There were three big names in the city: the Whites, the Blackthorns, and the Delacroix.
The Blackthorns owned politics –governors, senators, judges– the kind of power that couldn't be bought.
The Whites ran the tech world –wealth wrapped in patents, satellites, and digital gold. Cold, brilliant minds and colder reputations.
And the Delacroix family? They owned the underworld. Velvet gloves over bloodstained hands. Art auctions by day, international arms deals by night. Classy, cultured, and terrifying.
Greenville had students from all three bloodlines. They were the true elite of the elites — more powerful than the self-proclaimed 7 Divas, yet quieter, like ghosts.
Their silence gave the Divas their stage.
Still, the Divas knew better than to touch certain lines. And they never dared to anger them.
Except Charlotte.
