My Best Friends

Three years ago, on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, Lynell Gibbs was left completely broken. It was her 20th birthday — a day she had been so excited for — but instead of candles and wishes, she got heartbreak. Shaun Hernandez, the guy she loved with all her heart, broke up with her. No fight, no warning. Just a simple, cold explanation: “Nagising na lang daw siya at narealize na hindi na niya ito mahal.” Those words haunted her for years. And no matter how strong she tried to be, the pain left a scar too deep to forget. But she survived. She stood up, rebuilt herself piece by piece, and slowly became the woman she never thought she could be — stronger, wiser, and even more beautiful. Gone was the naïve girl who gave everything to someone who didn’t deserve her. She had learned her lesson. She moved forward and opened her heart again. That’s when Martin came into her life — kind, respectful, and everything Shaun wasn’t. For the first time, she felt safe. Finally, she believed she had healed. Until one unexpected announcement shattered her peace. Their company was under new management. At first, she didn’t think much of it — change was normal. But everything came crashing down the moment she heard the name of their new CEO. Shaun Hernandez. The same man who once tore her apart... was now her boss.

Series #1 I love you, Sister Series #2 My Brother's Bestfriend I am Sofia Avery, Vaughn’s younger sister. Akala ni kuya, simple lang akong babae, conservative and old fashioned. Eh nag-aral ako sa ibang bansa kaya na-adapt ko ang culture doon. I am a liberated woman, at may isang naging seryosong karelasyon, but I left him in Spain dahil nagiging bad influence na siya sa akin. Nakilala ko si Josh dela Paz, na kapatid ni sister Bianca, at bestfriend ni kuya. Naging ka-roommate ko siya sa apartment na pag-aari niya. Hindi ko alam na pinaghiwalay ni kuya si Josh at si Alison na ex-fiancée niya. May naka-video na naghahalikan sina kuya Vaughn at Alison, at napanood ito ni Josh. Mahal na namin ang isa’t isa. Ibinigay ko na ang lahat-lahat sa kanya, but I found out that he just made me fall for him para gantihan si kuya. Bumalik siya sa ex-fiancée niya na nanloko lang siya, at nang-akit sa kuya Vaughn ko.

Pag may edad na mas masarap. Lalo na kung mayaman. Ihihiga ka sa kama hindi sa tambakan. Hindi ko alam kung saan nagsimula, nong araw na iyon biglang nagbago ang lahat. Nagkasakit si Auntie at tanging pagbabar ang naisip kong trabaho. Nag-apply ako biglang tagahugas ng pinggan pero di sapat ang pera roon para sa operasyon ni Auntie. Nagtry ako pumasok bilang crew sa jollibee, mcdo, at mang inasal hindi rin natanggap. Hanggang sa may nag-alok sa akin, na sasayaw lang daw ako. Pagtapos ng sayaw, tatabi sa mga guest at bibigyan na ako ng mga tip. Hanggang sa may nga bisitang gusto na akong ikama. Hanggang sa pag-agawan ako at mapanalunan ng isang lalaking kailanman ay di ko pa nakikita. Sa halagang 1 Million, kapalit ang katawan ko, dignidad ko, at kalayaan ko. Sapat na iyon, pampaopera kay Auntie.
