En la noche de Navidad, mis padres seguían trabajando afuera, dejándome sola otra vez en casa. Pensando en que así había sido durante veinte años, ya no quería pasar sola y fría otra Navidad, así que tomé una torta navideña y fui a buscarlos. Para mi sorpresa, aquellos mismos padres que siempre decían que trabajaban sin descanso, bajaron de un carro de lujo, abrazando a un chico de mi edad, riéndose y charlando como si nada, camino a un restaurante carísimo. —Papá, mamá, ¿están seguros de que no pasa nada dejando a Estelita solita en casa? Mi mamá respondió sin darle importancia: —No importa, ya está acostumbrada. Mi papá, como si nada, dijo: —Ella no puede compararse contigo, tú eres nuestro tesoro. Me di la vuelta y me fui. Me estaban mintiendo diciendo que estaban pobres, esta vez no quiero su compañía ni un poco.

“Love.” “Boobae.” “Jes?..” It feels like a reunion for Nick, George, Scarlett, and Jessica. After five years, muli silang nagkita. Ngunit sa pagkakataong ito, para silang estrangherong apat. Pare-parehong kumunot ang noo nina Nick, George, at Scarlett nang titigan nila ang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica. She is not Jessica, bulong nila sa sarili. Ibang-iba siya sa Jessica na kilala nila. Ang babaeng nasa harap nila ay isang sophisticated woman with a strong aura. The way she dresses, halos nipple na lang ang natatakpan. Malayong-malayo sa dating Jessica. Hindi ganito si Jessica. Mahinhin siya, mahiyain, mabait, maunawain. Pero ang babae sa harap nila ngayon ay puno ng kumpiyansa sa sarili. Ang isang titig pa lang niya ay parang kutsilyong gustong dumurog sa'yo. Yes, gano’n na gano’n ang kanyang aura. Matapang. Hindi nagpapa-api. Ang pag-asa ng tatlong magkakaibigan ay tila naglaho. Dahil si Audrey Castellan ay hindi kailanman magiging si Jessica. Ang pinakamamahal nilang si Jessica… ay limang taon nang patay. Maghihilom na kaya ang puso nilang sugatan mula sa matinding pagsisisi sa sarili, sa muling paglitaw ng isang babaeng kamukhang-kamukha ni Jessica? May pag-asa bang muling liliwanag ang madilim nilang mundo… dahil kay Audrey Castellan? Malalaman natin 'yan sa Book 2 ng Unstoppable Desire: Revelation and Road to Happiness.

Anak sa pagkadalaga. Iniwan ng ina at lumaki sa poder ng kanyang lola. Iyan ang buhay ni Isabela Siason. Lumaking konserbatibo at puno ng mga pangaral, si Isabela ay sanay mamuhay nang simple at may takot sa Diyos. Ngunit isang hindi inaasahang pangyayari ang magpapabago sa lahat. Napilitan siyang tumira kasama ang kanyang ina, ang babaeng matagal na niyang hindi nakita at halos hindi na niya kilala. Akala ni Isabela, magiging madali lang ito. Ngunit nagkamali siya. Dahil sa loob ng marangyang mansion na tinitirhan ng kanyang ina, naroon din ang lalaking magpapayanig sa tahimik niyang mundo, ang asawa ng kanyang ina. Si Liam o mas kilalang si William Laurell. Isang batang billionaryo, kabaligtaran ng inaakala niyang isa itong matandang mayaman ,malapit nang mamatay. Ang titig niya’y parang apoy, mainit, mapangahas, at handang tumupok sa kanila pareho. Sa bawat paglapit nito, dama ni Isabela ang init na gumagapang sa kanyang balat, ang panginginig ng damdaming matagal nang nakatago. May kung anong puwersang humihila sa kanya palapit, kahit alam niyang mali. Paano niya lalabanan ang tukso at ang apoy ng pagnanasa na unti-unting nilalamon ang kanyang puso’t isipan? Pag-ibig nga ba ito… o isang ipinagbabawal na pagnanasa? At kung totoo man na “kung ano ang puno, siya rin ang bunga,” handa ba siyang tanggapin na baka hindi nga siya naiiba sa kinamumuhian niyang ina, ang babaeng minsang tinalikuran ang tama para sa bawal na pag-ibig?

Like cats and dogs—that’s how Nick and Jessica’s relationship was. Jessica became Nick’s temporary secretary because his male secretary had to take a leave. Nick was allergic to female secretaries, believing that none of them were trustworthy and that they all had hidden agendas. That’s why he never hired a female secretary. But this time, he had no choice—he couldn’t handle everything on his own without a secretary. And Jessica was the only one available, personally trusted by his best friend, Andrei. Even though he was "allergic," he had to endure it—after all, it was only for three days. But how could he possibly endure it when, in less than a day, she was already making a mess of things? She was only proving his belief that female secretaries were unreliable. And how could Jessica prove that she was a professional and skilled secretary if her temporary boss—grumpy and seemingly carrying the weight of the world—had already judged her without giving her a chance? How long could they put up with each other? And could love possibly bloom when, from the very beginning, they already had the worst impression of one another?

Sa ating buhay minsan tayong nakakapagdesisyon ng hindi tama dahil sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa ating buhay. Ngunit, minsan sa bawat maling desisyon na ating binibitawan merong mabuting kinakahinatnan. Katulad na lamang ng desisyon ni Annie na dalhin ang anak ng isang mayamang nilalang na walang ibang alam gawin kundi ang magsungit. Meron itong mabuti at masamang naidulot sa buhay niya pero ito ang isang desisyon niya na kailanman ay hinding hindi niya pagsisisihan.

I woke up naked beside a man I hadn’t seen in eight years. Before noon, the scandal was everywhere. By noon, I’d lost my position as CEO, my name, and my marriage. But the worst betrayal wasn’t the headlines. It wasn’t walking in on my husband and my best friend planning my downfall and mocking me. It was finding out the man I loved, my sweetheart of five years, made me a surrogate without my knowledge. The twins I'd been carrying for seven months weren't mine. But it failed to break me. It only made me stronger. After all, I wasn't just a mother—I was a CEO.

I had just gotten hospitalization prior to my operation when my wife told me she was going on an urgent business trip, leaving me and our one-year-old daughter behind. Two days later, her childhood sweetheart proudly posted a family photo on social media with a caption that said: “Took a picture of our happy family of three on our trip!” I looked at my wife who was smiling tenderly in the picture and commented, “?” My wife immediately called and berated me, “He's a single father who doesn’t have a wife to help take care of his child! All I did was take a picture with them, what are you being so defensive about?” That same evening, her childhood sweetheart posted a picture of a million-dollar dowry given to him with the caption: “After we took the picture, she insisted on giving me this as a dowry.” I knew my wife gave it to him to appease him. But this time, I was going to leave her for good.
