Always Smile Quotes

Davidson is known as a cold as Ice CEO of Montevella Corp. Everyone in Montevella Corp can't get close to him, unless they are executive members or family-related. At age of thirty, he didn't expect na kailangan niya ng magpakasal kahit wala sa plano niya. He needs to make a marriage arrangement with the daughter of Benavidez Company.  Pero bago pa mangyari ang kasalang pinaplano ay biglang dumating ang isang babae sa buhay ni Davidson. She's Keirah Gustavo, a twenty-years old childish employee of Montevella Corp.  Akala ni Davidson ay normal lang ang lahat, ngunit hindi niya alam na ito na pala ang umpisa na magulo ang nananahimik niyang mundo.  Ang kaibahan ni Keirah ay nagpabago sa malamig na binata. Dahil unti-unti lang naman nitong pinapainit ang ulo niya. But Keirah is always approaching him even tho tinataboy niya ito.  He can’t accept the fact na napapasaya siya ng dalaga sa mga simpleng bagay na ginagawa nito.  Kung kailan naman ay masaya na si Davidson sa presensya ng dalaga ay saka naman ito naglahong parang bula. And for the second time doubting himself, he couldn’t accept the fact na namimiss niya ang dalaga. Nahuhulog na ba siya dito o nadadala lang siya sa mainit na pakikisama nito sa kanya?  At isang tanong ang bumabagabag kay Davidson… Paano niya ba sasabihin sa dalaga na ikakasal na siya? Paano niya ba sasabihin dito na nakatali na siya sa isang kasunduan? 

BLURB: Si Desyrie ay lumuwas ng Maynila bitbit ang isang pangarap: ang makapag-aral at makatulong sa pamilya. Taglay ang ganda ng isang tipikal na Pilipina—morena, may mapungay na mga mata, at hubog ng katawang pang-modelo—madali sana siyang makakahanap ng mapapangasawa. Ngunit sumumpa siya: hinding-hindi siya magpapakatanga sa pag-ibig gaya ng kaniyang ina. “Bahala na kung tumandang dalaga,” ang madalas niyang bitaw na salita. Sa kabilang banda, si Lumiere Salvatiero ay isang bilyonaryong kinalimutan na ang salitang "pagmamahal." Matapos iwan ng kaniyang fiancée para sa ibang lalaki, ang dating butihing boss ay naging malamig, mabalasik, at lunod sa trabaho. Para sa kaniya, ang mga babae ay iisa lang ang habol: ang kaniyang yaman. Ngunit magbabago ang lahat sa isang hapon. Sa tapat ng kaniyang mansyon, isang napakagandang babae ang nakatayo habang binabasa ang poster: HIRING: YOUNG MAID. Sa isang sulyap, Lumiere was starstruck. Ngunit agad niyang iwinaksi ang nararamdaman. Para sa kaniya, isa lang din si Desyrie sa mga babaeng gagamitin ang ganda para makuha ang kaniyang pera. Doon magsisimula ang isang laro ng pangungutya, pagtitiis, at damdaming pilit itinatago sa likod ng mga malamig na titig. Will Desyrie’s fierce heart break Lumiere’s icy walls? O magiging isa lamang siyang biktima ng nakaraan ng lalaking ayaw nang maniwala sa pag-ibig? "I thought he was my forever, but he was just a lesson. My real hero was always right beside me."

Hindi ko kailanman inakala na ang isang pagkakamali ay magdadala sa akin sa mundo ng mafia—isang mundong puno ng kapangyarihan, kasalanan, at lihim. Ako si Freya Alcantara, ang anak ng isang makapangyarihang pamilya na matagal ko nang tinakasan. Rebelde ako, matapang, at handang lumaban para sa sarili kong kalayaan. Pero lahat ng iyon ay nagbago nang makilala ko si Torren Villanueva—ang lalaking kinatatakutan ng buong underworld. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Ganito siya kilala ng lahat. Pero sa akin… iba ang tingin niya. Mula sa unang sandaling nagtagpo ang aming mga mata, may kakaibang tensyon na hindi ko maipaliwanag. Para bang may lihim siyang desisyon na ginawa tungkol sa akin—at wala akong say sa bagay na iyon. Torren is a man who always gets what he wants. At sa isang iglap, ako ang naging bagong obsession ng mafia king. Pinilit niya akong manatili sa mundo niya—isang mundong puno ng panganib, kapangyarihan, at mga lihim na hindi dapat malaman ng kahit sino. Kahit galit ako sa kanya, kahit pilit kong nilalabanan ang kontrol niya… hindi ko maitatanggi ang kakaibang hatak na nararamdaman ko sa bawat titig at bawat salita niya. Pero habang lumalalim ang pagkahumaling niya sa akin, mas lumalapit din ang mga kaaway na handang sirain ang lahat. Sa mundong pinamumunuan ni Torren, walang ligtas. Walang kalayaan. At ang pinaka-nakakatakot na katotohanan? Hindi ko na alam kung gusto ko pa bang makawala sa kanya… o kung unti-unti na rin akong nahuhulog sa lalaking maaaring sisira sa akin.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded.

Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.
