Play (not) by the rules
About the book
I accidentally stumbled upon a secret club whose members perform various strange tasks in exchange for money. Then, while looking for a job, I came to an interview and realized that my new boss and I already knew each other... “Good afternoon,” I opened the door and looked at the man sitting at the table. “I'm here for an interview...” But the words stuck in my throat, and I just blinked because I recognized him. No, I didn't know his face. But the sharp line of his chin and the mole near the right corner of his mouth — I had time to examine them closely... I thought about turning around and running out of the office, but for some reason I continued to stand in the doorway and stare at him. “Stand there, mouse,” I heard his commanding tone. “I recognized you... Come here. Let's talk...”

svetlana16.04.2025, 02:15Thank you for the interesting book! I'm happy for Roma and Mira that true love has triumphed. I don't understand Sofia, especially her attempt to hold onto Roma with a child that isn't even his. This isn't love..... Inspiration for new stories
olga-voicuk28.12.2024, 22:03Why did I pay yesterday, on 27.12.2024, for the opportunity to continue reading the book, but today I can't read further? They are demanding payment again to continue reading the chapters of this book. It is unacceptable to charge double for reading. I am very outraged.
mariana-dolia28.12.2024, 22:48Olha Voichuk, Good evening, perhaps this is some kind of technical error on the site. Try restarting the app; sometimes it "lags." If that doesn't help, write to technical support (the form is at the bottom of the main page of the site), and they will definitely assist you. You don't need to pay again!
elena-sylka30.08.2024, 09:49Good afternoon! I don't understand, my book ended with the marriage of Roman and Sofia, and Mira received a message that he won't come to her((((
mariana-dolia21.10.2024, 15:54Iryna Bilyk, Good0070Good afternoon! There are only 38 chapters in total, with the last one being an epilogue from Mira. If the book does not open fully for you, please contact technical support (the form is at the bottom of the website page), they will definitely help!
halyna-shchyrba18.08.2024, 03:00I missed leaving a review, even though I finished reading a while ago) I'm glad that fate was kind to Roman and Mira! And I'm amazed at Roman's patience with Sofia. I hope she finds her happiness soon! The birth of Oleksandr Romanovych is a happy ending! ⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️

nina-dudnicenko27.07.2024, 06:45Oh!!! I'm stunned... What was she thinking, and was she ever close to Roma to imagine such a great love, to go for such deception, one could even say a crime... And Roma, in turn, behaved like a decent person, though he could have hated her... Still, I wish Sofia to meet someone worthy, so that at least her daughter can live happily and not be deprived of paternal love... Honestly... Sofia's actions are hard to comprehend... clearly, she didn't think about the consequences... But I'm glad for Roma and Mira. That's what true love means! Thank you for the beautiful story with a happy ending......♥️♥️♥️

Oh! You really delighted us with this epilogue, and the doctor's phrase about Oleksandr Romanovych wanting to leave already made my day... A very beautiful love story that can overcome anything for the sake of happiness.

Friends, the book is finished! For some time, it will be available as a fragment, and then it will go on sale.
olena-guspit26.07.2024, 09:40What was Sofia hoping for..??? That Roma would keep being clueless..??? But now he has someone to focus his attention on!!! Thanks for the update!!! )))
mariana-dolia26.07.2024, 10:12Olena Hushpyt, That's true) Thank you!
liudmila-azorskaia25.07.2024, 19:55Very sad! It's like a vicious circle. Doesn't Roman love Mira?! No, you can't fake tender feelings. But why didn't he say that the wedding was moved to an earlier date? Did he not know himself or does he not know how to say it?!
mariana-dolia25.07.2024, 22:35Lyudmyla Azorska, I think he didn't want to upset her)
