I was a Clifford, a king without a crown, a storm without rain. The Royal Elite School, RES wasn’t just a normal college, it was a game of chess. Born to be a heir of my father’s fortune and company. My own shadows of past threatened to swallow me…and that’s when I saw her, her jade green eyes, her perfectly smooth pale skin, her silky chestnut hair, her slender appearance, classy features, her overly perfect nose, rosy lips, light dust of freckles and her beautiful smile…I hated it all. I wanted to destroy her, inside and out. It’s like an unspoken oath or promise to ruin her. The storm behind my eyes threatening to break her walls. Ever since. On the surface, he seems like the last person who could harbor any dark secrets. But there’s something about Cameron that feels slightly off, an underlying tension that surfaces only in brief, fleeting moments. Later the afternoon in school, when he thinks no one’s looking, his expression darkens, and a flicker of something—fear, or perhaps regret—crosses his face. Sometimes he becomes restless, haunted by what seems like distant memories he can’t shake. His hidden past is one shrouded in mystery. Long before he moved to the London, Cameron was involved in an incident that left him scarred, both physically and emotionally. It's a secret he’s done everything to bury, even going so far as to erase all traces of his past life and childhood. But the truth has a way of catching up with him. As his relationships deepen, fragments of the past begin to surface—cryptic references to a town he’s never mentioned, the occasional slip of the tongue when he talks about a family he’s never introduced anyone to, and a set of haunting nightmares that seem all too real. The closer someone gets to Cameron, the more the cracks in his façade begin to show. The darkness he’s running from isn't just a personal mistake—it’s something far more dangerous, tied to people who would stop at nothing to ensure his past stays buried. And one day, it will all come to light.
