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.

"Who's this?" Ethan asked, holding up the screen.

Arnold glanced at the photo, his expression unreadable. "An old friend."

"She looks like more than a friend," Ethan pressed.

Arnold chuckled, a hint of sadness in his voice. "She was someone I cared about once, but it didn't work out. Life has a way of complicating things."

Ethan leaned back, studying Arnold. "You seem to have a lot of those—complications."

Arnold met his gaze, his tone serious. "Life isn't as simple as you think, Ethan. But I promise, I'll always be honest with you. No more secrets."

Ethan nodded, but his mind was already racing. He wasn't sure he could take Arnold's word at face value.

Ethan couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Arnold's story. When Arnold left for a meeting the next morning, Ethan took the opportunity to snoop around the penthouse.
