Ice Cold Heart

Four years ago, Chen Xiu vanished without a trace, making Qing Han think that what she did is unforgivable. To him, she is the woman who murdered his unborn child, deceived his family, and fled with stolen money. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, Qing Han has spent years searching, not to reunite, but to make her pay. Now she’s back. But Chen Xiu is no longer the fragile girl he once dismissed. She returns as a brilliant doctor, composed, distant, and fiercely protective of her three-year-old son. When Qing Han finally finds her, he bigins his revenge. He traps her, corners her, and forces her into his world again, his cruelty sharper than ever. He wants to torture her and make her life unbearable. Yet something is wrong. The woman before him no longer begs. No longer loves him. Then, he finds out the truth. She didn't steal from him, she didn't murder his child. She only ran away to prevent him from taking her child away. For the first time in his life, Qing Han feels fear. Because the woman he broke has already learned how to live without him. And winning her back may be the one battle he cannot control.

Si Michael Luna ay isang bilyonaryong abogado, malakas ang dating at malamig ang titig—parang pader na imposibleng maabot ng sinuman. Sa kanyang mga kamay, ang batas ay isang larong kanya nang napagtagumpayan.Siya ang bilyonaryong tagapagmana ng Luna Hotelier, isang marangyang hotel chain na itinayo ng kanyang pamilya, at may-ari ng Luna Law Firm, ang pinakaprestihiyosong law office sa bansa. Ngunit sa kabila ng yaman at kapangyarihan, si Michael ay tila baga natutulog na bulkan, puno ng galit at pagkamuhi sa pagmamahal, isang damdaming sinira ng isang taong kanyang minahal at pinagkatiwalaan nang lubusan. Si Michael ay may nakaraan na puno ng sakit—si Isabella Lopez, ang kanyang dating fiancée, ay nagtaksil sa kanya kasama ang kanyang pinakamatalik na kaibigang si Brent. Ang pagtataksil ay natuklasan ni Michael dalawang araw bago ang kanilang kasal, nang makita niya ang kanyang fiancée sa kompromisong sitwasyon sa loob ng condo nito. Labis na nasaktan, si Michael ay kumuha ng video bilang ebidensya ng kanilang pagtataksil at plano niyang isiwalat ito sa mismong araw ng kasal. Mula noon, isinumpa niya ang pag-ibig at naging mailap sa mga babae. Ngunit ang pusong matagal nang sarado sa pagmamahal ay biglang nayanig nang makilala niya si Jasmine Estrada, isang matapang at makatarungang prosecutor sa Pasig Police Department. Sa kabila ng kasikatan bilang “diyosa” ng departamento, si Jasmine ay may paninindigan at puso para sa mga naaapi—isang bagay na labis na humanga kay Michael. Sa bawat pagharap nila sa korte, sa bawat tunggalian ng prinsipyo at batas, unti-unting nabuksan ang pinto ng kanyang pusong matagal nang nakakandado. Magiging handa kaya si Michael na buksan ang kanyang puso para kay Jasmine, o patuloy siyang magiging bilanggo ng nakaraan? At si Jasmine, kaya ba niyang lumaban hanggang dulo sa pagmamahal niya sa lalaking puno ng sakit at galit?

When Elyssa's mom married Greg Almendarez - a wealthy businessman who lifted them from modest means into a world of luxury, their lives were irrevocably changed. But that glamour came with a shock she never saw coming: Theo, her new stepbrother - furious, arrogant, and spoiled who hated her for a reason she could never fathom. Their constant bickering ignited the moment they moved into the sprawling mansion. He teased her, mocked her, seized every chance to make her feel small, yet beneath every cutting word, a current of attraction pulled them so fiercely neither could look away. She'd catch fleeting glimpses of his muscular frame as he lifted weights or swam, each accidental view sparking a flutter of desire she quickly suppressed. Theo, in return, watched her from afar, his gaze lingering on how her loose clothes draped over her curvy body, finding her impossibly alluring. One night, a misunderstanding sent him into a rage; he burst into her room unannounced and froze when he saw her naked. The image burned into his memory, haunting his dreams and awakening a desire too intense to deny. The next time they fought, Theo's annoyance curdled into something else. Instead of lashing out, he pulled her close and drastically kissed her leaving her stunned. Then came the night when trust and passion collided, and she gave her virginity to the man she'd once hated above all others. Can they resist their feelings and attraction knowing they're stepsiblings? Can they hold back their lust and longing? And what happens if their parents find out? Will they fight for this forbidden pull, or surrender their hearts to spare their parents from hurt and pain?
