Don’t cry, Baby. I will take care of you. I promise, akin ka na, papanagutan kita sa pagdating ng panahon. From now on, you’re mine!” Humihikbi cyang nagtakip ng kumot sa hubad na katawan nya.

"I don't do commitments, Sophie. Especially not with my best friend's sister." Isang gabi. Isang pagkakamali. What was meant to be a masked one-night escape turns into a lifetime secret when Sophie discovers her mystery lover is Jace Velez—the ruthless billionaire CEO and her brother’s best friend. She runs, carrying the child of a man who doesn’t believe in love. Five years later, Sophie is a struggling single mom to Xavi, surviving with the help of a mysterious benefactor known only as “LJV.” From lavish gifts to prepaid school fees, LJV has been their silent guardian. She never expected to cross paths with Jace again—until she’s forced to work at Velez Corp. Jace is still cold, commanding, and dangerously magnetic. He acts like he doesn’t remember her, but his eyes say otherwise. Every glance burns with possessiveness. Every order feels personal. And every message from LJV grows more invasive—knowing things no stranger should. As Sophie falls deeper into the web of secrets, she faces a terrifying truth: Jace isn’t just the Ice King. He might be LJV. But someone else claims that title too—someone watching her and Xavi from the shadows. Ngunit ang dalaga ay tila nahuhulog na sa “ninong” na nagsilbing ama ni Xavi sa mga panahong wala si Jace. Hindi pa man niya ito nakikita ay tila tanggap na ito ng kanyang pusong patuloy na inaangkin ng isang Velez. Sa mundo na ang pag-ibig ay isang laro, sino ang mas matimbang para kay Sophie — ang isang anino na tanggap ang buong pagkatao niya o ang lalaking may puwang parin sa puso niya?

SYNOPSIS: FOREVER MINE, MRS. CEO Megan Ratajkowski built her billion-dollar empire based on one rule: never look back. Five years ago, she was the most awaited bride in the country, preparing for a wedding worth 500 million pesos—an event that would’ve made her one of the most talked-about people in high society. But before she could even walk down the altar, her whole world crashed down. She received only one text message from Damien Harrington: “Don’t wait for me.” Walang paliwanag. Walang paalam. Naiwan siyang may matinding kahihiyan sa harap ng lahat, at nasira ang puso at pangarap na binuo niya. Ngayon, si Megan na ang pinakabata at pinakamakapangyarihang female CEO sa buong bansa. Ginawa niyang sandata ang tagumpay—cool, brilliant, at sinasabing walang puso pagdating sa negosyo. Ang tagumpay ang naging kalasag niya, para makalimutan ang lalaking minsan nang winasak ang lahat ng meron siya. Pero may ibang plano ang tadhana. Isang mataas na pusta na merger deal ang magbabalik sa kanya sa nakaraan. Harap-harapin niya ulit ang taong ayaw na niyang makita: Damien Harrington. Ngayon siya na ang pinuno ng Harrington Holdings—mas mayaman, mas mapanganib, at mas matindi pa sa dati. Sa sandaling pumasok siya sa boardroom at nagtama ang kanilang mga mata, biglang bumalik ang lahat ng sakit, galit, at mga alaala na akala niya ay nakalimutan na niya. “You don’t get to walk back into my life like nothing happened,” mariin na sabi ni Megan. “I’m not asking to walk back,” sagot ni Damien, na may matinding paninindigan sa kanyang boses. “I’m here to take what’s mine.” Pero sa likod ng mga labanan sa negosyo, may katotohanang hindi nila maitatago. Limang taon siyang hinanap ni Damien saanman siya magpunta. Limang taon din na hindi siya nagmahal ng iba.
