365 Rules of Temptations
365 RULES OF TEMPTATIONS
One night. One failed mission. One contract that changed everything.
Sa desperasyon na mailigtas ang naluluging Astoria Group, handang gawin ni Genesis Astoria ang lahat—kahit ang magnakaw ng isang dokumentong sa tingin niya ay makapagliligtas sa kanilang kumpanya.
Pero nahuli siya.
Hindi siya ipinakulong ng billionaire na si Aamon Monteverde.
Instead, binigyan siya nito ng isang kontrata.
365 rules. One year. Absolute obedience.
Mula sa pagiging heiress, naging personal maid siya ng lalaking pinakaayaw niyang lapitan.
Ang akala niya, simpleng kapalit lang iyon ng tulong na kailangan ng pamilya niya.
Hindi niya alam na bawat araw na lumilipas, mas lalo siyang nababaon sa mga sikreto ng pamilya Monteverde... at sa lalaking unti-unting winawasak ang pader sa paligid ng puso niya.
Pero paano kung isang araw malaman niyang may katotohanang matagal nang itinago sa kaniya?
A truth that could have saved her family from the very beginning.
Sa mundong puno ng kasinungalingan, kapangyarihan, at tukso...
Hanggang saan ang kaya mong isakripisyo para sa pagmamahal?
At kapag natapos ang 365 Rules, sila ba ang pipili sa isa't isa... o sa mga lihim na sisira sa kanilang dalawa?

Chapter: CHAPTER 12. PROPOSALChapter 12AAMON’S POVAs the sun meets the night, all of the maids are now sweating of walking every corner in the house. We just got the news from the main that Mom, Dad, and Grandma—my father’s mother—and some of our relatives will be visiting the mansion tonight. That’s why Ara commands the crew to prepare the mansion as we will be also having visitors. Bumaba ako mula sa ikatlong palapag habang ang mga kamay ay nakabulsa sa aking pants. Yet every trace I walk, it reminded me the days where I almost lost myself. These past few days were rough, still trying to focus on apologizing to her. But I realized that how will the Monteverde even works without me?That’s why with no choice, I stuck myself in my office—here in the mansion—analyzing papers and documents while still contacting some of the investigators I hired to help the Astoria regain it’s ruined legacy. Pagbaba ko sa first floor, sakto naman ang pagbukas ng pintuan. It was my twin who entered the mansion. Nakita ko ang bah

Chapter: CHAPTER 11. UNEXPECTED VISITORChapter 11Nang makalabas ang dalawang garapata ay umupo ako sa aking swivel chair at napahawak sa sentido. Sakto naman ang pagdating ni Vanessa at nakita ang nagkalat na kape sa aking desk at sa floor.”Ma’am, what happened?” agaran niyang tanong. Umiling naman ako tsaka umayos ng upo, still my enraging blood is boiling. Napakalakas ng loob na hamunin ako sa sarili kong kumpanya. Really? “Nothing, just call the utilities to clean it,” sabi ko naman at pinatong ang kamay sa mga dokumentong nasa hapag ng desk. Naramdaman ko naman ang pagtango niya at paglayo ng kaniyang padyak. “Ah, Vanessa…” muli kong tawag. “Yes ma’am?” Tinuro ko naman ang cup na nasa desk ko. “Pagtimpla mo ulit ako ng kape. May mga garapata kasing nakapasok…” banas ko. “Sure ma’am…” saad naman niya tsaka kinuha ang baso at umalis na. Napatingin naman ako at the area where my coffee splashes. Dinamay pa ako sa mga kabulastugan nila. Ayan tuloy, nadumihan pa ang office ko. Ilang minuto ang nakalipas ay dumatin

