The Bitter Beginning
Genre: BL / Contemporary Romance-Drama Author: TereAem0
What would you do if your life changed overnight?
Gulf's world didn't just crumble; it shattered. When his father's business collapsed, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt, despair was the only thing left. But at the edge of the abyss, a stranger named Kao stepped in.
Kao didn't just save Gulf's father; he fell in love with Gulf the moment their eyes met. He offered a lifeline: he would wipe away the debt and revive the business, but he wanted one thing in return. He wanted Gulf as his husband.
To save his family, Gulf sacrificed his youth and his happiness, entering a marriage fueled by resentment. He treated Kao with ice-cold silence, pushing him away at every turn. But Kao stayed, enduring the pain in the hopes that one day, Gulf might look at him with love.
Then came the betrayal.
The moment Kao walked into their bedroom to find Gulf with someone else, the light in his eyes finally went out. He asked for a divorce, but the law demanded one final test: six months of living together. Now, as Kao's first love returns to claim him, the roles have reversed. Kao is counting down the seconds until he is finally free. But for the first time, Gulf realizes he has truly, deeply fallen in love with the man he once despised.
The clock is ticking. Will Gulf win Kao's heart back before the six months end... or is the "Bitter Beginning" destined to be their final end?
