Breaking Through

It's Byenn and Alaric's 5th wedding anniversary when Alaric's first love came back. At noong gabing iyon, aksidenteng nahuli ni Byenn si Alaric sa loob ng banyo, minamasturbate ang sarili habang binabanggit ang pangalan ng ibang babae. "Byenn, nakakaawa si Reia ngayong bumalik siyang mag-isa," paliwanag ni Alaric. "Tinutulungan ko lang siya bilang kaibigan." Tumango lang si Byenn at tipid na ngumiti. "Naiintindihan ko," maikli niyang sagot. Makalipas ang ilang araw, muling nagpaalam ang lalaki habang nag-eempake ng gamit. “Byenn, nangako ako kay Reia na ice-celebrate ko ang birthday niya sa isla. Tinutupad ko lang ang pangako ko noon.” "Okay.” "Byenn, this party needs a capable assistant," hirit ulit ni Alaric bago ang isang malaking event, tila minamaliit ang kakayahan ng asawa. "Mas bagay si Reia kaysa sa iyo para sa role na ito." "Okay, go ahead." Nang mapansin ni Alaric na hindi na siya nagagalit, hindi na umiiyak, at hindi na naggagawa ng eksena, naguluhan ito. Lumapit ito sa kaniya at nagtatakang nagtanong, "Byenn, bakit hindi ka na nagagalit?" Of course, hindi na siya galit dahil aalis na rin siya. Pagod na siya sa stagnant nilang kasal. Habang abala si Alaric kay Reia ay palihim siyang nag-aral ng English saka kumuha ng IELTS, at pasimpleng nag-submit ng applications para mag-aral abroad. On the day her visa was approved, she threw out the divorce papers. "Huwag kang magbiro nang ganyan," sarkastikong tawa ni Alaric habang tinitingnan ang papel. "Paano ka mabubuhay nang wala ako?" Hindi na nag-abalang sumagot si Byenn. She just turned around, bought a plane ticket, and flew straight to Europe. The next time Alaric saw news about her, it was through a viral video online. Kitang-kita ang ganda ni Byenn habang naka-red dress, dancing freely in the sky above a foreign land. She looked so alive.

Irene Ang is doing everything she can just to survive. Mag-isa sa buhay, walang masasandalan na pamilya, at halos magkanda kuba na sa kakatrabaho para lang hindi siya masigawan o mapagalitan ng boss niyang perfectionist. Pero hindi lang trabaho ang nagpapahirap sa kanya. Pagkatapos ng ilang taong pagpapakatanga at pagtitiis, nahuli niya ang kasintahan na may ibang babae. Sa mismong party na siya pa ang nag-organize. Ngunit sa gitna ng gulo ng buhay niya, nariyan ang boss niyang si Tirso Gotiangco, a CEO, billionaire, cold, calculated, and intimidating. A man who doesn’t care about feelings, only results. Basta productive ka, may silbi ka. Kung pumalpak ka, maririnig mo talaga sa kanya ang masasakit na salita. At para sa kanya, si Irene ay isang liability. Mahina. Hindi bagay sa mundong ginagalawan nila. They don’t get along. They never have. Pero sa bawat gabing magkasama sila dahil sa overtime, sa presentations, sa mga elevator na bigla na lang sisikip kapag magkasama sila… may unti-unting nagbabago. Irene learns to stand up for herself. And Tirso? Maybe he isn’t as heartless as everyone thinks. He’s powerful and untouchable. She’s hurting and trying to rebuild herself. Until one mistake changes everything—one night, one almost-kiss, one decision that could destroy both their careers. Nangako si Irene sa sarili niya na hindi na siya muling iibig. Pero paano kung ang lalaking kinaiinisan niya… ang siya ring lalaban nang patâyan para protektahan siya? “She’s under my wing now. If you want her gone, you’ll have to go through me first.”

Juliana has everything that money could buy, at hindi kasama doon ang pagmamahal ng isang magulang.

"My brother is a saint, Ava. But me? I like getting my hands dirty," Zion whispered, nipping her earlobe. "And for the record... Zane is at dinner with your sister right now.
