THE GIRL HE THOUGHT WAS DEAD

Matthew Ashford gave up everything for Maya Davis,his family’s fortune, their approval, even his name. Together, they fled to build a life on their own terms, fighting tooth and nail just to pay rent while finishing college. But his parents won’t let him go that easily, and every door in town slams shut the moment his last name is spoken. When Sophia Vanderbilt,his parents’ chosen fiancée,offers him a way out, Matthew takes it, convinced he can keep his past hidden and protect Maya from the chaos he left behind. But secrets have a way of coming to light, and one edited video shatters the trust they’ve fought so hard to build. On the night Matthew plans to make things right,with a ring in his pocket and a future in his heart,a truck careens across the road. Maya pushes him to safety, taking the full impact herself. By morning, Matthew is told she didn’t survive. Three years later, Matthew has rebuilt his life in Seattle, honoring Maya’s memory by building community centers for kids who need them most. He’s even started a life with Sophia, though love has never touched his heart the way it did with Maya. Across the street, in a quiet rehabilitation center, a woman named Emma wakes up with no memory of who she is. All she knows is that strangers call her their daughter, and something pulls her to stare out the window at the high-rise building just beyond the glass. Two lives torn apart by lies. Two hearts still bound by love. When their paths finally cross, will Matthew recognize the woman he thought he’d lost forever? And will Emma remember the man who was once her whole world,before the truth of what really happened tears them apart again?

NO SPONSORS, JUST US

Mateo Rivas lives off his voice, his charisma, and his ability to keep thousands of people glued to a screen. He's one of the most promising streamers in the U.S. e-sports scene: quick-witted, magnetic, always in control… until a contract mishap forces him to share an apartment with someone who doesn't belong in his world. Selene Álvarez doesn't want to be seen. She sings at night, writes lyrics too raw to polish, and hates the idea of turning her music into "content." She lives off the algorithm's grid, surviving on small gigs and an identity she refuses to sand down for approval. The first time her voice accidentally leaks into one of Mateo's streams, the internet explodes. The chemistry is instant. Uncomfortable. Electric. The audience ships them. Sponsors smell profit. They try to pretend they don't want each other. But sharing a roof, late-night silences, and glances that linger too long make distance impossible. Between live streams, impromptu rehearsals, and tension-charged dawns, desire grows without clear rules: kisses that promise nothing, bodies seeking each other without labels, jealousy neither will admit. When fame starts demanding control—over Selene's music and Mateo's image—the relationship cracks. The decisions left unspoken hurt more than the fights. She chooses to leave. He stays… and begins to lose everything. Europe brings intense reunions, nights without cameras, and sex charged with anger and need. Asia imposes discipline, censorship, and an even more dangerous intimacy: forbidden glances in public, skin against skin in locked hotel rooms, love held tight under rules that forgive no mistakes. Between international stages, global broadcasts, and an industry eager to consume them separately, Mateo and Selene must decide whether what burns between them is just desire… or something worth protecting—even when it isn't profitable. Because when the cameras shut off, what's left isn't always safe. But sometimes, it's real.
