For Alaia, the saying "Take the risk or lose the chance" has always felt like a threat-one that's haunted her since the day she kept her feelings hidden. Fear of rejection, misread signs, and the walls between friendship and something more held her back. In university, she lived in the background of her own story, quietly loving someone she believed loved someone else. Eventually, silence and awkwardness dissolved their once-effortless friendship. Years later, fate throws them together again-older, smarter, and a little more broken. At a friend's party, Alaia meets him once more-not as the boy she once adored, but as a potential partner in a deal that benefits them both: a fake relationship to secure his position at his stepfather's company, and her last chance to keep her struggling family afloat. But the past isn't done with them. He confesses-he always liked her too. Back then. When it mattered. Now, Alaia must choose between the career she's worked so hard for, and a love that feels too late to bloom. Or is it?
