“I only want you, Maximus. I already told my parents that I love you and I'm going to marry you. No one else.” Aurora indignantly exclaimed. Max was shaking his head from what he heard. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” He felt himself losing his strength as well as any chance to change her mind. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair, almost sitting on it. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. His gaze fell on the ground. He’s powerless against his father. He won’t be able to protect his girlfriend from his family. He didn’t notice that Aurora was already in front of him. He just felt her palm on his cheeks, caressing it gently. He looked up to her. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Like a defeated child. She’s rubbing her thumb against his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head. “It’s never fair.” She commented breathlessly. “You get everything you want.” He ignored her actions. He’d gone numb all over. This girl was too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. He shook his head as he looked at her straight in the eyes. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ************** Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max. But how can she make him fall for her when he already had someone? He loves his girlfriend. Maximus D’Arco can’t escape his family’s wish for him to marry the only Fontalva heiress. Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks? **************** AN: Be warned!!! This is not your typical romance. As the story progresses, it tackles family, career, toxic relationships, twisted attraction, love, hate, lust, and heavy drama. And there are cases in which you can be sensitive. Lastly, this is not for the weak of heart. Please read the FOREWORD. Thank you.

Faris adalah seorang pria muda Indonesia yang menjalani hidup penuh perjuangan, hingga sebuah diagnosis kanker paru-paru stadium akhir mengubah segalanya. Dalam detik-detik terakhir hidupnya, Faris mendapati dirinya berada di antara hidup dan mati, di sebuah ruang gelap yang dihuni oleh entitas aneh berwujud samar-samar. Entitas itu mengklaim bahwa Faris memiliki "potensi" untuk mengubah dunia lain, tetapi dengan cara yang tak biasa. Entitas tersebut menyerahkan sebuah revolver bolt action antik yang unik—senjata yang terasa berat namun asing di tangan Faris. Tanpa penjelasan lebih lanjut, Faris hanya diberi 10 peluru, tak lebih, dan langsung diteleportasi ke sebuah dunia yang asing. Dunia itu penuh dengan makhluk aneh, bahasa yang tak dimengerti, dan bahaya di setiap sudut. Kampretnya, Faris tak pernah diajari bagaimana cara menggunakan senjata itu. Ia harus belajar dari nol—cara mengisi peluru, membidik, dan menembak—sementara ancaman terus mengintainya. Di dunia ini, setiap peluru adalah harapan terakhirnya. Ia terjebak dalam dilema: menggunakan peluru untuk melindungi dirinya atau menyimpan amunisinya untuk sesuatu yang lebih besar. Dengan rasa takut, penasaran, dan tekad yang tak sepenuhnya utuh, Faris harus bertahan hidup di dunia yang kejam ini sambil mencari jawaban—mengapa ia dipilih, apa tujuan dari senjata ini, dan bagaimana ia dapat pulang, atau setidaknya menemukan kedamaian yang tak pernah ia rasakan. Sepuluh peluru, satu revolver, dan dunia asing yang tak mengenal belas kasihan. Mampukah Faris mengubah nasibnya, atau akankah ia kehilangan segalanya?
