Joy Santos only wanted a quiet life in the province. But one messy fight, one sosyalera enemy, and one powerful matriarch later—she finds herself shipped off to Manila as a personal maid, buried in debt, and completely out of her depth. Enter Attorney Caelius Montemayor: rich, ruthless, perfectionist... and unfortunately, her new boss. He’s everything Joy can’t stand—suplado, Englishero, and constantly correcting her Bisaya-tagalog grammar. She’s everything he hates—baduy, tactless, and always one step away from disaster. Their worlds were never meant to collide. But under one roof, bickering turns to tension, and tension turns to something neither of them can control. Just when feelings get too real, Joy disappears—without warning, without goodbye. Years later, she’s back. Not as a maid, but as a fierce new lawyer… and Caelius’ biggest rival in court. What she doesn’t know? He’s still not over her. What he doesn’t know? She’s hiding more than just her heart. Some battles aren’t fought in the courtroom—they’re fought where it hurts the most.

My fiancé was the CEO of a powerful financial conglomerate, and to the outside world, he adored me beyond measure. A week before our wedding, I found out I was pregnant with triplets. I had planned to tell him the joyful news in person. But instead, I witnessed him in bed with other women. Not with just one. It felt like a knife had carved into my soul, cutting so deep I lost all hope, all trust. My tears begged for release, but I held my head high, forcing myself to stay strong. For him, I had given up everything—my pride, my family, my career. Yet he chose to share our love with others. All those vows to love me and only me for a lifetime had been lies. Our so-called future, our wedding—it was all a cruel joke. He was no longer the man I once loved. He had become tainted. I would not endure his betrayal. He no longer deserved to be the father of my children. So I made my decision—to disappear, to fake my death and start over, to give myself and my babies a chance at a free, unburdened life. But I never imagined he'd become obsessed and start searching the world for women who resembled me, all while declaring I was the only one he ever loved. Too little, too late. His affection now is worth nothing. This time, I'm not looking back.

For years, Lira lived a simple life in the province—until a stranger came and turned her world upside down. Her grandmother. A Montenegro. Biglang nagbago ang lahat. She was offered a life of wealth and privilege, but in exchange, she had to leave everything behind and live with a family she never knew. On her way to Manila, fate played a cruel trick. Naiwan siya sa isang stopover—walang pera, walang gamit, walang paraan para makarating sa bagong buhay niya. Then she meets him. A stranger. Dark. Dangerous. Powerful. "Nothing in this world is free," he tells her. "If I help you… what will you give me in return?" She has nothing. Except herself. One night. One mistake. One secret that can never be spoken. Kinabukasan, naghiwalay silang parang estranghero. Akala niya tapos na ang bangungot. But when she finally steps inside the Montenegro estate, her world shatters. Because he is there. Xavier Montenegro. The man who stole her innocence. The man she must now call "uncle." But something feels… off. Their gazes hold too much tension. Their connection is too intense. And deep down, something tells her—something tells him—that they were never meant to be family. Their secret is dangerous. Their attraction is forbidden. Pero habang pilit nilang nilalabanan ang nararamdaman, lalo lang silang nauubos. And when the truth finally comes to light, Lira will have to ask herself: Was that night truly a mistake? Or was it only the beginning of something far more dangerous?

Not only does he bring another woman home with him, but he even wants me to give up my position as his wife. "Ruth almost lost her eyes saving me, and I've promised to marry her.

Everyone knows you're desperately in love with me!"

After I am diagnosed with stomach cancer, I ask for some money to buy medicine. I don't want to be in excruciating pain when I die. My three elder brothers rush into the ICU. Andy Lewis—my eldest brother—slaps me hard across my face. He scolds me for ruining his beloved younger sister, Summer Lewis' coming-of-age party. My second brother, Sherman Lewis, calls me a liar. He accuses me of pretending to be sick to swindle money from them. Jimmy Lewis, who is my third brother, calls me useless. He tells me that I deserve to die. My parents, Kenneth Lewis and Autumn Farrow, don't believe that I'm sick. They pin me with looks of contempt and ridicule. "You still haven't stopped that lying habit of yours even though you're all grown up. You even learned how to blackmail us with your death. "If you want to die, do it sooner. It'll spare us from being disgusted when we're forced to look at you day in and day out." I end up dying on the first day of the New Year. Before I breathe my last breath, I send a message to the family group chat. My entire family goes crazy after reading it.

After dating him for five years, my boyfriend, Jayden Porter, sends me 10 dollars. He asks me to buy our future matrimonial home with that money. That same day, he transfers 3 million dollars to his dream girl, Lina Doux, to buy her a grand detached villa in Centralis. I decided to break up with him out of frustration, but he accuses me of being greedy for money. "Your house is still livable, so why buy another one? When did you become such a gold digger?" "Lina and I are childhood friends, so what's wrong with me giving her money? "On the other hand, you're scheming to get your hands on my wealth despite us not being married yet. I'm so disappointed in you!" He turns around and proposes to Lina. Six years later, we encounter each other again in the werewolf kingdom based in Centralis—the Darkmoon Kingdom. He's about to become Centralis' Beta. Lina is by his side, wearing a haute couture dress. When he sees me covered in mud and rummaging through trash, he mocks me with disgust, "You looked down on 10 dollars back then, Emily Everhart, but now you're digging through trash cans like a beggar. "Do you think you'll be able to earn money by selling scraps? Even if you put on a sorry act in front of me, I won't show you any pity!" I glance coldly at him and continue to search for my pup's favorite ring. I had unknowingly discarded it like common trash. My pup, Cassidy Holstrom, is incredibly upset about it. As such, I have to find it quickly to cheer her up.
