Mag-log in“Mahal kita… kaya kita itatago sa mundo.” China Asuncion was just looking for a stable job—hindi fairy tale, lalo na hindi lalaki. Pero ang universe may ibang plano. Ang mapaglarong tadhana dinala siya kay Gabriel Buenavista. CEO. Cold-blooded billionaire. Dangerous. And absolutely off-limits. He gave her one rule: Don’t fall in love. But how do you follow that when the devil in a suit suddenly makes you his secret wife? Ngayon, kasal siya sa lalaking hindi puwedeng aminin sa mundo. A ghost bride. A hidden queen. Pero may mga matang nakamasid. Isang larawan ang lumabas—at isang banta ang dumating na kailangan nilang harapin. “Put her back where she belongs… or we will.” As enemies close in, secrets from Gabriel’s past start to resurface—dark, bloody, and lethal. China must decide: is love worth dying for? In a world built on lies, wealth, and power, ang pinaka-delikado palang sandata… ay ang pusong umiibig. Kakayanin bang harapin ng mga puso nila ang mga panganib at bantamg pabugsong sumasalakay sa kanila? But just when they thought they could escape— China vanishes. Nakakawindang.Biglaan. No note. No warning. Just blood on her wedding ring... And a message carved on Gabriel’s penthouse mirror: “You should’ve kept her hidden.”

Chapter one (1)A dream after allI was so bored,so I decided to walk to the school garden, so ,I could receive some fresh air .And maybe ,I would see something ,that will keep me busy ,as I had no friend not to talk of friends.Sometimes ,I just get tired of my boring life maybe I was curse because what else would make people hate me ,so much to the extent of not talking to me but some other times I realize something “no one wants to befriend an ugly bitch like me “you see I even hate myselfArghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!I got to the school garden and met people in pairs discussing ,some laughing I guess to some jokes only known to them .so I retreated my steps back ,because the atmosphere I saw ,wasn’t what I expected.I was expecting to see a quiet garden or just the noise ,from, the chirping birds not human noise .At least, singing along the chirping bird would help the boredom.I stumbled on something or……….So I thought but no it was someone.closing my eyes ,expecting to fall,but I didn’t instead I felt a strong arms pulling me close .curious to know ,who didn’t freak out due to my ugliness, I opened my eyes and saw him.THE MASK GUY that doesn’t associate himself with anyone.he likes been alone just like me but the difference is that he hates people associating with him he usually shun them to stay away from him but me ,no one wants to come close to where I am .sad right but am used to it anyways .He was the one, holding me ,from fallingI was Surprise ,by his kindness and Struck by his dazzling cuteness even without seeing his full face that I kept staring at him maybe to steal some cuteness for my self.how could the creator bless a man with so much cuteness yet give me who happens to be a girl ,this ugly face .really, I thought girls were cuter than boys but today I found out that ,that was a big fat lieI was so lost staring at him ,until his deep masculine voice jotted me back to reality.“Are you okay “he asked in the most caring voice“Ermmmmmmmm……….y..e…ah “I stammered getting hold of my selfHe helped me stand to my feet and went his way .After he left,I turn to see some crowd of students staring at me with surprise written on their faces well who wouldn’t be surprised seeing beauty and the beast together but in a different dimension the boy the beauty while the girl the beast lolI didn’t realize they have been watching“Did he just held her ““Aww he hasn’t even touched a guy like me but touched that ugly girl wow just wow ““It was a mistake didn’t you see it ?that guy couldn’t have done it on purpose he hasn’t hold a beautiful girl like me on purpose is it that ugly jerk he will hold purposely?Such an ugly bitch “I heard students whispering as I walk out of the garden well it’s their mouth they can say whatever they feel like I don’t give a damnArhhhhhhhhhhhhhI screamed in annoyance due to the continuous buzzing of the alarm .I stretched my hand and switch it off .I felt so tired that I keptStretching my body, to relieve stress .i keep tossing around until I fell and landed on the hard floor“What the fuck I was in school a moment a go what am I doing at home or …… was it a dream ?