Gabi na sa Palawan. Tahimik ang paligid, maliban sa mahinang hampas ng alon sa dalampasigan at huni ng mga kuliglig. Sa veranda ng villa, may lampara sa mesa, may dalawang baso ng wine, at may dalawang pusong hindi na makapagtago.

Ainara sat on the rattan bench, legs tucked under her, a light shawl draped over her shoulders. Andres stood a few feet away, leaning on the wooden railing, staring out at the moonlit sea.

“Ang tahimik dito,” bulong ni Ainara. “Parang ibang mundo.”

“’Yan ang gusto ko sa lugar na ’to,” sagot ni Andres. “Walang ingay. Walang mata.”

She looked at him. “Walang mata?”

He turned to her, eyes unreadable. “Walang makakakita. Walang huhusga.”

Ainara’s heart skipped. She looked away, focusing on the moonlight dancing on the water.

“Kanina,” sabi ni Andres, “nang tumawa ka habang nagtatakbo tayo sa buhangin… I haven’t seen you that free in a long time.”

“Baka dahil walang asungot.” Ginaya niya ang term na ginamit nito kanina.

He chuckled. “You’re not wrong.”

Tahimik uli

  • The Sin of Loving You   The End is Only the Beginning

    The hospital room was quiet, the faint hum of machines steady as Celia stirred awake. Ainara sat beside her, her eyes swollen from sleepless nights, her heart heavy with questions that had haunted her for years.“Ma,” Ainara whispered, her voice trembling. “Tell me the truth. Who is my real father?”Celia’s eyes glistened, her hand reaching weakly for her daughter’s. “His name was Luis Ramirez,” she said softly, her voice breaking. “I met him at a bar one night. I was young, reckless, and lonely. It was only one night… but I ended up pregnant with you.”Ainara’s breath caught, her chest tightening. “Luis Ramirez…” The name felt foreign, yet it carried the weight of her identity. “I want to meet him.”Celia’s tears spilled, her voice trembling. “I’m sorry, anak. I never told you because I was ashamed. Ayaw kong maging katulad mo ako. He was poor, a bartender who worked nights to survive. I didn’t even know if he would have wanted a child. But you… you were my miracle. Hindi ko pinagsis

  • The Sin of Loving You   Broken Hearts & New Beginnings

    The hospital corridor was dim, the hum of machines echoing faintly from nearby rooms. Andres paced outside Ainara’s ward, his chest tight, his mind racing. Every second felt like an eternity until the door finally opened and the doctor stepped out, clipboard in hand. “Mr. Bernardino,” the doctor began, his tone calm but serious. “Your wife lost consciousness due to extreme stress. The last several days have taken a toll on her—Her blood pressure was high and from the looks of it, she was overwhelmed.” Tumikhim ito. “But there’s also another reason.” Andres froze, his breath caught in his throat. “Another reason?” The doctor’s eyes softened. “She’s pregnant. About seven to eight weeks.” Buntis ang asawa n’ya. Tama ang kutob niya. Ang pagsusungit nito… at pagkahilig sa pichi-pichi ng labis. Pati ‘yong sinangag na dating paborito ay ikinaliliyok na ng t’yan at nasusuka. For a moment, Andres couldn’t move. The words hung in the air, surreal, impossible. Then his chest swelled, his he

  • The Sin of Loving You   Great Personality

    The boardroom was suffocating with silence. Celia’s breathing grew shallow, her chest rising and falling in panic. Her hands trembled against the table, her eyes darting between Andres and Ainara, cornered by the truth she had fought to bury. “No…” she whispered, clutching her chest. “Hindi ko kaya.” Naiiling si Celia. “I can’t… I can’t say it…” Her voice cracked, her body convulsed. Panic surged through her veins, the weight of secrets pressing down until her strength gave way. Celia’s face drained of color, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed against her chair. “Ma!” Ainara screamed, rushing to her side. Santino leapt forward, catching her before she hit the floor. Jaime shouted for help, his voice echoing through the boardroom. Chaos erupted. Chairs scraped, papers scattered, voices rose in panic. The doors burst open as aides and guards rushed in. “Call an ambulance!” Jaime barked, his voice trembling with fear. Within minutes, Celia was lifted onto a stretcher, her body l

  • The Sin of Loving You   When Truth & Lies Collide

    "I only sold a little." Mr. Domingo muttered.Pero narinig 'yon ni Andres. He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable, but the steel in his tone cut through the room. “You sold your shares, Mr. Domingo. Not just a little — almost all of them. To me."Ponce’s face darkened, fury simmering beneath his composure. “You—” His voice cracked, his arrogance slipping. “You bought them? You bought his shares?” Tumingin si Ponce kay Mr. Domingo at kinukumpirma ang sinabi ni Andres.Mr. Domingo lowered his gaze, shame etched across his features. “I was offered three times the value, Ponce. I couldn’t say no.”Andres’ voice was calm, deliberate. “Add that to the shares I bought from Jaime and Celia, and suddenly your thirty percent doesn’t look so powerful anymore. The vote for CEO will not be yours to claim.”The silence was deafening. Ponce’s smirk was gone, replaced by a storm brewing in his eyes. Santino’s fists clenched, his anger boiling over — not just at Andres for entangling A

  • The Sin of Loving You   Uninvited

    A few days later, the boardroom of the Del Carmen Empire was cloaked in silence, the air heavy with anticipation. The long mahogany table gleamed under the lights, but the atmosphere was anything but polished.At one end sat Ponce Natividad, his posture relaxed, his smile sharp, like a predator waiting for the kill. Beside him, Mr. Domingo adjusted his glasses, his expression unreadable, though his eyes flickered with unease.Across the table, Jaime sat stiff, his jaw tight, his gaze locked on Ponce. Celia was beside him, pale but composed, her hands folded tightly as if holding herself together. Santino leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his anger simmering just beneath the surface.The room felt incomplete, a shadow of tension lingering over the empty seat that only Ainara knew belonged to Andres.Ponce’s voice broke the silence, smooth and cutting. “Well, it seems the Del Carmen Empire is crumbling faster than I anticipated. Investors are nervous. Rumors are spreading. And unle

  • The Sin of Loving You    Tension Like a Blade

    Celia’s lips parted, but before she could speak, the door creaked open. Jaime stood there, his face pale, his eyes heavy with something more than judgment.“Enough,” Jaime said quietly, his gaze shifting between mother and daughter. Ainara tried to speak but Jaime raised his hand to stop her from talking. “I said enough.” Jaime’s voice cut through the tension like a blade. He stepped fully into the study, his presence commanding, his eyes narrowing at Ainara.“You shouldn’t be raising your voice at your mother,” Jaime said firmly. “Celia is sick. She doesn’t need this stress, this anger. You should be protecting her, not making her suffer.”Ainara’s lips trembled, her tears spilling faster. Ano ba ang ikakatwiran n'ya? Mali s'ya. Maling mali. And now it's going to cost her the family she treasured and the company Joaquin built for many years... his legacy going down the drain because she made a mistake. Before she could answer, the door creaked open again. Santino shuffled in, still
