Episode 2

As Raven chatted with Maya,

Just as the lecturer began to speak, the door swung open, and a tall, imposing figure strode in. "Everyone, please welcome our new student, Alex."

Alex's piercing blue eyes scanned the room, his expression unreadable. The lecturer gestured to an empty seat by the window. "Alex, why don't you take a seat over there?"

Raven watched as Alex made his way to the seat, his movements fluid and confident. She couldn't help but notice the way he seemed to command attention without even trying.

After class, Maya turned to Raven. "Hey, did you see the new guy? He's gorgeous!"

Raven shrugged. "He's just a new student."

As they walked out of the classroom, Tasha appeared, flanked by her friends. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here."

Tasha's eyes locked onto Alex, who was standing by his locker, typing away on his phone. "Hey, Alex, welcome to our humble school."

Alex looked up, his expression cold. "Mm"

Tasha giggled, trying to get his attention, but Alex dismissed her with a glance.

Raven raised an eyebrow. "Some people just can't take a hint."

Maya chuckled. "Yeah, Tasha's definitely not used to being ignored."

As they walked away, Raven couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Maybe this new student wouldn't be so bad after all just based on the way he treated Tasha she might have taken a liking to him.

When she got home, her step-sister was lounging on the couch , her eyes flicking up from her phone to give Raven a brief, disinterested glance.

Raven ignored her, heading straight to her room, she wasn't in the mood.

She pulled out her laptop and began researching her parents' death, looking for any new leads, she was getting restless these days and the more she investigated, the more she feels there are bigger shots pulling the strings behind the scene. Based only on the level of her hacking skills, high ranked hackers couldn't be compared to her.

And yet just to find clues regarding her parents', death easy not to talk of people involved in her parents' death.

The encrypted file she had found earlier was still bugging her, as she was figuring this out.

Suddenly her phone buzzed with an unknown number. "I know who is involved in your parents' death, meet me at the old oak tree at the park. Come alone.

She quickly tried to trace the number.

Alex returned to his mansion to meet his father who was angry with him.

Alex's father, Marcus Blackwood, a wealthy and influential businessman, was furious. "You're attending school without permission? Do you know the risks?"

Alex remained calm, his expression cold. "I can take care of myself, Father."

His stepmother, Victoria, intervened, trying to stir up trouble. "Alex, your father is already doing this for you. He doesn't want you to struggle."

Marcus's anger boiled over, and he threw a cup at Alex, but Alex dodged it effortlessly.

His cold eyes scanned his father and the hatred for him grew even stronger, not only did his father not mourn and honor death of his wife which happened to be Alex's mother, he even married another wife two days after she died making Alex and his mother the target of ridicule

Though it was only some of upper class that got to know, still it hard for Alex hearing people gossiping and laughing about the situation,, and sometimes he loses his emotions.

He looked at his father with a cold expression and ignored them, heading to his room.

After the confrontation, Alex took a shower, the warm water cascading down his chiseled physique. His butler, Jenkins, had always admired Alex's striking features and sharp jawline.

As Alex stepped out of the shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist, revealing his toned physique.!!!
