BILLION $ HEIR Falls In Love With POOR GIRL, What Happens Next Is Shocking

When 22-year-old aspiring writer Mia Carter moves into a modest apartment complex, she’s intrigued—and a little wary—of her new neighbor, Ethan Whitmore. With his designer clothes and aloof demeanor, he fits the stereotype of a spoiled rich kid, especially once Mia learns his father is disgraced former CEO Richard Whitmore, whose corporate fraud scandal is all over the news. Ethan, trying to distance himself from his family’s tarnished name, keeps to himself—until he’s unexpectedly offered a lucrative job at a rival firm, rumored to be a PR stunt to rehabilitate the Whitmore image. Mia, quick to judge, assumes he’s just another privileged insider skating by on connections. But when a chance encounter reveals Ethan’s hidden passion for music (Mia’s secret obsession), they bond over shared playlists and late-night diner runs. As their friendship deepens, Mia discovers Ethan’s guilt over his father’s crimes, his refusal to take the high-paying job out of principle, and his struggle to build an honest life—something Mia relates to, having grown up in a family that judged her for pursuing art over stability. When Ethan’s past threatens to derail his future, Mia must confront her own biases and decide whether to stand by him.
