She had never thought that she would sleep with her former adversary, but it turned out to be a fantastic match for both of them. However, when they got married, his apathy finally enraged her, and she yelled, "you damn bastard!"

On the day of our engagement, just because Madison Calder wants to eat the ravioli my fiance Nicholas Olsen made, he decides to leave without hesitation. I can't help but try to stop him, but he slaps me across the face. "It's just an engagement party—we can have another one. What if Maddy starves?" Even my brother Brandon Lewis scolds me for being unreasonable. "You're older than Maddy. Can't you be more understanding?" I say nothing more and choose to let go and leave. They think I'm just throwing a tantrum and ignore me. They even clear their schedules just to take Madison on a vacation. It isn't until half a month later that they think to contact me, only to discover I have already joined a classified government weapons research program that will last ten years. Moreover, I have decided never to come home again. They completely panic.

Although I was the second child in the family, my mother loved me the most. When Dad bought my sister a new dress, she stayed up late knitting a sweater for me. When Grandma took my younger brother out for burgers, she baked me a homemade sponge cake. Until the New Year’s Eve dinner. Dad placed the big chicken drumstick onto my sister’s plate. Grandma immediately stuffed the other one into my brother’s. My mother hurriedly picked the chicken wing from her plate and placed it onto mine, smiling as she said, “I saved this especially for you.” The relatives laughed and teased, “Your family really has a clear division of love. Everyone spoils a different child. What a loving family.” The next second, I suddenly flipped the table. Under everyone’s stunned gaze, I grabbed that chicken wing and shoved it straight into my mother’s mouth.

Alyra “Alya” Lucrezia is a woman who lives a quiet life while preparing herself to serve God. Lumaki siya na may matibay na pananampalataya, kaya naniniwala si Alya na ang tunay na kapayapaan ay makikita lang sa debosyon at sakripisyo. Sinusubukan niyang lumayo sa ingay ng mundo. However, everything changes when a powerful and wealthy man, Cameron Villareal, enters her life. Cameron is known for his influence, money, and dangerous charm. Sa unang pagkakataon pa lang na makita siya ni Alya, nagsimulang magulo ang tahimik na buhay na pinaghirapan niyang buuin. Unknown to the people around them, Alya and Cameron share a painful past. One filled with secrets, mistakes, and a desire they both tried to escape. Alya ran away months ago to leave that life behind and to protect herself from the chaos Cameron brings. Pero si Cameron ay hindi ang tipo ng lalaki na basta nalang hinahayaan ang mga bagay na matapos nang walang kasagutan. What they share is not simple love, it is a mix of anger, longing, temptation, and guilt. Habang patuloy na nagkakasalubong ang kanilang mga landas, napapagitnaan si Alya sa dalawang mundo: ang pangako niya sa Diyos at ang malakas na paghila ng damdamin niya kay Cameron. Habang pilit siyang ibinabalik ni Cameron sa buhay nito, nahihirapan si Alya na protektahan ang kanyang puso, and the fragile peace she fought so hard to find. In a story filled with secrets, temptation, and emotional battles, Alya must face the hardest question of her life: Will she remain faithful to the life she chose, or will she fall again into the dangerous desire she once tried to escape?

When my husband and I drop by his childhood home for Christmas dinner, my mother-in-law, Melissa Potter, is the only one busying away in the kitchen. Everyone else is on their phones. I've just taken a seat when Melissa begins to lecture me. "What, are you just going to sit your ass down and wait for food to come? Don't you know when to lend a helping hand? Am I supposed to exhaust myself for your sake?" From time to time, she keeps rattling the pots and pans loudly. "I can't believe those with healthy bodies want a 70-year-old like me to serve them! Does anyone here have any conscience?" Feeling a little uneasy, I gave my husband a tiny nudge. "Why don't you help Mom out?" After Melissa hears my suggestion, she gets even more pissed off. Thinking that this is my first Christmas with my in-laws, I don't really want to cause a scene here, so I get up to my feet and help her out.

When I'm about to head back to the dining table and dig in, Melissa suddenly speaks up. "Hold up. We got scores to settle before dinner."
