Keeping Quiet

Si Steel Reynandez ay kilala bilang ang MVP ng Miamiranda University. He was adored by many, not only because of his skills under the basketball ring, but also because of who he was. Maraming mga babae ang nagkakagusto rito dahil sa pagiging misteryoso nito. He was quiet, cold, and had no interest in women. He was basically an introvert who happened to be a skilled basketball player. Kung wala ito sa ilalim ng ring ay nagtatago ito sa madilim nitong silid. But that would soon change. Thanks to Kennary. Si Kennary ay anak ng labandera ng pamilya ni Steel, at malaki ang pagkakagusto nito sa binata. She was a top 1 student in her class and had big dreams for the future. Nagkaroon ito ng pagkakataong makuha ang cellphone number ni Steel dahilan kaya nagagawa nitong padalhan ng mga mensahe ang binata na noong una'y ikinapipikon pa nito. But eventually, Steel would get used to Kennary's existence and they would become regular text mates. Napansin ng ama ni Steel ang malaking pagbabago ng karakter ng binata, at noong nalaman nitong si Ken-Ken ang dahilan ay ni-kombinsi nito ang dalagang tanggapin ang part-time job bilang personal assistant ni Steel. In return, Steel's father would finance her college education. Ito na ba ang pagkakataon ni Kennary upang maging malapit sa iniirog? Mapapaamo ba nito at mapalalambot ang matigas na puso ng binata? And... would she and Steel go beyond text mates?

Pero nagbago ang lahat nang mapilitan siyang tumira sa iisang bubong kasama ng lalaking bawal niyang pagnasaan—ang brother-in-law niyang si Lance Dominic "Dom" Arriola. Tall, brooding, at laging naka-sando na parang kasalanan ang bawat muscle, si Dominic ang tipo ng lalaking tinitingnan mo lang dapat… pero hindi mo dapat hinahangaan. Lalo na’t kapatid siya ng fiancé mo. Pero paano kung sa bawat titig niya ay may banta ng tukso? Sa bawat sulyap, parang hinuhubaran ka na? Sa bawat gabing tahimik, may mga ungol na gustong kumawala? At paano kung isang gabing walang kuryente, sa ilalim ng init ng dilim, hindi mo na mapigilan ang sarili mo—at ang kasalanan ay hindi lang basta nangyari, kundi sinadya? This is not your typical love story. This is a tale of temptation, guilt, and a kind of pleasure na bawal pero hindi mo maitatangging gusto mo. Because sometimes… the one who ruins you, is the one you crave the most.
