Habang nakaupo si Thalia Briones sa burol ng kanyang ina, nakaitim at tahimik lang siyang umiiyak. Wala siyang ibang kasama kundi ang lungkot at mga alaala. Samantalang ang asawa niya ay nasa isang birthday celebration. Hindi sa kanya kundi para sa first love nito. Gabi ng halakhak, ilaw, at mamahaling alak habang siya'y nagluluksa mag-isa. Pag-uwi niya ay hindi na siya nagsalita. Iniwan lang niya sa mesa ang divorce papers. Saka siya nagdesisyong ipalaglag ang batang nasa sinapupunan at lumayo nang tuluyan. Lumipas ang limang taon. Sa isang exclusive na auction event, isang babae ang lumitaw bilang punong auctioneer. Nakasuot siya ng backless na modern Filipiniana, may slit sa hita, at nakatakip ang mukha ng manipis na puting belo. Tumahimik ang buong hall. Lahat ng mata ay sa kanya lang nakatingin. Sa isang sulok ng silid naman ay nanigas si Isagani Castillo. Matagal na niyang hinahanap ang babaeng iniwan siyang walang paliwanag. Ngayon, nakaharap niya ulit ang isang anino ng nakaraan.

Hindi kailanman ginusto ni Selene na magkaroon ng kahit anong kinalaman kay Lucian Black — ang malamig at tusong CEO na may masalimuot na pagkahumaling sa kanyang ina, isang bangungot na binalot sa katahimikan at hindi kailanman binigyang-linaw. Buong buhay niyang iniiwasan ang anino ng lalaking iyon… hanggang sa isang internship sa kumpanya nito ang nagtulak sa kanya sa mismong gitna ng mundo nito. Pero may iba pang habol si Lucian. Ganti ang kanyang layunin. Ginagamit niya si Selene bilang kasangkapan — at gantimpala — sa isang mapanganib na laro kung saan bawat titig at bawal na haplos ay may kasamang panlilinlang. Para saktan ang babaeng minsang nagtaksil sa kanya, handa si Lucian na angkinin ang nag-iisang bagay na dapat ay pinrotektahan nito: ang sariling anak. Ngunit malayo si Selene sa inosenteng batang babae na inakala niyang madali niyang malilinlang. At habang unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan sa pagitan ng galit at pagnanasa, ang apoy ay mas lalo pang nagliliyab. Hindi kailanman bahagi ng plano ang pag-ibig. Mas lalo na ang magkaroon ng koneksiyon sa isang tao na minsan ng sumira sa buhay nila. Para kay Selene, si Lucian ang tao na hindi dapat ibigin. Para naman kay Lucian, si Selene ang bagay na gagamitin niya para gumanti. Pero sa bandang huli, ito pa rin ba ang kanilang gusto? O tunay na pag-ibig ang siyang mabubuo?

Kau bilang cinta! Ketika ibumu menyebutku mandul, Ibumu memintamu untuk mendua. Tapi ketika kenyataan itu berbalik? Padahal aku hanya minta sebuah kesabaran. Tapi kamu tega berbohong di belakangku. Itu bukan cinta!

Story Of a Mysterious Professor, a girl full of life and Mr Stranger. **** "Now you'll just follow my command." As he told me, I nodded my head meekly, sitting on the desk. "Professor wants his favourite student to stand up and come to him." As he commanded, I stood up and sauntered to him. My heartbeat is accelerating with every step which I'm taking toward him. "Now remove your top for your professor, my favourite student." As he ordered, I flushed, moving my eyelashes down. "Do it fast, Princess. I'm waiting." As he spoke, I moved my eyes up at him shyly. He pointed his finger at my top. I held the hem of my green top and pulled it over my head, gazing at his handsome face sheepishly. "Now give it to me." As he said, I instantly gave my top to him, and he inhaled my scent from the top, closing his eyes. "Your scent is exquisite, Princess." He whispered after opening his eyes. He kept my top on the table. "Now this." He pointed his finger at my bra, asking me take it off. I blushed hard before taking my hands behind and unlocking it. This is really increasing my excitement. As I removed it, he moved his eyes down at my twins and then up at me. "You're really beautiful, Princess." He complimented me, touching my heart. He pulled out his hand, and I gave my bra to him. Then like this, I pulled out my jeans and undies too and gave them to him. This is arousing my desires more. He is gazing at my body like he's gazing at the stars. "I like you like this. You are so beautiful, Princess. For me, your body is perfect from every corner." I smiled at him.

WE'RE BACK! Yes, your favorite cousins are back at it again, but this time it ain't about me. So, buckle up and grab your wine glasses, because it's gonna be crazy! Mina’s POV: Wait a damn minute. Am I in hell? Because if I am, I need to speak to HR. I didn't even get a chance to plead my case, give a reference or something. I'm about to start freaking out because, I'm not a “go to hell” and mean it type of person. I can't do heat for five minutes let alone an eternity. I feel like giving my life to save a baby and a man should have gotten me at least joint visitation six months in heaven and six months in hell. “Mina, are you awake?” I heard the voice quietly say next to my ear. I tried opening my eyes, but it felt like I had sand in them. I decided to try speaking, but only let out something that sounded like a sick animal. "Wait right there let me get you some water.” I heard a voice whisper again. Who the hell is that? I have heard that voice before but couldn't figure out who the hell it was. “! We need to move; they've found us.” The voice came again. Wait, what? Who the hell are they? I tried opening my eyes again, this time I managed to get them open enough to see the figure picking me up bridal style. Then the stranger turned his head to look directly in my eyes and I knew instantly who it was. “Blaze? You gotta be shitting me.” I said, obviously shocked. “Hey, can we join the party? I hope you are serving food because we are famished.” I heard a man say.
