In the Shadows of Regret

Aeyci
She was the girl he kept in the shadows. Now she’s the woman he drove into someone else’s arms. Amara Castellanos lived quietly—brilliant, loyal, and secretly in love with Kael Navarro, heir to the Navarro Corporation. When his grandfather announces their engagement to them, Amara dares to believe in a future she’s only dreamed of. But Kael sees betrayal, not destiny. Convinced she manipulated his grandfather, he breaks her heart in one brutal, public blow. Amara disappears. For a month, Kael drowns in guilt—but pride convinces him she’ll return. She always does. But this time, she doesn’t come back alone. Damian Sinclair, her lifelong friend and quiet protector, is by her side. And Kael feels it—his buried love for Amara rising fast and fierce. Instead of apologizing, he makes a reckless move: clinging to Clariss, hoping jealousy will bring Amara back. It doesn’t. Amara walks away—for good. And slowly, she begins to see Damian not just as a friend… but as the man who never let her fall. Now Kael is ready to beg, fight, and change everything. But the heart he shattered may no longer be his to claim. Will she choose the love that once broke her—or the one that never let her go?

I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.
