Inosente. Birhen. Santo. Ilan lamang iyan sa mga katangiang mayroon si Coreen kaya naman madalas siyang pagkaisahan ng mga tao sa paligid niya. Nang pagbintangang kabit ng kaniyang amo ay walang-awang pinatalsik sa trabaho at laglag ang balikat at nakayukong lulugo-lugong naglakad sa kalsada. Dahil sa tadhana ay natanggap siya sa isang bagong trabahong hindi niya inakalang papasukan; ang maging maid ng isang arogante, barumbado, bastos at masungit na si Royce Sullivan dahil na rin sa pangakong malaking sahod. Isang misteryosong lalaki na ayaw ng human contact at literal na nagtayo ng isang malaking salamin sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Ngunit bakit nga naman hindi lalaki ang sahod kung sa unang araw pa lamang ay halos humiwalay na ang kaluluwa niya sa inis sa binata? Idagdag pa na sinamantala ni Royce ang kaniyang kahinaan at inalok siya ng isang deal para mabayaran ang operasyon ng kaniyang kapatid. Pero paano kung madarang siya? Paano kung magustuhan niya ang ginagawa? Paano kung... maging pangahas siyang hawakan ang binata at tawirin ang espasyo na naghihiwalay sa kanila? Ang kaniyang ka-inosentehan kapalit ng malaking halagang hindi niya matatanggihan. Puri, dangal at yamang itinataglay ay iaalay ba sa lalaking ni hindi siya man lamang magawang hawakan nang hindi nakasuot ng gwantes?

"Akala ko ba contract marriage lang ang kasal natin? Bakit sinasabi mong mahal mo ako?" Ngumiti si Mattheus, niyakap si Gianne at hinalikan siya sa labi. "Well, wife. Para sa'yo, contract marriage lang 'to. Pero para sa'kin, love deal 'to." _____ Sa halip na proposal ang sumalubong kay Gianne, panloloko ng boyfriend niyang si Calix at ng bestfriend niya mismo ang nakita niya sa cellphone ng lalaki. Sa sobrang sakit ng kalooban, nakipaghiwalay siya. Sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, nakilala niya si Mattheus—isang gwapo at mayamang lalaki na tumulong sa kanya noong manakawan siya.

Sinunod ni Gianne ang kasunduan at ginampanan ang papel bilang contract wife. Pero isang araw, sinabi ni Mattheus ang hindi niya inaasahan—mahal na siya nito. At saka naman biglang bumalik si Calix, humihingi ng pangalawang pagkakataon. Sino ang pipiliin niya?

A love so beautiful, she dreamt of a future with a man that will capture her heart but all that changed when she met him... The way his eyes will always stare at her like he could see through her soul made her restless. The way he's always holding her closely to his chest, the way his voice sends shivers down her skin makes her want to run far away from him... But, he would stop at nothing until she become his, he would make her his queen and she is king... "I hate this feeling, stop this!" "You have to get used to this, Penelope. Get used to being my woman. You belong to me, solely to me and no one else...

I died the night I caught my husband cheating—with my sister. My life ended with blood on my lips and a baby in my womb. But fate gave me a second chance. I woke up five years in the past, right before I married the wrong man. Now I won’t be sweet. I won’t be kind. I will protect my unborn baby, and I will destroy those who betrayed me. But I never expected him—the cold, rich, dangerous CEO who once ignored me—now he’s chasing me, touching me, claiming me like I belong to him. He says I’m his obsession. His future. His wife. But I have secrets, and I have revenge to serve. Will love ruin my plans… or save my soul?

Serina Liamzon lives a double life. By day, she's the picture of perfection—the obedient daughter, the straight-A student, the "good girl" clawing for her mother's cold approval. But by night, she becomes Zenna—confident, magnetic, untouchable. A persona whispered about on campus, desired by many, truly known by no one. Her college plan was simple: ace every class, stay out of trouble, and get out. But when revenge takes the form of Cloud Montesilva—the boy who once ruined everything for her—Serina turns to seduction. To keep her cover, she ropes in Azen Alcaraz, campus heartthrob and notorious flirt, into a fake relationship that spirals faster than she ever intended. Now tangled in a dangerous web of lies, lust, and longing, Serina must confront the truth: Can she play the game without losing herself? Or will her heart be the first casualty?

Her past was stolen. Her future is on the line. And her heart is caught between two men. Kathryna returns after five years of hiding, determined to take down the man she believes killed her family. Adrian, wealthy, ruthless, untouchable. Getting close to him is easy. Keeping her emotions buried is impossible. Every moment with him makes her question the story she’s carried for years. But then Damian, the man she once trusted, returns with his own claims about Adrian’s guilt. Now Kathryna is trapped in a deadly triangle of revenge, forbidden desire, and betrayal. One of them is lying. One of them holds the truth. And the wrong choice could cost her more than her life, it could cost her heart.

Malam ini, aku merasakan suasana yang berbeda, Resah yang hinggap serupa ketakutan, Gelap ini menyambut seperti mantra, Menyerap rasa pada kegundahan yang aku rasakan. Di ujung malam ada suara seperti bisikan, Memanggilku yang meringkuk ketakutan, "Nadja...." Aku tetap diam, di dalam kamar yang kini terasa pengap. Udara tetiba terasa hilang, Aku semakin gemetaran. Ada yang datang! Seperti kilat yang menyambar kegelapan! Aku menjerit histeris! Menggapai apa yang bisa menggenggam ketakutanku! "Nadja, jangan takut. Ini aku yang datang menjemputmu" Kerjapan mataku seperti dihipnotis, Ketakutanku perlahan lenyap seperti bayangan yang ditelan gelap. Rupanya dia, di sana berdiri membelakangi rembulan. Dengan jubah hitamnya yang berkibar angkuh! Satu sosok yang memberiku kehidupan yang berbeda. Yang menenggelamkan aku dalam asmara yang terlarang. Cinta yang seharusnya kubuang. Namun, nyatanya tetap kupertahankan.
