It Is Ten O'clock

An aspiring journalist with a strong sense of justice. A reluctant mafia heir. And a mystery box that binds them. Twenty years ago, Nicolette Meyers witnessed the brutality of the Sticks mafia family. Twenty years later, she made it her mission to bring them down using her pen name ‘Nico Sticks’. Unfortunately, her editor stole her idea and took all the benefits before firing her. And her only consolation was a mystery box from a fan. When a blind, homeless man offered her bank cards in exchange of being her tenant, she accepted the offer not realizing he is the real ‘Nico Sticks’ – the newly-crowned heir of the Sticks family. Steffan Miller was a loyal foot soldier for the mafia until he was appointed to become the head. When his box was stolen and was sent to Nicolette, he pretended to be homeless to search for it. When the police force learned the name of the new mafia leader, it became a cat and mouse chase between them and the police force with Nicolette becoming the perfect patsy for Steffan’s operations. When strong attraction and forbidden emotions got mixed in the mission, does betrayal taste sweeter when it comes from the man you love?

My son just had surgery. I'm sitting by his bedside in the hospital when I come across a post online. "What's the worst thing you've ever done?" One anonymous comment stands out. "I used the upperclassman who funded me as a stepping stone. My sponsor was rich but clueless. After she paid for my entire college, I slept with her husband and got pregnant. "The craziest part? My son and her son were born on the same day, but my husband swapped the babies. Now, she treats my son like he's her whole world, working day and night to give him a better life. "But her own son lives with me, wearing hand-me-downs and eating leftovers. Today, my son had surgery. I was worried sick, so I slapped her son hard a few times. "Oh, and her family just got a three-million-dollar payout for relocation. My husband is going to the hospital later. He's going to use the excuse of buying a house near the schools to get the money. "Once we have the money, I'm buying a villa. Then I'll get my son back and kick her out!" The post includes a blurry photo of a boy begging on his knees. My breath catches because the charm on his wrist is the same lucky charm I gave my son the day he was born. Just then, my husband pushes open the door to the ward and walks in. "Honey, Sean's starting elementary school soon. Let's use that relocation money your mom received to buy a house near the schools."

"Mahal ko siya, pero hindi pa ako handa" "My instinct was wrong about him and my best friend, now that I can say I'm ready..." "Doon palang naging huli na ang lahat" ---Athena Delight Teneza "I like you... No- that's not the right word..." "I love you..." "Turns out, you love someone else..." "I want to forget you, and look for someone who will love me back... Until I realized, I'm not loving her back... Ikaw parin talaga kahit ituon ko Ang pansin ko sa iba" --- Justin Meyer Cruz Minahal nila ang isa't isa sa hindi naaayon na panahon, dahil sa mapaglarong tadhana... Nauwi sa 'huli na ang lahat' ang 'handa na ako'. Ngunit paano kung sa pagdating ng panahon na masasabi mong 'magmumove forward na ako' ay mauuwi nalang sa 'fiance ko ang Ex ko'?? Magkasintahan sina Athena at Justin mula kolehiyo. Naghiwalay dahil sa isang serye ng mga maling akala at nasirang tiwala. Ngayon, sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, sila'y pinilit magpakasal sa papapamitan ng arrange marriage na napagkasunduan ng kanilang mga pamilya. Mas pinili nilang maging estranghero at wala sa kanila ang nagpaalala tungkol sa kanilang nakaraan. Sa kanilang pagsasama ay unti-unti nilang narirealize ang tunay nilang nararamdaman sa isa't isa. Lihim silang may malalim na pagmamahal sa isa't isa. Sa panahong napagdesisyonan nilang aminin at ituon ang pagmamahalan nila sa isa't isa ay muling magbabalik ang dahilan ng naging hiwalayan nila sa nakaraan? Paano kung dumating ang pagkakataong pagdedeaisyonan ni Justin ang pagpayag sa debusyong kagustuhan ni Athena? Ano nga ba ang dahilan ni Athena sa divorce na hihilingin kay Justin? Katapusan na nga ba ng kanilang kwento o simula pa lamang ito ng masalimuot na kabanata ng kanilang relasyon?

Abot tainga ang ngiti ni Elisa habang naglalakad papunta sa opisina ng kanyang asawa. Pinaglalaruan niya sa isip at ini-imagine ang mga eksena kung paano maaaring mag-react ang asawa niya sa balita tungkol sa kanilang magiging anak. Buntis siya, dalawang buwan na. Habang papalapit siya sa opisina, napansin niyang bahagyang nakabukas ang pinto, sapat na para makita at marinig ang usapan sa loob. “Tama na, Azrael, ang kulit mo talaga!” malakas na hagikgik ng isang babae. "Nakikiliti ako!" Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ni Elisa, at pakiramdam niya ay dumaloy nang mabilis ang dugo sa buong katawan niya. Hindi siya sigurado sa narinig, kaya napagpasyahan niyang sumilip—ingat na ingat na hindi makita o marinig. Dahan-dahan siyang yumuko at nakita niya si Azrael, ang kanyang asawa, nakayakap sa baywang ng babae at mapusok na hinahalikan ang leeg ng babae. Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Elisa sa nakita, lalo pa nang sakupin ni Azrael ang mga labi ng babae. Parang sinasaksak nang dahan-dahan ang puso niya, hindi niya alam ang gagawin. Hindi niya rin namalayan na tumutulo na pala ang mga luha niya. "A-Azrael..." nanginginig niyang bulalas, dahilan kung bakit napatingin sa kanya ang asawa.

I had always been the perfect daughter, but one scandalous photo ruined everything. Betrayed by my own family, abandoned by the man I loved, I was left with nothing but a broken heart and a daughter to protect. Now, I’m back, and I’m not the same naive girl they tried to destroy. I’ve fought my way to the top, and I’m ready to reclaim what’s mine. _"You’re the one with everything to lose, Jessica. Let’s see how you handle it."_ With my daughter by my side and secrets in my arsenal, I’m ready to face the family that betrayed me. But when Ryan, a man with his own dark past, steps into my life, things get even more complicated. He’s powerful, infuriatingly arrogant, and claims to be the father of my child. _"You think you can just walk back into my life and call the shots, Ryan? Think again."_ This isn’t just about revenge anymore. It’s about survival, about protecting my daughter. _"This time, I’m playing by my own rules."_ But with enemies closing in and the stakes higher than ever, I’ll need more than just determination to win. I’ll need to decide who I can trust—and whether my heart is ready to take the ultimate risk. _"Are you with me, or against me, Ryan?"_ This is my story, and it’s time to take back what was stolen from me. But in the world of power and betrayal, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
