[AL MONLEON SERIES #1—EVAN CHRAYSTLER AL MONLEON] Nang ipapatay ni Lord Amanncio Al Monleon, ang kilalang mafia king, ang mga magulang ni Andrea Maureen “Ada” Salvegas, inakala niyang tapos na ang lahat—hanggang sa ginawa siyang pambayad sa utang ng mga ito at pinasok bilang lingkod sa mansyon ng mga Al Monleon. Sa ilalim ng marangyang bubong ng kasamaan at lihim, nakilala ni Ada ang limang anak ni Lord Amann. Ngunit tanging ang pang-apat na si Evan Chraystler Al Monleon, o Young Master Evan ang nagpatibok ng kaniyang puso. Itinaga ni Ada sa sarili, na kailanman ay hindi siya magpapasalamat sa taong pumatay sa kaniyang mga magulang nang hayaan siya nitong mabuhay. Dahil para sa kaniya ay mas nakakabuting namatay nalang din siya. Ngunit paano kung ang mismong anak ng halimaw na iyon ang maging dahilan ng muling pagtibok ng kaniyang puso? At paano kung matuklasan niyang si Evan ay bahagi pala ng isang nakaraan na matagal nang binura ng kaniyang alaala? Handa ba siyang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig sa isang Frigid Mafia Prince, o pipiliin niyang kalimutan ito kapalit ng hustisya at galit na matagal na niyang pinanghahawakan?

She was the price of a debt. He was the punishment she never saw coming. When Piper’s family business crumbles under the weight of betrayal, her father strikes a deal with billionaire Rowan Archer—one that comes with a chilling price: Piper’s hand in marriage. Rowan doesn’t believe in love. And Piper has no intention of playing the obedient bride. In a mansion that feels more like a prison and a marriage built on control, Piper must either fight the man who owns her freedom or risk falling for the one she swore to hate. The contract was only the beginning. What’s brewing between them could burn them both.

In the coastal quiet of Baler, a studio is born—not of architecture, but of intention.* Founded by Yam, a poet whose words cradle pain gently, and Franc, an artist who paints tenderness into walls, the studio becomes a refuge for those learning to stay—with grief, love, longing, and themselves. As visitors arrive, they leave behind more than footprints: a sigh recorded in bamboo, a poem tucked into the “Found Letters” shelf, a mural painted in crooked lines. Through zines, tea, silence, and sketchbooks, the studio teaches softness as revolution. Ren creates the *Window of Soft Returns*, an installation of anonymous voice recordings—each whisper forming a community of echoes. Drew builds the *Staircase With No Wrong Turns*, inviting people to walk through emotions without shame. Franc offers brushstrokes as brave work, and Yam curates writing circles that map healing in half sentences. Together, they host festivals that feel like hugs, and they begin traveling their archive, letting softness cross oceans. Even those who once left—like Miguel—return, discovering that some doors never truly close. Others, like Tala, capture the studio’s sound and turn it into a podcast of breath and becoming. Over seventy chapters, the studio transforms into something larger than itself: a mural of memory, a sanctuary for second chances, a place where return is sacred and voice is proof of survival. In the final bloom, the studio stands not as a monument—but as a reminder: > *“Staying isn’t easy. > But chosen together, > it becomes home.”*

I was a violin prodigy. But to pay my mother’s debts, I was forced to give up everything. That’s when I met the man who would own me: Dante Moretti. He was the king of New York's underworld. The Don of the Moretti family. With a single phone call, fortunes were made. With a single glance, blood was spilled. The world didn't just bend to his will—it broke. And on that day… what he wanted was me. He gave me a five-year contract. A penthouse in a skyscraper overlooking all of New York. More jewels and gowns than I could count. Every night he needed me, I’d put on whatever lacy thing he picked out. We’d have sex. Five years. 999 times. There were moments—his sweat dripping on my forehead, his soft breaths inside me, the way he’d look at me—when I let myself dream he loved me. Then the video dropped. Him. On the street. Kissing another woman. I knew the truth. He was my keeper, not my lover. Everyone laughed. They couldn't wait to see me lose my mind, begging him to keep me. Instead, I turned my back on him. And married another man.

At nine months pregnant, I suffered an unexpected miscarriage. My husband, Graham Pearson, fought back his own grief as he comforted me. He would whisper to me every day, trying to soothe my shattered heart, "Whitney, we will have children again someday. Our little angel was here for a while, and next time, we'll make sure we hold onto them..." Under Graham's careful care, I slowly began to pull myself out of the numb fog I'd been trapped in. But then, a month later, I overheard him talking to one of his friends. "If Whitney finds out the baby didn't actually die and that you've let Cassidy raise him, don't you think she'll flip out? You've worked so hard to get where you are; you can't let this mess it all up." Graham casually flicked his cigarette, his voice almost detached as he waved a hand dismissively. "Cassidy can't have kids, but she loves children. If this baby brings her joy, it's a blessing for the child, too. "I might never get the chance to be with Cassidy, but letting her raise my son, in some way, feels like a kind of fulfillment..." The truth hit me like a frozen wave, paralyzing me in place. It turned out this whole ordeal had been part of Graham's plan from the start.
