Love isn't everything. It took me twenty years of my life to learn this truth. Sad enough. Growing up, they made me believe that love was the most important aspect of life. We thought that life could only have meaning if it was filled with love but no, love isn't everything. I wish someone had told me earlier how wrong they were. As you already know, this isn't your average love story.? #ilovemyflaws ◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼◼ A story by Boakye D.

Sebastian Harrison - handsome Hollywood playboy and the youngest son of Garrett Harrison - enters Leslie's life in the most unusual of ways as she is asked to turn the King of Debauchery into a man fit and trusted enough to become the CEO of Harrison Incorporated.

Now, Leslie is caught between satisfying the expectations of her job description and helping the mysterious and twisted spirit that Sebastian Harrison possesses. Regardless of what choice she makes, Leslie knows that there is more to Sebastian Harrison than she could have ever prepared herself for.
