James and Hyzera grew up side by side. Same neighborhood. Same schools. Same friend group. For as long as he could remember, Hyzera had always been there. At first, she was simply his childhood friend. Then his best friend. And somewhere along the way... She became the person he loved most. The problem? He never told her. What James doesn't know is that years ago, their parents quietly made a promise: if their children were still single as adults, they would arrange a marriage between them. Neither James nor Hyzera knows about it. But unlike Hyzera, James has already fallen. Hard. For years, he has watched her grow into someone incredible while keeping his feelings buried deep inside. Because he'd rather stay by her side as her best friend than risk losing her completely.

The only thing standing between them... Is the truth neither of them knows. Their parents have already chosen each other as family long ago. And James has been loving her long before that.
It was nearly midnight. The city lights shimmered outside Hyzera's apartment window while she sat surrounded by books, notes, and unfinished assignments. As usual... There was only one person still awake with her. James.
