Independent, no-nonsense, insolent-those are the words that best describe Elio Rivera. Living on his own has contributed to his toughened personality. Working as a waiter to support himself, he has learned to be tough and unyielding at such a young age.
After ruining an expensive painting in an art exhibit, Elio finds himself between a humongous debt and a lifeless, detached painter-Skyler Alba. Left with no choice, Elio agrees to live in servitude to the painter as a way of repaying his mountain of debt.
Join Elio and Skyler as their personalities clash like water and oil in this newest romance story by theashtone. As their story develops, Elio and Skyler will soon learn that they might just be the perfect people for each other who met at the best possible time.
Question is, are they brave enough to let go of their past? Or are they just going to commit the same mistakes for the second time around?

However, does he not want to love because of that reason or has he been in love all this time? Disclaimer: This story was/will be written originally by the author (Sai which is me). Note: This story has a hint of my life, so it can also be an anecdote of the light and angst inside of me.
