Maeve Callahan and Niall Horan were neighbours and best friends growing up in Mullingar. While Niall always had his heart set on music, she dreamed of a quiet, simple life - working a steady job, having close friends and enjoying the comfort of anonymity. After Niall left for The X Factor, they drifted apart. Despite the occasional pang of nostalgia when she heard One Direction on the radio, she convinced herself that she had no interest in the high-stakes world of fame and fortune.
In 2015, their paths crossed unexpectedly in the most mundane of places: a café in Dublin. Maeve is on a rare weekend trip, taking a break from her 9-to-5 job as a marketing assistant in Galway and Niall is visiting family after a long stint of touring. He's dressed down, almost unrecognizable to anyone who isn't from Mullingar and grew up with him. But Maeve recognize him instantly. 
The meeting is awkward yet nostalgic. He's thrilled to see her again, but Maeve is wary of reconnecting, especially knowing how drastically their world differ. When he suggests catching up over a proper meal, she reluctantly agrees, thinking it's just a one-time thing. However, what starts as a casual reunion spirals into something deeper as Niall begins reaching out more frequently, eager to rekindle the friendship or is there more?

The Vow We Never Chose

86 parts Complete

In a world ruled by legacy, two women are forced into a marriage neither of them wanted... but fate might have other plans. Orm Kornnaphat is a spoiled heiress - fiery, dramatic, and used to getting her way. She's the rebellious daughter of a powerful food export empire, more interested in stuffed toys and late mornings than boardrooms and responsibilities. When her family forces her into an arranged marriage, she's furious - especially when her bride turns out to be the mysterious stranger who once helped her on a night she can't even remember. Lingling Kwong is the definition of composed. Cold, calculating, and beautiful, she's the only child of the Kwong business dynasty and a boss feared by everyone - but apparently not including her new wife. For Ling, obedience is survival. She's always done what's expected of her, even if it means marrying a bratty stranger for the sake of business and family pride. Thrown into a high-profile marriage neither of them asked for, Orm and Lingling become unwilling partners in a game far bigger than themselves. From chaotic mornings to silent car rides, office wars to stuffed toys invading private spaces - they're learning that hatred, annoyance, and sarcasm might just blur into something else when you're stuck in the same home, same office... and the same destiny. Love isn't part of the plan. But fate? Fate doesn't care what they planned.
