Love, In The Most Surprising Way

“You’re not someone a person can easily forget.

I wouldn’t forget you, even if I wanted to.”

Alisa, a bright-eyed, passionate preschool teacher, can’t stand Gadafi: the arrogant, conceited man who, despite his charming looks, does not fit Alisa’s standards at all. Just the thought of him makes her shudder. Never, not in a million years!

Yet life keeps drawing her path and Gadafi’s together. Through family ties and unexpected moments, Alisa begins to see another side of him—and, to her surprise, the gentleman turns out to be… quite alright.

But when the truth about Gadafi’s past reveals itself, leaving her sister heartbroken, Alisa’s fragile trust shatters. Her perception of him turns sour once again.

Was he only pretending to be good?

No matter how hard she tries to walk away, Alisa cannot deny that Gadafi is always there for her whenever she needs help—leaving her even more confused. Should she listen to her own heart, or fall prey to her doubts?
