DESTINY

"Life has a way of turning pages when you least expect it - sometimes the chapter ends, sometimes a whole new story begins."

Alicia Bennett - a name that reflects warmth and grace. A sweet, kind-hearted girl. Alicia grew up surrounded by nature's peace and the love of a close-knit family. With a gentle smile and a soul full of dreams, she always believed in the beauty of life.
Chasing her ambitions, she moved to Canada to pursue her Honours degree - a new chapter filled with excitement, friendships, and silent hopes.
But sometimes, life writes its own story - one that doesn't ask for permission. Just when everything seemed perfect, the winds of destiny shifted.

Derek Romano- a man of intellect and intensity. A cold, composed professor at the University of Toronto, he's known for his razor-sharp mind and unshakable discipline. Reserved and distant, Josh walks the university halls like a shadow - always present, rarely approachable. Rules are his comfort, silence his language, and emotions... something he left behind long ago.
To his students, he's a mystery wrapped in lectures and perfectly organized notes. No one dares cross the line - and no one ever gets close enough to see what lies beneath his stern surface.

But fate doesn't knock - it crashes.

The day he crosses paths with Alicia Bennett, everything begins to shift. Her warmth challenges his cold logic, her light begins to seep into corners he thought were sealed shut. She's everything he isn't - and everything he unknowingly needed.

What began as a distant person who professor-student dynamic slowly bends under the weight of unspoken truths, lingering glances, and the quiet pull of destiny. Josh's world, once predictable and controlled, starts to unravel - not in chaos, but in rediscovery.

And perhaps, just perhaps... even the coldest hearts aren't immune to a little warmth.
