Winning her heart again

Xavier Knight, the sole heir of Knight's empire, was known for his wealth and popularity, but he was equally recognized for his kindness and humanity, never flaunting his riches. His friendship with Ethan Anderson, admired by many, was particularly notable.

Isabella Anderson, Ethan’s sister, had always been a vivacious and affectionate girl. Since the eighth grade, she had harbored deep feelings for Xavier, seeing him as the man of her dreams. However, when she finally confessed her love, Xavier rejected her. The pain of this rejection was something she carried in her heart, trying to distance herself from him.

A pivotal incident drastically altered their relationships. Isabella’s love turned to hatred, and Ethan's friendship with Xavier crumbled, transforming into bitter enmity. The siblings severed all ties with Xavier and vanished from his life as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth.

Five years later, Isabella and Xavier crossed paths unexpectedly at a grand event. Isabella was no longer the sweet, bubbly girl she once was. She had become a top model, known for her arrogance and cold demeanor, with a reputation for making people tremble with a single glance.

When Isabella spotted Xavier at the ceremony, she noticed the conflicting emotions in his eyes. However, her heart, now hardened and numb, felt nothing. She walked past him without a second thought, coldly informing him that she was no longer significant to him, nor was she ever love him anymore.