Chapter: CHAPTER 10. OFFICEWRECKERSChapter 10AAMON’S POV”She didn’t accept the gift…” that was the first statement I received when Ara arrived at home. Yeah, how can she really accept it? I deceived her. And I know she’s not that petty enough to forgive me just because we helped them this time. Yeah, I used her… But somehow, it was just I wanted to be with her, but I guess that wouldn’t work, really. Blanko ang mukha kong tumango kay Ara, wala ng dahilan upang tanungin pa. I knew Genesis won’t forgive me. So, if I was just given a chance to redo the past, I wouldn’t dare giving her that kind of treatment.Ara proceeded to her room after she informed me about what happened in the meeting. Even though she didn’t accept the gift, at least, her company is no longer collapsing. Nagtungo ako agad sa office upang magpahinga. It’s been a day since I last see her, kung kailan I have the chance to be with her, tsaka pa siya mawawala. Because of my stupidness. “Saluhan mo ako, Elias…” aya ko sa aking assistant at pinaupo s

Chapter: CHAPTER 9. CEO GENESISChapter 9GENESIS’ POVTahimik akong nakaupo sa aking swivel chair. It’s been days since I last came and visit my company. It was the day before I planned to steal the documents at Monteverde’s empire, who eventually failed. I sighed as I recalled the wasted two days trying to look for my company’s collapsing status. At ano ang napala ko? Instead of me attaining the shares from Aamon, I got nothing, absolutely nothing. And for much worse, I sacrificed everthing. I did everything that I can. Nagngingitngit ang mga ngipin kong binasa ang mga records ng company as of the moment, I just got a report from my secretary that the news, Aloha Inc. trying to have a deal with us is a trap. Ara’s right. And now that I know who is the one who conspired para i-sabotage ang bawat operasyon, needs to learn his lesson. I called Vanessa to request a board meeting with the investors and the board. We still have time to minimize our resources fo

Chapter: CHAPTER 8. BETRAYEDChapter 8GENESIS’ POV”Gen…” hingal na lapit sa akin ni Ara, her voice is trembling as if pulling me was her biggest regret. “Ara, umamin ka nga?! What do you mean just now?” I said, my voice broke. My hands are trembling not because of the slap to Aya but the way Ara pulled me over. Daughter-in-law. Iyan ang paulit-ulit na nagrereplay sa aking isip. “Gen, please listen to me. I just used the last card so that mom won’t hurt you.” She explained—as if she thought explaining would make things get better. ”And actually… a way for Aya to stop her delusions…” “No, Ara. You know that I’m not that dumb enough to trust you with that. Last resort? When did I ever agree to being Aamon’s wife?” I exclaimed as I distanced myself from Ara—nakahawak sa sentido.”Hah? Speak up Ara!” I shouted, enough for everyone to hear. Wala akong pakialam kung magsitakbuhan pa ang mga guwardiya sibil nila to enter her room. Because I want a f*cking answer! I want clarity!I saw how her gaze swifted to mid-ai

Chapter: CHAPTER 7. THREAT 2Chapter 7 Genesis’ POV Nang dahil sa hindi ko napagtagumpayang nakawin ang dokumento sa office ni Aamon ay napilitan akong isakripisyo ang aking sarili sa kaniya. Hindi ko alam, dahil sa tuwing nagtatama ang mga mata namin ay may kaakibat na kuryente ang dumadaloy sa aking sistema. Na iniiwasan ko. Dapat galit ako. Dapat naiinis ako. Ngunit nasaan ang palaban kong awra? Nawawala na ang aking tunay na sarili dahil sa pagliligtas sa aming kompanya. Oo, mababaw. Ngunit ayaw kong masayang ang ilang taon kong pinaghirapang ipagtanggol at ipaglaban sa lahat ng larangan. Tahimik akong nakasakay sa kotse ni Ara, pagkatapos nilang mag-usap na magkapatid ay nauna na kaming lumabas, uuwi na raw kami dahil wala naman na raw gagawin ito sa opisina. “Ang tahimik mo Gen. I’m not very used to this.” Mahinang sambit ni Ara, sapat upang marinig ko. Paano ako kikibo sa kaniya? Paano ko sasabihin ang mga nasa utak ko? Malilinis ba niyan ang nawawala kong ulirat sa sarili? ”May iniisip lang

