Felix met the love of his life many years ago and she has been with him through many challenges. Never the less, with one incident leading to another he can't help but ask himself if she really is the love of his life. In the past, they made it a point to stick together no matter what; but will they be able to keep this promise once the truth of their past begins to unfold?

Have their hearts began to waver? or were they never in it from the start?

Felix met the love of his life many years ago and she has been with him through many challenges. Nevertheless, with one incident leading to another he can't help but ask himself if she really is the love of his life. In the past, they made it a point to stick together no matter what; but will they be able to keep this promise once the truth of their past begins to unfold?

Have their hearts began to waver? or were they never in it from the start?

this is a story about a girl who is in love with a guy  she puts a lot of efforts to make him fall for her. So lets see what will be finall result.

John Adair once said "Think Outside the box"in 1969.Nowadays,the quotes was welcome as an encouragement for teenagers to work diligently.

An era where peoples enjoyed being pampered,while in the past wars broke out and teenagers was force to join an army while their lovers wait their unrequited love.

Being an orphan,Dante had not received any type of care.He had been enduring it all since he was a kid.No one befriended him because of his unusual and gloomy aura.

Therefore,all sorts of bullying from his peers came to destroy his life.

As he was technically a grown up mentally,he never shown any kind of care but inside he was in a loop of despair.

He wishes to fight for himself but scared to involved himself with the society.Once he made an appearance to present his class for a short story competition,he was embarrassed by his classmates when they unshockingly booed him.

The booed last for a few minutes and turn into silence when the mc came to silenced them.Dante haven't realise the booed because he was inside a prefect room where students usually make announcement.

He had stayed up late night memorizing the short story and expressing his feelings in front of the mirror like a masochist to reduce the boringness unlike the head master who talks like a robot.

Despite all that hardwork without even anyone noticing,he was still a subject to make fun of.After a few day,Dante unpurposely discovered a recording in instagram.The account can be access by students who had the teacher permission to post daily events and achievements.

Out of curiosity,he clicked the icon of the account and a familiar voice was played.Almost all the students who was recorded in the school hall where gathering was hold was laughing,giggling and grinning.Even the teachers seem to hold their laugh.

If god existed what will be his reaction?

Amused?

Delighted?

Astonished?

All Dante can think about was the definition of happiness.

"All my training,is it worth it if I don't use it to the fullest?I wish it was that simple haha"he shrucked after stating the sentences.

Once again he holds the pendant with his right hand.He closes his eyes before going to sleep.













Dispose by his family when he was just a newborn,Dante swore to find the truth about his family.

Aiuchi's Family

Being an orphan,he acknowledge himself to be a loner who deserve to be alone and bully. 

Discovering new thing he prevails and endure but sometime failing turning down and up his cycle of life.(Love,betrayal and ignorance) that he never experience,feel and express.

Follow his journey and difference kind of obstacles to become the strongest as well as the weakest.

"Hurry up!"

"Bring that crate here!"

"Be careful not to fall off the ledge!"

"You, go and recheck the supplies on board."

"Ey, who did the cleaning here? Look at how much dust is left!"

"Sorry, sir, I'll clean it again!"

These are the shouts of sailors from Jiyū Island. They volunteered to help the Azure Pirates to get ready for their upcoming voyage. There are 11 ships ready to set sail. 1 is the main ship, Ocean's Black Star, for the main crew. And the other 10 are for the soldiers. 6000 soldiers have been chosen to come along.

"Ace, please be careful."

"Don't worry, Isabel, there's no way I'll get hurt."

"This is the thousandth time that you have told me that. But you always come back injured."

"Well, I have become much stronger than before, so this time, I really won't get injured."

"Ken, I can't trust this idiot anymore, so please keep him safe," said Isabel as she bowed down.

"Ey, why are you bowing to him! And how dare you call me an idiot!"

Isabel didn't respond and looked at Ken with hopeful eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets back alive."

"But that isn't what I'm worried about! I know that he won't die, but I also don't want to see him hurt."

"Sigh. Ey Ace, if you get even a scratch on you, I'll forbid you from seeing your girlfriend for 1 month." After saying that, Ken walked away.

Both of them froze. They said their goodbyes as if it was their last time they were going to see each other.

"Babe!"

Someone suddenly jumped at Ken, and he caught her in a hug.

"I told you that you didn't have to see me off."

