Rule #1 of Revenge Club: Don't fall for your target
Andrew
I’ve come a long way since being the gawky, geeky, gay kid who was constantly picked on growing up. Having just sold my tech start-up for so much money it broke my phone calculator, I’m now at loose ends, wondering what to do next in my life.

And do you want to know the kicker? He doesn’t even recognize me.
Even worse, it looks like karma hasn’t done its thing because Justin definitely hasn't been punished for his previous sins.
Maybe my next mission in life is to give karma a helping hand…

And the more I get to know Drew, the more I want to confess my secret in the hope we can become something more.
But I can’t help the niggling feeling Drew is hiding something from me…
