He Wanted a Legacy—She Became the Cost
Roman Sinclair (22) At 22 years old, Roman Sinclair has spent his life chasing a future that always seemed just out of reach. He wasn’t born with privilege—only pressure. Every setback, every closed door, and every person who doubted him became another reason to keep going. Refusing to let his story end before it truly begins, Roman is determined to build a legacy that will outlive him. Standing beside him is his 20-year-old girlfriend, the one person who believed in him before anyone else did. She never cared about what he had—only who he was. She met him before the success, before the recognition, when all he had were impossible dreams and the weight of proving himself to the world. While everyone else questioned him, she stayed, believing in his vision even when it seemed impossible. Before I Disappear is a story of ambition, heartbreak, resilience, and sacrifice. As Roman climbs toward the life he’s always wanted, he’ll discover that every dream has a price—and the closer he gets to leaving behind a legacy, the more he risks losing the people who gave his life meaning in the first place.