"What, you don't want to see me anymore or something?" asked Celine with a pout.

"How could I not want to see someone this cute."

"That's better. Here, I made some cookies for the crew." Celine handed him a basket filled with cookies.

"Smells nice, and I'm sure they will taste even better. But it is to be expected from the number one baker in my kingdom."

"But that is only because you gathered everyone in the kingdom just to promote my bakery. You even made me say something in front of everyone. I've never been so embarrassed."

"Aren't I an awesome boyfriend then? And there was nothing to be embarrassed about. That speech you gave could make even the marines come and buy something from you."

"Captain, we're ready to leave!" said Jinbe from the ship.

"It seems like I have to go. I'll bring you back some souvenirs."

Celine suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him closer; their lips met. The adults around quickly covered the children's eyes, who came to watch the ships leave.

"I thought that you get easily embarrassed."

"How can I think about anyone else when I'm looking at you? I don't need any souvenirs. Please just come back safely."

"Don't worry. How can I not come back when I know that someone this beautiful is waiting for me."

"That's good to know. Now go to your ship. Don't let everyone wait."

"Ken quickly snuck one more kiss in and then appeared on the ship.

"I'll see you later then!"

"Bye!"

Everyone said their goodbyes, and the ships started leaving. Celine and Isabel looked at the ships disappearing into the horizon with tears in their eyes and praying for their safe return.

---

"Captain, everything is going as scheduled. We will arrive there in 1 week," said Laffite.

"Good, let me immediately know when something is going on."

"Yes, sir."

Ken, Ace, Laffitte, Robert, Van Augur, Paulie, Brook, Jinbe, Urouge, Tani, and Akari are the ones that have left the island. The rest stayed there to protect it.

"Eh, Captain, you know that I can just teleport us there, right?"

"And what's the fun in that? We are supposed to enjoy this. Just teleporting everyone is boring. That's something we should only do if we don't have much time left or if we're trying to do a sneak attack. But we have enough time, and we're going to destroy them head-on."

"I guess you're right."

"I'm always right."

"Haha, yes, sir."

A newspaper bird landed next to Ken, and he bought a newspaper from it.

[The Strawhat Pirates appeared after 2 years of being gone and made it to Sabaody!]

'I'm waiting, Luffy. Become the strongest and come challenge me for the crown. That plot armor of yours, once I crush that, there is no one in this world who can defeat me.'

---

1 week later, the sun is standing high in the sky, and 11 ships are sailing through the most dangerous sea in the world.

"Captain, land in sight!" said Van Augur.

Everyone looked at where Van Augur pointed, but they didn't see anything, even after a couple of minutes.

"Ey, Van Augur, are you sure that you saw it?" asked Ace.

"We are fated to make it to land, so it will be there." Right after he said that everyone finally spotted a small island. As they got closer, they could see that the island was covered filled with giant fruits. When they passed by the island, they spotted another island; this one was covered in cheese.

"She really likes food, huh," said Paulie.

"Likes is an understatement," said Ken.

"Captain, I sense a lot of weird creatures covering the bottom of the sea. I think it's those Territorial Sea Slugs you were talking about. Should I kill them?" asked Van Augur.

"Leave them be. It's not like we're trying to hide. We will take everything she throws at us head-on. If she is waiting for us at the coast, that will only make it easier for us."

"Understood, Captain."

The ships kept sailing past the food island till they made it to the main island, Whole Cake Island. And as Ken hoped, Big Mom was waiting there with all her soldiers. Her hair was already on fire, and her sword was in her hand. She seems ready to go.

"Disperse!"

The 10 ships with Ken's soldiers changed course and started sailing towards other parts of Whole Cake Island, completely surrounding it. But Big Mom didn't seem to care and only focused her attention on the person in front of her. Ken unsheathed Shusui and glared back at Big Mom.

"So the bastards finally showed up," said Page One.

"Akari, it seems like you can finally finish what you promised him the first time you met."

"I'll definitely kill him this time, Captain!"

Besides page one, the other 5 Tobiroppo are also present, including X Drake.

"Jinbe, this is far enough; stop the ship."

"Yes, sir."

But before the ship stopped, Ken already jumped towards Big Mom at an incredible speed.

"Say hello to your kids in hell for me, Big Mom!"

"You can say it yourself, Azure Ken!"

Quotes:

"Love is simply an electrical bug in the human neural circuit." 

