1st Chronicles

Ako si Martin Del Rivas. Ang mga tao sa labas ay nakikita ako bilang perpektong senador, ang presidente sa hinaharap, ang bachelor na kinakikiligan ng bansa. Ang mga ngiti nila, ang pagpupuri sa akin… lahat ay pekeng salamin. Sa loob, ako ay umiiyak sa dilim na hindi nila nakikita, umiiyak sa pagkawala na hindi nila mauunawaan. Hindi nila alam na may isang pintuan sa mansion ko na hindi dapat buksan. At may isang babae akong sinasambit sa bawat gabi,na hindi lamang alaala ng trahedya, kundi dahilan ng lahat ng aking galit. Si Savanna ang naging pugad ng aking pagkawasak, ang sentro ng bawat galit , bawat obsesyon na hindi ko matakasan. Hindi ko siya kinuha dahil gusto ko. Kinuha ko siya dahil kailangan kong itama ang mundo na pinabayaan niya at sa bawat araw na siya ay nakadapa sa harap ko, bawat luha na hindi niya dapat ipapakita, lalo akong nagiging alipin ng sarili kong galit. Akala niya libreng buhay ang kanyang makakamtan sa mansion ko. Akala niya kalayaan ang makikita niya sa bawat galaw ko. Pero mali siya. Ako ang may hawak, hindi lang ng katawan niya, kundi pati ng kanyang hininga, ng bawat takot at galit na sinusupil niya sa loob. At kahit nararamdaman ko ang pagbabago sa puso ko, kahit ang galit ay nagiging pangungulila, alam kong hindi ko siya kayang bitawan. Hindi ko siya kayang talikuran. Siya ang dahilan ng aking pagkawasak, at siya rin ang dahilan ng aking pagbangon. At sa bawat gabing ako ay mag isa, habang iniisip ang mga nagdaang trahedya, naiintindihan ko na ang laban na ito, ang pagmamahal at poot, ang obsesyon at pagkawasak ay hindi matatapos. Hindi kailanman. Sapagkat sa kanya ko naramdaman ang ganap na kontrol, at sa kanya ko rin naramdaman ang ganap na kawalan ng kapangyarihan.

Akala ko mababaon ko na sa limot ang nakaraan. Eighteen years ago, I walked away from the man I loved, clutching the tiny life growing inside me, shattering my own heart to protect my child. Binuo ko ang mundo ko mula sa simula, pinalaki si Gian nang may lakas at pagmamahal, at hinubog ang reputasyon ko bilang Queen Verdict, hindi matatalo at matatag sa korte. Para sa akin, ang Maynila, ang lungsod ng pagkakanulo, ay mundo na isinara ko na magpakailanman. But life has a way of dragging you back into the fire. Nang mapilitan akong humarap sa imperyo ng Aragon sa korte, I’m not prepared for the ghosts of my past especially Nathan, now standing across the courtroom from me, representing the family that once tore us apart. Ang tensyon ay matindi, personal, at imposibleng balewalain. At si Laura, na parang anino ng dilim, na may bulong ng tukso at kaguluhan, nagpapakita kay Nathan ng dahilan para makalimot sa akin. I thought I could protect Gian from Nathan’s world, from their tangled history, but fate has other plans. Nang dumating ang panganib, napagtanto kong ang pag-ibig, katapatan, at tiwala ay laban sa sarili rin. Ang obsesyon ni Nathan, ang walang tigil niyang pagsunod, ang matinding proteksyon niya ay nakakaakit, nakakatakot, at nakalilito lahat ng sabay. I have a choice: let him back into our lives or keep the walls I’ve built, shielding my son from heartbreak again. Ngunit sa larong ito ng kapangyarihan, paghihiganti, at pagnanasa, natutunan ko ang isang bagay: a Queen rises, scars and all, to claim her throne. At gagawin ko ang lahat para protektahan ang pamilya ko, kahit harapin ang lalaking minahal ko noon ,kahit pa harapin ang aking mga kahihinatnan and the consequences I never imagined.

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.

Isang nurse. Isang imperyo. Isang kasal na pinirmahan sa dugo. Hindi kailanman hinangad ni Stefanie Rivera ang kapangyarihan—pero isang malupit na kasunduan ang nagtulak sa kanya bilang tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking airline empire sa Asya… at mortal na kaaway ng sinumang nais maagaw ito. Si Adrian Zubiri—malamig, matalino, at sugatan ng nakaraan—siya dapat sana ang tunay na tagapagmana. Pero ngayon, napilitan siyang pakasalan ang babaeng pinaka-kinamumuhian niya para mabawi ang lahat. Ang plano niya? Wasakin siya. Ipahiya siya. Durugin siya. Ngunit hindi marunong yumuko si Stefanie. Lumalaban siya—at ang apoy niya’y lalo lang nagiging tukso kay Adrian. Mula sa kasunduang puno ng galit, sumiklab ang isang mapanganib na laro ng pagnanasa. At sa gitna ng mga kaaway, iskandalo, at nag-aalab na damdamin, pipili si Adrian: protektahan ang imperyo… o ang babaeng kailanman ay hindi dapat naging kanya. Sa mundong ang kapangyarihan, ang pera at ang pag-ibig ay kahinaan— Mas ligtas ang galit. Pero bakit siya nauuhaw sa babaeng puwedeng tuluyang sumira sa kanya? "She was supposed to be his punishment. He was supposed to be her enemy. But in a war between hate and love—only the heart can decide who wins"

Tristan Moreno and I are asked when we're getting married when we attend a class reunion. "We're undecided." "1st of October." Our answers come simultaneously. His head shoots up, and he looks at me with anger and disbelief. I ignore him and explain to my classmates, "I'm getting married on the 1st of October. You're all invited." I know what Tristan wants to ask me. He and I have dated for eight years, but he's never discussed marriage with me. He drags me to a corner, looking furious. "Didn't we agree to put marriage on hold? Do you take pleasure in forcing me into this?" I pry his fingers off my wrist and say, "You can put it on hold for as long as you want. That doesn't stop me from getting married." He's long since gotten bored of me—he's found a younger woman but thinks he's done well in keeping it a secret. Fortunately, he's not the man I'm marrying.

"Will you pull such naughty pranks on your loving husband again?" She shook her head, eyes fluttering down in shyness. She won't dare because she hates it whenever he ignores her and gives her a silent treatment. "I won't, husband." "Good, now it's time for another punishment." ???! "W-What punishment, husband?"