Chapter: CHAPTER 5Chapter 5. HomewreckersThe dinner went well—or so I supposed. I was finally able to get to know the other staff working in the house.Aside from Nhea and Ansel, there was Lila, one of the maids, Ester who served as the head cook, Justin, Susan, and Karla. Most of them looked like they were in their early twenties, except for Ansel and Ester who were probably in their early thirties and forties respectively.“How’s the food, ma’am?” Ansel asked while I continued savoring the dishes laid out in front of me.I glanced at the dining table and almost laughed. There was enough food to feed an entire family reunion. Various dishes occupied almost every corner of the table, and although I wanted to pretend that I wasn't impressed, I would be lying if I said they weren't delicious.“Great. Join me, Ansel,” I offered, gesturing toward the empty seats around me.The moment the words left my mouth, everyone suddenly became busy with whatever they were doing. Justin fixed the plates.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4Chapter 4. Home Away From HomeFinally, after what felt like fifty years of looking for Ansel in that law complex whatsoever, I could already see my family's—well, technically my dad's—residential house.Ansel had been explaining things during the drive, talking about the property, the staff, and some things I honestly wasn't paying attention to. I just nodded whenever he looked at me, pretending I understood every word he said. After all the walking, waiting, and searching we did earlier, I wasn't exactly in the mood for a conversation.As we continued driving, I found myself staring outside the window. Tall trees lined both sides of the road, standing neatly as if they were part of some grand parade welcoming us home. The breeze occasionally slipped through the slightly opened window, brushing against my face and carrying the scent of fresh grass and soil. I never expected a place like this to exist. Everything looked so green, peaceful, and annoyingly refreshing.For a second, I al

Chapter: CHAPTER 3CHAPTER 3. DEFINE 'BUTLER'Stepping into a different country was never part of my life plan. It was never an option, never a goal, and definitely never included in my bucket list. Yet here I am, standing in the middle of a foreign airport with a suitcase in one hand and a ruined future in the other.I walked past the airport lobby, roaming my eyes around while searching for the exit. People were everywhere—families reuniting, tourists dragging oversized luggage, airport staff rushing from one place to another. Meanwhile, I was here looking like a woman who had just been exiled by her own father.“Hey!”I stopped walking and glanced behind me.Marco.Again.How I wish I would never meet him again.Then again, maybe fate was bored today.“Yes?” I asked, watching him jog toward me.Up close, he was annoyingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and carrying that casual confidence that made me want to roll my eyes.“Uh...” He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “We've been talking for ho

Chapter: CHAPTER 2Chapter 2. Bad FlightI entered the plane—still glaring at absolutely nothing. I was mad. So mad at dad, mom, and practically everyone. They just ruined my peaceful and enjoyable life. One day I was comfortably existing in the US, minding my own business, and the next thing I knew, I was being shipped off to the Philippines like some kind of parcel with an arranged fiancé waiting at the destination.I've been thinking if it's still possible to go back and cancel this flight. Or maybe jump off the plane with a parachute, of course. I'm not planning to die yet. I still haven't attended enough concerts to leave this world.But nevertheless, I am here. Sitting inside this giant flying metal tube for nine whole hours. Nine. Hours. I could've been at home listening to Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild while judging people online, but no. Life decided to become creative.The journey wasn't what I expected either. I thought Business Class meant peace, silence, and expensive comfort. Apparently, it

Chapter: CHAPTER 1Chapter 1. AriaAria's POVI don't know where to start this story. Maybe upward or downward? Just kidding.All my life, I've been grounded in my own emotions and weirdness. Some people judge me because of how I behave and how I act as a woman. Sometimes, I wear gowns out of nowhere, and sometimes, I wear tattoos and gothic-themed shirts. It's not that I'm crazy. It's just how I express my mood.“Aria, what has gotten into your head? Why are you wearing a pink dress in the middle of winter?!” a loud voice echoed through the hallways.My overreacting mother.“Mom, you know pink is my favorite color during this season, and besides...” I looked her up and down. “Who's freezing between us? Is it you?” I asked sarcastically.She scoffed as if what I said had just ended the world.“You're really an impossible brat, Aria!”“Always been,” I answered gracefully.I've always had what people would call a weird personality. Most of my colleagues think I'm unpredictable, uneven, and honestly a litt

