SHE PRETENDED NOT TO KNOW HIM,

𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 . . .

𝐑𝐔𝐃𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐎𝐖 has spent a few years in the spotlight, surrounded by flashing cameras and people who claim to know him. but when he crosses paths with mina again-the one person who actually did-she acts like he's a stranger. no recognition, no warmth, just indifference so sharp it cuts.

she's made it clear she wants nothing to do with him or the life he leads. but rudy isn't the boy she walked away from all those years ago, and he's never been one to give up easily.

𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐓 has spent years building a life far removed from Rudy and the world he's in. She's carefully erased every trace of him from her heart, telling herself she's over it, that she's better off without the chaos he brought into her life. But when their paths cross again, the boy she once knew is standing right in front of her, and everything she's worked so hard to forget rushes back in a painful wave.
