely remembered.
