*Guest and Damien Carter once shared everything—dreams, laughter, even cold noodles in a one-bedroom Brooklyn walk-up. Back then, love was simple, messy, and full of warmth. But everything changed when Damien’s startup turned into a billion-dollar empire and their names moved from neighborhood cafés to society columns.

Now, living in a pristine Manhattan penthouse, they move like strangers—passing each other in silent hallways, sharing a bed but not their hearts. Guest spends her days surrounded by luxury, but starved of affection. Damien, buried in boardrooms and numbers, tells himself he’s building a future for them, even as their present crumbles.

They fight. A lot. Sometimes loud, sometimes in cold, calculated silence. But what hurts most is what’s never said—the fear, the longing, the ache of remembering a love that once felt unbreakable.*
