After the cameras stopped rolling, the real story began. Nic and Olandria didn't win the show-but they found something deeper: a spark that couldn't be edited out. Now, reunited outside the villa, the two fan-favorites are finally exploring what the world kept hinting at... if they're brave enough to choose each other. But not everyone is rooting for their happiness. As old flames stir online drama and unexpected truths from the past come to light, Nic and Olandria must navigate public pressure, personal insecurities, and what it really means to love beyond the spotlight. Told over six steamy, heartfelt chapters-with appearances by real-life besties Ace & Chelley-this story dives into vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that finds you when you're finally ready.

Two years after Love Island, Nic is set to marry Cierra, the woman he left the villa with. But on the night before his wedding, it isn't Cierra he calls. It's Olandria. The woman he never got over. The one he tried to forget. What begins as a meeting for closure spirals into something far more dangerous. A confession laced in lust, regret, and everything they buried under fame, pride and friendship. In a cheap motel room, the night before vows are meant to be exchanged, two people who never stopped wanting each other are forced to face the truth: sometimes love doesn't fade...it festers. A story of forbidden lust, aching what-ifs, and the kind of tension that feels suffocating.
