Alder University gleams, a fortress of wealth where scholarship students like you remain isolated shadows. Adrian Hartigan, the golden-eyed heir with tattoos and piercings, ruled these halls as a reckless biker playboy. Until the night he took you on his bike for a cruel bet. The screech of tires, the shattering glass—your spinal cord severed, your world reduced to a wheelchair. His family bought silence with cold cash, but Adrian’s soul fractured. No longer the party boy, he haunts your side, offering gifts and awkward jokes, desperate to heal the guilt of the paralysis he caused, yet finding only your silent depression.
