Isang Punong Kahoy By Jose Corazon De Jesus

"Mahal ko ang pamangkin mo dati." "At ngayon, akin ka na. Nilaro niya ang puso mo, pero ako? Wawasakin ko kahit sino para sa'yo." Hindi kailanman inakala ni Ysabel na ang kanyang pagluha dahil sa isang sirang relasyon ay magiging daan upang mapasakamay siya ng pinakamapangahas at pinakamakapangyarihang lalaki sa buhay ng ex niya. Ang sariling tiyuhin nitong si Leonardo Verano. Tahimik. Malamig. Pero nakakabaliw kung tumingin. Inalok siya ng kasal nito. Proteksyon. Kayamanan. Lahat ng nawala sa kanya, ibinalik, kapalit ng sarili niya. Pero ang magmahal kay Leonardo ay may kasamang kondisyon. At ang unang batas? Bawal mong banggitin ang pangalan ng pamangkin niya, habang buhay.

Lauren Cordelia "Lia" worked as a housekeeper in Aldridge Hotel and Resort in Buenavista, a coastal town where she grew up. Nagawa niyang huminto sa pag-aaral nang isang taon bago mag kolehiyo para makapag-ipon dahil malaki ang sasahurin niya sa trabaho. She never thought that her young heart would fall in love with their new general manager, Evander Aldridge, despite his stern and elusive demeanor towards her. Hindi naman siya umasa na masusuklian ang nararamdaman niya dahil sa layo ng agwat ng estado nila sa buhay but she was wrong because he reciprocated her feelings for him! But their happiness came to an end. Lia left Buenavista without a word carrying his child in her womb and did not show up to Evander again. At ang liit nga ng mundo. Muli silang nagkita dahil ito pala ang golden boy ng lolo niyang mayaman. She had no choice but to see him every day since she became his temporary secretary for three months, and he was the only one who could teach her about the company. Evander is mad at her for leaving him, and she won't be able to escape the punishment of the billionaire she hurt.

Sa angking kagandahan ni Berry ay marami sa kanya ang nagkakagusto o nahuhumaling. Sa edad niyang bente dos ay simpleng inosente pa rin siya dahil hindi pa siya nakaranas magkaroon ng kasintahan. Nang maulila si Berry sa mga nag ampon sa kanya ay nangarap na siyang makarating ng Maynila upang hanapin ang kanyang tunay na ina, kaya mabilis na nahikayat si Berry ng bagong kakilala ng alukin siyang makapagtrabaho sa Maynila at agad niyang sinunggaban ang oportunidad na iyon ng hindi na nagdalawang isip pa. Pagkarating sa Maynila ay ibinenta naman siya ng recruiter niya sa may ari ng isang sikat na night club na ang mga costumer ay mga mayayaman.

Na love at first sight ang binata sa dalaga kaya nais niyang tulungan si Berry na makaalis agad sa club. Ngunit hindi iyon naging madali para kay Jayden, dahil sa pinagkaguluhan ang kagandahan ng dalaga ay ipina-auction si Berry ng may ari ng club at na bid ang dalaga sa napakalaking halaga. 20 Million pesos ang naging last bid ng bidder mapasakanya lang ang kaakit-kaakit na si Berry Marasigan.
