Clementine L/N has spent seven years trying to outrun the past — and failing. At twenty‑three, she’s raising her daughter alone, juggling bills she can’t pay, and fighting a custody battle she’s terrified she might lose. Her father’s support is gone. Her options are disappearing. And the one secret she swore she’d take to her grave is the one thing she can’t protect anymore. Across the city, Y/N L/N lives a life she can barely imagine — penthouse views, money that never runs out, and a reputation built in underground rings that nearly destroyed him. He’s powerful now. Untouchable. And completely unaware that the girl he once loved left with more than heartbreak. When Clementine’s world finally cracks, she makes the call she promised herself she’d never make. Y/N answers immediately. He doesn’t know why she left. He doesn’t know what she’s hiding. He doesn’t know he has a daughter. But once he learns the truth, nothing — not the past, not the lies, not the years between them — will stop him from claiming the family he never knew existed.
