PROLOGUE 

      In a city alive with the rhythm of ambition and dreams, two sisters, Ari and Mia, navigated the complexities of love, jealousy, and ambition. Ari, the older sister, was a quiet soul with big dreams, determined to make her mark in the world. Mia, on the other hand, was bold and assertive, unafraid to take what she wanted—even if it meant competing with her own sister.

Their lives took a sharp turn when Ari met Leo, a charismatic dancer whose passion and charm captured her heart. But Leo was no stranger to the sisters—he had once been the object of Mia’s affection. Though Leo had made it clear to Mia that his feelings were not romantic, the knowledge that her sister was now growing closer to him sparked a rivalry that neither of them fully understood.

As Ari and Leo’s bond deepened, so did the tension between the sisters. Ari’s feelings for Leo grew, but she was conflicted by her loyalty to Mia and the unresolved emotions that lingered between them. Their relationship was further complicated by Leo’s own uncertainty. While there was undeniable chemistry between him and Ari, he hesitated to define their relationship, leaving Ari in a state of confusion and longing.

The story unfolds as Ari and Leo navigate their complicated feelings for each other. The dance studio becomes a place of both solace and tension, where emotions run high and unspoken words hang in the air. Each encounter between Ari and Leo brings them closer, yet pushes them apart, as they struggle with their own fears and insecurities.

Mia, watching from the sidelines, battles her own jealousy and resentment. She had once loved Leo deeply, and seeing him with her sister reopens old wounds. But Mia is not one to be easily deterred. She is determined to protect her sister, even if it means confronting her own feelings and accepting the reality of the situation.

TO HEAVEN WITH YOU

 The morning air was still refreshing as Ari, Mia, Noah, and Ethan arrived at the karaoke center. The venue was alive with the buzz of anticipation and the hum of background music. Ari, still feeling apprehensive, glanced around, taking in the vibrant surroundings. Despite her initial hesitation, she knew this outing was meant to be a change from her recent troubles, so she resolved to go along with it. 


Mia, always the enthusiastic planner, eagerly encouraged Ari to take the stage. “Go ahead, Ari. I know you love singing, and everyone’s waiting to hear you,” Mia urged with a supportive grin. 


Ari took a deep breath, acknowledging Mia's encouragement. She approached the stage and, as the instrumental track started, she began to sing. Her voice filled the room, rich and clear, weaving a spell over the audience. The applause that followed was heartfelt, and Ari felt a brief escape from her recent worries.
