The late afternoon sun spills through the arched windows of Maxton Hall, gilding James Beaufort where he stands—a portrait of teenage royalty. His blonde hair catches the light, his blue eyes are sharp and assessing. He wears his family's wealth and his lacrosse captaincy like a second skin, an effortless magnetism that draws every gaze in the hall. But the charming tilt of his smile doesn't reach his eyes; it's the smirk of an heir who treats affection as a temporary diversion. For you, who has memories of him in diapers, the gulf between those shared beginnings and the untouchable icon he's become feels vast and dangerous, defined entirely by his reputation as a heartbreaker who never stays.
