Stronger By Ang Chris

Kapalit ng dalawang pari na bigla na lang nawala na parang bula, dumating sa Iglesia Catolica de Villapureza si Father Merlindo "Mer" Fabian na may sariling bagahe rin na dinadala. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, may mas malaking problema pa pala siyang kakaharapin sa kanyang pagbabalik mula Vaticano kabilang na doon ang batang babae na nagngangalang Minggay at ang mga lihim nito na pilit niyang itinatago.

Gabriel Del Fuego. Possessive and hardworking when it comes to business. But, being Millionaire can’t make him happy. He tries to win Carmela’s heart. Pag-angkin na inaakala niyang ikasasaya niya, kung sa huli ay matutuklasan niyang kakambal pala ng kanyang nobya ang babaeng nasa piling niya—si Almira Ocampo, ang babaeng nakatakdang ikasal sa kanyang kapatid. Saan siya dadalhin ng galit, maitatama ba ang pagkakamaling kahit kailan ay hindi na mabubura?

Paano kung ang babaeng anak ng taong pumatay sa iyong pamilya ay ang babaeng pinakamamahal mo? Handa mo bang isakripisyo ang pag-ibig mo kapalit ng iyong paghihiganti?

Halos muntik lang naman malunod habang lumalangoy ang kapatid ni Hadden, at para diyan, itinulak niya ako sa pool pagkatapos itali. Iniwan niya lang ako ng maliit na butas para sa hangin na may sukat na isang pulgada. Sinabi niya na pagbabayaran ko ang lahat ng doble para sa bawat pagdurusang dinanas ni Julia. Hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Wala akong magawa kundi subukan ang aking buong makakaya habang umiyak ako at pinakiusapan siya na pakawalan ako. Pero ang natanggap ko lang ay leksyon. “Hindi ka matututo kung hindi kita tuturuan ng leksyon ngayon.” Nagpumiglas ako para manatiling nakalutang, pero… Inabot ng limang araw bago naglaho ang galit ni Hadden at itinigil niya na ang pagdurusa ko, pero huli na ang lahat. “Pakakawalan kita sa pagkakataong ito, pero huwag mo nang uulitin ang parehong pagkakamali!” Namatay na ako sa pagkalunod.

Nangilid ang luha ni Alyana nang makita ang mga letrato na nagpapatunay ng panloloko sa kanya ni Derrick. Muling bumalik sa kanya ang sakit na talagang niloloko lang siya ni Derrick, na nioloko lang siya ng kaisa isang lalakeng pinagkatiwalaan niya. “Your boyfriend has been cheating on you since you’ve been together. And I need a wife for me to get my inheritance. Kaya pakasalan mo ako, at ipamukha natin sa pamangkin ko kung gaano siya katanga na pinakawalan ka," mariing ani pa ni Gabriel. Mabigat ang bawat salita, punong-puno ng determinasyon at galit. Sabay noon, dahan-dahang nilagay ni Gabriel ang kamay sa bewang ni Alyana. Hindi siya agad gumalaw. Parang natigilan ang buong katawan niya, pero kasunod no’n ay ang mainit na dampi ng labi ni Gabriel sa kanya, mabilis, ngunit may bakas ng kontroladong pagnanasa. Isang halik na parang paunang tikim sa mas mapusok pang alok. Napasinghap si Alyana, napaigtad sa gulat. Napatingin siya sa mga mata ni Gabriel, matapang, diretso, at puno ng panunukso. "It's a win-win situation," bulong ni Gabriel, habang hindi inaalis ang tingin sa kanya. "Makakapaghiganti ka sa manloloko mong ex, at ako, makukuha ko ang mana ko."

Angela Bailey spent six years believing her marriage was built on love, only to discover her devoted husband was nothing more than a polished illusion. When she filed for divorce and asked her daughter to leave with her, the little girl clung to another woman’s hand and called her “Mom.” Donald Turner, cold and entitled, told her, “As long as you apologize to Nina, you can still live your high-society life.” Angela scoffed. “You might not even stay in high society yourself.” She walked out of the Turner household with nothing, determined to rebuild her life from the ground up. With her own talent and grit, she joined a new company and went head-to-head with her ex. Just when Donald realized his mistake and wanted her back, another man stepped into Angela’s life—someone who protected her openly, supported her quietly, and cherished her without hesitation. Donald regretted everything and wanted her back. He appeared with their daughter, eyes red as he pleaded, “I’ll give you the entire Turner family. Please love me and our daughter again.” The man beside Angela laughed. “The Turner family? That means nothing. Angela doesn’t need it. And as for a daughter…” He looked at Angela, and together they said, “We already have one.”

On her birthday, a letter arrives from her father, Gerald Wenston —a man who has ignored her for years.
