Men of Crown 13 | R-18 • Mature | COMPLETED With the tragedy of almost losing his sister right before his eyes when he was young, Lucius shoulders the burden of making sure his sister will never again be in danger. In doing so, he ensured everyone who got close to his sister was scrutinized. May it be a family or a total stranger- even the things she receives. No one and nothing has come through his decisive way of protecting her. But everything started to crumble when he let a woman into his sister's life. He knew his decision could result in chaos. Nonetheless, he let her in, not only into his sister's life but into his. They started to gamble with each other's emotions because they were both dared and challenged to prove their confidence. A gamble that turns into something special... even jovial... Something he could live every day- with her beside him. That's what he thought and imagined every time he was with her. However, he never imagined his life would turn dark, and living would be hard when the end of the love he thought was real ended up being a sham. ⚠️ This is a Filipino-English story.