Seduced By My Brother-in-law
Tagos sa kasalanan. Lunod sa tukso.
Trixie Manalastas thought she had it all figured out—loyal assistant by day, quiet and composed by night. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang mapilitan siyang tumira sa iisang bubong kasama ng lalaking bawal niyang pagnasaan—ang brother-in-law niyang si Lance Dominic "Dom" Arriola.
Tall, brooding, at laging naka-sando na parang kasalanan ang bawat muscle, si Dominic ang tipo ng lalaking tinitingnan mo lang dapat… pero hindi mo dapat hinahangaan. Lalo na’t kapatid siya ng fiancé mo.
Pero paano kung sa bawat titig niya ay may banta ng tukso? Sa bawat sulyap, parang hinuhubaran ka na? Sa bawat gabing tahimik, may mga ungol na gustong kumawala?
At paano kung isang gabing walang kuryente, sa ilalim ng init ng dilim, hindi mo na mapigilan ang sarili mo—at ang kasalanan ay hindi lang basta nangyari, kundi sinadya?
This is not your typical love story. This is a tale of temptation, guilt, and a kind of pleasure na bawal pero hindi mo maitatangging gusto mo.
Because sometimes… the one who ruins you, is the one you crave the most.

Chapter: CHAPTER 17TRIXIE'S POV"Kumusta na pala ang mission na binigay sa iyo, 002?" Narinig kong tanong ni Iñigo sa kaharap niyang si Lance."The mission was a success, and boss will give us a new mission with 004," narinig ko namang sagot niya rito. Napalingon naman sila sa aking nakaupo sa harapan nila. Lance approached me first then gave a drink. "How's your day?" He asked me. "U-uh, okay lang naman po," I answered with respect. Napayuko pa ako sa aking pagsagot bilang pagrespeto. "Don't worry, Code 004, will be here para bisitahin," aniya na ikinatango ko. Walang kaide-ideya who's code 004 is. We're at a place na hindi pamilyar sa akin.What are we doing here? Ilang minuto ang lumipas at bumukas ang pintuan at bumungad naman lahat sa amin ang isang mala-anghel na pigura. Nakasuot ito at balot halos lahat ang kaniyang mukha. That's why I cannot see her face. But I saw how her lips curved as soon as she saw us. Lumapit siya sa amin at dahan-dahang nakipagbeso kay Iñigo at Lance na para bang

Chapter: CHAPTER 16LANCE'S POVI was scared. As fuck. I was scared. But for what I think that Trixie will let me hugged her, she didn't let me even hugged her for a minute. She slapped me. "Umalis ka sa harapan ko, Lance." She firmly stated. I looked at her with my eyes giving up. The fvck is this. "Baby," I almost sobbed to her. She didn't looked at me. No baby please. Don't do this. I tried touching her face but she slammed my hands.Without looking at me, she responded. "Get put of here, I have a lot of things to do," Wala akong magawa kundi ang umalis sa kaniyang opisina. Mabigat man sa aking damdamin. But no, I won't gave up. I would rather die begging for her attention basta huwag lang niya akong kalimutan. As I get out from her office, sakto naman ang pagdating ni Regina sa kaniyang semi-office beside Trixie. Wala akong sinayang na oras at tinawag siya. "Regina," she looked at me, with disbelief. "W-what are you doing here?" She asked. I put my right hand on my pocket and cleared my t