- Akasaka Ryuunosuke (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou)

"Love is like a mirror that reflects your bad side. Especially when it's unrequited, you get envious, jealous, prejudiced, and resentful. You have to face all sorts of emotions, but there's no reason to find that shameful." 

- Margery Daw (Shakugan No Shana)

"I want to be with you. From now on, I want to spend all and every single one of my days until I die with you, and only you." 

- Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto Shippuden)

This is a story about a boy that witnessed his little brother being killed by his abusive and drug-addicted parents. After immediately taking his revenge and ending up dying while crying and hugging his little brother, he gets transmigrated into the one-piece world with a 5-year-old body.

What will he do after finding out that he transmigrated here alone in a dangerous world full of monsters? Will he give up on life or continue living and finally be free. 


There will be no system or cheats. He will have knowledge about the One Piece world and use that to his advantage. 

He will have to train like any other person and he won’t get some manual that explains Haki to him.

There also won’t be a harem.

He is the same age as Ace and Sabo so he transmigrated 15 years before the start of the storyline.

Unrequited love isn't as beautiful as it's made out to be. Some people can be happy even when the other person doesn't return their feelings, because knowing their own feelings for that person are undying is enough to satisfy them. But that's bullshit. I'd go so far as to say those people should reconsider their definition of love.

Holding love for someone who doesn't love you back is quite common, and quite painful, especially if the reason they don't love you is because they love someone else. Your head fills with confusion, anxiety, sadness, and anger. You doubt yourself, and your self confidence and emotional availability drop. You start asking yourself self deprecating questions like 'Why them and not me?', 'Am I not good enough?' 'What do they have that I don't?", among other things that only throw you further into despair. But some people don't experience unrequited love, because they're lucky. Those are the kinds of people who think that unrequited love is all romantic and beautiful and what not. They can't understand what it's really like, and so those people ask themselves 'What's so bad about it'?

I, for one, held an unrequited love. I loved my homeroom teacher. I loved her so much, that all my attention was given to her, and I paid no attention to everything else. Only she mattered in the end. I truly cared not about anything or anyone else, but just being in her presence was enough to make me happy to an extent where I could flawlessly pretend I passionately cared about anything to which I gave no fucks, should I choose to put on such a farce. Because of how much I loved her, I constantly experienced sadness and jealousy whenever she got along with other male staff, and even male classmates. I spent most of my time trying to get her to notice me.

'If only she would be with me.'

'Surely she's not taken... right?'

'Mr. Takaoka is being a little too friendly with her.'

'What do I need to do to get her to look at me?'

I thought such things to myself, and that was its own form of torture. When you're sad, someone might tell you 'Just don't think about the things making you sad', but that's easier said than done and they knew that when they told you. Truly, my one-sided love made me sad, angry, and confused. While I wouldn't resort to crime, I was willing to do anything to get her affection. Such is the nature of the unrequited love which I experienced.

But I have no right to advocate for others who hold an unrequited love. Unbeknownst to me, my love wasn't unrequited. My affection was returned, in an amount far greater than I could ever give. Through her I learned a lot of things, and had many new experiences. That's mainly because merely being acquainted with her plunged me head first into a world I didn't want to be a part of. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have been a part of it. And I'd be better off had I not found about about it.

 I still consider that it might have been unavoidable, Ms. Kamiya in the picture or not.

Fate is a sadistic mistress, but life is tough, and people suffer on their own without her interference. Perhaps she was jealous of all the pain I wrought upon myself, and punished me by throwing something 'good' my way.

The goodness of that is debatable, but on this topic I've long since found my answer. Be careful what you wish for. It just might come true.

Takuya's one-sided infatuation with his homeroom teacher dictated his life to such an extent that his entire world revolved around her.

But Takuya despaired, because his smart, kind, caring, beautiful teacher whom he loved was forever out of his reach- or so he thought. In reality, she's an inhuman monster that's madly, psychotically, and violently in love with Takuya.

 He's swiftly caught up in things he wants no part of, mainly clashes between opposite ends of the supernatural spectrum, and realizes that the older woman he's taken a bite out of might be more than he can chew.

How did it come to this? 

The situation right now is kind of bizarre yet interesting. I can explain this in simplicity but it's quite complex at the same time. 

Some might find this entertaining. Well, I also find this weird but I cannot really deny that I'm not interested.

