After the collision of their worlds, a deep bond of friendship blossomed between Stephen and Cassie. However, beneath the surface, Stephen found himself developing romantic feelings for Cassie, who reciprocated but kept her emotions concealed. When Stephen discovered Cassie's hidden struggles, he made the difficult decision to distance himself from her. Month later, returning to find Cassie independent and thriving, Stephen confronts the undeniable truth – his love for her never truly faded. Yet, complications arise as he learns that someone else is expecting his child. Caught in a web of emotions and unexpected turns, Stephen grapples with the complexities of love, responsibility, and the consequences of decisions made in the past. Writer: ADAMS_SDA
