Childhood sweethearts, Arnold Blake and Sophia Carter, had an unspoken bond that was disrupted by time and life’s circumstances. Now, years later, Arnold is a successful CEO with a playboy reputation, while Sophia is married to Liam and raising a son on her own. The twist? Arnold’s son, Junior, is the spitting image of him, and when the truth comes out, Junior takes charge, determined to reunite his parents and make Arnold face his responsibilities.

As Arnold tries to balance his empire with fatherhood, he’s caught in a whirlwind of emotions, realizing the depth of his feelings for Sophia. Meanwhile, Sophia grapples with her loyalty to her husband and her enduring love for Arnold. With a possessive CEO, a wise-beyond-his-years son, and a scheming woman after Arnold, the road to reconciliation won’t be easy.

With faceslapping moments, misunderstandings, and a dash of sweet romance, Arnold must prove he’s ready to leave his past behind and fight for the future he deserves with Sophia and their son.

By your side

Ethan walked aimlessly through the streets, his mind a whirlwind of emotions. He felt betrayed, lost, and angry.

His phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out to see a message from Mia:

Ethan typed back, his fingers shaking:

Ethan: I told them. It was a disaster.

Mia: Do you want to talk? I'm here if you need me.

Ethan: I just need to be alone for a while.

He stuffed his phone back in his pocket and kept walking, the cold night air biting at his skin.

Across town, Arnold sat in his study, his mind racing. He couldn't stop thinking about Ethan—his son.

He picked up his phone and called his assistant. "Victoria, I need you to arrange a meeting with a family lawyer. As soon as possible."

Victoria hesitated. "Are you sure about this, Mr. Carter? It could escalate things with Rachel's husband."
