Enjoy sweet, sweet romance

Edward can pursue romantic relationships with two characters.


Alex Wake
The protagonist of "Beyond Eden", Alex is a handsome businessman and popular socialite.
Edward was smitten by him at first sight, but they remain mere acquaintances.
The animosity between the Wakes and the Edenics is just one obstacle that he must overcome to win Alex’s heart.


Francis Taylor
Francis Taylor is a shy, gentle young man and Edward’s boarding school roommate.
Unbeknownst to Edward, Francis had romantic feelings for him since they were boys. But to Edward, Francis was someone to avoid because he was involved in an incident that got Edward expelled.
A rather unlucky young man prone to get entangled in undesirable circumstances, Edward can choose to continue ignoring Francis or offer help.