If you were wondering what I'm doing then lets go back where everyrhing started.


...

"My sixth wish is... I want to experience love."Shiroe blushed. She is so embarrassed saying it...

"Love?"I asked.

"Un, yes"She nodded. Looking down, her face was so bright red. She couldn't look at my eyes anymore.

"Why?"I got curious, with her beauty many men would gladly open their arms for her.

But the thought of other men holding her waist makes me annoyed a bit. Fortunately, Men in this world is scarce if not...there would be bloody war.

"Do I really have to tell the reason?"She said.

"Umm if you could... you don't have to if you don't want to tell me."

Shiroe stared at me for a second with a blushing face.

"Shido, promise me you wouldn't laugh..."She said.

"If its not funny then I wouldn't laugh..."I said.

"No promise me."She strongly said.

"Fine fine."

"Thank you..."Shiroe smiled. She then took a deep breathe.

"In my past eternal life, I already know everything. I could do anything from work to knowledge. I can even create a robot from your world. I'm a genius if you call me, I don't want to brag about it...I learned mostly everything, but the only thing I couldn't experience is 'Love'. I've always wondered what love is. What kind of feeling live is. They say love is a great thing. Sadly, as a grimoire 'love' is forbidden. The creator frobid us to be in love."She said, looking at me with sad expression.

"Eh, This is my first time knowing that a grimoire cannot love..."I said. In novels I read, Love is free. Everyone could find love. Whether they are thing or living. Everyone is free to love.

But forbidden to find love is bullshit! Who the heck is this creator, I will smash his face. Forbidding such beautiful woman to fall in love....well, if I'm a male creator seeing such beautiful creation of mine to fall in the hands of other men is something I don't want either. So it's reasonable he would forbid them to fall in love.

Tsk tsk...I shook my head. Since they are forbidden to fall in love there's nothing I can do, the only one who can decide is the grimoire themselves. But doesn't mean I wouldn't give them an advice.


"Shiroe-nee do you want to fall in love?"I asked with a serious face.

Shiroe stared at me for a second before replying."Yeah, I want to experience love."

"You want to huh...but did you know Shiroe-nee love is not easy to find. It's not something you could see or find anywhere. Love is very mysterious, it will appear anytime or anywhere...the only way you could sense love is, when your heart feel very comfortable towards the opposing mate."I said.

"Eh? Love is difficult to find?"She asked.

"Yes..."I said with a serious face.

"But how can I learn love if it's difficult to find..."she asked me a very clueless question. It gives me a headache a bit. Girl, love is not a thing but an emotions, it's something impossible to comprehend. There are many type of love throughout the universe.

How should I explain love to her, even I don't really know what love really is. Because I have a love of my own, my love is different from normal love. 

"Shiroe-nee it's not easy you know. Even I cannot explain what love really is. If I explain it in common sense, love is an act of intimacy of two opposite sex. Love is a way to create a family. That is how to explain in very logical sense or I should say. The basic understanding of love....but you know Shiroe-nee love is a very complicated emotions that everyone have. There are various types of love out there. 

There are love between an older male and young female but these act is scorned to society. Also there is a love between older female and young male. 

There are also a love between different races, as long as the person is attracted towards to that person. It's a love. 

There is also a love between the same gender. But some countries scorned this act and some allowed them...

But the most painful love...do you know it shiroe-nee?"I taught her what I learned about what love is. But I asked her about the most painful love in the world.

"No. But is there really a painful love?"Shaking her head. She intently listened to me. But when she heard 'painful love' she was a bit shock. Because she knew the other love I said but not the painful one.

"Yes, there is Shiroe-nee. There two kind of painful love."I nodded.

"Really two? What are they?"She asked.

"The two most painful love are, The first is Unrequited love. A love that couldn't be fulfilled. A love of that is very difficult to achieve is called unrequited love."I said.

"Unrequited love? Can you give me an example of what unrequited love is, shido?"She asked.

I affirmed her."An example of unrequited love is a love between a married woman and a single man."

"Eh? I don't understand why the man fell in love with a married woman."She was confused why should a man would love a married woman.

"Shiroe-nee just as I said, Love is very impossible to comprehend. It would appear out of nowhere and more importantly love is uncontrollable. That means you can't control love."I said.

"Is that so..."She was still very confused.

"Okay to make you understand easily...You know what an Idol is right?"I asked.

