[ ᴜɴʀᴇǫᴜɪᴛᴇᴅ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ]

Hazel Scarlet could do much better in life than to gawk and fawn over her handsome, dashing and charming company's CEO, her only confidante and anchor in life - Heath Evercrest; yet the best she decided to go for was to settle to be his friend. 

And the worse she decided to go for was to help him win over the hand of her very own sister in marriage.

The odds couldn't have been more odder since the task was no more herculean than moving the Hercules itself; if only her boss would stop staring at her eyes every once in a while, if only his touch would stop making her feel as if she was actually the woman he chose as his bride, if their moments alone would stop making her hope as if she was the only woman to ever exist who could pull him out of his never ending agony. 

As if seeing him struggle for his feelings for Kiara was not hard enough, Heath was making it even more harder for Hazel to forget about the fact that she was not the one for him by making his constant demands of gruelling attention to the details of the preparation of his wooing measures for her sister. 

In the midst of melting chocolates, broken hearts, failed balloons, too realistic practise proposals and even more realistic acts of intimacy, would it take Heath a whirl of chaos to realise which sister he actually lost his heart to, or it was as simple as one act of heated argument to realise his secretary is not the friend he had been talking to for years, but a swirling mess of women, heat, graceful beauty and everything he had been searching for in the wrong place all this time? 

Hop on to find out the real Murphy's Law of Love in this Love Triangle of life, love and ... heartbreaks.

She buried her face on the side of his chest, inhaling his cologne. "Are you sure?" Ambryan asked, genuinely concerned now. He held her chin and raised it. His violet eyes met her hazel ones. The blush on her cheeks had magnified in saturation. He couldn't tell anymore if it came from embarrassment or the alcohol. Either way, it intrigued him on how much redder she could possibly be. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I'd be gentle this time." ============== Eve faced the most difficult decision in her life when an opportunity landed on her desk. And that is?

He had one mission. Something he had struggled for his entire life. Something that he was so determined to do, he once believed there nothing that could stand in his way. He should have known better. Nothing that you long desperately enough for comes without a price. But what price do you have to pay when you start to spend a little too much time around the one you were born to despise. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I don't have anything to bribe you with, only my own words. Tell me, how will you ever be free if you do not take a risk every once in a while?" "I take risks." "You may take risks that give you freedom from your life, but I have a feeling this risk is a little different on many levels, correct me if I'm wrong." I began to think, did one single day really matter? Maybe it would help, maybe it was all I needed to stop thinking about him. "Make the most of it as it will both the first and the last time you are taking me to lunch, let alone ever seeing me again."
