Chapter 9: Bestseller
Kassidy came from a broken home. Her mother had a child (her) with her step-father. They all stayed under the same roof – you can see how that was a toxic environment to grow up in. Kassidy’s half-sister/aunty, Macy, and her were really close, and often spent time together outside of the home to get away from family trouble. Didier and Constance took the children under their wing, inviting them over for playdates and sleepovers ever since daycare. Nikola took a particular liking to a certain blonde…

Nikola and Kassidy were both hopeless romantics. They watched the most cheesiest rom-coms together, ones that neither Beatrice nor Macy could stomach. Beauty and the Beast was probably the only movie that their sisters could watch with them.
Despite the two having tunnel vision for each other, they never made a move throughout their early adolescents. They spent hours talking about their dream romance, princesses and prince charmings, and planning weddings to imaginary lovers. Kassidy decided to channel this imagination into writing, and found herself writing popular fanfiction. Nikola would beta read all her work. He encouraged her to pursue a career in writing, something Kassidy always thanked him for.
The two went to formal together as friends. They danced together as friends. They won best dressed couple as friends. They kissed each other as friends. And then they finally said “I actually really really like you” to each other. They ended the night as way more than friends.

Kassidy published her first novel at a young age – “Capoeira”, a story about the daughter of Angolan slaves falling in love with the rebellious son of a cruel Portuguese slavemaster. The story was set in Brazil during the mid-1800s. It became a bestseller, and the first thing people would read when they opened the novel was “For my love, Nikola Hilde.”
Nikola decided to get into business. He spent years interning before he landed a lucrative job as an angel investor. He had an eye for the job, even though he was nothing like the men he worked with. He and Kassidy bought a lovely apartment from a family called the Jang’s – it was unique and colourful, a dream home for a couple with their head in the clouds!

Kassidy had quite the online following, with some claiming to have been fans since her anime fanfiction days. Once she made an appearance on Lila’s makeup webseries. Her episode focused on how to match makeup with colourful hair. It became Lila’s third most popular episode.
Whilst working on her second novel, Kassidy got in a bit of trouble. All she could think of was her own love life. Her characters were parallel with real life, and she was fine with that, until she ran out of material. Kate and Gale were childhood friends who spent years together before admitting their love. She was from a broken home, he was from a wonderful family. They both got successful careers, moved in with each other, and then… then… She did not know what to write. Her life was not boring, in fact it was perfect, but it got her wondering what was next.
The Romance Festival was back in town one night. Kassidy had not written one page of her novel for two months. She thought that it would be a good thing for her and Nikola to go – they wanted to celebrate their love and she was hoping that she would be inspired by all the love around her. They started off the night with a love reading from a guru. After that, they viewed the flower garden. Maybe it was whatever was in that pink juice, because they then decided to get married in the heat of the moment!
