Epitome Artinya

I am Maybelline Mia Park. Actually hindi ko alam kung bakit Maybelline ang unang pangalan ko, siguro big fan ang Mommy ko ng Maybelline make-up o baka naman uso talaga ang Maybelline products o di kaya wala lang talagang ibang maisip ang parents ko ng magandang pangalan. I really hate being called Maybelline dahil hindi naman ako mukhanag lipstick o face powder o eyeshadow o kung ano ano pa mang make-up na meron sila. Kung tinatanong ng iba ang pangalan ko, sinasabi ko lang "Mia Park." Short and decent. I am the epitome of clumsiness. Kahit ano ang gawin ko hindi ako ume-excel. Kahit saan ako magpunta palagi akong nadidisgrasya. Not actually disgrasya katulad ng nasagasaan o kaya nahulog sa building. Sa awa ng Panginoon hindi pa nangyari sa'kin ang ganun ka lalang sakuna. Maliit na disgrasya lang naman kagaya ng nadudulas, nahuhulog sa canal, mabuhusan ng tubig, natapunan ng pagkain. Can you still consider it small accidents? Kakambal ko na siguro ang .malas'. Sanay nadin naman ako sa mga hindi magandang nangyayari sa'kin sa pang araw-araw. Uggh!! ..but so much for that. Ever since nakita 'tong si Mr. Handsome and Mr. Hot sa mall nong gumala kami with my friends, hindi na ako napakali kaya hinanap ko talaga siya. Sinuyod ko ang buong town para lang malaman kung anong pangalan niya, san siya nakatira at sang school siya pumapasok. Well, di naman ako nabigo at nalaman ko din ang mga impormasyong gusto kong malaman. Then guess what? I transferred to livingstone Univeristy kung san siya nag-aaral ofcourse with my friends. Hindi naman din kasi sila magpapaiwan. I did everything para lang mapansin niya ako.

"You're mine, Celestine. No one could ever have you other than me, remember that. You're already married to me. That means you're forever stuck to the man you called a devil. You're forever stuck in the devil's arms, Celestine. With no other way out, but death." *** Holy Celestine Marquez is the epitome of beauty, kindness, and brain. She was dubbed to be an angel in her university, not just because of her face, but because of her attitude. Kahit yata lamok ay hindi nito kayang patayin. Even her father thought that she's too innocent for this world, kaya naman nang sabihin ni Holy na gusto niyang maging madre pagkatapos niyang mag-kolehiyo ay hindi na siya pinigilan pa ng kaniyang Ama. Eros Hunter Salvatore is a devil himself. A successful billionaire na talagang hinahabol ng mga kababaihan. Not only that, he's also a know drag racer na siyang dahilan kung bakit mas lalong humahaba ang pila sa kaniya. Pero wala ni-isang babae ang nakalapit sa kaniya ng sobra lalo na at napaka-ikli lang pasensiya niya at madalas ay parang bulkang nag-aalburoto. Well, he wouldn't be called a devil for nothing. Paano kung mag-tagpo ang landas ng dalawang taong parehong magka-ibang magka-iba nang hindi nila inaakalang pareho? Paano kung mapilitan si Holy na pumirma ng isang kontrata na inilahad ni Eros upang mabayaran ang pagkaka-utang ng kaniyang kapatid rito? Mapipigilan pa kaya ni Eros si Holy sa pagpasok nito sa kumbento? Will it be possible for love to grow? Paano kung... isang malaking kasinungalingan lang pala ang lahat? Kakayanin kaya ni Holy ang mga sekretong malalaman niya? Love, betrayal, and a broken heart. Those are just one of the things that you'll experience once you fall in love. Are you still willing to be stuck in the devil's... arms?

I, Calista Summers, have been in a secret relationship with Vernon Grayson, the boss of the biggest mafia organization in Merdico for five years. To others, Vernon is the epitome of a perfect gentleman, cold yet aloof, attractive yet abstaining from women. With a net worth in the tens of billions, he holds a lot of power. He has also kept himself scandal-free since the start of time. However, not many know that I am his only exception. I am the team captain of the cheerleading squad at Duke City College. I am known to be brave, straightforward, and passionate about everything. Vernon is a whole decade older than I am. He is mature and dangerous, but those are the exact qualities that draw me to him every time. He always lets me rest my head in his lap while in the back of his limited-edition Rolls-Royce, kisses every inch of my body before the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, and takes my breath away in hidden toilet cubicles at major public charity galas. And every time, he's so gentle with me that I keep mistaking his doting on me as his love for me. Yet, he can also get cruel and merciless with me, making me beg and whine at his mercy. As for me, I was really falling for him because Vernon never lets any other woman get close to him. He chooses me every single time, and I believe that's what true love is. However, things change when his first love, Samara Horton, returns from Urop. Vernon starts showing me his cold, aloof side that leaves no room for argument. He stops being gentle with me, his mask falls away to reveal his true colors, and he no longer treats me as his equal who shares his world. At that moment, I finally realize that I am nothing more than a dirty secret he needs to keep hidden from the rest of the world. I am but a pawn that he can easily cast away at his convenience. I choose to put an end to our secret relationship altogether. I leave, taking nothing of his with me except for the baby in my womb. The baby is his heir, but he doesn't even know that he exists.
