Adrian Vale Montecillo has everything a boy could ever want-except the one thing he needs the most.
Left alone in a grand guesthouse twice a month while his parents live their own perfect lives, Adrian grows up surrounded by luxury but haunted by loneliness. His only constant is Dominic Cortes, the family friend who has shared those empty days with him since childhood. To Adrian, Dominic is comfort. Safety. Routine.
Until one night, under unfamiliar stars, he meets someone new.
Noah Andres Rivera is everything Adrian is not-warm, simple, and surrounded by a family full of love. In Noah's world, Adrian finally learns what it feels like to be seen, to be cared for, to belong. And slowly, the lonely little prince begins to change.
But hearts grow in ways no one expects.
Between the silent mansion above the mountains and the lively village below, Adrian finds himself standing between two worlds, trying to understand where he truly fits and who he is becoming.
Under the same stars, the little prince will discover that growing up means more than finding happiness.
Sometimes, it means choosing a home.

Author's Note
Hi everyone! π This story was inspired by a dream I had about a boy who grew up lonely and how the people he meets along the way change his world. I wanted to explore what it feels like to long for connection, to find comfort in unexpected places, and to learn what it really means to belong. I hope you'll fall in love with Adrian's journey under the stars as much as I did while writing it.
