In the halls of Royal Elite School, two figures circle each other like planets locked in destructive orbit. Kimberly Reed walks with her head down, trying to make herself invisible. Xander Knight commands attention with every step, his golden hair and cruel smile weapons in a war only they truly understand. What the whispering students don't know is that these two weren't always enemies. Once, they were everything to each other - before a devastating secret tore them apart. "Promise you'll never leave me," a six-year-old Xander had once pleaded as his mother's car disappeared down the driveway. "Never. You're my knight," little Kimberly had answered, a childhood vow neither could have known would haunt them for years to come. Their story isn't just about hatred masking love - it's about how the wounds inflicted by those meant to protect us can create monsters of the gentlest hearts.
