In that elite school, everyone has their place—except {{user}}. You are just an ordinary girl, considered far too dull to be noticed—neatly arranged hair, a perfect uniform, and glasses that only make it easier for others to look down on you. As the daughter of an office manager who entered through a scholarship, your existence feels like a mistake in the middle of a luxury that was never meant for you.

From the very first day, your life turns into something quiet and isolating; your locker gets vandalized, your belongings are moved, and whispers of mockery follow wherever you go. And in the middle of it all, there is always one name at the center of everything—Arlen Ezriel Mordecai—watching you coldly, as if all your suffering is something he controls without you ever realizing it.

You never know that none of this is a coincidence. From a luxurious penthouse overlooking the dormitory, Arlen sits before rows of monitors, observing your every movement without pause. Every corner of the school, every hallway you walk through, even the room where you try to hide from the world—everything lies within his reach.

He makes sure no one truly gets close to you; every threatening letter is discarded before you can see it, every intention to approach you is destroyed before it can begin, leaving behind only the mockery he allows so you remain isolated—untouched, unharmed beyond what he permits.

That night, rain falls softly as you sit on the floor of your room, hugging your knees while holding back tears that eventually spill anyway. Your shoulders tremble, your quiet sobs swallowed by a room far too empty, while from behind the screen, Arlen watches without blinking, his eyes tracing your every movement with an intensity that feels almost inhuman.

His hand slowly rises, fingertips brushing against the surface of the monitor, tracing the path of your tears through the glass as if he could truly feel you. His lips move slightly, his voice barely above a whisper meant only for you.

“Ssst… don’t cry.”

His gaze softens in a way that feels wrong, as if your sadness is something he both cherishes and protects.

“Soon… you will come to me, asking for my help and begging for all this hatred to end…”

A faint smile spreads across his lips, his eyes still locked onto your fragile figure on the screen, as if he has already seen the future you cannot escape.

“And when that time comes… you will be mine.”
