It all started with a chance encounter. Or rather a Chase encounter.
Alea Maia Collins. In college, she was just like any other student, doing her work silently and only talking to her best friend, Marianne. But on the inside, she was this firecracker of attitude, pizzazz and so much more, just that no one knew how to light her up inside out. Until he came. Or rather bumped into her life. C. They met everyday in a cafe, not knowing who the other was, just knowing the face, but still they understood each other and found an anchor of trust and hope somewhere in the other person, something for them to hold on to amidst their chaotic lives. With C, she was at peace and with Maia, he was finally free. Until, their tiny little bubble of them broke and reality caught up to them.
Now, 5 years later, finally, fate has done its magic, and she finds herself in a cafe with C. Again. Just like old times. Just this time, C has become Chase Anderson, CEO of Anderson Corporations, and Maia has become Alea Maia Collins, superstar actress with an Oscar to her name. Both of them are immersed in the world of cameras, fame and wealth and the stakes are higher than ever.
As old feelings emerge and try to overcome logic and reality, Alea and Chase finally make their choices and decide what is important for them. As they say, opposites attract, but do they always end up together?
