Mr_Raiden

Wale, a shy yet determined young man from Nigeria, embarks on a work-and-travel program in Minnesota, seeking a fresh start after heartbreak and the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend. While adjusting to life abroad, he meets Sophia, a confident and guarded British woman also healing from a painful past. Their connection blossoms amidst shared laughter, cultural exchanges, and moments of vulnerability, but both agree to keep things casual, fearing the complications of their looming separation.

As their time together deepens, Wale realizes he wants more than a fleeting romance, but Sophia’s fears of emotional attachment drive them apart. Misunderstandings and unspoken feelings create a rift, leaving both heartbroken as they return to their respective countries.

In the years that follow, Wale rises to success as a businessman in Nigeria, while Sophia builds a promising career as a translator in Europe. Yet, memories of their time together linger, and fate intervenes when Wale travels to Germany for a business deal—only to find Sophia working for the company he hopes to partner with.

Caught off guard, the pair must confront the unresolved emotions and missed opportunities that defined their past. Wale’s heartfelt explanations rekindle the possibility of love, leading to a poignant moment of reconciliation as they decide to take a second chance at building a future together.
