"Looks can be so decieving." And so they can be as Mia learns. Mia is an amazing chess player and beats every single living chess player her age. However, when she meets Josh, she melts. And pours her heart out to him, giving up her dream of chess. However, does he have the same thing in mind? 
This is an original tale based on a true life story about how friendships, relationships and loyalties lie on the line when what brought these people together is about to tear them apart. What will Mia do when all the people she cares about want the same thing as her? Will she give up everything she's ever wanted? Or will she lose those friends she's never had?

"Josh - don't."
"I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for me."
"You're not going to get in my way."

Many will lose, few will draw, but only one will win.

And in the climactic finale, everything will end with...

"Just shut the fuck up Mia" he yelled at me. I flinched from his sudden outbrust, closing my eyes tightly i was trying to gulp the vile in the back of my throat. " You have destroyed the only hope which could have save our relationship" he spat angrily but his voice broke. I looked at him, his eyes are also glistening from tears. I was disgusted with me that i was the cause he was crying. I took a step near him to hold him. I couldn't loose him. He was my only hope, my only best friend, i could never thought to hurt him like that but in contrary i had done the exact same thing. "Don't you dare to touch me" he took a step back, i looked at him with shock. I knew what was going to happen next but i didn't want it to happen. " I won't ever forgive you Mia, i won't. I'm going far away from you from your sick lies. don't show your face ever again." He spat angrily, wiping the tears with back of his hand. I looked at him with horror. " Alex please, Alex please don't go Alex please i.." i shut my mouth when i saw eyes which are filled with rage, disgust, hate, pain like he was daring me to say anything. "Never ever take my name again, you'll pay for it Mia, i'll make you pay." those were the last word i heard coming out of his mouth. He turned his back towards me and walked away from park. I looked at him, my eyes were sowllen tears were streaming down to my chin, my shoulder were shaking. I slumped in the ground, my knees hit the ground. I cried my heart out as i saw him disappearing in the darkness.

Mia Brown believed she had her heart safely guarded, wrapped tight under layers of resilience. Life had taught her that trusting too deeply could lead to heartbreak, and dreams didn't always come true. She knew it was safer to rely on herself, to focus on her work and keep her emotions locked away. But a quiet longing stirred beneath her resolve, whispering dreams of a love so deep and true that it would feel like home. And then, there was Alex Walker. From the moment their paths crossed, something shifted in Mia-a warmth, a spark she couldn't ignore. Alex was magnetic yet grounded, a man of strength and subtle tenderness, with eyes that seemed to see into the guarded corners of her heart. He had a way of challenging her walls with every smile, every unspoken word, breaking down the defenses she'd built over time. Mia didn't believe in fairy tales, and yet, as she looked out into the future, there was a flicker of hope, fragile yet undeniable, that maybe she had found something real. Something she hadn't known she'd been searching for. But what if love was more than a feeling? What if it required trust, patience, and a vulnerability she had never allowed herself? Mia's journey would ask her to let go, to be open, to choose love even when it felt uncertain. And in the quiet moments, as she dared to hope, a single, fervent thought lingered in her mind: Could he be mine? ꧁༒☬ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ☬༒꧂ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
