Cipher Codes Novels & Stories

10 years have passed and she got everything, so they said. A face that no one could ever deny its beauty, a body that makes men go crazy and a successful career in the legal profession. She has it all, except him- the man she so dearly loved but has to let go of for her to get all these things she has now. Cattaleya Rillera really thought then that it would be worth it. Afterall, she was only 17 at that time when an elderly couple chose her to be their adoptee. Hindi niya inakalang may magkakagustong ampunin pa siya dahil sa edad niya. When she reached the age of 16, hindi na siya nangarap pang may magkakainteres sa kaniyang maging parte ng kanilang pamilya dahil isang taon na lamang ay aalis na siya ng bahay-ampunan dahil magiging isang ganap na siyang maygulang. At ngayong may gusto siyang ampunin, hindi niya papalampasin. This is all she ever wanted. Lahat naman sila doon sa bahay-ampunan. Thus, she consented to such an adoption even if she would have to break her promise to the boy she loves- Caleb Sanchez- the boy she promised to marry when she left the orphanage. Isa ding orphan na naunang umalis ng orphanage dahil mas matanda ito sa kanya ng 2 years. Ang taong nangakong magsisikap para makapag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang pagsasama sa oras na umalis siya sa bahay-ampunan. Now that she has finally achieved the success of her chosen career, she thinks it's time to locate him. And if she succeeded, she could only pray that he was still single and that he would find it in his heart to forgive her.

Lauren Jade Miller is not built to follow rules. A brilliant but cynical architecture student surviving on a razor-thin academic scholarship, she views design as a tool for survival, not ego. When she publicly challenges the university's newest, most fiercely intimidating Associate Professor during a lecture, she expects a failing grade. Instead, she sparks a dangerous intellectual rivalry. Dr. Anne Clair Montgomery has fought too hard to let anything compromise her clinical, meticulously structured life. She is elegant, highly private, and unyielding. But when a funding crisis threatens Lauren’s education, Anne recognizes the younger woman's raw genius and selects her as her private Research Assistant. Bound together by blueprints, architectural archives, and forced late-night collaborations, the rigid lines separating professor and student begin to blur. Behind the closed doors of Anne's dimly lit office, academic debates transform into an undeniable, electric attraction. But in a world governed by strict university grids and ethical codes, crossing the line comes with a devastating cost. When a jealous classmate threatens to expose their hidden romance, both women are forced to face a brutal structural flaw: to save Lauren's future, Anne might have to permanently tear down the life she spent decades building.

Sa mundong pinatatakbo ng digital codes at madugong transaksyon, si Laxus ang hari. Isang makapangyarihang CEO sa umaga, at isang malupit na Mafia Boss sa gabi. He is the powerful Mafia Boss of the London clan, bagama’t may lahi siyang Pilipino at lumaki dito sa pinas. Hawak niya ang lahat—yaman, koneksyon, at ang buhay ng sinumang babangga sa kanya." Ngunit may isang 'system' siyang hindi kayang kontrolin nang buo: si Amara." Si Amara ang henyo sa likod ng mga firewall ni Laxus. Bilang kanyang Elite Hacker at Personal Developer, siya ang nakakakita sa lahat ng duming ibinaon ni Laxus sa ilalim ng mga encrypted files. She holds the 'Kill Switch'—ang mga impormasyong sapat upang maipakulong ang kanyang boss habambuhay. Gusto nang tumakas ni Amara. Gusto na niyang iwan ang madilim na mundong ito. Ngunit sa ilalim ng kumpas ni Laxus, ang pag-alis ay katumbas ng pagtataksil. At sa mundo ng Mafia, ang pagtataksil ay binabayaran ng dugo. Gagamitin ni Laxus ang lahat ng kanyang kapangyarihan upang panatilihin ang dalaga sa loob ng kanyang 'Golden Cage.' Pero habang sinusubukan ni Amara na i-bypass ang puso ng kanyang boss, unti-unti siyang nahuhulog sa bitag ng isang lalaking handang pumatay—at handang mamatay—para lamang manatili siya sa tabi nito. Sino ang unang bibigay? Ang babaeng may hawak ng ebidensyang makakasira sa kanya, o ang lalakeng handang sunugin ang mundo para lang sa kanya?
