Hands Down

For years, Lira lived a simple life in the province—until a stranger came and turned her world upside down. Her grandmother. A Montenegro. Biglang nagbago ang lahat. She was offered a life of wealth and privilege, but in exchange, she had to leave everything behind and live with a family she never knew. On her way to Manila, fate played a cruel trick. Naiwan siya sa isang stopover—walang pera, walang gamit, walang paraan para makarating sa bagong buhay niya. Then she meets him. A stranger. Dark. Dangerous. Powerful. "Nothing in this world is free," he tells her. "If I help you… what will you give me in return?" She has nothing. Except herself. One night. One mistake. One secret that can never be spoken. Kinabukasan, naghiwalay silang parang estranghero. Akala niya tapos na ang bangungot. But when she finally steps inside the Montenegro estate, her world shatters. Because he is there. Xavier Montenegro. The man who stole her innocence. The man she must now call "uncle." But something feels… off. Their gazes hold too much tension. Their connection is too intense. And deep down, something tells her—something tells him—that they were never meant to be family. Their secret is dangerous. Their attraction is forbidden. Pero habang pilit nilang nilalabanan ang nararamdaman, lalo lang silang nauubos. And when the truth finally comes to light, Lira will have to ask herself: Was that night truly a mistake? Or was it only the beginning of something far more dangerous?

Three years ago, on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, Lynell Gibbs was left completely broken. It was her 20th birthday — a day she had been so excited for — but instead of candles and wishes, she got heartbreak. Shaun Hernandez, the guy she loved with all her heart, broke up with her. No fight, no warning. Just a simple, cold explanation: “Nagising na lang daw siya at narealize na hindi na niya ito mahal.” Those words haunted her for years. And no matter how strong she tried to be, the pain left a scar too deep to forget. But she survived. She stood up, rebuilt herself piece by piece, and slowly became the woman she never thought she could be — stronger, wiser, and even more beautiful. Gone was the naïve girl who gave everything to someone who didn’t deserve her. She had learned her lesson. She moved forward and opened her heart again. That’s when Martin came into her life — kind, respectful, and everything Shaun wasn’t. For the first time, she felt safe. Finally, she believed she had healed. Until one unexpected announcement shattered her peace. Their company was under new management. At first, she didn’t think much of it — change was normal. But everything came crashing down the moment she heard the name of their new CEO. Shaun Hernandez. The same man who once tore her apart... was now her boss.

Tahimik ang buhay ni Alexandra Cruz—isang working student na mas piniling magbanat ng buto, magtinda ng balut, at alagaan ang ama kaysa umasa sa kahit kanino. Para sa kanya, malinaw ang direksyon ng buhay: magsikap, magtiis, at huwag umasa sa mga pangakong madaling mabasag. Samantala, si Diego ay kabaligtaran niya—isang lalaking mayaman, sanay sa luho, at handa nang mag-settle down para sa babaeng mahal niya. Isang proposal ang dapat magtatatak ng bagong yugto ng kanyang buhay… hanggang sa hindi sumipot ang babaeng pinili niyang pakasalan. Sa gitna ng galit, lungkot, at pagkalasing ng damdamin, isang impulsive na desisyon ang ginawa ni Diego—isang publikong proposal sa isang estranghera na hindi niya kilala. Isang alok na hindi dapat tinanggap, at isang kasunduang nagsimula sa maling dahilan.. Isang lalaki na desperadong ayusin ang wasak niyang mundo. Isang babaeng ayaw madamay sa problemang hindi kanya. Ngunit paano kung ang isang maling simula ay humantong sa isang relasyong pilit na pinaninindigan? Hanggang saan ang kaya nilang tiisin sa isang kasal na nagsimula sa kasinungalingan? At sa gitna ng isang kakaibang proposal, matutunan kaya nilang piliin kung alin ang mas mahalaga—ang planadong buhay, o ang pag-ibig na hindi nila inaasahan?

(SSPG WARNING, Read at your own risk!) What if one day you discovered that your father sold you to a handsome billionaire who doesn't know how to love? That all he needs from you is your body? Piere Monecidad frowned as he stared at the woman, Lumi Torinio, who was sold by her own father to pay off his debts and gambling addiction for twenty million. "Don't lecture me about love, Lumi," Piere said firmly, gazing dispassionately at the innocent face of Lumi. "It's written in the contract that I'm only interested in your body, and that's all you're here for. Don’t you dare cross the line by trying to teach me how to love someone." Piere grasped Lumi's small face, his green eyes uninterestedly staring into her anxious gaze. "Don't try to teach me to love you. Because what you want will never happen, do you understand me?" He tightened his grip on Lumi's jaw before bending down and kissing her lips, leaving Lumi stunned. "Answer me," Piere demanded firmly. "P-Piere—" "Give me the answer I want, Lumi. Stop calling my name," he commanded with authority. "I-I understand, Piere," Lumi answered nervously, causing Piere to smirk and plant light kisses on her lips.
