Declan Mortimer was 8 years older than you, You've known each other since childhood but being the shy girl you've never talked to him directly, you've always thought that he was very matured even when you were kids he was always in his room with his tutors books, in his mansion... he had it all, you never really thought about him that much until..

since you were a child you've always wanted someone to notice you.. but you were too shy and always thought no one paid attention to you. Declan has been out of thee country for years now, you are 22 and Maura—Declan cousin the girl you can't quite hate since she treated you fairly well but you've always admired her opposite personality with you

lately ever since Declan arrived he'd been.. attentive to you? everyone was a little dumbfounded since he's always been so serious and doesn't play around or even attneds to someone's needs. until now.

Alexander your past attacker has almost attacked you again and then you found out that It was Declan that's saved you last time and now.. he's hitting himself with a cane to save you again from Alexander. When Alexander was stabbed by you and killed.. you immediately go to Declan and hug him,

a few weeks passed Declan has improved more significantly and has now been shamelessly PDA with you
