Cleo was the vocalist of the famous band in their school, she's one of the boys. Cleo was also with her step parents and her kuya who always took care of her. She discovered something near their school and she called that... the secret garden, where no one enters except her, but one day... he saw a man laying down in the grass.
She thought it was a dead man and was scared of getting involved by anything. That man was... Dane. Dane was his protector sent by his mother, he was there ever since Cleo turned ten. They got close with each other, they don't talk much but they always ended up being with each other. Well, Dane won't leave her alone so she thought she might as well go with the flow.
Dane was just so weird since he told Cleo that he wasn't a normal person.
Then one day, she came back to the secret garden and saw a mysterious rose. It was different from what she had seen inside the garden. She tried to pick it, but the scent made her dizzy and she passed out.
She woke up in a fancy room and he saw Dane standing in front of him. Cleo was scared because the place was unfamilair, and sooner or later... she met her real parents. Her real parents is the ruler of the Belvoir kingdom, which means she's a princess. Dane became more close with Cleo since he's one of the trusted person who can protect Cleo aside from Bubblebee, her guardian.

Cleo was engaged by someone, it was fixed by her parents because they're worried Cleo might not find someone who will take care of her when they're gone. They broke up and Dane tried to persuade Cleo again. She was still mad with him, but they slowly settled their relationship.
