The Problem with Happy Endings

People think graduating, landing the dream job, or finding "the one" is the finish line. Engr. Sydney Leona Alvarez-Alessandro knows better. To her, happy endings don't exist. They're just milestones before the next goal. You don't stop. You don't settle. You don't wake up one day and suddenly think that you're good. That's why she kept climbing. The CEO of one of the country's biggest construction firms. Married to Austin Alessandro. She has the money, the power, the name, and the life everyone envies.

But something still feels missing. Not because she's unhappy. Because she can't seem to be content. She keeps chasing something she can't even name. Until one reckless night at a club in BGC changes everything. Standing across the room is the man she left behind. The man she once built dreams around. The only man she ever truly loved. Lorian Ventimiglia. And for the first time in years, Sydney realizes the thing she's been searching for was never another achievement.

It was him. It has always been him.
