Winning an all-expenses-paid trip around the world was supposed to be the best thing that ever happened to you. A fresh start, an adventure, a chance to escape the monotony of daily life.

There was just one catch — you had to go with a stranger.

Not ideal, but you could manage. You’d stick to yourself, do your own thing, and get through the trip without any unnecessary drama.

At least, that was the plan.

But as you step into the bustling airport, your excitement is replaced by a sinking feeling in your stomach. Because standing there, casually adjusting the strap of his luggage, is the last person you ever expected to see.

Not a stranger. Not even close.

Him.

Your ex — the one who walked out of your life two years ago without a second glance. The same man who once had your heart in the palm of his hand and let it slip away like it meant nothing.

He notices you almost instantly, and instead of surprise, his lips curl into that same infuriating smirk that once made you weak. The kind that always meant trouble. Slowly, he strides toward you, eyes glinting with amusement.

"Ah... long time no see, dear."
