And Then There Were None

Alyra “Alya” Lucrezia is a woman who lives a quiet life while preparing herself to serve God. Lumaki siya na may matibay na pananampalataya, kaya naniniwala si Alya na ang tunay na kapayapaan ay makikita lang sa debosyon at sakripisyo. Sinusubukan niyang lumayo sa ingay ng mundo. However, everything changes when a powerful and wealthy man, Cameron Villareal, enters her life. Cameron is known for his influence, money, and dangerous charm. Sa unang pagkakataon pa lang na makita siya ni Alya, nagsimulang magulo ang tahimik na buhay na pinaghirapan niyang buuin. Unknown to the people around them, Alya and Cameron share a painful past. One filled with secrets, mistakes, and a desire they both tried to escape. Alya ran away months ago to leave that life behind and to protect herself from the chaos Cameron brings. Pero si Cameron ay hindi ang tipo ng lalaki na basta nalang hinahayaan ang mga bagay na matapos nang walang kasagutan. What they share is not simple love, it is a mix of anger, longing, temptation, and guilt. Habang patuloy na nagkakasalubong ang kanilang mga landas, napapagitnaan si Alya sa dalawang mundo: ang pangako niya sa Diyos at ang malakas na paghila ng damdamin niya kay Cameron. Habang pilit siyang ibinabalik ni Cameron sa buhay nito, nahihirapan si Alya na protektahan ang kanyang puso, and the fragile peace she fought so hard to find. In a story filled with secrets, temptation, and emotional battles, Alya must face the hardest question of her life: Will she remain faithful to the life she chose, or will she fall again into the dangerous desire she once tried to escape? Because sometimes, the greatest sin is not breaking the rules— but loving the one person you were never meant to love.

Scarlet Quinn Reyes, at the age of sixteen, she was infamous for being a liberated playgirl. Boyfriend here, boyfriend there. Basta mayaman at kayang ibigay ang mga luho niya, pasado na iyon sa standards niya. Para sa kaniya, ang mundo ay isang malaking playground. Kayang-kaya niyang paikutin sa palad ang mga lalaki na para bang mga laruan. Her usual targets were much older men. She faked her age, even her personality, just to get what she wanted. Not until Renzo Riku Alcantara came into the picture. He was Scarlet sister’s cousin-in-law, known for being kind and responsible. Bukod pa roon, siya rin ay ubod ng yaman at hindi rin maitatanggi ang angkin nitong kakisigan—mga katangian na nagtulak kay Scarlet para siya ang susunod na targetin. But unlike the men Scarlet had toyed with, Renzo was not swayed by her charm. Ang gusto pa nga niya ay ituwid ang landas ng dalaga para magbago ito. Nagpakakuya siya kay Scarlet, tipong halos lahat ng mga nagiging kasintahan ng dalaga ay ipinapakulong niya. Sa sobrang pagdidisiplina niya kay Scarlet, hindi niya namalayang sarili na pala niya ang dapat disiplinahin... dahil unti-unti na siyang nahuhulog sa dalaga. Ngunit pinigilan niya ang damdamin dahil bata pa ito. Nagpakalayo-layo siya. Saka lang siya bumalik noong debut party ni Scarlet. Ang kaso… buntis na ang dalaga. Ngunit iniwan siya ng tunay na ama ng dinadala niya, kaya si Renzo mismo ang umako at nagpaka-responsable sa bata. Pero sa pagbabalik ng tunay na ama, pipiliin kaya siya ni Scarlet... o mananatili siya kay Renzo?

