Anthony's body trembled the moment his eyes scanned the reward.
It defied belief.
No—
It transcended possibility.
That which he had long desired.
That which he had relentlessly pursued.
That which he had yearned for with every fiber of his being.
He couldn't believe it.
In his previous life, he had remained a virgin, never once having experienced the warmth of a lover.
Not once had he held a girlfriend.
There were women he had admired, fleeting crushes that stirred within him, yet he never dared to act, never summoned the courage to confess.
Time had never been on his side, consumed as he was by the relentless demands of work.
Nor had he possessed the financial means, he had barely scraped by on his own, let alone shouldering the burden of another.
And even if fate had been kinder in those aspects, he lacked the looks that would have granted him an advantage.
But now?
Now, he surpassed every requirement, and even had more.
Face? Flawless.
