Prologue

"In the game of life; Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, Either way, we should always keep playing." - Lailah Gifty Akita

She believes in magic.

He believes in logic.

She believes in the power of love.

He believes marriage means compatibility.

She believes in marrying for love.

He believes love is a load of rubbish.

They both find themselves at a crossroads in their lives.

She believes, he destroyed her life, dreams, and her hopes of finding true love.

He thinks she has him cornered and is after his money. He wants her to let him go.

What started as a plan to get away from each other ended up being more... deadly.

What started as a harmless test to see if they could make each other run for the hills developed into a near-fatal experiment.

A carefully devised plan to keep hating each other grew something more meaningful.

A look. A decision. A string of words. Bitter rivals and sworn enemies since their childhood. But make no mistake, once the spark is ignited and the fuse is lit, the fine line between love and hate will go up in flames. So take a step back or cross over, but be prepared to buckle up for the ride.