“I asked my self getting annoyed I thought the mask guy ,soft and masculine arms, was wrapped around me .well just that thought alone made my lip curve in a sweet smileBut I kept wondering, how it will feel ,being in his arms as I drag my self up from the floorI look up at the wall and my eyes caught the time on the wall clock what !it was 6:43 its almostSeven am going to be late to school.I quickly dragged my self into the bathroomOhhh what’s all this I forgot my towel I had to run back to my room to take it from my wardrobe.After a rushed bath ,I brushed and searched for cloth to wearAfter selecting different cloths,I finally settled for a pink gown and a black pair of sandals .I tied my hair into a ponytail , applied a little makeup and lipgloss because I can’t do without makeup took my bag and ran to the mirror to look at my appearance.Satisfied,I dashed out of my room into the sitting room .I saw my mum setting the table for breakfast at the dinning .“Good morning mum”I greeted kissing her cheek“Good morning darling hope you had a good night rest “she asked caressing my palm“Yeah “I nodded and sat down to eat breakfast.Breakfast was toasted bread,with scrumbled egg and tea .I quickly ate ,kiss my mum and ran out to catch a bus to school .Luckily for me I saw a bus earlier than usual I guess heaven is on my side today because normally I stand close to thirty minutes or more than, before seeing a bus .I stopped the bus then sat at the back seat breathing hard due to the running.Well now,let me introduce myself.My names are “Cassandra Justine “am 17 still schooling erm……I stay with my mum,my dad is late and am very ugly don’t even have the imagination of a beautiful girl when you hear the name “CASSANDRA “.hey don’t get me wrong every other Cassandra might be beautiful but am not .I have a crush on this new guy in my class whose name is Fredrick and he is always on mask am kind of always dreaming about him I guess it’s because he is always the only one I think about before going to bed .there is a saying that whatever you have in mind before sleeping you are likely going to dream about it .“Hey miss are these not your school mates?”A young woman asked tapping me“Oh my! Yes they areThank you ma” I said rushing down to my school “The royals “ I almost passed my school due to my introduction to you .Now I won’t be the one talking let someone continue from where I stopped .Cassandra ran to her first class .Getting there, lesson have started .“Good morning ma “Cassandra greeted her English teacher miss Sarah going to an empty seat at the back of the class to sit.“Good morning Cassy why are you late to my class “miss Sarah asked“Erm………I …… “ Cassy stammered“Can’t you talk again “miss Sarah asked angrily“I guess her ugliness has gotten to her brain and also tied her tongue “Mandy one of the school’s prettiest saidMaking the whole class burst into a provocative laughter .Well don’t be surprise that’s how Mandy is she is always attacking Cassandra.Cassandra have never had a misunderstanding with her but she just hates Cassy because she is ugly“Enough all of you be quiet “miss sarah shouted making everyone put on a serious faceThe class was so quiet that if a pin drops , it will be heard“Now Cassy go look for somewhere to sit “miss sarah commanded before turning around to continue her teaching .Cassy walked to an empty seat She sighted before .But as she was about to sit,Laura place her bag there“It’s been taken “she said nonchalantly before facing the teacher as if nothing happened .Laura and Mandy are best friends and they happens to be among the school prettiest making them have fling of friends .“Hey come over “a girl who Cassy was seeing in the class for the first time signaled her to an empty seat close to hers .“Thank you”Cassy said sitting down“You are welcome “she said jotting down something from what miss Sarah was teaching .Hindi ko inakalang mararamdaman ko ulit ‘yung ganitong klaseng kabog ng puso — hindi dahil sa takot, kundi dahil sa sobrang pagmamahal.Ang unang kasal namin ni Gabriel ay engrande, puno ng kamera, investor guests, at mga ngiti na pilit.Pero ngayong gabi, habang nakatayo ako sa harap ng salamin sa maliit na villa overlooking the sea sa Batanes, naiiyak ako.Hindi dahil sa takot, kundi dahil sa totoong kaligayahan.Simple lang ang suot ko — isang satin gown na gawa ng local designer, may bahagyang beadwork sa laylayan.Walang corona, walang malaking veil.Ang tanging suot ko lang ay ang necklace na ibinigay niya sa akin — “not a promise of perfection, but permanence.”Tama siya. Ang tunay na pagmamahal, hindi kailangang perfect. Kailangan lang totoo.“Ma?” boses ni Gideon mula sa pinto.“Yes, baby?” sagot ko, pinapahid ang luha sa mata.“Papa’s so nervous,” bulong niya, ngumiti ng pilyo. “He keeps fixing his tie even if it’s already perfect.”Napangiti ako. “Talaga ba? That means he w