"Yeah, they sing and dance. Also they are very popular and have many people supporting them...I also know how to sing and dnace do you want to see shido?"She nodded with a wide smile she asked me. She always said she doesn't like bragging but she is unconsciously brag about her skills. I shook my head.

Yup She really was saying the truth she knew everything except love or other relationship things.

"Yes that's them. So the example of unrequited love is, A love of a fan towards their idol. Do you know why it's an unrequited love?"I asked. She's smart I'm pretty sure she could easily answer my question.

"That's because an Idol cannot have a lover?"or not. She answered the question right but that's not an unrequited love. But a contract instead.

"Well, you guess the part of it. But the answer is, it's because his love is unrequited to begin with. He knew that his love is not a success. A fan also knew that he is not the only guy who is only in love towards his idol."I explained.

"Eh? Is that so."She said with a shock face."Since he knew his love is impossible why did he not stop?"

"Shiroe-nee, just like I said love is something a person could not control."This is giving me a headache. 

"I-I'm sorry..."She apologized.

"Don't worry, just remember that love is uncontrollable."

"Okay, I will."She nodded.

"As for why cannot stop, it's because he wholeheartedly support his idol and cannot stop himself from loving his idol...But, there are various reasons why he couldn't stop...."I calmly explained.

Shiroe nodded, She get it now. She felt very ashamed earlier, looking at shido still teaching her she became more embarassed. She cannot believe a young human is teaching her about love. But, it appears that he didn't seem bothered teaching her, he seems teaching her wholeheartedly. She felt a bit warmed inside.

This novel contains inappropriate relationship, mainly incest. This also an adult content. So kids are not allowed.

The first 8 chapters was kind of rushed and fast.

I am deeply sorry for not having updated this novel for quite some time. I have been very busy. For one thing, I am in the middle of crafting a screenplay for a Netflix show (fingers crossed!). And as you know, we're all trying to survive this pandemic. So I hope you are all staying safe and healthy out there!
What am I trying to say here?
I only have one important request. Help me write again. For this month, please send this story power stones. The more the better, so that it will have a Power Rank of 50 or higher. As soon as the story gets this Power Rank, it will be enough to motivate me again to write.  And motivation, as everyone knows, is key: in the absence of everything else, such as earnings, fame, or even a small fortune, it's the ranking that thrills us aspiring writers here on Webnovel.
So just a recap of This Crazy Rich Boy so far:
In the last chapter, Claire/Bella is stalked by none other than Miguel Tan. It's crazy, I know, but sometimes unrequited love can drive someone to the brink of madness, or weirdness.
Many years ago, my husband wrote a story called "Blind Spot," which eventually won a literary award in the Philippines. Here below is an excerpt:
----------------------------
If you want her so much, why not stalk her?
That's Andrew speaking. That's Andrew giving me another of his many advices. He's the teacher and I'm the student. He's Socrates and I'm some bumbling Athenian youth. And the subject is unconditional but unrequited love.
No, Andrew says. Unconditional and unrequited love. It's the tyranny of the "and." Unconditional "and" unrequited. Andrew laughs.
We're fond of this teacher–student fiction. It's some form of catharsis for me, some outlet where most afternoons I cross the grassy vacant lot behind our house to Andrew's art deco home and listen to his intriguing opinion on most things under the sun.
The question's not for me, I say. It's for some friend, or some friend of a cousin's friend, who happens to be a victim of unconditional and unrequited love.
Stalk her and when it gets unbearable, let her see you, Andrew says. Let her see you and wait until you see terror in her eyes. Wait and look in her eyes until you learn first-hand why they all say the greatest love in this universe is the one that is never returned.
Then you retreat back into the darkness.
She's this figure that comes out of a door. She's this perfume that so subtly floats in the air until it surrounds me and drowns me. She's the core of a swirling mass of weird friends and crazy parties. She's the hollow sound on the concrete pavement, the click-clack click-clack of little shoes that thinly echoes in the night.
She's the reason why there are many things I never tell people, not even to the ones I'm closest to. She's the reason why I tell lies, why I obfuscate, why I insist that the question is not for me, but for a friend of a friend of a friend Andrew no longer knows.
And Andrew, of course, doesn't believe me. He so easily sees the lie through the teeth.
I am her shadow each night she escapes from something that's so near it burns her. She's this moth that hates the darkness and flutters toward something that burns so damn bright. She goes to these parties crawling with other desperate kids. She drowns her little head in the mind-numbing repetitive beats of trance music. She sinks in the swirl of tax-free gin and tequila and surging sexual hormones. She lets loose herself in these parties, and these parties swallow her up like a quicksand would. Sometimes I am tempted to claw her out, to save her, to be her knight in shining armor, with a golden broadsword in my hand and courage in my heart. But she doesn't really need me. I'm really an outsider. Always have been, always will. I stand outside, always outside of where things happen, staring through the glass walls, patiently watching her every move.
Every languid sway of her mandolin hips excites me. My heart leaps with her laughter. I see her flirting with a boy and I close my eyes and imagine I am that boy in the worn-out leather jacket, sipping my wine. I am that boy caressing her white knee as I reach the climax of my small talk. For a fleeting moment, I am that boy, tasting what he's tasting, speaking what he's speaking, enjoying my two minutes when I am the center of her lethargic attention. I am that boy who tells her what I feel and maybe, when she's not looking, brush my hand against her soft skin and feel its warmth, its tenderness, its hidden longings.
She comes out in the night when her father is dead drunk. I see her as I stand in the shadows across the street. I watch her as she slips out of the door so carefully like a cat in stealth. At the crack of dawn, just before her father wakes up, she steals across the dark streets in half-drunken gracefulness. And across the street, in the bluish shadows, I stand and watch and wait and bite my lip.
Every night, I take out my heart, lay it on the pavement, and watch it bleed. Bleed until it's dry. Powder dry. Every morning, I wonder how it is to actually see your own heart dried up on the pavement. How would I feel? Would I poke at it with a stick, search for the waves of love and lust that used to animate it? Dried up on the pavement, I'll probably see my heart for what it really is: just a piece of black, rotting flesh. Just organic cells and tissues bound up together that any stray dog can eat. Not the end-all and be-all of the universe. Not the magical thing that makes the world go round.
I want to tell these discoveries to her face, to tell her how small she is, how ridiculously insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But each night, when she comes out and her perfume tells me otherwise, my heart beats so fast like it's going to jump out of my chest.
My heart tells me one thing: You're an idiot.
I am an idiot. I am an idiot for daring to defy its power. For refusing to believe that, yes, it is really the be-all and end-all of the universe."

