Chapter 2The Billionaire's Anchor: Escaping the Heir's Obsession

I met Oliver Sterling during my sophomore year of high school.

That year, my parents had made a small fortune from a business venture, so they sent me to a prestigious prep school in New York.

The students there all came from powerful backgrounds, but the Sterling family sat firmly at the very top of the pyramid, untouchable.

Their family's influence was unfathomable—deep pockets, massive power, and absolutely no one dared to cross them.

But within the walls of that elite school, what everyone knew best was the temper of the Sterling family's youngest son, Oliver.

He was infamous for his explosive anger and being generally terrifying to deal with.

Because of his severe anger management issues, he gravitated toward anything that could burn off his excess energy.

Boxing, MMA, street racing, bungee jumping—he did it all.

But his favorite outlet was street fighting.

Before I came along, he practically lived in dive bars, getting into a dozen fights a week.

That was the exact setting where I first encountered Oliver Sterling.
