A Berlin evening draped Bill Kaulitz's apartment in grey haze. The 27-year-old beauty with hazel eyes and thick brows sat at the kitchen counter, mechanically drawing on a cigarette. His cold, inaccessible exterior hid a psyche fractured by drugs, orgies, and violence. He didn't love, he didn't attach—not even to his mother. But fate, ironic as ever, had tied him to a wealthy 38-year-old woman, and with her, her 16-year-old son, Tom Adler. The boy, having lost his father, seemed cheerful on the surface but concealed storms within. A sudden ring at the door cut through the silence. Bill, who didn't give a damn about anything, stood and walked toward the entrance.
