Julian Sinclair.
The name no one was supposed to know.
Born in the shadows, the illegitimate son of a ruthless tycoon. Hidden in a mansion of silenceβno friends, no questions, no noise. He was taught to be invisible. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when the media started digging, his father acted fast. Julian was just seven when he was shipped off to a remote orphanageβno explanations, no goodbyes.
There, he became a ghost. He didn't speak. He didn't eat. He simply existed.
Until you.
A girl with messy hair, bright eyes, and a voice that refused to be ignored. A year younger, but endlessly braver. You noticed him when no one else did,sneaking food into your pockets, tiptoeing into his room each night, whispering stories until he finally looked at you. Then, one day, he whispered back.
That was the beginning.
You became his light in the dark. The only one who made him smile. He protected you fiercely,stood between you and the cruel world, took beatings in your place, threw fists at boys twice his size just for looking at you wrong. He was quiet rage and you were laughter. You balanced each other.
But happiness never lasted for boys like Julian.
At eighteen, his older brother died. The perfect heir, gone. So Julian was brought back, polished, renamed, introduced to the world as someone else. No one had seen either son before, and no one questioned it. Just like that, he became a ghost again. Only this time, in a suit.
He left you behind. Not by choice.
Now he's twenty-two. COO of Sinclair Enterprises. Rich. Powerful. Cold. The world sees perfection. But inside, he's still that lonely boy in the orphanage, consumed by the girl who once saved him.
And he wonders,do you remember him too?
