Through Haruto’s eyes, readers will experience the thrill of chasing a dream, the struggles of overcoming obstacles, and the joy of achieving the impossible.

Call it petty or perhaps foolish, if you will, but to Lauren, his small revenge became the last saving straw in his drowning life. Lauren became suicidal after finding out that his parents were both alive but had discarded him as a baby right after his birth just for being born different and yet raised his twin sister with so much love and affection. So as a coping mechanism, he made it his life mission to teach them a small lesson by denying his sister, Laura, the joy of being with the only man that she has ever loved as a little token of payment for this unfairness. For years, Lauren lay in wait as he worked as a bar host and planned his simple but well-elaborated revenge against his parents' "golden child." But finding out that he was pregnant with another man's baby not so long after the wedding was never part of his plans. So Lauren knew then that it was time to draw the curtains closed before his "husband" found out that he had been duped. He needs to RUN! So what happens when this said husband too has no intention of letting him get away with this scot-free and intends to find his "fake" wife and make sure that he pays for his deception? What happens then when he realises that the man that he has been searching for is none other than the very husband that he has been running away from? Will he go and claim him back, or will he let his sister be with him, rather? And what if, while Lauren thought that everything that was happening was as a result of his own game plan, he was rather just a pawn in someone else's chess? *** Note: This author would not give warnings for any scene in the book.
