Chaos and Drama threatens to tear apart two Best friends in this story. We've all heard stories about how one guy kissed another guy's girlfriend or crush. But what should happen when a guy chooses to kiss his Best Friend's mother?! ### " Guys who date women twice their age have mommy issues," Amanda , my best friend's mom ,informed and I sneered at her statement. " Or maybe they aren't scared of the challenge?" I quipped, smirking at her as she lifted her shot of vodka and chugged it down like a pill. Her face scrunched up at the bitter aftertaste and my lips twitched in an unsolicited smirk. Leaning towards her, my stare devouring her from across the table, I silently dared her to speak further but in turn she shrugged. " Psychology says otherwise ," She sent a wink my way. " Well," I leaned back on my seat, hands sprawled across the head rest." Let's hope your son doesn't fall victim of said mommy issues,." The joke earned me a light chuckle from her. " You know darn well that you're the victim of mommy issues." And leaning closer to me, her breathe colliding against the exposed flesh on my neck, she whispered erotically," Prove me wrong, Maxwell.

After the massacre of her previous masters, Seul-Ki is transferred to the Royal Palace to work for Queen Bae Joo-Hyun--an ice-cold Queen with an unreasonable attitude. Despite the reputation, Seul-Ki finds the Queen to be an enticing mystery, a feeling that is surprisingly reciprocated. Curiosity grows into passion, and a forbidden relationship begins to blossom between them amidst opposite forces: the Queen's duty to the King, a rising tension in the courts, and jealous wrath from the Concubine who vies for the King's attention. While Seul-Ki falls deeper and deeper in love with the woman she cannot have, the world around her spirals more and more into a political storm she cannot control. There is nothing she can do to protect the Queen, no matter how much she is willing to sacrifice for her. The world is cruel, and the Queen's maid is powerless. *A Korean historical romantic tragedy inspired by the iconic lesbian movie, The Handmaiden.* *** First written date: 15 Jul 2022 First published date: 15 Sep 2022 Completed date: 19 Jan 2023 Edited date: TBD Word Count: ~39,000 Cover done by @/adrian.dsgns on Instagram
