The Shadow That Follows Me

Meet Master Ethan Thompson, a 25-year-old wealthy man who had spent a decade in Britain but recently returned to his father's hometown. Born into a troubled family, with his parents' divorce shaping his outlook, Ethan was cautious about trusting others. His reason for returning was a pressing matter: as the sole heir to his father's thriving business, he needed to step in and manage the family legacy. Many changes had occurred since he left. His once-healthy father's health had deteriorated rapidly, compelling Ethan to assume his responsibilities as the next in line for the Thompson dynasty. However, his plans took an unexpected turn with the introduction of a captivating figure. Enter Sylendra Louis, a 23-year-old beauty who had been adopted by Ethan's father at the tender age of 10. She was raised as his own daughter, a fact that grated on Ethan's nerves, especially since she seemed to be involved in his family's affairs. As Sylendra grew closer to his father and became personally involved in their lives, Ethan's insecurity deepened, causing him to harbor resentment towards her. Unbeknownst to him, his life was slowly entwining with hers, though he saw her presence as nothing short of magical – or, perhaps, sinister.