It's quite a long story, so if you're interested, you'll be able to read it in whole by ordering on Google Play (play.google.com/store/books/details?id=X7fwDwAAQBAJ&fbclid=IwAR2EeCEq2wcGXRro7pIhH6rdBTwf8SPQS3RJRGRDOyv9EATL78a70BpDlhg) or on Amazon (just search for Don't Blink ** Lazarte in Books).
But back to This Crazy Rich Boy.
To tell you the truth, this story isn't earning that much. The sheer amount of time I spend writing here is not rewarded with what it deserves. In other words, I came to the point of questioning myself and my own aspirations. I wanted to be on the Webspirity Awards, but for some technicality, it turned out I was not qualified. And it was heartbreaking for me because the Webspirity Award and getting a chance to win that prize money was the very thing that inspired me to sign up on this Webnovel platform. And now it was not possible.
So now I'm at a crossroads. What do I do? Should I continue writing the novel here on Webnovel, or should I take this story elsewhere?
I would love to hear your opinion. Or at least some encouraging words. I miss Claire/Bella. I miss Gabriel Tan. I miss writing about them, but I am saddled with the need to do something worthwhile, finance-wise, and do something I love, which is this thankless job of crafting a story for this platform.
In any case, please leave a comment. Or send Power Stones my way. If this story ranks 50 or higher, it would re-motivate me to keep this going.
And most importantly, please stay safe, healthy, and happy!

"Work for me for a month, for free. Survive the month, and you'll walk away a rich woman."

All Claire wants is a job, any job. Smart, confident, and an over-achiever at school, she doesn't understand why companies keep rejecting her. 

Until she gets a strange job offer from the most eligible bachelor in the country, the CEO and President of a global company, Gabriel Tan. 

In her desperation, Claire says yes to the offer--and all hell breaks loose. Little did she know that working for Gabriel would be much more complicated than fetching him his coffee--that she would have to put on the greatest performance of her life. 

Worse, Claire soon discovers a rarely seen side of Gabriel--a side that would make her change her mind--and her heart--about this crazy rich boy.
