Critical

My best friend was a "mistress breakup consultant". I had lent her money to start her business, and her very first job turned out to be breaking up my own marriage. "Jessie, what's the point of a loveless marriage? You've wasted Harold's time for five years. Are you really going to keep clinging to him and making him miserable for the rest of his life?" my best friend asked. I laughed at the self-righteous nonsense she was spouting and had security escort her out. She came right back, though, this time with a so-called "Anti-Mistress Alliance", live-streaming the chaos as they broke into my company. "The one who isn't loved is the real intruder!" "Fight for love at all costs!" They chanted while smashing up my office. I watched them calmly, waiting until they wore themselves out before pulling out a contract. "The 100,000 dollars you borrowed from me has been overdue for six months. If you don't repay it soon, I'll be forced to take legal action. "And, the lab equipment you've destroyed is valued at 5,550,000 dollars. You'll need to compensate me at full price. "Otherwise, I'll see you in court."

“The monster you’re talking about,” I muttered, my heart pounding furiously against my chest. “Let it out. I want to feel it,” He smirked, the type that sent shivers down your spine. The type that warned you ‘never make a deal with the devil’ kind. “Watch your tongue, darling,” His cold deep voice had its way of doing something to my stomach, especially when he laid threats. “I don't fuck like a gentleman. I also don't fuck like a monster,” he strides towards me, pinning his gaze on my body. “I fuck like the devil in your nightmares, and you’ll scream like I am your God.” A contract relationship. Signed by ink in words. It was supposed to be a contract, but it was a trap: “Both parties expressly agree that this arrangement is strictly contractual in nature and devoid of any emotional or romantic involvement. Any demonstration of affection, emotional attachment, or behavior suggestive of romantic intent shall constitute a material breach of contract. Violation of this clause will result in immediate termination of the agreement, and the offending party shall forfeit all benefits, assets, or compensations received under this contract. This clause is non-negotiable and emphasized as a binding condition of the agreement.” However, there was another; “Party A must be in a perfect health condition.” *** Olivia Hayes is terminally ill and suffers from cancer. She has lived all her life prioritizing her mother’s health condition until one sentence shattered her dynamism; “I’m sorry, Miss Hayes. The results confirm it is cancer.” With her mother in a critical condition, she struggles to raise the funds for immediate treatment not until her encounter with Ezekiel Grayson, a cold heartless CEO offering a contract that could directly change her life… and destroy it forever.

Kaella Ponce has always been the sales manager everyone relies on—palaging on time, mahusay sa numbers, at hindi basta-basta natitinag. Sa mundo ng Roque Corporation kung saan bawat deal ay critical, she’s the woman who keeps the department running smoothly. Kaya nang ma-assign sa kanya ang isang tila clueless na trainee, she’s ready to roll her eyes and move on. Pero hindi ordinaryong newbie si Jerome. Sa likod ng kanyang simpleng trainee facade, siya pala ang Jerome Roque, ang tanging tagapagmana ng snack empire na pinagtatrabahuhan nila. Sa utos ng kanyang ama, nagkunwari siyang baguhan para maintindihan ang kumpanya at makita kung sino ang tunay na loyal. Nang kailangan niyang biglang umalis dahil sa family business crisis abroad, hindi na niya naipaliwanag ang buong katotohanan. Naiwan si Kaella—brokenhearted at feeling betrayed—at nangakong hindi na muling magpapaloko. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon, matagumpay at kilala na sa industriya si Kaella—mas strong, mas guarded, pero may mga sugat pa ring hindi tuluyang naghilom. Sa isang malaking business conference, nakasalubong niya ulit ang isang ngiti na matagal na niyang gustong kalimutan. Si Jerome Roque, ngayon ay isang charismatic CEO, bumalik para patunayan na hindi nagbago ang feelings niya. Muling nagbabalik ang kilig, ang sakit, at ang mga alaala. Pero handa pa bang buksan ni Kaella ang puso niya? Kaya ba niyang muling mahulog—this time sa billionaire boss na minsan na siyang iniwan? O hahayaan niyang manatili ang distansya sa pagitan nila kahit na malinaw na may spark pa rin?

Ang akala mo ay makakatakas ka na din sa pang-aalipusta sayo ng mga magulang mo dahil sa may taong nagmamahal na sayo, ang hindi mo din alam ay ginagamit ka lang din naman nito. Pag-ibig? Ano ba talaga ang silbi ng salitang iyan, kung lahat naman sila ay pinagkakaisahan ako, pinagkaisahan ako ng tadhana. Ang pagmamahal na kay sagana noong una ay bigla na lang naglaho ng malaman kong ginagamit niya lang ako. Ng mapakasal ako sa isang lalaking hindi ko kakilala ay mas naging impyerno pa ang aking buhay. Wala na bang mas ikakalupit ang tadhana? Pagod na ako, pagod na pagod na ako, kung bakit kasi nangyayari sa aking ang mga ganitong bagay. Naghintay ako, kinuha nila ang kompanya na dapat ay para sa akin, mga ari-arian na dapat para sa akin, ang anak ko na pinatay nila kahit nasa sinapupunan ko pa ito, hindi pa sila nasiyahan at pati ako ay pinapapatay nila. Naghihintay lang ako ng pagkakataon, hintayin niyo ang aking pagbabalik. Tiyak na sa pagbabalik ko ay hindi ko kayo papalampasin lahat.

Si Felicia ay isang batang ulila na may pambihirang talino at diskarte. At isang utak kriminal kung tutuusin, pero hindi kailanman ginamit sa kasamaan.  Sa murang edad, naging banta na siya sa kapulisan at naging pakay ng mga pinuno ng kriminal na sindikato. Hangad nilang gamitin ang galing ni Felicia para sa pansariling kapangyarihan. Ngunit isang gabing puno ng panganib ang tuluyang nagbago sa kanyang kapalaran. Iniligtas ni Felicia ang mga anak ng mayaman na biktima ng kidnapping, at hindi niya alam na doon na magbabago ang tadhana ng buhay niya. Tinulungan siya ng isang binatilyo at pinapanggap na apo ng pinakamaimpluwensyang businessman sa boung mundo at nakuha niya ang pansin nang matandang businessman na iyon na matagal nang naghihinagpis sa pagkawala ng kanyang pinakamamahal na apo. Inampon siya ng matanda at ginawa bilang huwad na tagapagmana. Kahit batid ng matanda ang buong katotohanan, buong puso niya itong tinanggap bilang apo, sa hangaring makaramdam muli ng init ng pamilya bago siya tuluyang mamaalam. Pero hindi ganoon kadali ang buhay sa loob ng mansyon. Ang mga magulang ng nawawalang bata ay malamig at mapanakit. Ang kanyang stepsister, parang ahas na laging handang manira.  Hindi niya ginusto ang lugar na ito, pero pinili niyang manatili, para tuparin ang hiling ng tanging taong naniwala sa kanya. Hangad lang ni Felicia na maging mabuting apo. Pero kailanman ay hindi naging sapat ang kabutihan sa mundong puno ng kasinungalingan at inggit. At sa likod ng bawat ngiti sa mansyon, may mas malalim palang lihim… Isa siyang pamalit.... Pero baka siya rin ang susi sa pagkawasak o pagsalba ng pamilyang ito. At kung aapakan siya ng mga taong dapat ay pamilya niya... Pasensya na lang sila. Hindi siya ang tipo'ng basta na lang magpapatalo. Dahil siya ay si Felicia o nagtatago sa pangalan ni Lucia Moretti. *****
