Novel & Cerita Tell The Truth

Isabella Santos's world revolves around saving her sister Jenny from a rare blood disorder. Working multiple jobs in BGC barely covers the hospital bills. One fateful morning, her trembling hands spill hot coffee on Alexander Del Rosario's ₱50,000 suit. Instead of anger, his eyes hold an intriguing proposition. Xander's mother, Regina keeps arranging matches with socialites he can't stand. When he meets the fiery barista who stands up to him despite her mistake, he sees an opportunity. He offers Isa a one-year marriage contract worth ₱10 million - enough to save Jenny. But their undeniable chemistry challenges the contract's "no feelings" clause. During a company retreat in El Nido, one passionate night changes everything. Their fake relationship starts feeling real until Isa discovers documents linking Del Rosario Industries to her father's death. The shock triggers a panic attack, leading to her hospitalization where she learns she's six weeks pregnant. "Hindi ko kaya 'to. I need to protect my baby from them," she decides, disappearing without a trace. Three years later, fate reunites them at a charity gala. But Xander meets his daughter Sofia, the spitting image of him. "Paano mo nagawa 'to sa akin?" he confronts Isa. Before they can reconcile, and clear out everything, Marco emerges claiming to be Sofia's real father. Regina orchestrates DNA tests and custody battles. Through investigating his father's old records, Xander uncovers Regina's manipulation in destroying the Santos construction company. He confronts his mother: "Pinili mong sirain ang buhay nila dahil lang sa pride mo?!" Meanwhile, Isa faces kidnapping attempts and corporate espionage. The truth about Marco's involvement with rival companies comes to light. During a dramatic confrontation at the Del Rosario's mansion, Xander chooses Isa and Sofia over his empire. "Wala akong pakialam sa company. Kayo ang mahalaga sa akin."

“In a family built on secrets, loving the wrong person may be the only truth left.” Si Loriene Tianelle Mejes ay lumaking parang prinsesa—ang bunsong anak ng makapangyarihang pamilyang Mejes na sanay makuha ang lahat ng kanyang naisin. Ngunit sa kabila ng marangyang buhay at pagmamahal ng pamilya, may isang bagay na kailanman ay hindi niya nakuha: ang atensyon at lambing ng malamig at mailap na si Jaxon Roan, ang panganay na tila laging may pader sa pagitan nilang dalawa. Ang hindi alam ni Loriene, bawat paglayo ni Jaxon ay hindi dahil sa kawalan ng pakialam, kundi dahil sa isang damdaming matagal nitong itinatago—isang pagnanasang ipinagbabawal niyang maramdaman para sa babaeng itinuring niyang kapatid. Gumuho ang mundo ni Loriene nang dumating si Angelique, ang tunay na anak ng mga Mejes, at sa isang iglap ay nawala ang lugar na matagal niyang inakalang kanya. Kasabay ng pagbagsak ng kanyang pagkakakilanlan, nabunyag ang katotohanang hindi pala sila magkadugo ni Jaxon—isang rebelasyong naging simula ng pag-ibig na matagal nang pinipigilan. Sa isang bahay-tabing dagat, malayo sa mapanghusgang mundo, sumiklab ang damdaming matagal nilang ikinadena. Ngunit ang kanilang pagmamahalan ay naging mitsa ng galit ng pamilyang Mejes, dahilan upang sila’y paghiwalayin at itapon si Loriene sa isang payak na buhay sa probinsya. Pagkalipas ng tatlong taon, nagbalik si Loriene bilang isang matagumpay na propesyonal—mas matatag, mas malamig, at hindi na ang babaeng minsang iniwan. Ngunit muling ginulo ng tadhana ang kanyang mundo nang magtagpo sila ni Jaxon, ngayo’y engaged na sa iba. Habang muling nag-aalab ang dati nilang damdamin, isang mas malalim na sikreto ang mabubunyag—isang katotohanang maaaring sumira o tuluyang magpalaya sa pag-ibig na kahit panahon, kasinungalingan, at paghihiwalay ay hindi kayang patayin..
