Lyra Selene

For five long years, Lyra Santiago believed love was enough. Kahit galing siya sa simpleng pamilya at ang fiancé niyang si Tristan ay anak ng isang business tycoon, hindi siya natinag. But on their wedding day, everything shattered—Tristan dumped her for a wealthier woman, in front of everyone, leaving her broken, humiliated, and wearing a wedding dress that mocked her pain. Walang direksiyon, umiiyak at wasak, she wandered into the night—only to meet a silent stranger in a wheelchair. His name was Elias Montero. Mysterious. Cold. Untouchable. And when he suddenly asked, “Will you marry me tonight?”—Lyra, driven by grief and impulse, said yes. What began as a reckless decision turned into something life—altering. Sa kanilang wedding night, Elias stunned her—standing up from his wheelchair, carrying her to bed with strength and dominance that contradicted everything she assumed. Kinabukasan, sa kaniyang pagbabalik sa trabaho, isang mas malaking rebelasyon ang bumungad: Elias was her company’s new CEO—none other than the zillionaire heir to the Montero Group of Companies. From heartbreak to power play, Lyra’s world turned upside down. She became Elias’s personal assistant, his shadow, his obsession. Unti—unti, sa gitna ng mga intriga, tsismis, at mapanghusgang mata, she found herself falling for the man who saw her worth when she couldn’t see it herself. But secrets have a way of unraveling. A former lover resurfaces. A hidden fiancée returns. At sa oras ng pagdududa, Lyra walks away—carrying not just a wounded heart, but Elias’s child. Now, Elias must fight not just to win her back… but to prove that his love wasn’t a lie. Because in a world full of deception, only one truth remains—he never wanted a wife... until her.

What no one knew was that she left carrying Soren Monteviejo’s children. Ngayon, bumalik siyang pilit, dahil sa pagkakasakit ng adoptive mom niya. Pero ang hindi niya inakala, babalik rin si Soren sa pamamahay nila… may asawa na, at ang higit na nakakagulantang ay hindi man lang siya nito kilala. Masakit na nga sa kanya ang makitang may sakit ang kanilang ina, mas lalo pa siyang ginisa ni Soren. Hinahamak siya nito, tinatawag siyang ingrata. Parang salot na bumalik sa pamilya. Pero nagbago ang lahat nang matapang na awayin ng kambal niyang anak, pinagtanggol siya mula sa masakit na pananalita ni Soren—at doon nagsimulang mabasag ang iringan at magbago ang hindi magandang pagtrato sa kanya ni Soren. What if his hatred is hiding something deeper? What if his forgotten love was never lost—but stolen? Pag-ibig. Lihim. Alaala. Isang kwento ng pagmamahalang ipinaglalaban kahit bawal… kahit masakit… at kahit paulit-ulit na pinagkakait ng tadhana.
