Keep Your Friends Close Lyrics Novels & Stories

Si Lea Himenez ay isang makapangyarihang pangalan sa mundo ng fashion—mayaman, hinahangaan, at sanay sa kontrol. Ngunit sa likod ng mga runway at boardroom ay isang babaeng pagod na pagod nang maging perpekto. Isang gabi ng kahinaan ang nagtulak sa kanya sa isang bar—isang gabing hindi niya alam na matagal nang hinihintay ng isang lalaki. Si Miguel Guero, isang CEO billionaire na kilala sa kanyang malamig na lohika at walang kapantay na kapangyarihan, ay matagal nang nagmamasid. Obsessive. Mapagplano. Hindi marunong umatras. Sa gitna ng alak at pagbagsak ng depensa ni Lea, inabot niya ang kontratang magbabago ng lahat. “Just sign it. I will take care of you—your world, your fears, your life. Everything will be mine to protect.” Isang pirma. Isang kasal. Isang buhay na kinitil ang kalayaan bago pa man niya ito mapagtanto. Habang nagigising si Lea sa isang mundong puno ng luho at mahigpit na pag-aangkin, unti-unting nabubunyag ang mas madilim na katotohanan—ang lihim na pagsubaybay, ang kasunduan ng pamilya, at ang planong isinilang bago pa man siya bumigay. Ang akala niyang aksidente ay isa palang perpektong bitag. Mananatili ang apoy at tensyon sa pagitan nila—o unti-unting mahuhulog si Lea sa kasunduang hindi niya ginusto ay maging damdaming hindi na niya kayang tanggihan.

Dante Matino Cruz is a delivery rider, sweating day and night just to keep food on the table and medicine for his ailing mother. Life is hard, but his pride is harder—no shortcuts, no handouts, no selling himself for money. Celestine Isla Navarro is a CEO who thrives in a world where hesitation means weakness. She’s used to buying what she wants and bending people to her will. But the day she crosses paths with Dante—sun-bronzed, stubborn, and infuriatingly unyielding—something inside her shifts. Her first proposition is reckless: a single night, no strings attached. Dante’s answer? Not for sale. But fate doesn’t end with one rejection. Celestine offers him something else: a job. A dangerous but well-paid position as her personal bodyguard. The money could save his mother, even secure work for his childhood friend, Liza. It’s everything he’s been breaking his back for—served on a silver platter. Now Dante faces a brutal choice: swallow his pride to protect his family, or stand firm against a woman who never takes “no” for an answer. What begins as a battle of wills turns into a dangerous, slow-burning game of temptation. Pride versus desire. Fire against fire. And in this game, someone will surrender. The question is—who will break first?
