It all began on May 18, 2001.
Julia Baker stepped off the plane from Canada with a suitcase, a backpack, and a sense of dread. A new country, a new school - none of it by choice.
Then she saw him.
Tall, confident, with shaggy hair, an eyebrow piercing, and a smirk that spelled trouble. Alex. He waved. She smiled. And just like that, something sparked.
For three months, they were inseparable - summer nights, long drives, quiet moments that felt infinite.
And then, he vanished. No explanation. No goodbye.
When he reappeared in the fall with an apology, Julia didn't want it. She wanted revenge. From that day on, they were rivals - in class, on the field, in life.
Years passed. Julia built a healthcare empire. Alex inherited one. They married other people, had children, moved on - or tried to.
But this story isn't about them anymore.
Their chapter is over.
This is about Kylie Cantrall - Alex's daughter.
And Malia Baker - Julia's.
Two girls from rival worlds, about to collide.
And when they do, the past might just come back to life.
