Name Something You Shake

I never believed in second chances. Not after Cynthia. She was my confidant… until death tore her from me and left this mansion echoing with ghosts. Inilibing ko na rin ang puso ko kasabay ng pakamatay ni Cynthia . She was my wife. My peace. My mistake. Then her daughter moved in. Liza. The forbidden reminder of everything I shouldn’t want—young, alive, reckless in ways her mother never was. She looks at me like she sees through the monster I’ve become. Sa tuwing ngingiti siya,  the ache in my chest returns—violent, dangerous, hungry. Every brush of her skin ignites something I can’t bury anymore. I tell myself it’s guilt. I tell myself I’m just protecting her. Pero ang totoo? I want her. Hindi bilang stepdaughter. Not as Cynthia’s child. I want her as mine—completely, ruinously, irredeemably mine. They’ll call me a sinner. A man who crossed the line. Ngunit sa tuwing tinitingnan ako ni Liza, trembling, wanting... I knew I’d already crossed it. I tell myself I’m protecting her, but each night, the lie weakens. Because when she looks at me, it isn’t fear I see—it’s want. And God help me... I want her too. This isn’t love. It’s a beautiful disaster. And I’d burn the world just to feel her breathe my name again.

“I need you. Babayaran kita, just name your price, after.” Umiling si Carol, “N–No, don’t– huwag kang lalapit.” mariin na tugon ni Carol, habang unti-unti siyang nakakaramdam ng pagkahilo at pinipilit na lumalayo siya sa estrangherong lalaki. “Wala pang babaeng tumanggi sa akin ng ganito. Sorry, Miss, but I won’t let you go that fast– not now that I need you, bago pa ako magkalat ng eskandalo sa labas.” — Carol is secretly married with someone na hindi niya pa kahit kailan nakikita. Dalawang taon na silang kasal, pero sa picture lang, tapos bata pa roon ang asawa niya sa picture.

Lumaking magkahiwalay si Dane at ang kakambal niyang si Dianne nang magkahiwalay ang mga magulang nila. Siya ay lumaki sa hirap habang ang kakambal ay lumaki sa marangyang buhay. Wala ng ibang hiling si Dane kundi ang mapayapa at tahimik lang na buhay, pero isang araw, may dumating na isang lalaki, at ibinalita nito sa kanya ang tunay niyang pagkatao kasama na dun ang pagkawala ng kakambal niyang kapatid. Then a man wearing a black mask came, and his name is Dark. Tama ang sinabi ni Calil na aakalainin nito na siya ang babaeng hinahanap nito! Dahil naiipit na siya sa sitwasyon ay pumayag siyang sumama rito at para mabigyan ng hustisya ang pagamatay ng kakambal niya. Pero hanggang kailan niya kayang magpanggap? Magagawa ba niyang pigilan ang pusong umibig kay Dark? Gayong kaya siyang ipagkalulu ng kanyang sarili sa bawat halik at yakap nito. O ang tamang tanong, magagawa ba niyang paibigin ang isang Dark De'Longhi? "This isn't romance. You're not a damsel in distress and I'm not the handsome prince who comes to save you."

My eyes spontaneously moved to wander at the woman who looked so different compared to the other women. She's not that tall like the other young ones, I can see her good physique, slim, voluptuous and matured body like the models I see from magazines and televisions. The woman has a white and silky skin, long and black spiral curls hair that almost extended past to her waist. Nangingibabaw siya kumpara sa iba, nangingibabaw ang kulay ng balat niya, lalong lalo na ang kaniyang itsura kahit pa mayroong takip na face veil ang kalahati ng kaniyang mukha. I turned to a gay and motioned for him to come over to me. "Yes, Mr. Elizondo? How can I help you?" I pointed the woman before. "I want her." Tiningnan niya ang itinuro ko, nakita ko ang pangamba sa kaniyang mukha. "S-Si... Ana, sir...?" "Ana..." I mumbled. Such an angelic name but that body is wanting me to make a goddamn sin. "Yes, I want her. Maibibigay mo ba?" "I'm so sorry, sir. But you need to wait until the auction starts. And it is strictly forbidden to bring our women with—" "Who's her owner?" "Her Auntie, sir. Hawak siya ng Auntie niya at mukhang pinahihinog pa." "I'll talk to her," I uttered and searched for the woman again. She's looking at the crowd with her innocent eyes, with the sudden burst of her tears, the woman possessed with seducing regard. "I want her," pag uulit ko, mas mariin. "Ana..."

Meet Zarina Da Cerna—a living princess by name and blood and an aspiring actress chasing the same dreams once held by her late mother. But fairy tales shatter easily. Her father, ruined by his addiction to casinos, drowns in billions of debt owed to the ruthless tycoon Rayne Madrigal. Cornered by desperation and greed, he commits the ultimate betrayal—selling his one and only daughter to the man he owes. Rayne Madrigal is everything Zarina despises: a cold-hearted businessman who bends the world with money and power, a man who believes everything—and everyone—has a price. Yet when he sees Zarina’s innocent face and undeniable capability, he is intrigued. He brings her into his world as his personal maid and secretary, binding her to his control. She hates him. She curses him in her thoughts while he sleeps. She dreams of escape. But hatred blurs into something far more dangerous. No matter how hard she fights it, Zarina finds herself drawn to the very man who stole her freedom. Trapped between resentment and desire, she falls for Rayne—and against all odds, becomes his wife. Rayne, however, marries for reasons of his own. All he wants is his father’s validation. His heart remains locked, untouched, and unwilling to love. Marriage becomes a battlefield. Love turns into silence. And eventually, they chose divorce. Yet fate is never done. When given another chance—another crossing of hearts and wounds—will they find their way back into each other’s arms? Or will love, once broken, remain lost forever?

As her final requirement, she's sent to train at Moonlight Kitchenette, a cozy restaurant owned by her tito-but managed by Chef Timothy Hayden Sanders, a perfectionist known for being cold, demanding, and insanely hot.
