A Deal Worth Keeping

Auryn Donotheo Isilwen is very much aware of the fact that he's gay, and he firmly believes that this is simply who he is. Afraid to face his family's disappointment, especially his Lolo Dono's. He keeps it hidden.

But it all changes one day, when news breaks that causes distress to his mother and father and eventually spreads throughout half of their family.

Fortunately for him, Auryn's grandfather is still clueless about it. Blinded by that tiny hope not to disappoint his Lolo, he makes a deal with his academic rival's friend- Rhiannon Callista Castro. The girl who will serve as his last chance, his last hope.

"Be my girl Rhia, I'll pay you for it"

Unbeknownst to him, his desperation gives a girl who secretly admires him an opportunity to be closer.

Bound by the deal they make and the roles they agreed to play, will they successfully keep up the act, or will it turn into something neither of them expected?
