TRISTAN CLIFF - Many would consider me lucky. Tristan Cliff, the only living heir of the Cliff Empire who lives a luxurious lifestyle in a huge mansion surrounded by numerous servants. But, I would consider myself to be the most unlucky guy.
I lost my parents at the age of 6 and after that my life went downhill. My uncle and his family took over the control of our house, our business, our servants, our well-wishers and even my life. My life which was like a happy dream turned into a terrible nightmare. After that fateful day, there is not a single day that has gone by without the curses and the abuse from my uncle and his family. At home, I am being abused physically and mentally by my Uncle and Aunt and even the servants do not miss a chance to mock me. My only support was our old Butler Reese, who was loyal to my parents, but even he was kicked out from the house for helping me. At school, I am constantly bullied by my cousins Fred and Jeff and his group of loyal friends. I was so scared of them, in fact, all of them, that I would just agree to do about anything they ask of me just to avoid the beatings.
When I was 18 and entered college, a ray of hope came in the form of Evelyn Grace. She was different. She was strong and fearless. She fought with the bullies and always helped me. Soon we became good friends and for the first time, I had someone on whom I could rely. Gradually I fell in love with her, how could I not? She was so beautiful and lovable. But looks like I am always meant to be unlucky and pathetic. While I was fussing over how to confess my love to her, enters another guy Adam, who takes a special interest in Evelyn. He seems to always help her whenever she’s in trouble, the same way as she was for me. Now I am questioning myself am I really worthy of her? Whenever she needs help, it's not me but Adam who is always present. I am just a pathetic timid guy who cowers away even when someone talks in a loud voice, then how will I protect the one I love?
EVELYN GRACE - Everyone thinks I am a poor and pitiful girl who has no idea who her parents are and lived her whole life in an orphanage. Some look at me with pity and some with disgust. Even if I have no parents and no blood relatives I am happy and contented with my life. The people at the orphanage took good care of me. I had a lot of friends there and it was like one big happy family. Even the owner of the Martial Arts Academy beside our Orphanage was so good, he decided to train her for free.
When I was 18 and went to college, I met this guy Tristan who was from a rich family but yet he was not like those typical spoilt rich kids whom I have usually seen. He was different. He had no friends and always liked to be alone. He was often bullied and never fought back. His eyes held a lot of pain and I couldn’t help but feel protective towards him. We gradually became good friends and when I came to know about his family’s abuse, I vowed to myself I would always protect him. But things were not so easy, there were many of them who didn’t like me helping him and she soon understood these so-called rich people rely on more despicable means to retaliate, rather than just confronting face to face. During one such incident, she was rescued by a mysterious guy who hid himself under a mask. She didn’t know much about him except that he called himself Adam, was very strong and could fight well. Who was this guy? How does he know so much about her? How come he is always present whenever she is in need?
ADAM - I am a mystery and puzzle which is not easy to solve. I myself can’t do it nor do I care to. The only thing I care about in this World is Evelyn Grace. She is the sole reason for my existence. I wake up for her and sleep thinking about her. I am deeply in love with Evelyn and could go to hell and back for her. Recently I could see few people targeting my Evelyn and trying various means to harm her, but I would be damned If I let them do that. I will thrash each and every obstacle that comes in her way. She needs someone like me to be with her, to protect her, not someone as pathetic as her best friend Tristan who can’t even protect himself.
