Paano mo ipaglalaban ang pagmamahal na minsan mo nang sinukuan? Lucky swore she’d never look back. Matapos ang isang mapait na hiwalayan, pinili niyang bumuo ng tahimik na buhay kasama ang anak niya—malayo kay Axel, ang lalaking minsan niyang minahal, pero siya ring dahilan ng pinakamalaking sakit niya. Pero sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, muling nagkrus ang landas nila, at ngayon, hindi na lang puso niya ang nakataya—pati na rin ang buhay nilang mag-ina. Sa kabila ng galit at sakit, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang proteksyon ni Axel. Pero paano kung sa bawat araw na kasama niya ito, unti-unting mabura ang poot at bumalik ang damdaming pilit niyang nilabanan? Lalo na nang matuklasan niyang hindi pala siya kailanman iniwan nito—sa lihim na paraan, Axel had been protecting her all along. Ngunit bago pa niya mas maunawaan ang lahat, isang trahedya ang muling yumanig sa buhay niya—isang pagkakamali, isang maling akala, at isang pagdukot na naglagay sa kanya sa bingit ng kamatayan. At sa gitna ng panganib, nakita niya ang isang Axel na handang isakripisyo ang lahat, kahit ang sariling buhay, para mailigtas siya. Ngayon, hawak niya ang pinakamahalagang tanong—bibitawan ba niya ulit ang lalaking hindi kailanman bumitaw sa kanya? Sa isang mundo ng lihim, galit, at pagsubok, kaya pa ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na minsan nang nawala? O masyado nang huli ang lahat?

One night. One mistake. Isang lalaking hindi niya dapat makilala. Heartbroken and drunk, she let herself fall into the arms of a stranger—Matthew Villarama, the most feared mafia boss in the city. After that night, she thought she'd never see him again…but she was wrong. Dahil nakita silang dalawa ng kalaban papasok sa isang private na hotel—she became the target. The rival syndicate made only one assumption: she was his woman. His weakness. Now with danger closing in, Yshra finds herself trapped in a deadly game where her survival depends on the man she barely knows…and the man who just might be more dangerous to her heart than to the world.

Arielle never dreamed of walking down the aisle with a man she despised. Pero dahil sa matinding business feud between her family’s small company at ang empire ni Leandro Vergara, napilitan siyang pumasok sa isang contract marriage. Leandro Vergara, ang cold, arrogant, ruthless CEO na walang pakialam kung sino ang masaktan, basta siya ang panalo. Para sa kanya, Arielle is nothing but a pawn. Para kay Arielle, Leandro is the last man she’d ever love. Kaya sa mismong kasal pa lang nila, nagsimula na agad ang awayan, mga brutal banats sa pagitan nila at walang tigil na banggaan ng pride. Pero habang magkasama sila sa isang bubong, unti-unting nakikita ni Arielle ang mga bitak sa pader ni Leandro. At lalong nagiging komplikado nang bumalik sa buhay ni Arielle ang kanyang best friend na si Marcus, safe, steady, at matagal nang may lihim na pagmamahal sa kanya. Ngayon, kailangan niyang pumili: ang comfort ng is ang pagmamahal na matagal nang nandiyan, o ang mapusok na pag-ibig na unti-unting winawasak ang matigas niya puso para kay Leandro. Sa isang kasal na nagsimula sa pwersahan, possible bang matalo ang puso sa sariling laban nito?

There are dreams we've carefully planned with specific timelines, only to feel dissappointed when none of them come true. It's as if we've been pressuring ourselves, comparing our progress to others, and in the process, we forget to pause, breathe, and relax. For Danica Raven Pineda, every second counts. Vacation? She'd rather spend her time reading books and attending seminars. She's set high expectations for herself, and relaxation hasn't been a part of her plan. At times, we also need to allow ourselves exceptions-like falling in love with someone unexpected, such as the Conglomerate Samuel Dane Salvador. She adds a new chapter of her life-- the one that she did not looking foward for based on the timeline she has set on herself.

Les Noces Rouges Anna s’éveille en sursaut, le souffle court. La lumière du réverbère filtre à travers les rideaux, baignant la chambre d’un éclat blafard. L’odeur du fer emplit l’air. Un frisson la traverse. Ce n’est pas une sueur nocturne ni un mauvais rêve. C’est bien réel. Sous les draps froissés, une chaleur moite l’englue. Elle se redresse lentement, sent un liquide visqueux coller à sa peau. Son cœur cogne contre ses côtes lorsqu’elle baisse les yeux. Un corps est là. Allongé à ses côtés. Le hurlement meurt dans sa gorge. Le drap, autrefois blanc, est maculé d’écarlate. Une large entaille court le long de la gorge de l’homme étendu à ses côtés. Ses yeux vitreux la fixent. Anna tremble. Elle cherche l’air, cherche à comprendre. Mais le vide. Son esprit refuse de reconstituer les dernières heures. Le bruit du verre brisé. Une voix chuchotée. Des doigts sur sa peau. Puis... rien. Ses mains, trempées de sang, se crispent sur le matelas. L’odeur du whisky flotte encore dans l’air. Son regard dérive vers la table de chevet. Un couteau de cuisine repose là, luisant sous la lueur pâle. C’est elle. Elle a fait ça. Mais pourquoi ? Elle chancelle en sortant du lit, glisse dans une flaque rouge, son reflet déformé dans le carrelage luisant. Un rire nerveux secoue sa poitrine. Un rire hystérique. Lui, c’était son amant. Son dernier amour. Un bruit la fait sursauter. Une vibration sourde. Son téléphone. Un message. "Tu as bien joué ta part, mon amour. Nous sommes liés par le sang à présent. Ne crains rien, je veille sur toi." Anna fronce les sourcils. Ses doigts tremblants tapotent l’écran. Qui ? Comment ?

“IKAW?” My eyes nearly popped out of my face when I saw him—the mysterious stranger from last night. Is it him? The same man? Parang gusto kong mahimatay. Wehh? Hindi pwede! Impossible! my inner voice screamed, pero ang katawan ko nanginginig na parang nakuryente. Hard f*ck na yata ng buhay ‘to. And suddenly, a memory crashed into me like a tidal wave. That night. That stupid, reckless night. The stolen kisses, the laughter between moans, the way he made me beg—“Wag kang titigil!”—like I’d lose myself if he stopped. I swore I’d never see him again. I swore it was just a one-night stand, a mistake I could bury. But now he’s standing right in front of me. Not just a man. Not just anyone. But the CEO. And worse… the ex-boyfriend who once shattered my heart. His smug grin sent shivers down my spine. “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” he said, like fate itself was mocking me. I froze, torn between rage, fear, and something I couldn’t even name. My mind screamed run, but my heart whispered, stay. My world was spinning, and suddenly, every choice felt heavier than ever. Will this be the start of something dangerous… or a responsibility I can’t escape?
