Padre Irene El Filibusterismo

Five years ago, I died—my life as Irene Lancaster ended, along with the child in my womb. Pushed off a cliff by the woman who bore the man I once loved. But the true betrayal? He made her do it. To them, I was nothing. A mistake. An obstacle to be removed. But I survived. And now, I’ve returned with a new name, a new face, and the wealth and power of the richest man in the country. I came back for one reason—revenge. Cold. Ruthless. Nothing else mattered. Not even him. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. And the heart I thought had turned to stone... still remembers what it was like to love the one who destroyed it.

Matagal nang umiibig si Irine Evangelista kay Ruyi Walton mula pa noong bata pa sila. Kaya nang itinakda ng kanilang mga magulang na magpakasal sila, buong puso pumayag si Irene kahit alam niyang hindi iyon ang gusto ni Ruyi. Sa loob ng tatlong taon ng kanilang pagsasama, iginugol ni Irene ang kanyang buhay para kay Ruyi, umaasa na magbabago ang isip nito at sa huli'y mahulog sa kanya. Ngunit biglang gumuho ang lahat nang magising na lamang si Irene isang araw na nasa tabi ng kapatid ni Ruyi, si Kyler, wala silang mga saplot at magkayakap. Hindi alam ni Irene kung paano iyon nangyari, pero isa lang ang sigurado siya—hindi niya magagawang saktan at lokohin si Ruyi. Pero kahit anong paliwanag ang gawin ni Irene ay hindi nakinig sa kanya si Ruyi, sa halip ay nag-file ito ng divorce.

“Will you give me your life in exchange for your father's?” He whispered in my ears, as he traced down my face, to the skin on my neck, with the cold edge of his gun. “No… Irene, don't…,” my father begged faintly from where he lay, straining against the grip of Diego’s men. "Yes,” I blurted out, a tremor in my voice. “If that's what it takes, then… Take me!” I surrendered, closing my eyes. *** How far would you go to protect the ones you love? Would you trade your soul to the devil to save theirs? Well, I did. I, Irene Herrera, offered myself to the Mafia Devil, Diego Vargas, in exchange for my father's life. I became his captive bride. He put me through hell, yet… I refused to break. I played his game, but I made my own rules, breaking his. I challenged him at every chance, defying the Almighty Diego. He was captivated by my rebellious spirit. As we drew closer, I started to see the man behind the mask, he was hurt, lonely, and haunted by the ghost of his lost love. I was drawn to his broken heart. Soon, the lines between captor and captive blurred for us, as we lost ourselves in a flaming love affair. But what happens when I learn that my long lost sister was Diego’s ex-lover, involved in a plot to destroy him? This conspiracy arises again and Diego’s life is threatened. I face a choice to either seize this chance to escape, and leave him to die, or stay and protect the man I now love, even if it could cost me my life. Whatever choice I make, Love or survival, am I justified? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Doon niya nakilala si Kristoff Montecillo; isang makapangyarihang lalaki mula sa underworld, at tiyuhin ng ex-fiancee niyang si Dave Montecillo. Niligtas siya nito mula sa mga armadong lalaki, at bilang kabayaran ay niyanig nito ang mundo niya sa pamamagitan ng isang halik. Ang lalaki rin ang naging daan kung bakit nailigtas ang puri niya mula sa matandang huklubang nais kumuha ng kanyang pagkabirhen. Ngayong may utang na loob na siya kay Kristoff, papayag ba siyang maging fiancee nito kapalit ng ilang ulit na pagliligtas nito sa kanya? O, papayag siya upang gamitin ito sa paghihiganti sa mga taong nakapanakit sa kanya?
