Before It's Too Late

Aya Reyes, a smart, resilient and capable woman who was a believer in love. After all, mas madaling paniwalaan ang mga pangakong nanggaling mismo sa taong mahal mo, sa taong pinaniwala ka na you are capable of receiving love, who made you the center of his universe, and the same man who promised to walk you down the aisle. And Aya believed him. Until he disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Just ache and promises that never came true. For five years, naghintay si Aya. She held on to memories, making excuses, and the fragile hope that maybe one day, babalik sya. Pero hindi siya bumalik. Hindi siya nagparamdam. So she did the only thing she knew to survive: she moved on. New city. New job. New life. Day by day, she did everything para unti-unting buuin ang sarili nya at mamuhay sa mundong wala na si Adrian. Pero mapaglaro ang tadhana. Sa pagdaan ng araw na pilit kinakalimutan ni Aya si Adrian, he started introducing himself to the word. Adrian Vale is a powerful bachelor and now the CEO of Vale Group–rich, brilliant, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. The next time Aya saw him again, they weren’t lovers anymore. Hindi rin strangers, kundi bilang boss at empleyado. And this time, Adrian doesn't remember her. After a mysterious accident five years ago, Adrian Vale lost all of his memories, kasama na ang babaeng pinakamamahal nya at ang pangako nila sa isa’t isa. Now, as fate slowly pulls them into each other’s lives again, Aya needs to come with a decision. Should she tell him who she was or let him live his life and lose him again?

Isla Navarro never belonged in the glittering world of the rich, but a job at Hale International Hotels changes everything. Fierce and outspoken, she has no patience for entitled men — especially not Sebastian Hale, the ruthless billionaire CEO who rules New York’s hospitality empire, which has expanded to Asian countries. From the moment they meet, sparks fly. He calls her trouble. She calls him arrogant. But when a dangerous corporate rival puts Isla in danger, Sebastian offers her a deal: “Stay close to me, and I’ll keep you safe.” What starts as protection turns into something neither of them planned — nights tangled in silk sheets, stolen touches in shadowed hallways, and a connection that threatens to shatter his iron control. In a world where power is currency and trust is rare, Isla must decide — is she just another move in his game, or the one woman who can bring the tycoon to his knees?

“Yllena, come here!” masayang bungad ng kaniyang asawa ng makapasok siya sa opisina nito. Nakita niya ang pagsilay ng matamis na ngiti sa labi ni Grae, ang kaniyang asawa. Lumapit siya dala ang isang sobre na naglalaman ng resulta ng kaniyang utrasound nitong umaga. Tamang-tama ito dahil ngayong araw ay unang anibersaryo ng kanilang kasal. Habang siya ay papalapit ay papalakas ng papalakas ang pintig ng kaniyang puso. Magkahalong excitement at kaba dahil alam niyang matutuwa ang asawa. Ilalabas na sana niya ang laman ng sobre ng bigla itong magsalita. “Evie’s back.” Biglang nanuyo ang kaniyang labi at natuod siya sa kinatatayuan. Ibinalik niya ang papel sa sobre. “I want a divorce, Yllena. Siya ang mahal ko,” dugtong nito. Ni hindi manlang inisip ni Grae ang mararamdaman ni Yllena samantalang simula pa lang ay alam na niyang mahal siya ng babae. “Oh sige,“ tipid niyang sagot. Mabilis pa sa ala-kuwatrong inilahad ni Grae ang Divorce Agreement papers para pirmahan ni Yllena. “Here, naayos ko na agad. Pirma mo nalang ang kulang!” masaya nitong sabi. Pinunasan ni Yllena ang luha at nanginginig na pumirma. Parang dose-dosenang punyal ang tumarak sa puso niya. Parang kating-kati ito na makasama ang babaeng 'yon? Bumalik si Yllena sa pamilya ngunit ng gabi ding ‘yon ay itinakwil siya. Dahil sa bigat at sakit ng kaniyang kalooban ay huminto siya sa tulay. Bumuhos ang napakalakas ng ulan. Nais na niyang wakasan ang lahat ng biglang may humawak sa kaniyang kamay at sapilitan siyang inilayo sa kamatayan. Hinila siya nito papasok sa kotse. Nuon lang niya namukhaan ang lalaki. “Lucerys? Lucerys Montblanc,” sambit niya. “Yes, I am. Death is not the answer, woman, but rather revenge,” kunot-noo nitong sabi. “Make him pay! Join me, Yllena!”dugtong nito.
