Tobias Cartez came to Oldhome to prove that he deserved to be there.
He didn't expect Vincent Reich, the rival he's hated since high school, and the boy who seemed to have everything Tobias had ever wanted, to be there.
Between competition, bruised egos, and years of resentment, the line between hatred and something far more dangerous begins to blur.
But falling in love is one thing.
Staying in love is another.
Because some relationships aren't built in a single moment. They're built through mistakes, distance, second chances and choosing each other even when walking away seems easier.
They were rivals. They became enemies. And somehow, they kept finding their way back to each other.
