Card Apprentice Daily Log

Paano kung gusto ka nga niya pero may mahal siyang iba? Yan ang katanungan ni Mira sa kaniyang sarili. Kontento na ba siyang pangalawa lang siya sa puso ng lalaking mahal niya na sa simula't simula pa lang ay naging tapat na sa kaniyang totoong nararamdaman?

Mira Dela Cruz, isang determined pero struggling IT graduate mula sa probinsya, ay halos mawalan na ng pag-asa matapos ang sunod-sunod na job rejection—hanggang sa isang araw sa park, isang lalaking presentable at gwapo ang nagkamali ng akala sa kanya. Akala’y isa siyang bayarang babae. “Hi miss, if you’re available tonight... I’ll pay—just once.” Ito ang unang katagang binitawan ni Ethan Alexander Reyes—ang CEO ng isa sa kilalang successful IT company sa bansa. Isang lalaking seryoso, focused sa trabaho, at ni minsan ay hindi pa nagmahal. Hindi niya inakalang ang babaeng inalok niya ng isang gabi sa hotel ang magiging simula ng kanyang unang pag-ibig. Isang malakas na pagtangi ang tinanggap ni Ethan mula kay Mira nang hindi siya maniwala na isa siyang matinong babae. “Layuan mo ako! Kadiri ka. Baboy mo!” Ang hindi alam ni Mira ang lalaking iyon din pala ang magiging bago niyang boss, at siyang magbibigay sa kanya ng panibagong pag-asa. “I’ll match whatever the other companies offer, even higher—just say yes. I need someone like you here, Miss Mira Dela Cruz.” Ayaw man ni Mira na makatrabaho si Ethan, wala na siyang nagawa. Malaki ang oportunidad na dumating, at hindi niya ito kayang palampasin. Naniniwala si Ethan na ito’y tadhana—lalo’t pareho sila ng mundo. Simula pa lang, may naramdaman na siya. Love at first sight? Maybe. "Do you believe in destiny? Because I do. I just hope this time, I get it right."

Fedora Smith was done with love. Finished. Buried. Betrayal had ripped out her heart and torched it—her boyfriend of four years and her best friend of twenty-five caught pants down on the very anniversary sheets she gifted him. And their excuses? “You’re not attractive anymore.” “You took too long to marry him.” Fine. If love was a game, she was rewriting the rules. Now, she runs The Bridal Fix, an elite agency providing fake marriages for a steep price—rent-a-bride services for men needing to fool their families, secure an inheritance, or stage the perfect breakup. Fifteen weddings, fifteen divorces—no strings, no mess. Just business. Until Judah Carlstone. He hires her like the rest—one contract, one wedding, one payday. But Judah asks too many questions. Looks at her too long. And when he smirks and says— "Tell me, Fedora… how does it feel to say ‘I do’ and not mean it?" For the first time in years, she has no answer. Because this was never supposed to feel real.

Taylor Williams didn’t grow up with the loving parents, white picket fence, and a dog. She’s struggled to get where she is and knows that with all she's endured, life can only get better. At 28 years old, she hails as one of the country’s top divorce lawyers and is ready to slow down and start a family with her husband. The only problem is he's shut her out and has treated her like everything but a wife since the night he came across her and his boss in a compromising situation. In spite of her innocence, she's determined to make it up to him. Isaac Warren is bad business; the kind of bad business that requires focus and determination in order to stay alive. It’s also the kind that caused him to shut himself off from serious relationships after the brutal murder of his fiancé three years ago. Now his cold exterior keeps everyone at bay except those he considers family. He doesn’t have room for anything more than the occasional tryst, especially not with the highly acclaimed lawyer he’s accidentally stumbled upon. When their paths cross, the attraction is undeniable no matter how much they try to fight it. Their denial of each other pushes Taylor into devastating situations and as the life she worked so hard to achieve spirals out of control, she decides to take matters into her own hands because it's impossible that the hand she’s been dealt is meant to be played alone and you know what they say about karma, right?

"Sabihin na lang natin na pagod na ako sa paglalaro at nais kung tigilan na ito? Gusto kong mapalapit sa iyo dahil gusto kita. Nais kong malaman kung pareho ba tayo ng gusto o mali lang ang interpretasyon ko sa kilos mo?" "Hindi, tama ka," pag-amin niya. "Pero nitong hapon lamang ay sinabi mo na ako ay isang komplikasyon na hindi mo kailangan." "Over-analyzing is second nature to me. It’s helps me more often than I care to count. Ngunit hindi sa pagkakataong ito." "Parang hindi naman ganoon iyon," masuri niyang sinabi. "Marahil ay narealized mo lamang na walang magandang patutunguhan ang pakikipagrelasyon sa akin." "I don’t care about the future. Ang tanging mahalaga lamang ay kung ano ang narito at ang ngayon. " Humakbang siya patungo sa kanya, pagkatapos ay isa pa, hanggang sa halos malanghap na niya ang halimuyak ng kanyang balat. “Ano ang masasabi mo, Lara?" he asked hoarsely. "Handa ka bang makipagsapalaran sa akin?"
