The world of the mafia is an unforgiving monolith forged from cold power, blinding wealth, and unyielding status. In this realm of absolute dominance, there is traditionally no room for the weak, no mercy for the soft, and survival demands a heart of stone. Yet, even within a kingdom built on fear and iron wills, a quiet truth persists: humans cannot be made entirely of flint. Beneath the armor of the most ruthless lords and syndicates, there come moments when the weight of the crown grows too heavy, proving that sometimes-just sometimes-it is not only okay to be weak and soft, but entirely necessary to survive oneself.

"How do you love someone who's running out of time?" Est is breaking a little more every day. His heart is failing quietly, beautifully, tragically - and only one year remains. He hides the truth behind gentle smiles and helps his mother in their tiny market stall, pretending he isn't dying. William, the nation's brightest idol, is dying too - just in a different way. Surrounded by millions, adored by the world, yet completely empty inside. And when destiny pull them together William sees someone who feels like peace. Est sees someone hiding pain he doesn't say out loud. Neither of them meant to fall. Neither of them planned to need someone so deeply. But while William learns how it feels to be truly loved, Est is learning how it feels to run out of time. A fragile heart. A hollow star. A love beautiful enough to hurt... and temporary enough to break. This is a story of a fragile boy, a broken idol, borrowed time, and a love that grows even when the ending is already written.

Years later, at 29, Est is a successful model with a magnetic charm that draws admirers. His boyfriend, Earn-a wealthy businessman-is jealous and paranoid, insisting Est be guarded at all times. To keep watch, Earn hires a private firm to assign Est a personal manager who doubles as a bodyguard, tasked with monitoring every move and reporting back to Earn. Est is sassy, sharp, and used to testing limits and thus bodyguards keep switching running away from him. Until fate brings William back-as Est's new bodyguard. Est feels comfort and nostalgia with William. But William isn't the same boy he once adored. Beneath William's calm, polite exterior hides a dark obsession, one that's been simmering for years. A twisted tale of love, obsession, and a pact that refuses to break. # Highest Ranking 🏅 #1 gmmtv #2 williamest #1 obsessive ⚠️ Disclaimers: Credits for pictures in the book cover goes to original owners, I do not own them.
