Santa Gabriella

When introverted college student, Gabriella Brooks, escapes her overbearing parents grasp. She finds solace in a quaint LA apartment. But her newfound peace was short lived as her next door neighbor Kai Alexander Flynn, a tattooed enigma with piercing eyes and a sharp tongue stirred up trouble. He was everything she'd been sheltered from, he was her antithesis: darkness to her light, chaos to her calm. Yet, in the storm of his presence, she found an unexpected freedom. She began to realize that his kind of chaos might be exactly what she needed to break free. As their animosity ignited into something fierce, she'd have to decide: Was he her ruin or her salvation? Was he her reckoning or her rebirth?

Ang nobelang ito ay pagbalik-tanaw sa taong 1884 kung saan ang Pilipinas ay nasa pamumuno pa ng kahariang Espanya.

"I told you, Bella Mia. I don't want money. It's not about money, it never was. It's about getting you tied to me forever because what's the better way to take my revenge on you than making you marry me since I am the last person you want to be with and hate me to the core." he said cupping her face and bringing it close to his lips. " I will never marry you," she snaps in pure anger. "I hate you so much, Dante Matthews. I will die but never marry you." " We will see about that because if you don't then you can say goodbye to your father's company and all his hard work. I am sure you won't want that, right?" he asked with an arrogant smirk, " I am going to ruin you, Gabriella Harrison." " Why do you want to marry me? Are you still in love with me?" she asked, confused. "Love? I hate the word love coming out of your mouth. I began to hate you with every fibre in my being when you stood me up at the altar on our wedding day in the past. This marriage is purely going to be a marriage of hatred and revenge. You have got three hours to make the decision, or you can say goodbye to everything." he threatened and left.

What is going to happen when heartbreaking secrets are revealed?

Santa Maria Deogracia. Despite being given that name, she is not filled with grace, and she is far from holy.  She is feral, rebellious and arrogant. She felt unfortunate her whole life. Poor and born from an affair between her father and his mistress. A child that no one wanted. A bastard hated by the legal family.  But her life took an unexpected turn when she got entangled with a man called Hellion. Witnessing a gruesome crime and the next thing she knew, she was already under him, moaning, catching her breath while chanting his name—spending a hot night with an enigmatic drop dead gorgeous man with a dangerous allure and piercing stares that weakened her knees. Only to find out the next morning that he is actually that infamous ruthless billionaire, 15 years older than her at that; Lazarus Lombardi.  With her life filled with twists and turns, she never expected to get entangled with him even more when he offered her a job—to be his sex slave. Having a secret relationship, that is wrong yet it felt so right—he became her solace.  Desperate to escape in her toxic home, she married him eventually, thinking that it was the right decision.  Or so she thought. . .  Little does she know, her decision is merely an illusion, shattering her newfound happiness. As she delves deeper into the darkness lurking within him—Unveiling the truth, secrets and betrayals. . .  Leading her to escape from his suffocating grasp.  Santa Maria thought she had finally escaped his clutches, only to find herself entangled in his web once more, years later.
