For years, no one had been able to activate the last dragon's heart. No one except a poor young thief. ___ She only had one job–stealing a precious stone. Yet it landed her with an overbearing dragon. ___ Locked and chained, Scar suddenly awakened when his heart palpitated for the first time in decades, coming face to face with a young girl cradling his heart. In his vengeful attempt to get it back, they activate the spell binding him to her. Now not only was his heart stolen, but he was also enslaved. Scar vowed to kill the girl once the bond was broken. The only problem is no one had ever successfully broken a dragon bond, nor would it allow him to harm its new master. ___ "Oh... um ... sorry. I didn't mean to…um.. pry. I'm... gonna go now." I stuttered, inching backward from his penetrating gaze, glancing around for a way out. "I don't know who you're, but I do know you're not here willingly. Seeing as you're chained and all." Silence. "How about I set you free, and in return, you get us out of here?" Silence. Maybe he couldn't talk, so I did the only thing I could. Grabbing the keys, I fumbled with the heavy chains of his cage. His gaze finally shifted to the wooden box I dropped on the floor. "Fancy, isn't it?" I said. "I've never seen anything like it before. But then again, I'm not familiar with expensive stuff." A deep rumble rattled from his throat, freezing me in place. I glanced up at him wearily. "Run." And then he was charging towards me. ___ Tropes: Enemies to lovers. Hidden identity. Reverse harem. Betrayal. Revenge. Arranged marriage. Contract. Escape with pregnancy. Forced proximity. ___

For years, Novalyn Hart has been hopelessly in love with her best friend, Rowan Oberon—the boy who once saved her, the man she quietly imagined a future with. Now he’s a brilliant doctor, and her feelings have only deepened. But when she finally gathers the courage to confess her heart, she’s already too late. Shattered and humiliated, she stumbles straight into Rowan’s older twin brother, Sebastian Oberon—a cocky, dangerous playboy with the same face but none of Rowan’s warmth.

He mocks her devotion to Rowan… and the pathetic way her heart still beats for a man who can’t love her back. But the more Novalyn and Sebastian are forced into each other’s lives, the more complicated everything becomes. Because Sebastian starts wanting what he shouldn’t. And Rowan realizing too late what he’s about to lose starts looking at Novalyn in a way he never has before. Soon, both brothers want her. Both are falling for her. And Novalyn is caught in the middle of a love that was never meant to be a triangle… until it became one.

Ang bunsong anak ko, na pitong taong gulang palang, ay natuklaw ng ahas. Dinala ko siya sa ospital ng aking panganay na anak para ipagamot. Sa hindi inaasahan, inakala ng girlfriend ng aking panganay na anak na ako ay kanyang kabit. Hindi lang niya pinipigilan ang mga medical staff sa pagpapagamot sa bunso kong anank, kundi sinampal niya pa ako. "Perfect match kami ng boyfriend ko. Ang kapal ng mukha mo para dalhin ang hindi mo tunay na anak dito para hamunin ako!" Idiniin niya ako sa sahig habang hinahampas at sinasaktan niya ako. Sumigaw pa siya, "Ang isang malandi na tulad mo ay titigil lang sa pang-aakit sa iba kapag hindi mo na kaya!" Binuugbog ako, maraming pasa, at duguan habang dinadala ako sa emergency room. Ang aking panganay na anak ang humahawak sa operasyon. Nanginginig ang kanyang kamay habang nakahawak sa kanyang scalpel, at mukha siyang mapula. "Sino ang gumawa nito sa iyo, Ma?"

Di sebuah kampus yang kelihatannya biasa aja, delapan mahasiswa dengan karakter yang saling bertolak belakang nggak pernah nyangka kalau pertemuan mereka bakal jadi titik balik hidup masing-masing. Aurelya, cewek yang terkenal galak dan susah didekati, cuma kelihatan kuat di luar. Raksa, cowok pendiam yang kelihatannya dingin, diam-diam punya cara sendiri bikin orang terpanggil ke arahnya. Mereka selalu bentrok, tapi setiap benturan justru bikin mereka makin sulit menjauh. Di sekitar mereka, ada teman-teman lain yang perlahan masuk ke pusaran cerita: Nayara yang misterius tapi punya hati paling lembut. Satya yang tenang dan selalu bisa baca suasana. Arya yang populer tapi rapuh tanpa ada yang tahu. Shafira yang sederhana dan jadi perekat kelompok. Keira dan Dewa yang ribut tiap hari tapi kalau jauh justru saling nyari. Vanya dan Elvano yang deketnya dimulai dari obrolan receh dan saling goda. Awalnya semua cuma terasa sebagai pertemanan ringan: kelas, tugas, nongkrong, saling ngeledek, dan konflik kecil khas anak kampus. Tapi makin lama, batas antara teman dan “lebih dari teman” mulai kabur. Perasaan pelan-pelan tumbuh, diam-diam, tanpa ada yang berani ngaku duluan. Sampai akhirnya masa lalu masing-masing kebuka sedikit demi sedikit— luka keluarga, trauma yang mereka tutup rapat, kegagalan, kehilangan… Semua itu bikin kelompok ini nyaris pecah karena salah paham dan ego. Beberapa hubungan mulai bersemi, beberapa hampir kandas. Ada yang saling suka tapi gengsi. Ada yang saling sayang tapi saling menjauh. Ada yang saling butuh tapi belum berani mengaku. Dan saat krisis terbesar datang— kehilangan, gosip, hancurnya kepercayaan, hilangnya seseorang dari lingkaran— mereka sadar satu hal: Cinta dan persahabatan nggak pernah tentang siapa yang paling kuat, tapi siapa yang mau tetap tinggal ketika semuanya runtuh. Perlahan… mereka belajar tumbuh. Buka luka yang selama ini ditutup. Belajar jatuh cinta dengan cara yang lebih dewasa. Dan berdamai dengan masa lalu masing-masing.

My neighbors across the hall had a nasty habit of stealing. This included my food deliveries, my shoes from the cabinet, and even my clothes drying on the rooftop. Nothing was safe from them. I had enough. One day, I placed a pair of shoes borrowed from my friend, who was battling an extreme case of athlete’s foot, outside my door. Not long after they stole them, they came banging on my door in the middle of the night, furious about the outbreak on their feet. They even filed a complaint at the hospital where I work. I was so furious that I invited a few homeless patients to move in. A muscular man with HIV, an elderly woman with syphilis, and a young man with severe mental health issues became their new neighbors. The thieves could not handle it and begged the landlord to evict them. However, the joke was on them. My family owned the entire building. If anyone was leaving, it certainly was not me.