Chapter: CHAPTER 15THIRD PERSON POV"Do you, Alessandra Therese Manalastas take, Lance Dominick Arriola as your lawful husband, for love and hate, with fidelity and love, respect, and heartfelt consciousness?" "I do father," the bride nodded. Lumiko naman ang pari sa kaniyang kanan para tingnan ang groom. "Do you, Lance Dominick Arriola take, Alessandra Therese Manalastas as your lawful wife—""I do father," the man in tuxedo cut off the father. Pagkatapos nito ay ang pagngiti ng padre at napailing. In his mind, the man is really rushy to be wedded already. "With the power bestowed to me, I now proclaim, Lance and Alessandra as husband and wife," the father said. Nagpalakpakan naman ang mga nanonood dahil dito. Masaya ang lahat. Lalo na ng sabihin ng pari ang katagang,"You may kiss your bride." As the two individual stares at each other, not minding the crazy audience who are shouting 'kiss, kiss, kiss', they kissed passionately, reminiscing the moment as they seal the marriage and the blessing

Chapter: CHAPTER 14"I like you, Trixie! I fucking like you!" Lance's voice still echoes in my mind. Ilang araw na rin simula ng magconfess siya sa akin at hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakaalis sa restaurant noon. I'm confused and fuck, as well..."Ma'am, your coffee," I heard Regina called me out.Though I have a dispenser in my room, I still called her at inutusan siyang bilhan ako ng coffee sa labas. Napatingin naman ako sa dala niyang iced coffee, Iced Macchiato ang kaniyang binili for me. "May meeting ka pala bukas, well, technically it is a board meeting, but the admins wants to have you on board as one of the owner of the company," Regina reminded me. Tumango lang naman ako sa kaniya at kinuha ang binili niyang kape tsaka binuksan ito at uminom gamit ang straw. "You may go, I'll call you if I got something for you," tugon ko naman sa kaniya habang sinisipsip ang kape. The smell of the coffee blended with the aircon's breeze reulting for me to smell its aroma firmly. Napansin ko naman ang p

Chapter: CHAPTER 13WARNING: MATURE CONTENTNang akala kong lalabas na ako ay bigla akong napatigil dahil sa sambit ni Lance. "Stay," I looked at him, he gritted his teeth while he looked at me seductively. Just what the hell is he doing again? Bigla naman akong kinabahan at tinayuan ng balahibo ng lumapit siya sa akin. Nakasunod ang mga mata ko sa kaniya habang naglalakad ito patungo sa akin. "A-anong gagawin mo," kinakabahan kong sagot. He gently put his finger on my ear and fixed my hair. Then suddenly, every corner of his office became dark as he closes it with curtain including the table. His one hand are still on my ears, pero naramdaman ko nalang itong gumapang sa aking batok at unti-unti niyang inilapit ang kaniyang mukhang kanina pa ako pinagnanasaan. We looked each other for a while. He became more alluring these days and it's been weeks since I looked at him this intently. We may lived in one roof but I wasn't able to see him that I mostly locked myself in my room. Pagdating na pagdat

Chapter: CHAPTER 12"Good morning ma'am," bungad sa akin ni Regina pagkaraan ko sa kaniyang table sa labas ng aking opisina. "Good morning," I greeted back then proceeded to my office afterwards. Wala naman siyang naging tugon pagkatapos. Thinking there are no urgent meeting I'll attend. I placed my bag on my table and sat on the swivel chair. I opened the computer and started to check the datas and transactions we have last week. It's been two weeks since my term started here. In that two weeks, I can say that there are really a lot of job to comply with. Hindi naman naging mahirap sa akin ang mga trabaho lalo na at galing ako sa pangangalaga ni Max. Being her secretary for a while gave me the knowledge on how to operate a business. Minsan nga ay ako ang nakikimeeting sa mga clients niya noon dahil nasa bakasyon siya or she's sick—na alam kong hindi naman. Sadyang madami lang talaga ang naging trabaho kaya ang pagod na nararanasan ko kay Max noon ay parang trumiple lalo na at mas malaking sakop ng
