With graduation day just around the corner, she’s excited for what the future holds. And she’s anxiously awaiting the arrival of her parents to show them the life she’s created with their distant support. But a life changing call from her mom leaves her in limbo, unable to figure out how to go on, or how to help them when they’ve given her so much. Jackson Morgan believes his life is perfect. His little sister, Liv, is one of his best friends, he owns his own company which comfortably provides for him everything he wants and plenty he doesn’t. Liv encourages him to settle down and create the perfect family like she has, but he’s riding the wave of success and is happier with relationships that last no more than three dates. His conversation with Liv works its way into his personal life and decides to take a risk there, rather than just in his professional life. So when his path crosses with Kim’s at this turning point for both of them, neither of them see what’s coming or what it can mean for their futures. But each holds the key to the other’s happiness, if only they can see past their own insecurities and fears. == > Please note that this story ends on a cliffhanger and parts 2-5 will be released two weeks apart. less

Kim can’t believe she’s been talked into this plan to make quick cash to help her parents. Sure, she can’t come up with another idea that could be so lucrative and possibly give her mother the life saving cancer treatment she needs, but is this really her? Is this really the life she’s choosing to live now? There is one question that is eating away at her and can only be answered by going through with her plan: Who will I be on the other side of tonight? As the night progresses and she ends up going out with the last man she expected to see, she realizes that she’s both terrified and beyond curious, so she keeps going. They get closer and closer to the main reason for their date and Kim realizes that she’s fulfilling her most secret need. She’s wanted this for so long but could never put words to it. Finally, as the night comes to a close, she knows she wants more. But she’s no longer the million dollar prize that everyone was fighting over, she’s no longer anything special. And that question pops up again: Who will I be tomorrow? == > Please note that this story ends on a cliffhanger and parts 2-5 will be released two weeks apart. less