The Proposal Plan POV: GabrielHindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimula ang ganitong tahimik na pagnanais — ‘yung tipong kahit natapos na ang lahat ng laban, may isa pa akong gustong patunayan.Hindi sa mundo.Hindi sa mga shareholders.Kundi sa kanya.Kay China.Matagal ko nang sinabing “I love you.”Pero hindi ko pa nasasabi nang buo kung gaano.Hindi lang bilang asawa, o partner sa negosyo, o ina ng anak ko.Kundi bilang babaeng pinili kong mahalin kahit paulit-ulit akong nasaktan bago ko siya nakuha ulit.“Gab, bakit parang tahimik ka lately?” tanong ni China, habang nagkakape kami sa balcony.Suot niya ‘yung white satin robe na regalo ko noong anniversary namin.Ang ganda niya kahit walang makeup.May ngiti, may grace — at may lakas ng loob na parang walang sinumang makakapagpabagsak sa kanya ulit.Napangiti ako. “Siguro kasi ngayon lang ako nakaramdam ng peace, Chin.”She tilted her head. “Peace? Or fear?”Natawa ako nang mahina. “Both. Kasi minsan, when everything’s quiet, natatakot
POV: Gabriel The first thing I noticed nung nagising ako — walang alert sa phone, walang urgent email, wala kahit isang press release na naglalabas ng scandal.Tahimik lang. At kahit ganun, mas malakas ang tibok ng puso ko kaysa sa kahit anong corporate presentation sa boardroom.Nakaidlip si China sa tabi ko, ang buhok niya medyo magulo, pero mukhang nakarelax — para siyang painting na ginawa para sa akin lang.Nahulog ako sa konting katahimikan, nakatingin sa kanya, at napansin ang maliliit na detalye: ang pilik ng mata niya habang humihinga, ang paraan ng pagkurba ng mga labi niya, ang init ng kamay niya na nakalapat sa braso ko.Sa gitna ng lahat ng iyon, naramdaman ko — para sa unang beses, wala na akong dapat ipaglaban.The battles, the betrayals, the enemies… lahat ng iyon, naiwan sa likod.Ngayon, ang labanan ko lang ay mapanatili ang babae sa tabi ko, at ang batang ito — si Gideon, na tahimik pero matalino sa lahat ng nangyayari sa paligid niya.Nag-mulat siya ng mata, tinin
Empire of Hearts(POV: China)The first sound that broke the silence was the soft pop of champagne. The second—Gabriel’s low, sinful chuckle as he leaned closer and whispered, “To us. To everything they tried to destroy… but failed.”Ang lamig ng bote sa kamay ko, pero mas mainit ang titig niya. Ang bawat galaw ni Gabriel ay may halong pangako—hindi lang ng tagumpay, kundi ng pag-ibig na hindi kailanman kayang bilhin o sirain ng kahit sinong kalaban.“Para sa atin,” bulong ko, sabay sabay ng clink ng baso namin.For the first time in years, walang nakabantay na camera, walang sekretong kailangan itago. Just us—two broken souls who built an empire out of ashes.Pero kahit sa gitna ng victory celebration, ramdam ko pa rin ang lamig ng mundo sa labas. The courtroom scenes, the faces of those who betrayed us—lahat ng iyon ay parang mga aninong nakatambay sa likod ng liwanag.“Do you ever think,” tanong ko, habang nakatingin kami sa city lights, “na baka too much na ‘tong fight natin? Na
POV: Gabriel Tahimik ang lungsod sa unang pagkakataon.Walang flashing lights, walang headline scandals, walang boses ng mga reporter na sumisigaw ng “Buenavista lScandal” o “Corporate War.”Tahimik lang. At sa kakaibang katahimikang ‘yon, doon ko lang naramdaman — tapos na talaga ang laban.Pero minsan, mas nakakatakot pala ang katahimikan.Kasi ‘pag wala ka nang pinaglalaban, mas maririnig mo ang boses ng sarili mong puso.I woke up earlier than usual.Beside me, the bed was empty — pero mainit pa ang kumot sa gilid.Typical China. Hindi niya sinasabi, pero lagi siyang bumabangon ng maaga, para maghanda ng gatas ni Gideon o magbasa ng report kahit weekend.Narinig ko ang maliliit na tawanan mula sa kusina.Pagbaba ko, bumungad agad ang eksenang gusto kong makita araw-araw.Si Gideon, nakasabit sa apron ng mommy niya, hawak ang whisk na parang espada.At si China… naka-oversized shirt lang, buhok niya magulo, pero para sa’kin, parang siya ang pinakamagandang bagay na ginawa ng umaga
(China’s POV)Tahimik ang buong opisina.For the first time in a long while, walang tensyon, walang sigawan, walang binabantayang leak o paparazzi sa labas ng pinto.Just silence — peaceful, grounding, almost foreign.Nakaupo ako sa desk na minsang naging battlefield. The same desk where I once slammed my hands out of frustration, where Gabriel and I argued over loyalty, power, and trust.Ngayon, may vase of white tulips sa ibabaw nito — regalo ni Gabriel ngayong umaga. May maliit na note pa sa ilalim:>“To my storm, who became my calm.”– G.B.Napangiti ako, ramdam ko pa rin ang kirot at saya na magkasabay. Kasi minsan, the calm hurts more — dahil doon mo marerealize kung gaano ka napagod.Narinig ko ang tunog ng pinto.Paglingon ko, he was there — Gabriel, nakatanggal ang necktie, naka-roll up ang sleeves, the man who used to wear his pride like armor. Pero ngayon, iba na siya.Mas malambot ang tingin, mas totoo ang ngiti.“Hey,” sabi niya, approaching slowly, para bang ayaw masira
