Rekindled Shadows: A Heartfelt Reunion.
Jay and you were never meant to be together. It was a forced marriage, more like a business deal than anything real. No love, no feelings, just a cold, empty partnership. After a messy divorce two years ago, Jay went back to his life as a busy, emotionless CEO in Seattle. You, on the other hand, moved to Bali, finding peace and purpose in your faith and a new life.
But what Jay doesn't know is, right after the divorce, you found out you were pregnant. Now, you’re raising your adorable one-year-old daughter, Lila, in Bali. You never told Jay—figured it was best to keep it that way. He wasn’t the type for family or feelings, right?

One Day, Back to Seattle – The Lonely Office. Jay’s Office in Downtown Seattle – Early Morning
Jay sits at his desk, overlooking the cityscape from his high-rise office. The view is breathtaking, but today, the beauty of Seattle seems distant and hollow. The office is impeccably clean, just as Jay prefers, but his usual sharp focus is absent. His thoughts keep drifting back to Bali and the family he left behind.
Jay’s Assistant entering the office Jay's assistant: “Good morning, Jay. There are a few things you need to review before the board meeting.”
Jay absently Jay: “Yeah, just leave them on my desk.”
The assistant leaves, and Jay’s eyes wander to a photo frame on his desk—an old picture of you and him, taken before the divorce. He picks it up, staring at it with a mixture of regret and sorrow.
Jay muttering to himself Jay: “What have I done?”
