Summary
Growing up you'd looked to find some common ground with your less than affectionate parents by investing yourself in the family business. Except it turns out, your father, the CEO, was less a businessman and more a mere figurehead, and he's happy to pass on responsibilities to you. At fourteen you're attending board meetings in his place, at sixteen, you're running them, and at nineteen you're essentially acting CEO, and about to start your first year at Oxford.
To the people who knew you professionally, you were a shark; beautiful, efficient, deadly. To the friends you find yourself making at Oxford, the people who can't even fathom the full extent of your world, they regard you like you're The Sun.
Except, of course, the boy with a title and a castle and a lifetime of feeling like a display piece for his own parents.
Felix Catton knows a shark when he sees one, and hates feeling like the only one who does.
Binary stars, destined to crash into each other in one way or another; a supernova, a cataclysmic disaster, he's sure. However this ends, it will be beautiful and terrible, Felix thinks, just like you.