Travis Villaflor does not lose. In business, he conquers. In life, he dominates. With godlike beauty, ruthless intelligence, and power that bends men twice his size, he has built an empire where everything and everyone falls into place exactly as he commands. And he belongs to Cathyrine Reva. At least, that is the lie he has repeated for years. Because there was once a boy. Raine Montemayor. Fifteen years of age. Soft-eyed and devoted. Recklessly in love. A boy who trembled but still offered everything. His body, his heart, his soul. And the confession, it terrified him. So he crushed it. “I’m straight,” he said coldly. “I only see you as a brother.” And just like that, he destroyed the only person who had ever looked at him as if he were something more than a god. Raine left for Canada soon after. Travis thought distance would erase the memory. Well, it didn’t. Years later, Raine returns. But the boy Travis rejected is gone. The man who steps off the plane is controlled and polished. Sinfully beautiful. His smile no longer innocent, but knowing. His presence no longer pleading, but commanding. Raine no longer looks like he belongs to him. And that is unacceptable. He has a girlfriend, a reputation and a name built on control. Yet every time Raine turns away from him… every time someone else dares to touch him… Jealousy tastes like blood in his mouth. He wants to drag him close. Mark him. Remind him. “You think you’ve outgrown me?” Travis murmurs one night, voice low and dangerous. “You think you can come back here and pretend I don’t own every part of you? You're wrong baby. You're mine, only mine. Even your brothers can do nothing about it. I possess you.

Sa loob ng tatlong taong pagsasama ay tunay na pagmamahal ang ipinaramdam ni Agatha Dela Cruz-Ibañez sa asawa niyang si Daniel Ibañez. They were childhood friends kaya nang sinabi ng mga magulang nila na sila ay magpapakasal ay hindi siya tumutol doon. Bagkus ay tinanggap niya iyon ng buong puso dahil umaasa siya na mamahalin din siya ng kaniyang kaibigan. Nawasak ang ilusyon niya nang direktang sinabi sa kaniya ni Daniel na wala siyang maaasahan dahil may iba nang nagmamay-ari sa puso nito. Ang mas masakit ay gagamitin ni Daniel ang arranged marriage nila upang pagselosin ang first love nito. Agatha tried everything to make him fall for her. She became the best housewife for him by giving up her booming career. She stayed by his side kahit na ilang beses pa siya nitong ipagtabuyan. “Hinding-hindi ako papayag na magkaanak tayong dalawa. You are free to choose kung anong uri ng abort10n ang gagawin mo. Ang mahalaga lang sa akin ay hindi iyan mabubuhay upang tawagin akong ama,” iyon ang katagang binitawan ni Daniel noong nalaman nito na sinabi niya na siya ay buntis. Labis na nasaktan si Agatha sa sinabi ni Daniel. Sapat na iyon para tuluyan niyang bitawan ang kasal na siya lang ang may gusto. Isang mapait na ngiti ang ibinigay niya sa asawa, “Kung ayaw mo sa bata ay wala na akong magagawa. Tapos na ako sa responsibilidad ko sa iyo bilang iyong asawa,” sabi niya bago pa man niya hinubad ang wedding ring na matagal din niyang iningatan.

Sa araw mismo ng Christmas Day, isang “surprise” ang natanggap ni Shiena—pero hindi ito ang pagbubuntis na inaasahan niyang ikatutuwa ng asawa niya. Instead, she discovers the cruel truth inside the hospital lounge: she was never the wife he truly wanted. Isa lang siyang kapalit. A shadow of the woman her husband, the brilliant and untouchable doctor William, could never forget. Shattered by betrayal, humiliation, and the child growing inside her womb, Shiena chooses to walk away from the marriage she fought so hard to protect. But leaving the man she loved turns out to be the biggest mistake. Because the moment she disappears, the cold doctor who never explained, never cared, and never looked back begins to realize the one truth he was too blind to see: the woman he pushed away was the only one who ever truly loved him. Now that she’s rebuilding her life, chasing the dreams she once sacrificed for him, William is determined to get her back. But what if the woman he broke no longer wants to be healed by him? And what if the child he never knew existed becomes the proof of the doctor’s greatest mistake? … Napaatras si Shiena nang mariin nitong isinara ang pinto ng office. His hand slammed against the wall beside her head, trapping her between his body and the cold surface. His usually calm eyes were now filled with desperation. “You left without a word… and you think I’ll let you disappear again?” “Too late, Doc. You already chose her.” Then he lowered his gaze to the little boy hiding behind her legs. For the first time, the great Dr. William De la cruz looked cruletely shattered. “He’s… mine?” “That was the child you threw away before you even knew he existed.”
