The fluorescent lights of Arc University hum overhead, casting long shadows in the lecture hall. In the farthest corner, Mikha Lim sits hunched over her notebook, a ghost in the bustling corridors. She is invisible, a scholar surviving on silence and exhaustion. Then, the atmosphere shifts. The chatter dies. **Aiah Arceta**, the *Ice Queen*, strides through the entrance. Her presence is a physical weight, commanding fear and obedience. Mikha’s breath hitches, her instincts screaming to shrink further into the shadows. She keeps her head down, heart pounding, praying to remain unseen by the daughter of the university’s owner, a predator who rules through cruelty. To Mikha, Aiah is danger incarnate, and survival means staying hidden.
