Curiosity Chronicles

Ako si Martin Del Rivas. Ang mga tao sa labas ay nakikita ako bilang perpektong senador, ang presidente sa hinaharap, ang bachelor na kinakikiligan ng bansa. Ang mga ngiti nila, ang pagpupuri sa akin… lahat ay pekeng salamin. Sa loob, ako ay umiiyak sa dilim na hindi nila nakikita, umiiyak sa pagkawala na hindi nila mauunawaan. Hindi nila alam na may isang pintuan sa mansion ko na hindi dapat buksan. At may isang babae akong sinasambit sa bawat gabi,na hindi lamang alaala ng trahedya, kundi dahilan ng lahat ng aking galit. Si Savanna ang naging pugad ng aking pagkawasak, ang sentro ng bawat galit , bawat obsesyon na hindi ko matakasan. Hindi ko siya kinuha dahil gusto ko. Kinuha ko siya dahil kailangan kong itama ang mundo na pinabayaan niya at sa bawat araw na siya ay nakadapa sa harap ko, bawat luha na hindi niya dapat ipapakita, lalo akong nagiging alipin ng sarili kong galit. Akala niya libreng buhay ang kanyang makakamtan sa mansion ko. Akala niya kalayaan ang makikita niya sa bawat galaw ko. Pero mali siya. Ako ang may hawak, hindi lang ng katawan niya, kundi pati ng kanyang hininga, ng bawat takot at galit na sinusupil niya sa loob. At kahit nararamdaman ko ang pagbabago sa puso ko, kahit ang galit ay nagiging pangungulila, alam kong hindi ko siya kayang bitawan. Hindi ko siya kayang talikuran. Siya ang dahilan ng aking pagkawasak, at siya rin ang dahilan ng aking pagbangon. At sa bawat gabing ako ay mag isa, habang iniisip ang mga nagdaang trahedya, naiintindihan ko na ang laban na ito, ang pagmamahal at poot, ang obsesyon at pagkawasak ay hindi matatapos. Hindi kailanman. Sapagkat sa kanya ko naramdaman ang ganap na kontrol, at sa kanya ko rin naramdaman ang ganap na kawalan ng kapangyarihan.

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.

Isang nurse. Isang imperyo. Isang kasal na pinirmahan sa dugo. Hindi kailanman hinangad ni Stefanie Rivera ang kapangyarihan—pero isang malupit na kasunduan ang nagtulak sa kanya bilang tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking airline empire sa Asya… at mortal na kaaway ng sinumang nais maagaw ito. Si Adrian Zubiri—malamig, matalino, at sugatan ng nakaraan—siya dapat sana ang tunay na tagapagmana. Pero ngayon, napilitan siyang pakasalan ang babaeng pinaka-kinamumuhian niya para mabawi ang lahat. Ang plano niya? Wasakin siya. Ipahiya siya. Durugin siya. Ngunit hindi marunong yumuko si Stefanie. Lumalaban siya—at ang apoy niya’y lalo lang nagiging tukso kay Adrian. Mula sa kasunduang puno ng galit, sumiklab ang isang mapanganib na laro ng pagnanasa. At sa gitna ng mga kaaway, iskandalo, at nag-aalab na damdamin, pipili si Adrian: protektahan ang imperyo… o ang babaeng kailanman ay hindi dapat naging kanya. Sa mundong ang kapangyarihan, ang pera at ang pag-ibig ay kahinaan— Mas ligtas ang galit. Pero bakit siya nauuhaw sa babaeng puwedeng tuluyang sumira sa kanya? "She was supposed to be his punishment. He was supposed to be her enemy. But in a war between hate and love—only the heart can decide who wins"
