Revolt by Reed-ink

Anjola Adeite is an extremely logical person in all her dealings, even in matters notorious for emotional entanglement clauses. Although a bit of a wallflower on the relationship turf, she has a well defined criteria for choosing romantic partners with healthy traits-that wouldn't derail her rational path. Lekan Keye is the quintessential playboy. All about the sensual uncensored pleasures, never about the commitment and devotion. As an atheist of relationships, he believes the price of commitment is too costly and so indulges in temporal, sexual arrangements. After the planning of a crucial event, forced them into close proximity and triggers a forbidden attraction, they find themselves at an impasse. For Anjola, it's the fact that she's never had feelings for a wild person like Lekan-who on the other hand, seeks the reason why his pull to Anjola isn't singularly borne out of lust. When they conduct an experiment to test their compatibility however, they both rely on the proven principle that posits that-a change of character is possible for Lekan, as long as there is enough fuel driving driving him. Fuel they wrongly assume, to be love.
