A rich kid with parents who were too busy to care, three meals a day cooked by a chef and no curfew even on school nights. What more could he ask for? And when their paths meet, they'll together realise just how unforgiving life can be. Evelyn 3rd October, 2016. #3| SS 10K | 3.3.2017 Previously known as 'Fighter'
