My Step Father

Mula nung 15 taon pa lamang si Carlo, minahal na niya si Michael. Mas pinili niya lang itago na lamang ang nararamdaman niya sa kaibigan dahil sa takot na lumayo ang loob nito sa kanya. Ngunit habang tumatagal ang pagsasama nila, mas nahihirapan si Carlo na itago ang pagtingin niya sa kaibigan. Nais niya man lumayo, di naman siya hayaan ni Michael na gawin ito. “You are mine!” He said. But then he’ll say, “But I am not gay!” Labis na naguguluhan si Carlo sa bestfriend niya. But he knew that all along, even without saying it… He is his best friend's possession…

Ang kwentong ito ay iikot sa buhay ni Ahtisa De Guzman, isang inosenteng babaeng nag tiwala sa itinuring niyang kaibigan na akala nya ay tutulungan sya makahanap ng side line upang makatulong sa nag -aagaw buhay niyang ama, ngunit sa halip na trabaho, sya pala ay ibinenta nito na nagbunga iyon ng isang batang lalaki. Kinamuhian niya ang kaibigan na nagtago na matapos siya nitong ibenta. Kinamumuhian din niya ang lalaking bumili sa kanya at nais niya itong makaharap Milo upang pghigantihan ngunit sa ngayon ay mag iipon muna sya ng lakas ng loob, tapang, at kompiyansa sa sarili bago niya ito balikan. Hindi man niya gaanong natitigan ang mukha ng lalaki matapos niya itong pukpukin ng flower vase sa ulo ay hindi naman niya nakakalimutan ang lugar kung saan siya binaboy nito. Hindi rin siya makapag focus dito dahil sa sobrang busy niya sa trabaho at sa pag aalaga sa anak niya. Gayonpaman, nangako sya sa sarili na hahanapin niya ang lalaki at paghihigantihan ito. Hindi siya titigil hanggat hindi nagagantihan ang taong umabuso sa kanya. Ngunit ganoon man ang kanyang sinapit, sa halip na kamuhian ang bata, minahal niya ito at siyang naging dahilan niya para lumaban, at harapin ang mga pagsubok sa buhay ng buong tapang, at mulling bumuo ng matayog na pangarap. Ngunit ang lahat ng Ito ay maglalaho nang umabot na sa ikalimang taon ang bata at doon napag alaman na may malubha itong sakit, sakit na ang tanging lunas ay bone marrow transplant mula sa sarili nitong ama dahil hindi nagmatched ang sa kanya.

Bata pala lamang sina Gian at Jia ay nag katagpo na ang kanilang Landas dahil sa isang aksidente na muntik na niyang ikalunod. Sa insidenteng ito nag simulang umusbong ang kanyang nararamdaman para sa batang nag ligtas ng kanyang buhay. Ang batang Gian din ang dahilan kung bakit hindi siya sumubok mag mahal kahit maraming gustong sumubok na makuha ang puso niya. Simula pagkabata niya'y natatak na sa isip at puso niya ang pangalan ng batang iyon ngunit hanggang kailan niya kayang alagaan ang kanyang damdamin kung walang kasiguraduhan na hinahanap at iniisip din siya nito. Kayanin nga kaya niyang hintayin ang batang iyon? Paano kung muling may lalaking dumating para guluhin ang puso niyang nakalaan para lamang kay Gian? Handa ba niyang tanggapin ang kasalukuyan at kalimutan nalang ang nakaraan?

PAMILYA, PAG-IBIG AT PANGAKO. ‘Yan ang mga dahilan kung bakit nasaktan nang lubusan si Rhian.  Nobyo n'ya ang bilyonaryong si Andrew Santillan Jackson. Galing sa mayamang angkan na pinangakuan s’ya ng kasal kung sakaling magbunga ang ginawa nilang pagtatalik kahit labag sa kanyang puso at isipan. Walang nagawa ang dalaga dahil lubos n'yang mahal ang nobyo n'ya—pero isang kamalian ang pagsugal n'ya ng pagkabirhen sa binata. Kahit ganoon pa man ay hindi gumawa ng hindi maganda si Rhian na magpapahamak sa kan'yang munting anghel. Ipinangako n'ya sa sarili na kahit anong mangyari ay bubuhayin n'ya ang kan'yang magiging anak. 'Pangako ko sa iyo anak, kahit anong pagsubok ang dumating sa buhay ko, hinding-hindi kita ipapalaglag salungat sa gusto ng iyong amang taksil sa ating dalawa lalo na sa iyo.'

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.
