Admiring From Afar Novels & Stories

Sa mismong araw ng kanyang divorce, nagsuot si Dorothy Navarro ng pulang bestida—hindi para mang-akit, hindi para magpakitang okay siya, kundi para alalahanin ang minsang pagmamahalan na ngayo'y ganap nang nawala. Pagkatapos niyang talikuran ang isang sirang kasal ng walang halong drama, ang huli niyang inaasahan ay ang mapansin ng pinakanakamisteryosong CEO sa bansa—si Theodore Velasco. Tahimik. Mapanuri. Mapanganib sa mga taong humaharang sa daan niya. At tila may alam ito tungkol sa matagal nang tinataguang katotohanan: ang pagkamatay ng tiyahin ni Dorothy—isang kasong tinapos ng mundo bilang "suicide." Ngunit isang tawag lang, isang paper bag ng kape, at nahulog si Dorothy sa isang masalimuot na mundo ng lihim, kapangyarihan, at paghilom ng lumang sugat. Upang mabuhay sa bagong laban, kailangang mamili ni Dorothy: pagkatiwalaan ang lalaking walang emosyon ngunit may hawak ng katotohanan—o layuan ang tanging taong handang bigyan siya ng proteksyon, kalayaan, at isang bagong apelyido—Mrs. Velasco. Ngunit ang kasunduang kasal na ginawa para sa paghihiganti… ay baka mauwi sa totoong pagmamahal. Magtatagumpay ba si Dorothy bilang maging tagapagmanang pinagkait sa kanya noon? O ang pangalawang pagkakataon niya sa pag-ibig ang tuluyang magpapabagsak sa kanya?

At kapag puso na ang kumilos, kahit mali... nagiging tama. Now, will Jenesis choose to walk away from Raoul's touch… or let herself fall into a love that could ruin her?
