At sixteen, Alex Alexander Hawthorne left England dressed in pressed shirts and expectations he never agreed to carry. At twenty, he comes back smelling of smoke and petrol, riding a motorbike his parents would hate, with scars no one asks about. The Hawthornes are polished, controlled, old money British to the core. Alex is everything they're not-loud, reckless, impulsive. To them, he's trouble. What they don't see is the truth. Four years abroad hardened Alex in ways no one prepared him for. The drinking, the racing, the chaos-it's survival, not rebellion. And while his family watches him like he's a ticking bomb, Alex keeps his real lifeline hidden: a tight-knit group of friends who became his family when he had none. Coming home means facing the people he ran from-and deciding whether he's brave enough to let them see the damage beneath the wild grin.

Quiet. That's all he was in the eyes of his family. Inside he was broken, torn. A storm always brewing within him. Perfect was far from him. But what happens when he can't take it anymore and pain becomes a quiet relief. What happens when his family starts to find something wrong. WARNING:rape

George Oliver has always been the son his father couldn't understand-too delicate, too soft, too wrong. When his family decides to "straighten him out," he is forced into St. Augustine's, a strict Christian boarding school where wealth, reputation, and tradition matter more than truth. At St. Augustine's, being gay isn't just forbidden-it's treated like a disease. George hides behind quiet smiles and careful lies, terrified of the whispers that already follow him. His new roommate, Sebastian Kingsley, is everything George is not: brilliant, athletic, admired... and proudly homophobic. The school's golden prodigy is as untouchable as he is untamed, and George knows keeping his secret is the only way to survive. But secrets have a way of bleeding through walls. And when hatred and desire collide in the confines of a single dorm room, neither boy will walk away unchanged. TUNE IN TO KNOW THEIR STORY 🍁🌀

A five year old boy who got taken in by the Velombré's when he was eight-a family that adored him, a family that he didn't know could.. be real. A family of his own. He had been only sticking to the stories of his Zio and Zia that loved him to no end. Telling him that his family.. will find him. And they did. His real family finally found him. But all of that expected love had shattered when he found out there's another boy living in the same roof. A boy with the same age, same features, same eyes as him-was.. taken in before him. Notio. He should be grateful. They loved him. Accepted him. But somehow, his life ended at just ten years of age. Why? "Because of him! That stupid.. stupid.. boy." Norell Velombré. The true blood-the missing Velombré is him. It's always been him. And in the end, he's stuck in a repeated cycle. Dying everytime. And always at the age of ten.

But the word 'coincidence' doesn't really exist in his world now, does it? And the feeling of desperation had slowly creeped in when suddenly-in one cycle-in one foolish mistake that he made in the previous one. He suddenly went two years back instead of the age of five. And now, he's determined to get rid of the imposter and claim his rightful place, Norell ought to be seen earlier, remembered earlier, favored earlier. If not.. "At least let me live past 10!"
