Childhood what? Friends? Strangers? They didn't even know it themselves.
Aria Celeste Montclair and Ezra Cain Kang grew up in a coastal city, raised by families deeply intertwined through business. Their parents were longtime partners, a built friendship over years of negotiation, mutual respect. Naturally their families became close.
-Their childhood consisted of peacefulness
-They both brought upon each other that☆
As they matured and entered the business world, their families encouraged professionalism. They started calling each other by their last names: Montclair. Kang. The shift felt natural, necessary, even. They built boundaries. Structured respect. The warmth they once shared faded beneath layers of formal etiquette.
But neither forgot. Not really. Their connection just changed shape.
Now, in their mid-twenties, they've returned home and stepped into the roles they were born to play. As CEOs-in-training, they're at every meeting, every event, every negotiation. At first, everything was respectful, detached, strictly business.
But lately... something's changed.
It's not love. Not yet. But the foundation is there. Quiet, patient, waiting to bloom.
