Xander Solkov

Intro ~♡A friendship, broken...or turned into love?♡ They were the epitome of friendship, a bond forged since birth. Sophie Ern and Xander Solkov grew up together, their families - the Solkovs and Erns - being affluent, influential, wealthy and best friends for centuries. Sophie, a ravishing beauty with blonde hair and blue eyes, was kind, intelligent, and vivacious. Xander, with black hair and green eyes, was carefree, intelligent, and respectful.

I just had to say it, and I did. It won't ruin our friendship, right?" Xander's expression was unreadable, and he nodded curtly before turning to leave without another word. Time passed, and university life resumed its usual rhythm. However, everything began to change between Sophie and Xander. He would no longer sit with her in class, and whenever he saw her, he would quickly leave to avoid her. Sophie was hurt by his actions, and her patience finally snapped. Determined to confront him, Sophie tracked him down to the locker room. "Xander, why... are you ignoring me? Is it because of—" she began, her voice trembling slightly.
