She’s now 21 and had just graduated yet another special school her father had sent her to, she’s fed up with her ‘angel’ persona. She hops on a bus, rides to the furthest stop available and lands a job at the most popular place in the city of Bakersfield, California: Dale’s Ladies, a gentlemen's club, or at least that’s just the front it uses, people from all over come to use this club for their addictions or to take care of unfinished business. You can do anything in this club: murder, sex, drugs, you name it you can do it. With only one rule, you have to do it within the walls of the club. Jett Lynch is the oldest of the twins, his younger twin Dale Lynch, owns a club and helps bring in some heavy cash from the ladies he has, the drugs he sells and the gruesome murders that he’s allowed to happen and not say a word about to ANYONE. Jett is popular in a bad way with the media, and the police; he’s the head of the mafia in the city of Bakersfield. He does things to people the police won’t when it’s deserved. What happens when someone who wants to overthrow Jett, gets wind of his new prize? Will Grace be caught in the crossfire or will she be taking the heat of it?

Every choice, a trap. Because the twins don't want to love him. They want to keep him. And Noah, despite everything, might want to be kept.

Sa masiglang lungsod ng Makati, kung saan tila hindi kailanman humihinto ang buhay, tatlong buhay ang nalalagay sa isang sapantaha ng pag-ibig, lihim, at pagtataksil. Si Talia, isang batang babae na may misteryosong aura, ay kasama ang kanyang kasintahan, si Robert. Ang kanilang pag-ibig ay tila tunay, isang ugnayang nabuo sa loob ng maraming taon ng pagsasama. Ngunit sila parehong may itinatagong lihim sina Talia at Robert na nagbabanta na sirain ang lahat ng kanilang itinaguyod. Ang bagay na iyon ay si Nelson, ang kanilang charismatic at kaakit-akit na kasama sa bahay sa prestihiyosong Ayala Condominium. Si Nelson ay hindi lamang isang kaibigan o tagapagtapat—siya ang lalaking nakakuha ng puso nina Talia at Robert sa mga paraang hindi nila maipaliwanag. Bawat nakaw na sulyap, bulung-bulong na usapan, at ipinagbabawal na haplos ay nagpapalalim ng tensyon sa kanilang pinagsasaluhang tahanan, na lumilikha ng isang emosyonal na bagyo na wala sa kanila ang handang harapin. Habang nagtatagpo ang kanilang mga buhay sa hindi inaasahang mga paraan, kailangan nilang maglakbay sa malabong tubig ng pag-ibig, pagnanasa, at katapatan. Ang misteryosong kalikasan ni Talia ay nagtatago ng kanyang sariling mga lihim, at ang tila kalmadong asal ni Robert ay nagsisimulang mabasag sa bigat ng kanyang guilt. Samantala, si Nelson, na nahuli sa gitna, ay nahihirapan sa kanyang sariling emosyon at sa kaguluhang hindi niya sinasadyang nalikha. Sa likod ng masiglang kalakaran ng mga kalye ng Makati at marangyang pamumuhay sa mga mataas na gusali, ito ay sumasalamin sa mga kumplikadong aspeto ng pag-ibig at ang kahinaan ng tiwala. Ito ay isang kwento tungkol sa mga pagpipiliang ginagawa natin, mga lihim na itinatago natin, at mga hindi sinasambit na pagnanasa na maaaring magbuklod—o sumira—sa ating mga relasyon. Kapag nagbanggaan ang mga puso at lumabas ang mga pagtataksil, makakaligtas ba ang pag-ibig sa mga epekto nito?

The first time I met him, he was lying in the recovery room after surgery, looking weak and lifeless. But strangely, my heart skipped in a way I hadn't felt in three years. I tried to act professional, but every time I stood beside him to check his vital signs or give his medications, my heart reacted in ways I couldn't explain. I couldn't even look him in the face without feeling shy. One small moment led to another until I finally gathered the courage to ask him for his number. But as his recovery improved and his discharge day approached, I couldn't stop asking myself one question: Would our story end at the hospital, or was this just the beginning?

Everyone thinks Jimmy Hudson, my college roommate, is the typical brutally honest and socially clueless guy who just has zero filter sometimes. A friend and I meet up to go boxing and practice our hooks, but he calls it a hookup when texting the group chat about it. He even nonchalantly says he won't be deleting his message. When I meet my boxing buddy, he says I'm meeting my hookup buddy. He even has the nerve to say, "It's just a joke. Don't be overly sensitive and read so much into it." Thanks to a few more of his dirty tricks, my reputation is ruined, and the entire class ostracizes me. But Jimmy doesn't stop there. He slips sleeping pills into my drink, which leads me to miss an exam. Later, he claims it was just a careless mistake and blames it on his scatterbrained tendencies. Eventually, he dumps crushed cherry pits into my water bottle, which ends up poisoning me to death. This all happened because our campus belle, whom he has a crush on, helped me with my luggage on our first day on campus. All of a sudden, my eyes open again. I've returned to the first day of my freshman year at college. This time, I'm going to let Jimmy get a taste of what it's like to have his life ruined with a helping of some social cluelessness of my own.

Isang doktor na nahulog sa kanyang pasyente. Dinakip at sapilitang inalok ng kasal. Makatatakas pa kaya s’ya? ***** Unang araw ni Claire sa Hope Psychiatric Hospital bilang isang sikayatris nang nakawan s’ya ng halik ng kanyang pasuway na pasyente.

I’m your patient, remember?” Dahan-dahang lumapit ang lalaki sa kinakabahang doktora. “And I need you as my medicine to cure this crazy obsession of mine.”
