Sa Aking Mga Kabata

She’s loud. He’s cold. She believes in happy endings. He doesn’t believe in love at all. Sa mundo ng luxury, deadlines, at perfection, siya ang lalaking hindi marunong ngumiti. Cesar Araneta, 35, CEO ng Luxe Life Magazine, gwapo, matalino, at mayaman — pero kilalang pusong bato. Para sa kanya, ang feelings ay sagabal, at ang pag-ibig ay walang lugar sa success story niya. Hanggang dumating si Gabriela “Gavine” Gutierrez, isang Gen Z aspiring writer na kasing ingay ng alarm clock at kasing saya ng kape sa umaga. Masayahin, palpak minsan, pero may tapang at puso.Hindi siya intimidated sa suplado niyang boss sa katunayan, crush pa nga niya ito simula pa college! Ngunit isang viral post ang gugulo sa tahimik na buhay ni Cesar. Ang “Heartless but Handsome Boss” article ni Gavine ay magpapainit hindi lang ng internet, kundi pati ng opisina ng Luxe Life. But when her “Heartless but Handsome” post goes viral, their worlds collide in the most chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly romantic way. Pero paano nga ba magtatagpo ang dalawang magkaibang mundo? Siya, mayaman, sikat, at sanay na lahat sumusunod. At siya, simpleng dalaga lang walang pangalan sa lipunan, pero may pusong kayang umintindi kahit sa pinaka-malamig na tao. “You called me heartless.” Can a cheerful nobody melts the heart of a man who thinks love is overrated? Maybe love isn’t overrated after all — maybe it just needed the right kind of disaster to begin.

She broke the one rule her husband gave her. She got pregnant. But instead of love, she got betrayal. He pleaded with her sister to take her place as his wife. And her family said yes. Framed by her brother in law and cast out in disgrace, she was left with nothing. Brooke had expected that her life would be like the movies where her stepmother tries to ruin her life, but for Brooke it wasn’t the case. Her stepmother showered her with love while her father and sisters loathed her. Her brother and her half-sister, who was the daughter of both her father and her stepmother, were usually in the middle. It was a constant battle of who was with or against Brooke. This time even the ones that supported he were stuck after her father instructed everyone to stay away from her. Brooke vanished. FIVE YEARS LATER… She returns not as a broken woman they discarded, but as someone stronger, sharper and fearless. A mother to twins. Backed by a powerful boss who’s secretly in love with her. A world famous soccer star wants her heart. Her ex wants a second chance. But Brooke wants only one thing, she wants justice. And this time, anyone who tries to silence her or ruin her will learn the hard way: she doesn’t forgive… she strikes back.

When hockey superstar Jake Sullivan's career crashes, the last thing he expects is to find his ex-girlfriend Emma scrubbing floors in his new office building eight years after she crushed his heart and disappeared without a trace. But Emma's hiding more than just her identity; she's been raising his son in secret, a handsome boy with Jake's piercing blue eyes and natural talent on the ice. Now that the truth is out, Jake will stop at nothing to claim his family, even if it means facing the powerful enemies who tore them apart and proving that some love is worth fighting for, no matter how many years have passed.

He’s seventeen. She’s twenty. Heir to a billion-dollar empire, Kade Kingston owns everything… except the one thing he wants most. Chelsea Lynch. She scrubs floors at Crawford Elite Royal, but every guy in school whispers about what they’d do to her if they got the chance. Kade doesn’t whisper. He acts. He was supposed to lay low—for six months, heal his injury and stay out of the headlines before the big leagues. Then he sees her. Beautiful. Untouchable. But not for long. She thinks he’s just another spoiled rich kid. She’s wrong. He’s a predator in a school full of wolves, and she’s the only thing he’s hungry for. He’ll ruin anyone who touches her. Break her defenses. And when she begs, he’ll make sure she never forgets who owns her. She’s older. Off-limits. But Kade Kingston doesn’t follow the rules. He makes them. And Chelsea Lynch is about to learn…Some lines are meant to be crossed. ********************** NB: “for those that have read *BINDING 13* and love it, just like i do, this is something similar, I just felt like pouring out my idea out here. I really hope you guys love it.”

“This is what you wanted, right?” His voice was dark, teasing. “Parading around my house in these bikinis?” “I think you like it,” He continued, his breath hot against my ear. “Knowing I’m watching. Knowing exactly what you do to me.” * * * * * Riane has had a crush on her stepfather for as long as she could remember. But even with her mother gone, Cyril won’t look her way. She can’t tell if it’s her lack of appeal or his need to maintain his image as a Hollywood A-lister, but she knows that every night when she dreams or when she touches herself, it’s Cyril that’s in her head, and that’s who she wants in her bed. It’s always a game for her. To break down the walls that Cyril had around him. Raine has broken every rule that Daddy made. All that’s left is to break him… Only that, she didn’t know that she was always his.

After being reborn, I decided to write my sister's name on the marriage application. This time, I would help Sebastian Holt achieve his wishes.

Living this second life, all I wanted was to spread my wings and soar high, free from love's entanglements.

Maureen Salagunting is a go-getter whose dreams are bigger than her ability and wallet. In fact, she wanted to become a neurosurgeon because she thought it is the hardest profession anyone could have, and she doesn't mind if she would be an old, loveless maiden as long as her bank account is fat and flooding with money. But fate didn't coincide with her plans and she settled with being a private school teacher, then an online live seller when COVID-19 shook the lives of humanity that made her lose her job as well. When she thought everything couldn't get any worse, her shaken life shattered totally when her mother lost the battle against the virus on the day of her 24th birthday, making her wish to cease her existence too. After crying her heart to God, a dashing, mysterious man in a business suit was waiting outside the chapel, telling her to fulfill the marriage agreement she signed eight years ago as a joke. Should she deny it? Or should they begin faking love amidst the pandemic?
