Alexander Gutierrez wasn't exactly the most popular kid at school. He's a pretty petite teenager so it's quite easy for him to be picked on even though he tries to float below the radar. School may not be simple for him, but it sure is better than his life at home.
He used to have the perfect family. Loving mother, hard working father who spoils him, and a baby sister whom he looks after. But that all changed when his mother died so suddenly in a car accident.
As if he needed anymore problems, his whole life became so much harder when he discovered that he has a gift. However, with creatures like the Dream Shadows chasing you who live to kill those with gifts, Alex finds that it may not be all that bad... or could it be worse than he thought?

FADING ECHOES OF US
Alexander Villaventura is a rich teenage boy whose life took a drastic turn after the death of his mother. His world shattered, and so did the way his father treated him. Despite trying his best to live up to his family's expectations, Alexander was always treated like the black sheep of the family. No matter how hard he worked, his efforts were never enough, and he was constantly blamed for things beyond his control. This created a growing distance between him and his father, leaving him to navigate a life filled with emotional turmoil and isolation. William Timothy Montenegro, on the other hand, is a young and successful businessman who was exposed to the world of business and money from an early age. He grew up in the business world, learning from his grandfather, and eventually became the heir to his family's fortune. Though wealthy and well-established, William's life lacked something-something real and personal that went beyond just success and material gain. The fates of these two young men collided when their paths crossed unexpectedly. Though their backgrounds were worlds apart, their shared pain and struggles connected them in ways they never imagined. The moment they met, their lives began to change in ways neither of them expected. For Alexander, William was a strange yet comforting presence-someone who understood the weight of carrying family expectations and the deep loneliness that came with it. Meanwhile, William found himself drawn to Alexander's vulnerability and strength, admiring how the younger man silently carried the burden of his family's expectations. What started as a chance encounter soon evolved into something more. A bond formed between them, a connection neither could deny. As the days went on, both began to realize they were no longer the same people they were before meeting each other.Complete
