Pemenang "People's Choice Award 2019" untuk "Best Diverse". “Sekarang kamu tahu rahasiaku. Itu sangat buruk, Summers.” Dia menyeringai. Seringai kutu buku itu! Dan itu membuatku gila, tapi saat ini, dia terlihat sangat tampan. “Aku gak akan kasih tahu siapa pun,” kataku cepat-cepat, berharap itu memberi jaminan yang dia butuhkan sehingga dia bisa membiarkanku pergi karena meskipun dia terlihat sangat tampan, dia juga tampak berbahaya. Berusaha untuk tidak gemetar, aku menggigit bibirku. Matanya menangkap pergerakanku dan dia membungkuk ke depan, mengisi lubang hidungku dengan aroma ganjanya yang dia hirup tadi. Memiringkan kepalanya, dia berdecak-decak dan tersenyum. “Langkah yang salah.” Setelah itu, bibirnya menyambar bibirku, mengetuk seluruh udara dari paru-paruku. Dia menciumku tanpa ampun. Lidahnya menyelinap ke lipatan kecil dari mulutku, dan pikiranku mendadak kosong ketika kurasakan ujung lidahnya mencumbu lidahku. Mendorongku jauh, dia memperhatikanku dengan tatapan nakal di wajahnya saat dia berkata, “Sekarang aku akan menjadi milikmu.” [ Mengandung unsur dewasa ]

The day I died, the baby in my womb was only five months old. In that final phone call, my father, John Harlow, the godfather of the Harlow family, spoke with a voice as icy as a loaded gun. "A married woman belongs to her husband's family, even in death." When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I had been placed under house arrest. He was circling my college application with a red pen. "Girls who study art are easier to marry off." In front of him, I tore the family's marriage alliance files into pieces. "I'm going to Camford University. I'm studying Computer Science." He sprang to his feet so suddenly that his finger nearly jabbed my face, his sleeve cuff revealing the family crest tattoo. "If you dare defy me, don't ever regard me as godfather." I smiled. "Exactly what I want." Meeting his stunned gaze, I spoke each word deliberately. "The name Harlow. I have long stopped wanting it."

“There's this thing when you meet a person but all you feel is hate even though he didn't do anything to you.” Maybe that’s what JR feels for Gerard. Once the other man saw Gerard’s face, all it takes is a second from a face devoid of any emotion to scowling one when JR lays his eyes on him. Imbes tuloy na matuwa si Gerard na nakita na niya sa wakas ang matagal na niyang hinahanap na matalik na kaibigan noong mga bata pa sila, nawala ang saya na iyon nang maramdaman niya ang pagkadisgusto ni JR sa kanya kahit wala naman siyang ginagawa rito. Hindi na siya umamin at ang pag-aasam na maging kaibigan ito muli ay nauwi sa wala. But why after years of not seeing each other, John Raven suddenly wants to be friends with him again? Why was the other hell bent on making up with him? Naaalala na ba siya nito o may mas malalim pang dahilan ang paglapit ni JR sa kanya?

For eight years, I stayed by John Harlem's side, even without a title. I was there when he recovered and rose from his wheelchair, and I was there when he clawed his way out of depression. I thought that one day, if I endured long enough, he would see my sincerity and affection for him. And we might end up together. But when his first love returned to the country, all my hopes turned into delusions. He told me to put away feelings I should never have had and remain by his side as nothing more than his "sister". For her, he deceived me, humiliated me, and pushed me away. What he never knew was that in helping him heal, I had absorbed far too much of his darkness. The very day he stopped taking his medication, I was diagnosed with severe depression. In order to save myself, I chose to let him go… and married his uncle instead. But at my wedding, he set aside his pride and dignity, dropped to his knees before everyone, and begged me for nothing more than a single glance.
