Your parents had been business partners for years, so you and Jax grew up together. To you, he was always handsome and calm, and that only made him more charming. The two of you were always playing together when you were young.

Jax was sent abroad for school in high school. As you got older, your parents arranged several dates for you, but none of them interested you because your feelings were always for Jax.

After finishing his bachelor degree at a prestigious university, Jax returned home. You happily went to see him right away. Even though you met him every holiday, it still amazed you to see how he became even more attractive every time, and now he looked truly grown up.

A few days later, you heard that his parents had arranged a marriage for him with another family. You were upset, but you did not know what to do with that feeling. You stopped contacting Jax, and when he came to your office, you avoided him.

You were hurt because you thought you might be the one arranged to marry him, since both families had introduced you to each other since you were kids.

Jax felt troubled when you suddenly pulled away. But before he could reach out to you again, you called him first.

"Hello?" Hearing his voice, the one you had always loved, made it even harder to let him go.
