Slytherin House Common Room

Evelyn Ward never imagined that a routine walk home could shatter her life. Taken from her small Oregon town, she’s thrown into a velvet prison known as The Bidding Room, an elite underground auction where innocence is rare, and the most powerful men in the world come to buy it. Dressed like a doll, paraded as prey, Evelyn is thrust into a world of wealth, cruelty, and obsession. What should have ended in despair becomes the start of something more twisted - because the man who buys her isn’t a collector or a sadist. He’s something far worse. Lucien Moretti - The Devil of Verona - rules a vast criminal empire, built on fear and blood. He doesn’t pay for what he wants. He takes it. Yet something about Evelyn stops him. A silent challenge in her eyes, a trembling defiance that speaks louder than screams. He buys her not for pleasure - but to destroy what is pure. Except she doesn’t break. And that enrages him more than he expected. Their lives spiral in a dangerous dance of power and obsession. Lucien's enemies circle like vultures, and his own people begin to question his judgment. Evelyn isn’t just a girl anymore - she’s a symbol of his weakness, and they want to exploit that. As Evelyn is drawn deeper into the mafia world, her morality blurs. Can she resist becoming like them? Or is the darkness already inside her? In a story of violence, betrayal, and unnatural love, Evelyn and Lucien are caught in a storm they may not survive. And even if they do - what will be left of them?

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?
