Sheltered In Tagalog

Izaria Mauve is a sheltered woman and an only daughter of Asuncion family. She is the last heiress so she has to meet her clans expectations. Lumaki siya sa puder ng kanyang lolo na namamalagi sa Japan upang ilayo siya sa mga mata ng mga tao hanggat hindi pa dumadating ang tamang panahon upang siya naman ang mamahala sa malaki nilang kompanya. Bata pa lang kasi ay sakitin na ito. Everyone thought she was kept in a private hospital where no one is allowed to visit. But her grandfather raised her to be a warrior rather than a weak and clueless princess. She spent most of her time in a temple where she learned different types of martial arts and weapons, she was also taught everything about business. Ang inakala nilang musmos at mahina na dalaga ay hindi pala totoong mahina. Pero hindi roon magtatapos ang lahat dahil mababago ang kapalaran ni Izaria nang ipahayag ng kanyang lolo na kinakailangan niyang pakasalan ang isang makapangyarihang tao sa lipunan na nasa Pilipinas upang isalba ang kompanya nilang nasa bingit na ng pagbagsak. Izaria had a second thought but she was convinced to accept it after his grandfather died and was told that that is his last will. Anong klaseng buhay kaya ang naghihintay kay Izaria sa Pilipinas? Maging matagumpay kaya ang mga plano niya upang mabawi ang kompanya nila? Paano kung hindi lang ang pakikipagsapalaran na magpakasal sa taong hindi niya kilala ang problemang dumating sa buhay niya? Paano kung may matuklasan siya na hindi niya dapat malaman?

Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences. What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic. "To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please." What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth. That... That's what they will never tell her.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.
