In the timeless heart of Paris, where the very air seems spun from dreams and ambition, Alexander Vale K. moves through a life that is the envy of the world. At twenty-two, he is a tech billionaire, a visionary whose name is whispered in boardrooms and coded into the future. The city of lights bows at his feet, yet the brilliance of his success casts a long, cold shadow. Within him, there is a quiet, echoing chamber where something essential is missing. He possesses everything, and it means nothing. That carefully constructed existence fractures the moment he sees her again. Lina Weber, his childhood best friend, the girl who held his heart long before he understood its value, is now a rising designer, her own star ascending under the very same Parisian sky. Their collision is not one of chance, but of fate, a pull too strong for the universe to ignore. What begins as a tentative reunion, a walk down the cobbled lanes of their shared memory, quickly deepens into an undeniable current. As they wander through lamplit streets, lose hours in smoky cafés, and share confessions on starlit terraces, the fortress around Alexander's heart begins to crumble.

In a city that forever celebrates love's first blush, Alexander and Lina are faced with a far more complex question: can the fragile, overgrown path back to each other be navigated a second time, or will the people they have become unknowingly rebuild the very walls they once tore down?
