❝ What you seek is seeking you.❞

Ruby took his words casually - very casually - and that marked the beginning of a lifetime experience.

***

Joseph Holden has no time for love, sympathy, and shit. Over the last thirteen years, his vision is focused on finding a girl, whom he can present as Mrs. Warner's long-lost daughter. His patience pays off well when he happens to meet Ruby; a twentysomething, disgruntled singer, who survives on a pittance.

Blinded by the urge to net thousands of dollars and desperate to break free from the clutches of Madame Tao, Ruby believes that this chance encounter will change her life completely.

Danger. Danger. Danger.

What happens when she enters the mansion and meets the most cryptic ensemble in the world; her handsome brother who couldn't stop side-eyeing her? Or, her best friend with blue eyes and golden hair who has no qualms about facing hatred-ridden refusals? For how long will the self-serious Joseph hide his outgrown feelings in the name of a master plan? More importantly, there is another story building up side by side, to which Ruby is unbeknownst and which will surely cost her dearly.
