One boy. Two choices. 
Choice one: deny, deny, deny. Fake that he’s normal. Mask away reality. Maintain a perfect image. Get off scot-free. Conceal the truth, at the cost of a life embedded with guilt. 
Choice two: admit, acknowledge, accept his fate. Shred away the mask. Be true to who he is. Live freely, at the expense of his family. Annihilate his reputation. Taint his future. 
What will he choose? And better yet, will it be the right decision?
As Prince Nicolas grapples with the reality of his new boarding school, he meets Sander, the boy with the most angelic voice he’s ever heard. He immediately takes a liking to him, and the two become inseparable. That’s when Sander starts to wonder if there’s something deeper brewing than just a friendship. He’s never felt this way about anyone before, and neither has Nicolas. One thing leads to another, and soon enough, they’re in too deep to back out.


Royal Ever After

My soul feels like it’s being lit on fire, burning to ashes until everything I have left is broken. Until I’m ripped apart to pieces. Every waking moment is agony. Some days I feel nothing. Other days, I feel a throbbing pain that makes me want to end myself. Every cut, bruise, and burn I’ve experienced through the years don’t compare to this suffering, because the ache has consumed me. I’m no longer able to go a day without collapsing. Thinking is self-inflicted torture. My dreams haunt me, but sleepless nights torment me. I can’t get him out of my system, no matter how hard I try. I remember everything about him. I can taste him as if he were still here, as if nothing happened.
