Diverse Love Shades of Love Series Book 1

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?
