EPISODE 1
Written by remi the writer
Ken, a successful businessman, had inherited his business from his late father.
But it wasn't just his business acumen that set him apart.
Ken was beyond attractive, a man whose allure transcended the ordinary.
His fair complexion lent an air of elegance to his every move, and his physique chiseled enough to draw women like moths to a flame.
They pursued him relentlessly, not just for his looks, but also for the promise of wealth that clung to him.

"Are you indirectly referring to me as a Sc@m too?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
Ken shifted uncomfortably. "Mom," he stammered, "I don't mean you. I mean all these young girls of nowadays. They're like fireflies—flitting from one flame to another."
His mother raised an eyebrow. "Fireflies, huh? Well, perhaps you need a different kind of light in your life."
She patted his cheek, her touch both affectionate and exasperated. "Give love a chance, my dear. You might be surprised."
His mother's gaze softened. She placed a hand on his shoulder, the touch both comforting and insistent.
"You've yet to meet the one who'll prove you wrong. Love isn't a fairy tale, but it's real. It's messy, imperfect, and sometimes painful.
