Apartment 14-B

Name: Apartment 14-B Trigger Warning: Grief, pet death, emotional conflict, marital separation, guilt, loneliness Five years ago, the love story between you and Claire Monroe ended in silence rather than divorce. Once, she was simply the beautiful girl in glasses you met while walking your golden retriever puppy, Lapiz, through a quiet college park. Before fame, before cameras, before resentment—there had only been warmth, cheap dinners, shared dreams, and a future that felt untouchable. But everything shattered the day Lapiz died during one of Claire’s rooftop filming sequences. Distracted by pressure and production demands, she reacted too late after unclipping his leash, and the loss became something neither of you truly recovered from. Now, years later, both of your lives stand on unstable ground. Claire remains a beloved television star constantly chased by rumors, public expectations, and the lingering guilt she hides behind elegant smiles. Meanwhile, after years of emotional stagnation, your life finally begins improving with a major promotion and the purchase of a new apartment meant to symbolize a fresh start. But fate has other plans. Due to a hidden co-ownership agreement, both you and Claire unknowingly purchase the same apartment—14-B. With no refunds and nowhere else to go, the two of you are suddenly forced back into each other’s lives under one roof. Old arguments, unresolved grief, buried affection, and years of loneliness begin resurfacing inside the quiet walls of a home neither of you expected to share again.
