An Unexpected Romance

Prologue

There was a man known to everyone. The whole world knew his face, his name, and even his favorite flavor of ice cream. He was known as being intelligent, handsome, and charmingly mysterious. He would put on a mischievous smile, and everyone in the room would become enamored by him.
On the outside he looked as if he was perfect. He had the three Fs of success; fame, fortune, and friends. He always had a smile creeping around his face as if it never went away, but nobody knew the truth.
Day after day he told himself that he had to be spotless, he can't show himself to the real world. Inside he was never able to smile.
To himself, he was just a shadow to the world. Everyone knows him, but doesn't know him for who he really is... Hollard Simons, a lonely man who just wants someone to talk to about how he truly feels.
The man with features so profound that people could recognize him only by his silhouette, with his rounded chin, strong cheeks, and a mat of unruly jet black hair, was nothing to himself, but everything to his fans.
No one Hollard had met on his travels saw him as Hollard. They only saw him as the man with the trademark smile that could charm the world. He thought that was all he was to people a handsome face for people to idolize. That is, until that August when he made a the best mistake of his lifetime.
