Mag-a-apply sana si Giselle bilang Domestic Helper sa Saudi Arabia. Pero pagdating niya sa Maynila, nadukutan siya, nawala ang mga papeles pati na rin ang perang inipon ng kanyang ama. Dahil insidenteng iyon, napadpad siya sa puder ni Raul Montoya—isang single dad na ubod ng gwapo, matipuno, at mayamang negosyante, ngunit ubod nga lang din ng sungit at palaging iritado. Magtatrabaho siya rito bilang nanny ng anak nito. Unang araw pa lang niya sa trabaho, naranasan na niya ang hagupit ng sama ng ugali nito. Tila ang init ng dugo nito sa kanya at mas lumala pa ito sa mga sumunod pang mga araw hanggang sa natuto siyang lumaban dito, dahilan para mas lalo itong magalit sa kanya. Ngunit hindi mapaalis-alis ni Raul si Giselle dahil napalapit na rito ang anak niya. Nagpatuloy ang bangayan ng dalawa hanggang sa may nangyaring hindi inaasahan—isang makasalanang gabi ang nangyari sa kanilang dalawa. Isang gabing hindi nila malilimutan. Isang gabing nagparanas sa kanila ng kakaibang init at sarap. Ito na kaya ang maging hudyat ng tuluyang pagbabago ng relasyon nilang dalawa?

Gianna thought she had already lost everything—her sight, her freedom, and the love she once believed in. But when her fiancé, the man she trusted most, sells her to a ruthless mafia boss to save himself, she realizes that true betrayal cuts far deeper than blindness. In a bid to save her mentally unstable mother, she has no choice but to brace up to her new life too. Raffaele Belucci is merciless, dangerous, and in complete control. To him, she is nothing more than a pawn in a power play, a contract-bound possession to be used as he pleases. Yet, despite her blurred vision, Gianna sees more than most—she sees the cracks in his cold exterior, the shadows of his past, and the fire that burns beneath his calculated touch. Thrown into a world of violence, deceit, and seduction, she has two choices: succumb to the chains of her new master or play the game and take back control of her fate. But the deeper she falls into Raffaele's deadly embrace, the more she realizes—he might be the only one capable of truly setting her free. He owns her body. But can he ever own her heart?

Set against the backdrop of Rome’s elite underworld, Blood & Dynasty follows Leonardo and Xena DeMarcus, two rulers who build an empire through calculated strategy, ruthless ambition, and an unbreakable partnership. From the moment they take control of Rome’s power structure, they face relentless opposition—from whispered betrayals to direct threats, including the relentless pursuit of their downfall by Elena Vasquez and later Dominic Renaud, a Geneva-based strategist who attempts to dismantle their empire from afar. Through violence, precision, and unwavering control, Leonardo and Xena eliminate every obstacle, ensuring Rome bends to their reign and never rises against them again. But their legacy is more than just dominance—it is permanence, and that permanence is solidified through the birth of their heir, Orion DeMarcus. Faced with the impossible balance between war and family, they fortify their estate, strengthen their dynasty, and raise Orion to be a ruler as fierce and tactical as they are, ensuring the DeMarcus name will never fade. As years pass, Orion rises, taking command of the empire, expanding beyond his parents’ reign, proving that everything Leonardo and Xena built was meant to last long beyond their rule. And in the final reflection, as Xena looks back on their time together, she understands one undeniable truth: Power may shift. Empires may evolve. But the love between her and Leonardo—the fire that shaped their dynasty—will never burn out.
