Synopsis
Heartbroken, Kiara flies to London, where she stays for three years, rebuilding her life and creating a career in the legal world. However, when she's diagnosed with a terminal illness that is said to claim her life within three years, she decides to return home to spend the last days of her life with her family. The unexpected happens when she discovers that her house is occupied by a man named Debbie, and her patience is tested beyond reason. Debbie is a stubborn, annoying, and misogynistic person who goes about hating on every woman. Surprisingly, he finds himself unable to hate Kiara and pursues her, hoping to cure his condition. On the other hand, Kiara finds herself falling in love again, something she didn't think she was still capable of doing, given her past and her current state. She'd given up the fight, she'd come to terms with her fate, she was prepared to die. But now she wants to fight, she wants to live. "Wait, who are you?" "I should be asking the question." He backed. "I live in this house." He lived in her house. Then who was Debbie? If she was to remember, she was supposed to share the house with her. So who was this guy? "This is my house." She replied. "And all I remember is that I should be sharing it with Debbie. She just left. So who are you?"  He gave her a knowing, yet etched with mockery, smile. "Princess." He said. "Debbie is me."

Chapter 1 - Kind of A Teaser

"Hey, you... I mean, you reading this right now." Kiara's wide eyes squinted at the bright screen, watching you and smiling to herself. 

She sighed, thrilled that you are now reading a book about her.

"I wonder what you think of this book. Yes, it's a romance story. But not the kind. Like the Haters to Lovers stuff... Anyway, I'm Kiara Miracle.... Ooops, I'm not even supposed to be here.."

"Kiara, what do you think you are doing?" Beat interrupted her.

"I just want to let them know what they should and not to expect..."

"But that's not yours to do.."

"Why? I want to get more people to read." 

"You may only scare them away... You know our lives depend on the person behind that screen, and if you give them spoilers, there won't be any need for them to continue reading."

Beat snatched the phone from her. 

"Sis Beat, what do you think you are doing?" Kiara grumbled as she tried to snatch the phone back from Beat.

"Hey...It's me, Beatris. However, my sister here prefers calling me Beat. Anyway, I'm not supposed to be telling you anything...."

Kiara snatched the phone from Beat.

"Don't worry, you don't need to read on.. I'll just tell you everything you need to know."

"No, Kiara." Beat snatched the phone from her once again.

"Please don't mind her, she's just so desperate since her survivor depends on you. She's trying to get more people to read, so in her delusional thoughts, she thinks that by spilling out, more people will read."

"Of course, they will."

"No, that's not how it works. Anyway, I'm back to you, I mean you behind this screen. The progression of this story depends on you. Ingenious Jo will only continue telling the story if you read, add to collections, and comment on your thoughts. That will give him the inspiration to keep writing."

"Another important detail..." Kiara whispered.

"Kiara, don't start..."

"Don't fret, I won't spill out anything. I just want to let them know that.... what do I even want to say.. Anyway, just read on. Please save my life."

"Oh.. I've recalled what I wanted to say. Don't forget to vote. You can gift as well, it won't hurt."
