The Pact We Didn't Choose
Noah and McKenna's lives have always been intertwined-thanks to a decades-old promise made by their mothers, best friends since high school. They vowed their future children would one day marry, binding their families forever. What began as a sweet dream of connection became an expectation passed down through generations.
But not everything went according to plan.
Back in high school, Noah was the golden boy-charming, popular, and effortlessly cruel. McKenna, quiet and awkward, had always been the subject of whispers. When Noah humiliated her, it was the final straw. She dropped out and left town without looking back.
Now, ten years later, McKenna returns. She's no longer the shy girl with oversized glasses and timid eyes-she's confident, self-assured, and successful. she has moved-on.
Their parents, however, are determined to keep the pact alive. They pull every string they can, from shared business ventures to emotional manipulation.
As old wounds resurface and sparks-both bitter and electric-begin to fly, McKenna and Noah are forced to face the past they tried to forget.
Will they destroy the pact... or redefine it on their own terms?
